What an absolute stunning vessel, this is not your 'new money, maximum bling' style of yacht, this is 'old money' and oozes class. A superb example.

[@ashleypierce8500]

Sailboats are my favorites. The idea that you only need some wind and cloth blows my mind still. Thanks as always Nick!

[@torq1116]

The "cut out" seating in the cockpit looks amazingly inviting. Cozy, but not cramped. The rest of this sailing yacht is just beautiful, so well cared for! Must have a great crew!

[@30bren]

So cozy,, you could say "perfect for tucking yourself away with a good book" 😂👍

[@lionelgower6877]

Love that aft seating cockpit area. Oval shaped doors, just brilliant.

[@marymackenzie2864]

I worked on a yacht called Felicita built by Perini Navi in Ancona way back in the late 70s for a short while . Amazing craft , came back to UK and been driving HGVs for the last 43 years !!!!!

[@jameshaswell2345]

A person could almost forget that they are on a boat with those accommodations. Looks extremely comfortable for owner, guests, and crew!

[@RudeJags]

Thank you Nick, this review has special significance for me. My mum worked for Picchiotti, whose yards in Viareggio, where I grew up, then became Perini Navi. As a child (and now adult!) I saw these beauties being built and sea trailling off the coast. I never got to see inside one until now and it doesn't disappoint. Thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Fantastic! 🙂

[@Lord.Kiltridge]

I absolutely take this around the world. From the coasts of Croatia and Greece, to South America, the South Pacific and everything in between.

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

Wow, what can I say. There is luxury and there is luxury. This yacht is stunning absolutely incredible. There isn't anything I would want to change. She has it all, sailing around the world would be incredible. I've always said that if I had this kind of money, the crew onboard I wouldn't keep them separate. I would invite them to dine with me. Thank you so much Nick for bringing this stunning yacht for our viewing pleasure

[@m-rtin]

The woodwork and interiors are beautiful. Maintains the feeling of being on a boat without feeling cramped or compromised

[@davidfmelbourne3473]

As a sailing boat lover, I only have 3 words for this. Wow, Wow, Wow. Great walkthrough as always Nick. I can just see myself sailing this through the Whitsundays and to the Pacific Islands. No hurry, but in a lot of comfort.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@davidfmelbourne3473]

@@AQUAHOLIC In all honesty, it would be rare to find a rour of yours that I haven't enjoyed. I would be interested to see you make a video of the various tender options though. I.E. a Williams tour? Just a thought

[@kdrangej]

@@davidfmelbourne3473 @Aquaholic maybe a seperate channel for that, like Tenderholic ;-)

[@pliashmuldba]

Well i have same words, but are merely a former merchant marine sailor / engineer.

[@Demonyaa]

What an absolute master piece. Sailboats have a magic that no motorboat can compare, and this one is a real masterpiece. Great presentation Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gloriousradio]

That's not a boat, that's art! What a gorgeous machine.

[@JimmyTRUELOVE]

This is the nicest boat you’ve had on here by a stretch. Immaculate

[@Ruubsiee]

I’ve never been so in love with a sailing yacht!! ❤️

[@Detroitdawg1983]

It comes with its own background theme music lol... top 5 boat of all time so far 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@ami6272]

I clicked on the video for the boat but stayed for your narration! Light-hearted but also exhaustive, I thank you for it!

[@ami6272]

BTW, what yacht was she at 12:34, moored just on the right of this sublime Perini? She looks like a baby Luna haha

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Stay tuned, a full tour of that fine vessel coming to AQUAHOLIC soon! (It's built by Kingship Marine).

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. Absolutely stunning. The best outside spaces on a sailing yacht and an interior that is a gentleman's stately home. Wow. Great to see a masterpiece. Thanks 😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Couldn't agree more!

[@pistonburner6448]

Sure, I just compare it to other similarly sized Perini Navis which have much more open space with their flybridges (they're called that on sailing yachts too, right?) and IMO better below deck arrangements too. Still, now that I see this yacht (which I had looked through on paper) on this fantastic video tour I am thoroughly impressed and feel like this has so much character and its own strengths. Just beautiful!

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

And a Hugh thanks to Nick for this great show of this Perini Navi 37 meter Sail Yacht. What a beautiful yacht you bring us this Sunday with 2 mast sailing boat what sleeps 6/8 guest in great comfort. but also good accomodation for the crew that would be something to experienced a sail on a yacht like this Wow Thanks again Nick that was a Super great Show

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@firewaterbydesign]

A truly lovely vessel.I was greatly surprised by the amount of room that it has, in addition to how many people it can sleep. She is absolutely beautiful!!

[@Ron-zr6se]

Perini Navi is one of my favorite yachts, they are absolutely beautiful and will take you anywhere you desire in style and comfort. Thank you for a lovely tour of this grand lady.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome!

