£600K Yacht Tour : Beneteau Oceanis 54 Yacht

[@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 🎵

[@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!

[@marcmillis3867]

This boat is a joke at this price. You can buy a catamaran for the same $$$.

[@kristian_thick]

"There are two layouts you can have with this boat" is Marianne reading a book on the sofa one of the optional features? 😂

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Certainly not! 😄

[@lennard2600]

@@AQUAHOLIC wish it was

[@tteric67]

Or Marianne putting up curtains, the other! 😜

[@mikeoshea3714]

Would that improve or increase the maintenance? 😃

[@TheRectory33]

Another good walk through. How do you think it compares to the Bavaria 57 you viewed? They seem similar boats.

[@stevenk6638]

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

[@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.

[@martinellefsen4669]

Can you do a video on the Hydrolift X-26 S?

[@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!

[@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.

[@kuyumdzhiev]

You never give information about fuel/water tanks capacity, is there are space for solar, floor storage and etc.

[@ronpirie]

No criticism of your tour or presentation in any way but.... I always wondered where all those Kitchen Designers from MFI went to after they closed down .....

[@simonvanegten7444]

lack of technical info , does it have airco , generator , watermaker or is it just open up every drawner and say plenty storage. ??

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It's just open up every drawner and say plenty storage 🙂

[@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! 😂

[@ianscott3180]

Beneteau are a high volume manufacturer, a lot of boat for your money but so so joinery and squeaky floors. Having said that I sailed a First for many years, I could not afford a Halberg or a Swan. I also think that davits would free up a huge amount of space, who needs a tender garage on a sailing yacht? Good tour though.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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. 😏😜😂

[@fgardner]

Anyone know which Seiko watch Nick is wearing? Really enjoy NIck's watch collection (especially his Rolex coke bezel GMT!) but haven't seen that before.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Seiko 6139-7100

[@SaorAlba1970]

nice big boat .... very surprised it has two big fridges and no freezer considering the length of time you can be out at sea with a sailing boat i thought one or two freezers would be a priority for a sailing boat in this class ... anyways thanks for sharing a lovely big airy and roomy yacht with us

[@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. 👍👍

[@MrHellstorm74]

I like it. But for me being disabled I would want the Moody love the design of those boats

[@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!

[@espenliebak6875]

Fantastic sailboat and very very superb video👍 Marianne with a book👍👍 cool detail😉

[@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 !

[@michiganengineer8621]

Did Marianne come along so you didn't break out your checkbook? Very nice sailing yacht, a TON more space than the last Beneteau I was on. Of course this one is twice the length of my cousins sailboat LOL

[@phillo1818]

Lol, me thinks you've a stalker mate! On the upside she's easier on the eyes...lol...

[@tejjensen9402]

If I had close too $ 830,000 to buy a boat for, I would always look for at a catamaran.

[@Yash-ye1zq]

Nice boat but very creaky

[@9VARZ]

Also, Marianne surprise cameo! 😂😂

[@nashvilletljc5904]

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

[@mrcraftyg8134]

The boat is rather nice, however I really like that you included some out takes this time. Definitely keep some in future videos if you can :)

[@terrywalker1624]

The appearence of Marianne with aforesaid good book had me laughing so much I missed the next bit. Would have been even funnier if she wasn't there when you came in the second time... And love the outtakes!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

We should have done that! 😄

[@david17102000]

I hope no squirrels were hurt during the filming of this video... :)

[@sikandarsaeed6760]

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

[@vicariouswitness]

Sooooooo, You Tube now “Recommends” much more boat review channels since I’ve been watching “AQUAHOLIC”.

[@ashleypierce8500]

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

[@DrClumber]

Lovely yacht, I do wonder why you'd want a 54 foot sailing boat though, the thought of crossing the Atlantic by sail is hugely appealing, crossing it with another couple on board? Not so much!

[@Jason_Reynolds]

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! :)

[@kitsvn]

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

The outtake was gold

[@ceunny]

Hi Nick! Could you review the Sessa Marine line of fly bridges please? I currently own a older C38 but would love to see how the FLY lineup looks like (54). And I've never seen the brand on your channel before, could be fun for lots of viewers?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I will try!

