£530,000 Yacht Tour : 2009 Windy Xanthos

[@gervers]

What a great boat! It’s 13 years old! It really is still almost state of the art! Well ahead of it’s time and beautifully maintained. Great tour as always! Thank you.

[@fordkahunna675]

Sometimes a 2009 can feel outdated and starting to get old. But this, this one still feels like it’s brand new. What a great second hand boat this would make

[@spitalul2bad]

The heads need some refurbing and maybe the teak decks, but you're right. It's a great boat.

[@762223100]

Absolutely, class with age :)

[@godlyobject6509]

@@spitalul2bad Yeah, this is why I'm just not head over heels about teak. It's unavoidable though; the rest of the boat looks fantastic.

[@pheebs818]

Agreed. I feel the new and updated models of this size boat look more like city apartments. Bring back the high gloss curved wood interiors!

[@blest5132]

wow! this is stunning, everything about this boat is beautifully done. the woodwork is top notch, the 2 aft cabins are spacious, all the hardware screams quality. I love this boat, thanks for showing us this nick, enjoy your weekend mate, cheers!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you very much! You too.

[@mepilot1]

Love all the stainless steel

[@islandiron]

@@AQUAHOLIC Any idea what the retail price might have been in 2009?

[@mohammednadeemanwar2213]

Absolute beauty of a boat. 3 bedroom cabins, full kitchen and 2 good sized heads with showers. Thanks Nick for best boat so far. 👍

[@paulfrost4678]

Love the helm position, such simple ideas with an outstanding difference. Raising the controls, pure genius

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Actually TWO FULL BOATS in one. A fun sport boat on the main deck. A proper cruiser below. Jaw dropping! Nick, if you don't buy this I'm getting the next First Class flight to England, buy this boat, rent the slip next to Smugglers Blues II and have the last laugh. OK, actually, I've not got bus fair to the store, at the moment. So this boat is yours for the purchase - do hurry along. It will take a bit of time to get the name painted on. Thanks, Nick, for cranking up my dream engine - nice ride, this one.

[@debbiejudd4933]

I can see why you like this one. Im not a fan of wood on yachts but this one I love its so beautifully done. I can just see you and Marianne enjoying a bottle of wine getting some down time on this one. If I had the money I would buy her for you both. Thank you Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very lovely! 🙂

[@godlyobject6509]

Wow, I absolutely love that boat; it looks like the people behind it actually own their own boats and go boating. Fantastic. Thanks, Nick.

[@Alan3187Ferguson]

Quite the thing isn't it ? High end, crafted without compromise. The designer would've done their homework seeking out what people yearn for, but kept the practical things also in mind. It even looks fast just sitting still. What a beauty x

[@lenjames]

Wow..I'm blown away with this boat. The best used boat I've seen in a while. Clean, maintained and I love all the curved woodwork. One lucky person is going to be happy with this yacht.

[@pitcat1376]

🎶"Who's reachin' out to capture a moment Everyone knows it's Windy" What a beauty. She almost looks new.

[@johnholmes6897]

I seriously did not expect the lower deck. Outstanding! Better looking than a lot of the super yachts twice the size I would never have expected 3 cabins either. This is a really gorgeous boat

[@bluewaterboattours3694]

8:37 love the coffee / dinette table

[@jeremyevans9521]

Wow, the interior woodwork on this boat may be the most elegant and beautiful that we've seen yet on your channel to date. That is excellent work done by a master carpenter. You can tell that the owners take impeccable care of her because she still looks brand new.

[@boydwyllie8047]

What an utterly breathtaking boat. Hats off to the owner for maintaining his piece of heaven to such a high standard for 13 years. My new favourite fantasy boat! Cracking video tour as always......

[@FLGurl]

There is no one else who details the boats like you do. Thank you so much for your professionalism and details on every bit and piece! I do appreciate your videos. Thank you kindly!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like them!

[@danielamazing3264]

What a fantastic boat, I really like Windy’s they are extremely high quality and the attention to detail is superb! The helm is nothing like I’ve seen before with the raising throttles and to think this was made 10 or so years ago is amazing! Thanks Nick.

[@crazyfroggie6546]

Moving throttle panel, I've seen it all now. Genius design. Lovely boat

[@blewyd]

Never knew much about windy, but always knew they had amazing attention to detail and quality. The helm is a great example of this. Owners did a great job keeping her look amazing aswell.

[@BillWalkerSD]

What a beautiful, well thought out, and well cared for boat! I was fooled at first into thinking it had "navigator" displays on the port side, until I realized those were just the covers from the helm displays laid out in what looked like an intentional pattern! Excellent tour, as always, Nick!

