$6.2 Million Classic Superyacht Tour : 1969 Feadship

[@johncollier608]

$20M refit?! Even if that 5-10 years ago, $6.2 million is still one heck of a bargain. What a superb ship. Well found, Nick. Thanks for sharing.

[@MesaperProductions]

Yeah, that number didn't makes much sense to me,. But hey, refits lose 50% of their value the minute your drive it off the parking lot.

[@gbsailing9436]

@@MesaperProductions Except on this occasion, that boat is now worth $20M! WOW!

The old saying "A boat is a hole in the water you throw money into” is no joke.

[@gbsailing9436]

@@rockets4kids The saying goes: "A boat is a hole in the water you CONTINUALLY pour money into”.

[@epacw4289]

As a boat owner, the saying big hole in the water to throw money at fit well. It make no sense at all and the people who did this retro need a little financial advice. That being said she is a beautiful yacht.

[@The314moses]

I don't know much about yachts, but that is one of the most beautiful ships I've ever seen. Whoever did the restoration on this yacht really knew what they were doing. It's absolutely gorgeous.

[@grondhero]

Definitely a beauty to behold. You can tell Nick is smitten with it because his voice is so soft and he often stopped talking just to look at her. One of the best I've seen here, especially in the crew area. I hope she finds a worthy owner.

[@davebuts1921]

For me this is the best Yacht you have shown us, she just flows perfectly. The look and the quality will never be beaten. Thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like it! 🙂

[@frodsen4277]

Agreed

[@Ron-zr6se]

This is a yacht that oozes nostalgia and a shear delight to behold. Feadship is without a doubt the cats meow of yachts. Thank you Nick for such a wonderful tour.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're extremely welcome! 🙂

@S. M. Ha ha ha, you got me, I love dog's and cat's. Generally I have both, nothing like having salty dogs and a ships cat.

[@richardrodahaffer9357]

Looks like Alexandre Blofeld’s yacht from James Bond movie; the one released after “ Goldfinger “!

[@terrydouglas2777]

It's been a year since I watched this video the last time and I missed it so much I had to revisit her again because I have missed her. I'm 55 years old now and if I could make only two wishes, I would say with my first wish, I wish that I could afford to own her, and my second wish has to be, I wish I could have a special lady to live my life together with her on this beautiful boat with us together to travel to every place her heart desires and live our lives together till the end of our natural days. I hope and pray for my two wishes to come true one day, I would love to see a beautiful Christmas tree set up in that beautiful living room just left of the tv with lights on the tree and gifts under it for our children and grandchildren, and not forgetting about the perfect gift for my very special lady I hope one day to meet her and be together forever. I truly love this yacht and it's still timeless today on June 6th 2024.

[@patrickbrookings]

As many others, I am amazed that this beauty had a $20M refurbishment, but is priced at less than $7M? Wow!! And seriously, this has to be one of the most beautiful ships you have done so far. I love it!! The marriage between old and new is just perfectly done, amazing!

[@d14551]

You went crazy for this yacht and I think you were absolutely right to do so. It's gorgeous!

[@samo81]

You’ve use similar superlatives for other yachts, but this really deserved all of those superlatives! An amazing modern classic.

[@gordonsimpson3235]

That was just stunning Nick. I have always been a big fan of Feadship classic design....this comes from an era of elegance, style and good taste. You can see how much narrower boats were in those days....beautiful proportions, no gross display of wealth 'beach club'. Just fabulous carpentry/varnish work. Bigger definitely NOT better. How proud would you be of a ship like this? The crew mess was amazing, and the integration of modern MFD's all over the boat was reassurance that the boat is all up-to-date. Reminds me of the Burton/Taylor days, when good taste was all and celebrity meant something rather different to today. The sad thing is that when mooring in port - with the Med's 'stern to' obsession, this beauty is likely to have modern 'skyscraper' motor yachts either side dwarfing her and covering-up her magnificence. A boat of this size is not my dream, but I find myself yearning for her!

[@Hyakman5408]

This is one of the most beautiful yachts that I have seen from any era. Stunning does not begin to express my appreciation for this build!

[@johngauntlett4915]

Nick, they mixed the new with the old perfectly.

[@terrydouglas2777]

Thank you Nick for sharing this absolutely beautiful ship with us. She is 54 years old and I know because I am same age. If I had the money I would buy her, but this video is 3 months old now and I'm sure she's been sold after this video went out. This is the perfect boat and I am in love with it. Beautiful craftsmanship and quality of wood and everything just shines. Floors and walls are awesome to look at. I love real wood and this boat definitely has been blessed with alot of it. I hope whoever did buy her respects and takes great care of her. I'm surprised tho about price tag, 20 million refit, an being listed for 6.2 million. Must be a huge mistake. This is by far the nicest boat I've ever seen in my life. This is a 30 million dollar yacht for sure.

[@pookatim]

She is a born-again classic. This is not a "party boat" but an actual step back in time to the elegance that once was "yachting". Good to see someone has found a way to bring one of these fine old ladies up to date without losing their charm. Too often we see these classic yachts in less than optimal condition. This isn't a boat you own, it is a work of art you are privileged to preserve and enjoy. One can imagine dining in white dinner jackets and cocktail dresses in the Caribbean.

[@garyreed2206]

My favorite era of Feadships. I fell in love with this ship when it was named Prosit (and her slightly longer sister Prosit II) when I saw a picture of it in "Cruising World" magazine. Either of them would be my dream yacht.

