The most stylish, yet understated motoryacht I can recall seeing.

[@markjennings2315]

Absolutely what I was thinking.

[@8MoonsOfJupiter]

A true classic - a gentleman's motor yacht. I'm so pleased that her previous owners were willing to keep her in such beautiful condition.

[@Henson222]

This must be one of the most beautiful boats out there. I would prefer this over any "superyacht".

[@DenisonYachting]

She is a beauty. Glad you think so as well.

[@jerrycallender7604]

I find 'super yachts' to be quite obscene.

[@ericferguson9989]

@@jerrycallender7604 They're the nautical equivalent of "tripple deck, stuffed crust extreme pizza." I would much prefer something comfortable and modest, with some warmth to it, like this vessel.

First time ever a ship whose interior does not look like a ship. Timeless beauty inside. Current manufacturers could learn from this design.

[@harbourdogNL]

I thought at first "Nice lines" but wasn't expecting much from the interior...wow, she gets more gorgeous every step of the way. What a beauty. And 4 gallons an hour?! I think that's better than my Jeep Wrangler!

[@benphillips1454]

What a STUNNING vessel. Beautiful lines and superb craftsmanship. And as always, excellently presented.

[@tonymarazzo289]

Oh mah gosh, what a beautiful ship! Perfectly sized and beautifully equipped! Great presentation of a fantastic ship. I'd love to have her on the Great Lakes!

[@Random-rt5ec]

The woodworking craftsmanship looks spectacular. What an amazing vessel.

[@JRotten]

A true work of art. You can truly see the love put into this beauty.

[@esmeesme7666]

Classic, elegant and cozy. A true gem. Perfect size. The woodwork is splendid.

[@jonoz9847]

I was skeptical of the boat, but man... this thing is amazing. Again, such quality presenting / showing.

[@The_Original_Brad_Miller]

Very beautiful boat, puts off a real 1940's vibe.I really like that they didn't do a full gloss fill on the woodwork like you see so often these days.

[@baluba006]

Amazing in everything. Probably the best yacht I have seen.

[@remotegod255]

Super classy. I really love the interior - so much open space and natural light. The color & material choices bring a sense of light and clarity. It seems so cozy, homey, and sturdy.

[@fluke196c]

Really nice yacht - I like the original ships wheel. It's great to see something like this so well maintained.

[@bigdom1978]

Such a beautiful yatch ❤️

[@Mark-pm9nh]

This is the most elegant and classic yacht I have ever seen . Absolutely fantastic . Amazing what someone with vision can do to update and protect such a beautiful yacht . Mark (Toronto)

[@PieterBreda]

That boat is magnificent. I especially love the colour of wood.

[@LisNick_Ltd]

WOW. With great taste and skill recovery is a classic boat. Every detail says something. Excellent.

[@myrryxmas]

if only i had the kind of scratch needed... this is my ideal of a yacht. understated elegance everywhere you look.

[@lancegiammanco1251]

Don’t know where she is now.... but she will grace any port she visits. Magnificent old girl!

[@Cormac2023]

I've seen hundreds of beautiful yachts and been on board a couple, but if ever I had a dream to own one, this is the kind of yacht that I'd love to spend the rest of my life in. I'm more a lover of well preserved or restored vintage.

[@ChevyBM]

Wow, that boat is a dream! The modernization of the interior has been made with a perfect taste.

[@toekabuizer6776]

What a beautifull interior! Great video as always.

[@BaldwinBay]

On camera talent does a fantastic job offering an eloquent discription of this exquisite motor yacht.

[@narwhalethefancy]

My grandfather's boat, which now belongs to my father, is an old Dixie, she's nothing near a yacht, but she has a cabin and she had wood everywhere. This yacht reminded me of her so much, especially with the push / pull brass tabs which she has.

[@bigredc222]

That's a classy boat, it feels like a beach house where can relax and not be afraid your going to scratch or break something.

[@codyg4318]

Restored boats like this are true art. I have been watching you and the AQUAHOLICS videos like crazy lately!

[@JohnDoe-wy1yd]

Oh my, what a beauty.

[@fajarprasetya3321]

The Interiors it's just amazing.

[@computerbob06]

I love Denison. Such a great selection of yachts. Classic to new, small to massive, sail and motor. And the videos are always of great quality!.......... And you employ Wiley!

[@BaldwinBay]

Excellent presentation of this classic motoryacht. I actually operated the yacht once many years ago prior to vessel being the refitted.

[@jessicalt4121]

Beautiful! I would choose this over any overly done, modern cold looking yacht. This is class all the way.

[@ls6-ss413]

[@SigmaWolf-in2mr]

Lovely Yacht. Great way to spend my last years.

[@JohnBoyDeere]

First class presentation and the "boat", WOW!...

[@GTLees]

Such a remarkably handsome vessel that certainly appears to be completely functional. I love the classic designs and over the decades this one hasn't lost any of that appeal. A fine example.

[@DenisonYachting]

Thank you! We love this one as well.

[@deanmacka4975]

What a beautiful little ship she is .

[@johnrflinn]

Some naval architects should apply their skills at designing tiny houses that give the impression of spaciousness inside like this yacht.

[@benzalkionium]

That boat is far larger than the average house.

[@rahowherox1177]

Lol. I work at a hotel designed by boat designer... looks great but a nightmare to work with (donkey bay inn, russell NZ).

[@johnrflinn]

@@rahowherox1177 Plus hatches, portholes and small head?

[@rahowherox1177]

@@johnrflinn yes, even massive 4m x 4m curved wooden windows, hatches etc... like a 19th century boat really

As a proud owner of Irish Wolfhounds, this is THE boat for me. Almost lost my marbles when the presenter suggested the guest cabin would suit the breed of my life. I'm sold, heart and soul, love the boat, need money... Kudos for presenting this beautiful little yacht in such a convincing way.

Beautiful classic yacht.

[@mpfogle]

What a stunning craft... And quite the price considering all the refit work and updates.

[@craigmonteforte1478]

Absolutely Stunning Vessel Monk styling has always been one of my favorites as he always used that classic lines. In his designs That always Says “ Motor Yacht ! Dakotas fit and finish are also Fabulous in adding to her Classiness As she gives off a Wood hull vibe without the high maintence needs I grew up in South Florida and that is definitely a Boat that would make everyone stop and stare at her. Whenever she appears not all. Boats do that

[@astereux4519]

Stunning yacht in all the sense of the word. What a beauty! I couldn’t expect less from Denison yachts. Well presented, excellent video. On a side note, yes, canoe stern was common back then. We have changed to more “modern” look but they had very good reasons to have it this way, as you stated.
