£641,000 Yacht Tour : Jeanneau DB43

[@Neretva-w9o]

Best part about your channel and Yacht presentation is that it is about the Yachts. Not about you and you being in the shot. But it is all about the boats. And the camera work is all another subject. By far the best Yacht presentation channel out there.

That second cabin really surprised me! I did not expect to see that much space in cabin #2. I could definitely see my wife and I with another couple hanging out on this boat for a long weekend cruising from Marco Island (where we live) to Key West. I have a 37' Grady White sport fishing boat, but this would be a good compromise! Brilliant!

Great tour of the perfect party boat in the 40’ish range. Only concern I’d have is the gap in the drop terrace - shouts broken ankles!

[@JGKingCrusher]

I really like this. One of the better "small" boats you've shown.

It's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 but Mr Burnham sir it's nice to see a new Jeanneau,not had one from Jeanneau for awhile, I could easily spend a fortnight holiday on this boat, it's really no different but better than any two berth caravan or campervan, plus like you say Nick a great party boat for a gang of friends out for the day very smart and tidy,as ever thanks for the tour all the best from Cornwall 🤗👍🖖

[@mikey2864]

Loved it, you nailed it. Excellent review, I loved the boat too. Really nice.

[@markomarten]

A sensible design that works well, the second cabin is better than a few others offered on other boats. Personally I would say it would be great for a longer weekend or a week exploring places . No shortage of fridges, hopefully there might be an ice maker option as it would be a shame to make all the effort and not be able to chill the champagne or drinks. Another great video .

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Hi Nick, Again a great yacht to see this new Jeanneau DB43 a very open day boat what can travel a lot of guest the funny balkomies on both sides you see more and more now but even you can sleep on this yacht with 2 good size cabins and one big bathroom wow a nice chaseboat for a Superyacht what you think Nick great show ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@markshutt1476]

Nice enough, just seems to not quite get it, for me. Can't really fault it, nice day boat design, love the drop balconies. Nice below deck design. I wonder if replacing the engines with outboards, freeing up space in there, and adding a generator and maybe Seakeeper, would be the thing to do. Add toy space in there, too. Nice look at a perfectly usable boat, thanks Nick.

[@timk3939]

Looks like a nice overall package. The quality of the fitout looks good too. I like the bow seat, that has been rare on 40-ish foot sport cruisers of this style in the past. It looks like it has enough speed to make it a comfortable cruiser at decent speeds, as you mentioned.

[@bigcity2085]

More comfy bow fishing than you would get on a center console.

[@seanogden927]

A very beautiful boat, I could definitely spend a week on here. Very nice finishes and spacious for its size, I was surprised by the amount of room below deck. Great tour Nick thank you.

[@johnkidd797]

Thats a very nice boat Nick, as you say in warmer climes it would be fantastic. The range seems a little weak, i expected the usual 250-300 at cruising speed. Maybe they can fit larger tanks or maybe not required as a day boat.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@jimwhitaker4327]

This boat would make a spectacular SBIII.

[@nicolasweber2805]

Well Nick .... This is a very interesting boat. I know you have mentioned other models as a potentiel new "Smugglers blues" - but this could also be a contender...?? And that second cabin.... almost had the DNA of a master cabin if it wasn't for the limited head room.... indeed a generous guest cabin in my opinion . It is interesting how you never spare yourself. We will get a look into everything, even when access is somewhat restricted or tedious .. thank you very much for these videos, and even though superyachts are so nice and very interesting, I personally, think that this segment is so much more interesting - because it "could just some day" become within reach..... again - do not stop - we rely on you for our 15 minutes of "holiday" while we watch these fine boats....

[@pageant1fd]

3fridges, hob and oven but no generator (?) That’ll challenge the batteries and inverter. Yes ? At that price new, I think I would opt for a second user 55/60 footer. Starter boat for those with a villa on the Med……..Hmmm interesting. Thanks for sharing Nick , presentation top class as per usual.

[@clifbradley]

I also picked up on that. Not even any solar either to at least give the appearance of trchzrging batteries to run the hotel load at night. A small 10Kw would be sufficient I think.

What a lovely boat she is i would be very happy to spend a couple of weeks on her only if it was just the two of you, i think they have covered every bit of space and she looks amazing Again Cheers Nick for covering this. Also looking forward to Sunday for a great couple of hours catching up with the ones I’ve missed 👍👍👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Got something really exciting coming on Sunday!!