[@justinlinnane8043]

what a stunning boat. What a difference it makes when the boat makers show such attention to detail .

[@alanpotter3863]

I know exactly what you mean when you said about "your favourite boat", It's so difficult to choose. Never thought I'd like a Windy, but that is superb. I think it depends what sort of mood you're in, sporty, relaxing, partying, and where you see yourself going. Shallow quiet cove, long distance, small marina, channel hopping, 1 night on board or a week. That Windy ticks most of those boxes. Lovely boat all round. Great tour, thanks.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Exactly!

[@markperrins9485]

Windy will never cease to amaze. You see I think you could rent out your home and liven on that boat for long periods. Really how much space do you need to be alive. I seriously want one Nick.

[@oneslackr]

Thanks for the tour Nick. It's amazing that this boat is 13 years old. It's very nice & well thought out. I can see why you're taken with it.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

Wow she is stunning. That is what I can a wooden interior. I love how you can raise the throttles up, very clever idea. never seen that before. I wouldnt make a single change her, she is perfect. Thank you so much Nick for bringing this little beauty for our viewing pleasure

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like it!

[@romac9516]

A well loved decade-old boat still offers top notch luxury and modern decor - this is absolutely lovely!

[@nickisrael9922]

NICK... I am speechless...What a fantastic boat. Hugs from Colombia

[@dieynad]

One word: stunning!!! The amazing detailed woodwork, the helm focused design, the beautiful saloon, the lovely cabins, the impressive engines.... Ohh and who could possibly ignore the amazing sliding roof ??? 😊 And, are we not going to talk about the impeccable maintenance? Bar none. Thank you so very much for showing us this beauty. It sure is a favourite. 💐🌺🌼

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like it!

[@gordonsimpson3235]

Nice boat Nick. Quality 'will out', and this is reflected in how it looks and its value today - 13 years later. Beautifully finished and well cared for. Probably your ideal boat Nick! Liked the look of the Broom 50 next door too.

[@jasonmeadows712]

This is one of my favourite boats on this channel. Lovely size and stunning quality. Bigger than this is unnecessary for the average family. Great video Nick. Keep up the good work.

[@ryanalley2446]

Wow, this boat blew me away! The layout and condition is superb!

[@bobuncle8704]

Absolutely agree Nick. What a stunner. The gutters are also something I look at. Someone may give the topsides a good quick clean, but if all the gutters are clean it is more likely she’s kept clean all the time. A great indicator of the level of care taken I believe

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. The transformation at the helm is genius. A wonderful boat, undated style and function. Remote for self handling. Beautiful woodwork. 3 decent cabins and ensuites. I love everything about this one. Stainless Steel quality. Great video thanks 😊

[@9VARZ]

It's so, so rare to find a boat her age that is more or less turn-key. Just get in and drive! It just goes to show how well built and taken care of she was in her time. Great find again, Nick! Enjoyed it!

[@bradw4622]

Absolutely breathtaking woodwork!

[@easybigun7825]

What a lovely boat, it has obviously been loved and well maintained. Getting three decent sized cabins and two dry heads into a down galley 52 footer is extraordinary. Thank you for a great tour as usual.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@johnhunter5890]

Nick, your not kidding, what a marvellous boat. The joinery is amazing, the layout is superb and those engines will get you there with ease. I like your opening comments, yes, depending on the day and the boat it could be my favourite. There are so many to choose from… Thanks as always for a wonderful tour. Cheers

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome 🙂

[@abuhamza1970]

It’s true what they say, “style never goes out of fashion.” Whoever specked this boat originally is a seriously class act and I doff my cap to them. Only downside is I don’t have half a million squid to buy this today so will have to make do with Nick’s videos. Thanks again for a wonderful insight to an exceptional craft.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome! 🙂

[@steinandersen6648]

Thanks Nick. You just made my weekend by presenting this 13 yo stunning boat. Love this particular Windy.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nickwatkins5321]

Nick I can see why you like that. What a magnificent piece of kit. The thought that’s gone into that, the quality! Super impressive. Think I have a new favourite 🤩

[@stephencook6427]

love your show, you make every boat feel special, i have never herd you complain about any boat you have looked over ,why, and its nice here the range at low speed, keep it up

[@johncutler285]

Best Winday I have seen you present,stunning boat

[@itsallgonemad]

OMG Nick! 😍 When I saw the curved saloon doors I thought, ‘Ooo this looks nice’, but that interior just blew me away! That’s my cup of tea… an urn in fact! Three big cabins, vast lower deck, this boat just keeps on giving in extraordinary quality… I WANT THIS ONE NICK!!! 😍👍🏻

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you liked it!! 🙂

[@johningham4942]

What a well looked after motorboat, a credit to the owner, 3 spacious cabins on a 52 foot boat. The woodwork is especially a "wow"! factor on this boat along with the masses of stainless steel, Windy boats know how to build a sturdy motorboat!