[@JDSFLA]

I can understand why you are so enthralled with this yacht. She is the embodiment of class.

[@IVAO04ify]

The natural curves, colors, flow of this yacht. Wow! Yacht designers, developers, please take note. This is how it's done!

[@clifbradley]

I loved this yacht for some reason. I called it classic elegance. The door handles did it for me. It's a boat that still needed a few upgrades in my opinion with the AV systems, but it was a nice yacht. A REAL gentleman cruiser

[@debbiejudd4933]

This would be great for a moldy oldie party. Its a beautiful Yacht. Thank you Nick.

[@geoffmolloy4264]

If I had the money - which I don't - I would always choose a Feadship classic over virtually all of the modern boats. A beautiful yacht, with the legs to take you wherever your heart desires. Timeless, class will always out

[@edwardmyers1746]

The guests got it pretty good but man, that must be a lovely ship to crew on, they've got it really good in their quarters.

[@Raysnature]

Love this. If I was ever in the unlikely position to be in this market this is the sort of thing I would be looking for. Simply beautiful.

[@JulieWallis1963]

It’s nice to have dreams and if you’re going to dream, dream big! Carry on imaging the day you go shopping for her.

[@simongood9460]

Well I think we all know whats going to be near the top of your Top 10 super yachts of 2023. She's just stunning and the modernisation is seamless. And well, those have to be the nicest crew quarters on any vessel you've ever toured. Thanks Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I suspect you're right! 🙂

[@TAllyn-qr3io]

I am a Navy veteran (sonartech/advanced electronics field) and a retired Army 1SG (prime power production). I was hired by Detroit Diesel six months prior to retirement, as a field service technician. I worked aboard many M/Y’s and Super Yachts from Greg Norman’s to Jimmy Dean’s as well as the yacht that was in Goldeneye. Also worked on the STARS (soot-trap and regeneration system from Alaska Diesel Electric), which is like a huge catalytic converter system that prevents the black diesel soot from damaging the multimillion dollar paint jobs. Besides marine propulsion and marine generators I worked on hundreds of large to very large land based generators and switch gear from repairs to initial setup and on-site testing. This really is a beautiful yacht. Classic and sexy lines…compared to the insanely ugly yachts of the Russian oligarchs. ✌️👊🤙

[@brianmiller6443]

One of the best builders of all time. I love Feadship yachts. I love how when you are on the decks the steel sides and supports stand out. A truly beautiful yacht. Its amazing how long they can last when taken care of. Thanks Nick

[@bobuncle8704]

Best of both worlds. Classic beauty, modern conveniences. Love it.

[@mannimuh8215]

To all the 20M refit and 6.2M selling cost. There is an interesting article on superyacht times. Here is an excerpt: "Blue, as she was then called, had an unfortunate history of ownership, with her last two owners, one after the other, having poured their hearts and souls into her restoration, but having both sadly passed away before she was complete. In fact, it is estimated that combined they spent in excess of $20,000,000 stripping her down and restoring her to better than new condition, an extraordinary cost for a yacht of some 31-metres."

[@maxnex7676]

Thanks for the update, I was wondering on the restoration cost against the selling price.

[@ridders]

I was thinking about that and came to the conclusion that maybe it's like owning an exotic car: the money spent on it will most likely never be recouped. Thanks for the contribution 👍

Feadship is a name I have not heard in a while but I recall looking at many of their exquisite crafts when I subscribed to Showboats International magazine as a young man.

[@caseylimbert266]

Usually on those kind of boats from that time period, you'd find a set of Detroit Diesels in the engine room, maybe some V-12's or V-16's and they would be able to hear the boat coming for miles before they could see you... probably much much more quiet now.

I have had to watch this video 5 times now and I truly just love it. The layout and the wood with the colors of the furniture are absolutely beautiful and perfect. I can see it having a old style tender fiberglass with wood on the top about 24 foot long sitting on the top boat deck for taking people to the shore and to just joy ride in places like the Bahamas, Jamaica bag Key West Florida. It's timeless and this boat an I both were born in the same year, so we are both 54 years old and she's in Alot better shape than I am. Who ever it was that designed her bedrooms, Nick you were so right when you said they put in only 3 bedrooms and now squish 5 in that same amount of space and the room it has with the 3 is absolutely perfect. Less is A lot more, just like the old saying goes. An speaking about going, I wish we could have seen her moving through the water. Maybe you can go back and visit her again soon and give us another look at her. This is my dream boat from thousands of boats I've ever seen. The technology they updated her with are also perfectly thought out. The only thing that didn't touch my heart was the wallpaper in the day head. I'm just not into tiger wallpaper, unless it has a story behind it. Nick you have shown us all the perfect boat for a gentleman and a family man. I would love to be able to tell my family, look what I just bought for us. An I would be out in the ocean going from place to place so more people are able to see it's splendor and beautiful. They must start making more boats just like, but the word just means change so I'd rather say, they need to start making more boats Exactly like this one. Thank you Nick and I truly appreciate you showing me the most beautiful boat I have ever seen in my 54 years of life. Thank you so much my friend. I absolutely love this boat an would love to see her and touch the wood work on her. Take care and safe travels forward in your life and say hello to your lovely wife, I enjoy seeing and hearing her opinion on your videos with you. So thank you to both of you. Share Love everywhere you travel a smile will help everyone and show them love is truly real.
