£600K Yacht Tour : Beneteau Oceanis 54 Yacht

[@k_froggy]

The outtake was gold

[@ashleypierce8500]

Ok now. Just when I thought the channel couldn't get any better. The boat, Marianne, the out takes, all of it. Brilliant.

[@nicbennett6554]

Great tour of a very nice sailing boat! Great to see Marianne joining you with a good book and a giggle to put you off you’re game 😂

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ianlambert6864]

Hope you paid Marianne Award wages for her work on you vlog.

[@nashvilletljc5904]

Ya’ll are made 4 each other. I love it when I see couples laughing together.

[@tal0ndarktalon637]

As I’ve said before, I generally prefer a centre cockpit on a blue water sailboat, but damn I like this one. The interior is fantastic, and her sailing performance should be quite good as well. I’d probably go for the darker wood, but other than that I’d go for this layout, because the galley is excellent. Another fantastic Aquaholic Tour, with a bonus! Great to see the wife tucked away with a good book. Had a genuine chuckle.

[@BuddhaAfterDark]

Marianne tucked away with a god book was the best part! :D

[@mickeyj71hp]

I know right!

[@sonnydelight5737]

"A God book"? That would be a bible, right?

[@BuddhaAfterDark]

@@sonnydelight5737 what is the difference? :p

[@aardvarkmindshank]

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Beneteau yacht 🎵

[@Frissegast]

I like getattable corners where you could tuck yourself away with a good book after a quick wash up in the shower stool and using the heads, preparing for a swim afterwards from the hi-low bathing platform, maybe opening the tender garage to take the Williams tender for a spin into the harbour. Must not forget to put some things away in places like this. Love your reviews, dear Nick!

[@bobuncle8704]

Most excellent review. That is a very nice sail boat for sure. I really like how Marianne snuck in behind you to tuck herself away with a good book. Priceless. 👍👍

[@39PSIOnTheDaily]

Out of all the beautiful yachts I’ve seen you review - some insanely luxurious and others insanely spacious - this is the one I’d want for myself. It’s absolutely perfect!

[@fredmercury1314]

I just need another £530,000 and I could have one of these. Also I'd need to know which ropes to pull on to make the flappy windy things go.

[@tacodias]

Never again I’ll call them sails! From now on they’ll be: flappy windy things!

[@whackamolem8024]

Hi Nick, Jaq and Marianne! (Maggie is MIA now for many episodes) Love the Video! Not as good as that Nordhavn 41, but great boat nonetheless. OK now I will be expecting Marianne cameos in every video. I can imagine it now...Nick: "As you can see here we have a proper crew cabin" - cut to Marianne with a crew shirt and crew cap on...or..Nick: "Here is the engine room with plenty of space making the engines very "Getatable" - cut to Marianne with a white hard hat and clip board standing there inspecting the engines...or...Nick: "ON this layout there is also a wine cooler that comes in handy" cut to Marianne slugging down a glass of wine and passing out drunk on the steps.. teehehee LOVED this new Clasic Aquaholic video. Epic!! Love you guys!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I like your thinking! Maggie cameo on Sunday!

[@stevenk6638]

Questions NEVER asked : how easy is it to access and service " features " that are powered ( tables up/down, tender garage door, TVs, etc ) ???

[@sikandarsaeed6760]

I love the part where marianne has tucked herself away with, I'm sure, a good book! Brilliant little detail!

[@littleskiboy7]

Marianne quite literally tucked away with the proverbial good book! Great job nick! Don’t think we didn’t notice that one lol! (Edit) I posted before the bloopers and now I’m dying! 😂

[@HappyGillmore1978]

Hi nick just chilling listening to jimmy buffett margaritaville while watching your latest video, love the tour. the nicest sailing boat in my opinion you've done so far. beautiful! 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Sounds great!

[@Jan-dn6jo]

Very practical yacht for up to 3 couples, brilliant walk through Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you!

[@9VARZ]

I'm usually not a fan of sailing boats but this one is indeed very, very smart and beautiful. As you'd said, "proper yacht feel"! Thanks for the tour as always, Nick!

[@revoltoff]

Check out Royal Huisman, the best sailing yachts in the world, put 99% of any Motor-Yacht to shame. But they are not cheap at all, a good one is 20 million at least...

[@Ron-zr6se]

The Beneteau Oceanis are nice production sailing yachts with the ability to take you around the world. A brand new Beneteau Oceanis 62 starts out at 792,900 euro. For a 62' sailing yacht, that is not a bad price. Adventure is waiting for those willing to set sail.

[@9VARZ]

@@revoltoff Those are really amazing yachts indeed! Sea Eagle II is definitely my personal highlight too.

[@9VARZ]

@@Ron-zr6se Definitely a very good base price too. Any idea how much would they cost fully optioned? And maybe running costs too?

[@Ron-zr6se]

@@9VARZ I have not priced one with available options since I am moving into a large catamaran. Running costs are around 10% of the value. Keeping your boat well maintained will cost less in the long run. Doing things yourself will keep costs down.

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick, Marianne and Jack. A lovely global yacht. 3 cabins, bright interior. Great walkthrough video tour thanks 😊 the outtakes are funny.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@bencuthbert2738]

Another brilliant tour of a beautiful sailing yatch. Would love to see Nick take one out and a sea trail to show off all those features in action 😁

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Maybe one day!

[@lousey1969]

Brilliant little surprise and very funny outtake. Beautiful looking boat as well. Makes me almost (I said almost) want to give up motor boating!!

[@joshuajones3656]

That light wood interior is absolutely stunning!!