[@phillo1818]

Brilliant twenty second century sailing super yacht, with none of that ridiculous manual hoisting of propulsion labour silliness. And a gorgeous galley and engine room... very impressive indeed. Well done Nick, after posting tomorrows video take the rest of the day off....

[@johngauntlett4915]

I've never done much sailing, but that is absolutely breathtaking, I would have no problem sailing on that.

[@brianbradfield1370]

Perini navi are so far ahead of any other yacht designers. Their yachts are incredible.

[@iancharlton678]

I’m hearing a medley of Bond music in my head……. mwah mwah mwah 🙂 Gorgeous old school class with modern ease of handling…… Surprised on a vessel of such size it doesn’t have a VIP double….. just the master and twin cabins….. although, I would be prepared to compromise if it were gifted 🥳 Nice one Nick 🙂🇬🇧

[@timothywilliams4089]

'Oh me boots and clothes are all in pawn,.....and its mighty stormy round cape horn',.....what a world class yacht,...oozing class and comfort, and I'll bet she shifts when the wind gets up..... beautiful...

[@geoffreydawes4019]

I’m not one for sailing yachts but this boat is absolutely stunning. I could sail the world for years on this beauty.

[@maryholder3795]

What a treat another magnificent boat they don't make them like this anymore. Traditional looking with a modern twist from the refit. Stunning.

[@WOW-li4uj]

Wow! She’s beautiful and huge! Looks like a multi level flat. I like the separated areas in case you just want to be away, just that little separation! Wonderful tour!

[@seanogden927]

Wow what an absolutely beautiful yacht, that is a stunner, love the interior with great finishes, sizeable engine room as well. I am not normally into sailing yachts but I think I could make an exception for this one. A fantastic tour Nick thank you .

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you very much!

[@pistonburner6448]

Yes, more Perini Navi tours, please!! Ellen, Blush and State of Grace are all for sale right now! And please show their tender and toy arrangements with more detail, as I'm interested to know how much of a handicap these sailing yachts have in that department if at all compared to motor yachts!? Seems like they might even have more room for them, but then are they as convenient to use?

[@mohammednadeemanwar2213]

Classic Marine design at it's finest. High tech yet absolutely stunning. Thanks Nick for the tour 👌👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@johncollier608]

Luxury sailing at it's finest. A lovely intercontinental ship. Thanks, Nick.

[@Nozzall]

An absolutely beautiful boat. My favorite thing is the real toe rail with proper overhang to lock your foot in place. Modern boats don't have that anymore and it is important when your on deck in a storm.

[@bradbloodworth642]

You can keep all your mega powered yachts. Nothing speaks louder about the essence of sailing as does a masterpiece such as this lady. My dream is to own a Swan one day. Sadly,to own such a beauty as this could only come to me when I'm in heaven. Wow is right!

[@juancarlosbazanarcay4261]

In my opinion this is the best boat in the history's channel. I love it!!!

[@jazomir]

After that beautiful Hakvoort, Spada, you showed 3 years ago, this is certainly the prettiest 'classic' yacht around. Unfortunately a bit too big for a family to sail by themselves even with all the hydraulic sail handling but we can always dream. Gorgeous!

[@marcusmcsorley_1]

As much as I love something with a vast engine capacity there’s just something that a real sailing yacht exudes, and that’s next level class .

[@Allan003]

This is by far my favourite sailing boat you have shown thus far! It's an absolute stunner! I would love to sail her around the Great Lakes where I live in Canada. Thank you so much for showing her.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@RHP-pw8xt]

Perini Navi are the kings of the big yachts, quite superb.

[@jimbob1427]

These videos of these luxurious sailing boats are my favourite I think.

[@musicguru2545]

What a stunning boat this is. The elegance is just right. Not too opulent nor tacky. I love it!

[@davidworth5753]

What an absolute pleasure it been watching this video. It has been an experience just to watch this, so you can imagine how it would feel if you were to sail on her? So much space and class in one package. Thank you Nick for bringing this to us.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nicbennett6554]

I love motor boats, I own a motor boat, but my two favourite tours on Aquaholic are sailing boats. It’s just soooo pretty! Amazing boat and a credit to the refit as that yacht is stunning. Thanks for taking us around Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@9VARZ]

Oooh! Lovely boat, even though I was half expecting the Nordhavn based on earlier posts! Love the Perini's classic lines and colours! A true gentleman's sailer!

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Nothing like it - real or imagined. Nothing at all. Thank you Nick, et al...

[@AaronSmith-kr5yf]

Absolutely stunning ship!!! Didn't know they made sail-boats this dang big, wonder how fast she'll cruise with a decent wind. That interior is absolutely lovely, that main salon reminds me of my favorite room in my split level ranch house, the basement man cave with its knotty pine paneling. Interior feels like home, comfortable, not showy but just nice.