[@rogernewey1365]

Fun looking boat - and they look lovely when new - but do question the longevity of the cabin build on the modern production boats? Solid engines though, so I guess if it's only getting fairly light use, like you say it would be great for a day out in the sun.

[@DeanPatterson-j9q]

I really like that boat. Very nice size , was looking could I drop down and catch a fresh grouper for dinner.

[@nigelwooldridge615]

Thanks nick nice layout great med boat and reminds me looks a bit SC42 ish

[@sheumais63]

These drop down sections would be ideal for launching a Smugglers Blues inflatable paddle board... On first seeing the range, I thought 144 miles isn't very far, but I imagine it's plenty for the type of use this boat is intended for. I like all the fridge space for beer.

[@tonybazz53]

Drop the speed down to 10 knots and triple the range if needed.

[@HughTFYT]

Looks like Smugglers Blues 3 to me @Nick! 👍😃

[@scottdynek2728]

I love boats like these but they certainly not the fit for my region ( the Great Lakes) where the water temp averages 50-55 degrees and severe N'Easters! I suspect that that would be the case in the UK too. Great tour Nick!

[@sean6387]

The large rear locker is great for storing the daughter's boyfriend. The nearby shower can be utilized to hosing him down too, as and when necessary.

Very nice boat. Looks like it doesn't have a generator, but room to add like a little Panda. With three (small) fridges, that might not be a bad idea. Seems pricy for 1.5 cabins, but that's me being old, I'm afraid... Thanks for the tour!

[@grondhero]

2:34 "Hob is under here." I don't know why this is the first time this really stood out to me, but I decided to look up "hob" because it's not a standard American English term. *hob* noun (1) 1 dialectal, England : hobgoblin, elf _(nope)_ 2: mischief, trouble _(nope)_ -used with play and raise _always raising hob_ *hob* noun (2) 1: a projection at the back or side of a fireplace on which something may be kept warm _(Hmm, nope)_ 2: a cutting tool used for cutting the teeth of worm wheels or gears _(nope)_ 3 British : cooktop _(We have a winner!)_ *hob* verb (bonus) hobbed; hobbing _transitive verb_ 1: to cut with a hob 2: to furnish with hobnails There we go, Aquaholic teaching us British English. 😁

[@godlyobject6509]

Another great tour, Nick. Better accommodation than I was expecting, but I am disappointed by the on-deck seating; there's no corners! That arrangement must be what the market wants, but I'm just not a huge fan, personally.

[@amadphantom]

[@rockitrockit8517]

This boat, fit n finish without doubt makes the Axopar 45 look very very expensive. Axopar's perceived value pricing method must be off the scale.

You need to make a "zombie apocalypse" top 10 video at some point. Maybe even just the exact boat you might pick to have if such an event were to happen.

[@aaronwebb7090]

The "boat" you want is a completely full oil tanker or a nuclear powered sub/ship. Anything less and you will need to refuel way too soon for it to be practical. Next best option is a sail boat with plenty of spare rigging and sails.

[@kfeltenberger]

Good video! Attractive design, but IMO it falls short not having a generator. The staterooms are nice, and I’m a little befuddled that someone spending that amount of coin on this would only get one helm display… Truth be told, I’ve never been a fan of “party boats”, probably having seen first hand how alcohol and water don’t mix, but that’s just me.

[@tiredtrailer]

Smugglers Blues 3??? 😉

[@KimCJorgensen]

Nice boat Nick, but, at that price point I would have expected a fully enclosed and air conditioned area on deck. You don't mention genny or aircon, so I can only assume there isn't any. I didn't see a genny in the engine room either. I just took delivery of a new Bavaria R40 Fly in March, this year, with the biggest air-con/gen-set package @ Euro 512K. The R40 is actually wider than the Jeanneau, has two identical cabins to the DB43, but two separate toilets, each with a large separate shower cubicle. Not to mention the fly-bridge. And mine tops out @ 36+ knots as done by me during the Volvo trials. With identical 380's. No comparison IMO. Still a nice boat, but boy the Jeanneau is expensive for what it is.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

If you want an enclosed main deck, you do indeed want something else, this is an open boat.

[@johnmontague4245]

Hi Nick, that’s a lovely boat, and it seems that it isn’t priced excessively. I have one question please….( which you may have been asked before ) What’s the deal with the straight bow..? I’m probably old school but I much prefer the sloping bow profile. Is this just a new design craze..? Or has it some design benefits or sea keeping positives..? I’d love to know what you think. Cheers John

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It's a popular design trend, it also creates more interior space forward and it also increases the waterline length.