[@azanali6966]

Hi aquaholic can you do a review on the capsule jet if you dont mind please

[@crusadeagainsttomatoes2518]

The Hallberg-Rassy 57 you reviewed a couple of, or maybe a year ago, is much nicer than this, in my opinion.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

For twice the price you'd kinda hope so though... 😄

[@crusadeagainsttomatoes2518]

@@AQUAHOLIC haha, I forgot the price 😆! I would probably go down in size to buy a Hallberg-Rassy for the same price as this Beneteau, Rassy’s interiors are much nicer and I am a big fan of the center cockpit. Thank you for making these yacht reviews, some of the best on KZbin. - Down to the guy behind the camera!

[@doxies]

600K is not the sail away price - probably have to at least 250-300K more in options to spec the boat to bring the boat up to a reasonable level for it's size and intended luxury level.

[@jimdevlin9045]

Why am I watching vids about boats? This stuff is worse that crack-cocaine...is there a support group?

[@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 😂

On the outside it looks marvellous but the inside looks cheap with that colour of wood. Also, the location of the engine disturbs me. The magnetic door knobs are awesome lol

All these beautiful boats on this channel make me dreaming non stop. I need to slap myself in the face to get back into "reality".

[@chrisoleary9876]

Great presentation Nick! Question....do you ever sail? Or are you more exclusive to Motorboats? (i.e., Smugglers Blues)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I have done and would again if I had the opportunity

[@Squirel]

I think Marianne is proving to be a major distraction - even if she is tucked away with a good book!

[@SteifWood]

Very nice that you now also cover what many say are real boats: those with sails. However, to me this one isn't even worth its price for the rig (in fact, if it was mine I would have taken down the rig and kept it as a quarter beach, quarter bathing platform, quarter party machine and quarter love nest). Why? Maybe I'm old fashioned and a sissy, but I think I had refused to sail this boat across any real oceans. Again why? I wouldn't have felt much secure in an open cockpit like this, and the party floor downstairs isn't made for bumpin around at a 30 degree angel. To me this kind of boat (and the majority of models these days) are strictly playboy calm coastal cruisers for the tropical charter market -- and hence, sub-optimal for any blue-water cruising (especially crossing the Tasman or North Sea). Just sayin' ....

[@linusack9455]

Would love to se sub channel of all sailing boats.. Great vids as always.. Keep it up!

[@cookiemonster2299]

Very nice yacht, makes me wish I was into sailing 👍. How many layouts are there for this boat? 🤪 Marianne, if you're gonna take a sicky you've gotta be more discreet lol. Great fun 👍😁

Air con on a sail boat with no generator? Have they come up with a version that runs on batteries?

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

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Jim-nq9cv]

another enjoyable video i have been a fan for a while

[@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

[@graemeday4195]

Strangely, no "thusly", and bereft of, stern to berthing in the med....Great outtakes though

[@JJ-fromDK]

So the boat comes with a Marianne, I'll buy it straight away, hand me the brokers number at once, thank you!

[@joost5345]

As every Beneteau (and pretty much every other French built ship) it feels cheap, it’s clearly not built for anything above 5bf and it’s ugly yo behold. Please stick to the things you know about and don’t waste our time with useless reviews that make no sense to anyone who’s ever been on a sailing yacht.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I will of course ignore the many comments from people who enjoyed it and do exactly as you instruct! 😄

[@joost5345]

@@AQUAHOLIC it was an out cry for mercy rather than an instruction! And let it be said, I’m a happy follower, I just think you should stay away from sailing yachts...

[@davidfmelbourne3473]

LOL - A serious review with hilarity added. I was wondering how long it would be before Marianne became a regular part of your walkthroughs. How is she with the pronunciation of Miele and the unique mirror Nickwave (copyright pending)? But now having critiqued the review, that's a really nice yacht. I can happily see myself sailing around the Whitsundays in that. And a great idea to have a tender garage. I've never really liked towing the tender behind me, particularly on longer trips.

[@stippolyte]

A certain recent PB2 graduate wouldn't have been reading up on Crew or Day Skipper coursework?? Have you any thoughts on going wind power again, think you said Mirror and Lugger many moons ago. Only ask as I 'rediscovered' Tinkers about 3 yrs ago for messing about in and a make great tender for SB2 with your Torqeedo and you could sail it.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Alas, too big and heavy for SB2. I'd love a sailing tender

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.