[@reeceys2456]

What a fantastic boat! Looks brand new, wouldn’t believe it was 13 years old! Shows boats can last if properly cared for! Great job Nick

[@reeceys2456]

Forgot to say. Going to Boat Heaven in May., Mallorca. Cannot wait to go to Palma to see the Marina. We may be staying at the opposite end of the island but I will make sure we go on a day trip to Palma and have a look around! Been on the maps looking and it looks beautiful!

[@brianunderwood3109]

I love this boat. The quality is top notch and it has subtle differences with the layout and seating that stand out from all other express cruisers. The interior woodwork is spectacular with just enough teak on the outside, everything works great together. Definitely a boat meant to be used and enjoyed. Fantastic. Thanks Nick!

[@jonathanlegg4308]

It's the boat that keeps on giving and I love a bit of stainless steel. Such detail, really like it. 👍

[@ironichumorist]

the Xanthos has always been my absolute dream boat....what a perfect luxury, proper sea boat.

A piece of art, really. No wonder Windy boats are highly regarded, the quality is simply outstanding.

Thank you! Will do!

[@hambo6969]

A beautiful boat today and nothing broken! Great video, as ever.

[@paul52eccles]

The woodwork in the saloon / galley matches the quality of the rest of the boat, absolutely stunningly beautiful. Yet another great tour of an oustanding boat. I think many of the older boats are more beautiful the the newer examples. Thanks Nick fo another tour of dreamland

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Always a pleasure! 🙂

[@jamesdonoghue5907]

Great looking boat - and as you say, dripping in quality.

[@jamesluby6705]

Bloody Tardis, it has way more room inside than I expected, and so beautiful... 👍

[@leytonede1]

Love the throttle height extension; didn't expect that.... Nice Nick!

[@chrisonYTtour]

13 years old! It’s immaculate… and honestly, a timeless design, you’d never pick it’s age from looking… that level of features and fit out for that money… someone’s about to get a very good deal… my mistress would probably still look this good if I could ban my mates and my 3 kids from stepping aboard… seriously, hats off to the previous owners.

[@musicianshotsheet4806]

That interior layout is excellent. A lot of times, you'll see things like a TV which isn't visible from every seat, or a galley which has limited functionality. With this layout, they have eliminated those issues. You can make a proper meal and everyone can see the screen while seated without craning their necks. Well appointed cabins with great privacy is a big plus, as is a proper engine room. Ingenuity is the operative word here. Most impressive.

[@kevinfleming9919]

Great Vlog👍and really nice boat 🚢! Beautiful colors outside and inside, amazing woodwork, and all the touches like the shape of the dash flowing around and the powered console that lifts up and nicely sized cabins for a 3 cabin boat that size! The only thing I would change is to have the Canopy extended out a bit further to give better clearance around the seat so your head isn't so close to it with the angle it has. Very well priced for something that nice that has held its age so well with nothing looking dated!

[@simoncragg7035]

Definitely my new favourite boat. Fantastic video as always

[@edwardwhittaker9604]

Hi Nick, truly a gorgeous example.

[@stephenmurray9850]

[@maveriky43]

Those engines!!! Wow. That is a proper machine. Love this one Nick. Amazing detail and features.

[@1x3dil]

Hi Nick it’s funny you should mention about the drain gutters being clean , because once or twice I’ve noticed even on brand new boats you have reviewed their can be green mould in them . So for a relatively old boat , it’s amazing and would be a detail to lookout for when someone is in the market for a secondhand craft . Kind regards as always 😀👍👍👍

[@kieranharriman7055]

What an absolutely fantastic, well spec’d boat. Has the lot. Now that really is a Smugglers Blues 3 contender. I can see why you like it. Great condition for its age. Still holding its value. Great tour

[@andycalvia]

As a bit of an advocate for Princess I'd never even considered a Windy. After seeing the sheer quality of the build it is now one I would certainly consider. The quality is outstanding and very reminiscent of the Princess and Fairline finishes of the mid 90s-00s

[@andrewlane1305]