[@pheebs818]

This boat is stunning and although very traditional it has just the right uniqueness. Definately top 5 of all in your channel. Love love it !

[@timtownsend4151]

You don’t have to slum to sail around the world! Beautifully put Nick.

This is such an exquisite example of a sailing vessel. Beautifully understated and immaculately presented👌

[@markuswunsch]

Perini Navi has built quite a few very lovely yachts including this one... so I was really happy to hear that they were rescued by The Italian Sea Group.

[@jonathanking4107]

This is definitely an OMG. What a wonderful, beautiful, sailing yacht.

[@simongood9460]

That outdoor seating area is worth the price of admission alone, before you get to the amazing interior. Wonderful layout too, oh to be a guest on this one.

[@Andy_M986]

Timeless elegance and class,what a spectacular boat!!!! Perfect layout and design,thanks Nick.

[@alanzom1503]

I've seen all your yacht tours and this yacht is by far the most amazing.

[@MatthewCyUK]

I don't always appreciate the older boats as I should but this is a a lovely boat, and a nice change, Nick! Would be interested to hear about its facilities, water maker, ability to be self-sustaining for long periods (food supply permitting) etc. Well done!!

[@bobt3374]

What an incredible boat the interior is amazing i dont think you could come up with a bad comment & the decks are so well arranged . Excellent review Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you very much!

[@carldevries9108]

As others have said, this is a usable work of art. Simply stunning. I would love to charter on her for a week to see what she is like as I have never sailed. (It makes you realize why old sailing ships had huge crews just to handle the sails and rigging).

[@newto74]

Not normally a fan of sailing yachts but this is spectacular. What a boat. Could disappear for months on end and be quite comfortable

[@williameisenberg1999]

One word comes to mind ….. Perfection !!!

[@davehughes72]

Stunning, I could imagine Agatha Christie, typing the latest Hercule Poirot novel at the desk. A very modern vessel with a traditional feel. Beautiful.

[@SGudur]

This is a beauty, Nick!! I understand why you couldn't cover the engine room as you always love to do.. But, I love this quick tour... That's a two levels of engine room!! Ok.. I am running out of words !! Thank you for sharing this Ep with us... Loads of love from India...

[@pheryl6551]

Usually I don't like sail boats but this one I'd most definitely have. Thanks Nick

[@nickwebb9290]

Strewth Nick, this is awesome 🤩 and that bridge is just something else. I imagine the crew have nothing much to do apart from waiting on the owner and his guests, cooking food and fixing drinks. Heaven afloat 👍

[@mytube001]

The transom almost blends with the water in all its green splendor!

[@billgriffiths1685]

Love the way she can look so traditional, so modern and beautiful at the same time.

[@0tispunkm3y3r]

This one and the previous one you showed (the 30m Lowland) have easily been some of the best you've showcased lately. The newer boats are nice of course, but these older boats just have that extra something about them. A bit more character and I guess elements of "they don't build them like this anymore". The wood work on this one and the Lowland are just top. When you walked into the saloon on the Lowland, I have never seen something that looked more "right" to me than that, it was just perfect. I love those rounded doors on this one as you enter from the rear deck, you don't seem to get features like that now. And those guest berths were really nice and spacious. These things are proper elegance. I'd choose something like these over something newer any day!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I don't disagree with you! They are really lovely. 🙂

[@remistachfitness]

Totally different layout than 99% of the yachts on your channel. Stunning

[@BrassMtn]

This is honestly one of my top favorite yachts you have covered. Absolutely amazing. It is a lot larger than it looks!

[@bosrensen6329]

What a beauty! Thank you so much for an exellent tour, Nick! Saw a Perini Navi for the first time in Croatia in 2019 ....and immediately fell in love! Those italians know a thing or two about boats....

As the President of the American Society for the Elimination of Decorative Pillows (ASEDP) I should like to remind the owner that the proper location of decorative pillows on a yacht is overboard.

It might be bombastic to ask if this lovely thing is expensive... but if we are discussing VALUE... I say great value for this work of art! Nice tour.

[@wildcolonialman]

Fabulous fabulous. The Italians of course, always on the start line for Americas Cup, and in New Zealand, and San Diego, 1995/2000, and of course I was watching. I remember well the magnificent boats built in New Zealand of this marque, with all the automatic sailing engineering, and fabulous interiors. And many of these fabulous boats had there own regatta in our waters. Oh the monies....

[@stephenmurray9850]

I saw the original write up of this yacht in Boat International (still have it actually) . It was a spec build (wasn't ordered by someone at the time of the build) by Perini Navi . Love this yacht and glad to see it has been looked after so well. Good one Nick. Thanks.

No external helm on a sailing yacht, that's really pushing the boat out for yachties! What a lovely vessel.