[@weeniehutjunior]

I LOVED the blooper reel you included at the very end Nick! Super funny! You should always include those in your videos. :). Great video as always!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@driverdave5236]

Really nice to see the sailing vessels, great presentation. I do love the super yachts though, but the sailing vessels with the bloopers, are great.

[@SamCyanide]

Beneteau is absolutely fantastic, very nice boats. Hunter with all the extra new goodies

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

Lovely tour. My top sailing boat is still the Moody DS range, but this is nicely laid out.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JIANYM36]

You truly show boat the best possible ways

[@gregoryf9299]

I’ll never be in the position to get such a sailboat.... but if I WERE, I’d train for and get this one! Benetau makes some stunning boats!

[@Ron-zr6se]

Lovely review Nick and having Marianne along as well was excellent. The out takes with the dead squirrel comment was hilarious. Thankfully you didn't have a dog with you as the mere mention of a squirrel would have caused pure pandemonium.

[@Clickumentary]

I'm always torn between the convenience of in mast furling vs. better sail shape and reefing control of conventional main. I'd love to sail on this big Beneteau!

[@treywest268]

Great video on a stupendous sailing vessel!! I would want a tad bit more of freezer and refrigerator space though if planning to use this for a Trans-Atlantic cruise.

[@pellekuipers4076]

Love the Marrianne cameo. Cheers!

[@gsmith207]

Couldn’t sleeep its 4:30 am US eastern time, Never too early for Nick to show me a rather lovely yacht! Beginning to like these types. Really smaht. And makes me talk like a Brit when I type this....(tucked away with a good book indeed! Haaa! That was brilliant!)

[@Berrus81]

I dont know what i like more......Marianne just casualy hanging out on a boat you review, or you waving in the mirror (since you didnt wave in the mirror and strangely enough it always makes me smile). Good video on a beautiful boat 👍

[@paulbearman4653]

Lovely looking yacht. Enjoyed the outtakes, you are human after all. Had always you thought you did the vlogs in one take. Thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Normally I do!

[@paulogrinke7020]

Where did Maryanne come from? She wasnt sitting there when you passed through the first time. Also lovely sail boat. Thanks for the tour.

[@0sireion]

Yes, Nick, love the gag reel and love Marianne joining (and perhaps sabotaging) you! What a great team!

[@jamesmorrison1671]

Great Tour as always Nick - I was thinking that with all the boats you've ever shown the length of 48 to 54 feet seems to be almost the perfect size to me. Anything much larger becomes less snug, less homely, less intimate as it were and ends up almost being too much. These particular size boats seem to capture all that is needed to experience what boating is all about. Anything much larger and the 'feel' seems completely lost. Keep posting, you're the best!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@garrettfuchs2164]

Always an exciting day when Nick gets on a sailboat!

[@leongt1954]

I'm always amazed at how much space the sailing yachts seem to have inside and the galley area

[@tomwatts7715]

Now that's rather nice. Nice to see Marianne in there too demonstrating "tucking yourself away with a good book" I think the Bloopers are an excellent addition too! I think a bloopers video would be great Nick! Or was Marianne a one time distraction 😂

[@bananadude7925]

Normally I’m not a fan of sail boats, but this one is incredible.

[@bumblebee240.]

Than you better be ready to pay for the fuel which is about 500$ per hour for most motor yachts of this size.

[@richardturner4848]

@@bumblebee240. Exactly! Also, I'd love to cross the Atlantic just using the wind, that must be fantastic and the silence on a clear day.

[@sl66ggehrubt]

@@bumblebee240. that's 200 gallon/hour. That's 150 ft yacht. Boats in the 50-70ft range should burn from 10-40. At slow speeds like sailboats 8-10kn, fuel burn would be about $30-50/hour. New set of sails cost a small fortune too.

[@LucasVanderBartlett]

@@richardturner4848 Good luck with that, when you are fully keeled over in sea state 5+ then come back and tell us how you would like to cross the Atlantic.

[@richardturner4848]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kitsvn]

Amazing. I’d love to learn to sail boats like this. Good to see Marianne!

[@iKvetch558]

Dang...Marianne is getting pretty sneaky sneaky...curling up with a book without so much as a peep, a scuffle, or the disturbance of a single piece of lint. 😏😜😂

And the Oscar for best supporting actress in a You Tube video about yachts, yachting and other water based activities goes to........ Marianne!! Great video... loved the outtakes.... laughed when you panned around and Marianne had tucked herself away with a good book! :)

[@strider6920]

Nice boat. Love the hidden tender garage and platform. In mast sails make it much easier to manage. Interesting to learn about the double helms. Nice bright interior due to the light oak. Nice touchscreen controls. Nice to see Marianne relaxing with a good book 😊. Cabins and galley are great. Environmental yachting at its best. Like the outtakes 🤣. Great tour Nick 😊

[@nickwebb9290]

That’s magnificent. Beneteau are producing some excellent craft right across their range and this one’s no exception. Great tour Nick but had you notice you’d acquired a stowaway while we were looking around the master cabin ? 🤣

[@LucasVanderBartlett]

You should put Marianne as an easter egg in every video, like the little wave in the mirror. Thanks Nick for another amazing tour, I find a lot of the other reviews to be a little bit clinical and cold, your videos are relaxed, informal and informative.

[@robertfrost1683]

Do sailboats still have a gold coin at the base of the mast when it is installed ? I knew a guy at Rybovich and he told that was tradition. The Beneteau light finish is very pretty. When are you going to get a look at their new Grand Trawler 62 ? Typical Beneteau SQUEAKY floors ! Your better half looks very comfortable !

[@sporkeh90]

4:00 no that is a sleeping area, when you are anchored in the med its the best place at night
