£90,000 Yacht Tour : 2012 Grandezza 27OC

[@Mark..P]

More boats under a £100k please. Thanks for making this 🙏

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@nothingsurprisesmeanymore]

Yes at last a nice boat that I can afford to buy outright 👍 but I'm still driving around in a 17 year old car so I'll probably change that first 😄

[@tonyg3091]

Nah, more super yachts. We have to dream BIG my friend!😂

[@Mark..P]

@@tonyg3091 🤣 Good point 🍾

[@hunyesmith03]

Yes, I love the cheaper ones I could actually afford, especially the older ones so you can have more space, and more luxury. One of my favourite homes I’ve ever lived in was when I moved to Scotland for 5 years (I’m a Londoner and am back in London now), it was our 1st property that was just mine and my spouses since moving to Scotland (we spent 3 months in an Airbnb) and it was an apartment on the top floor of the local laird’s (Scottish lords) very, very, very old manor/mansion. Well, it burned down (obviously not the structure just the inside) in the 80s or maybe late 70s and was rebuilt shortly afterwards. When the interior was rebuilt, It was like the most luxurious a 1 bedroom flat of this size could be, it was very large for a 1 bed, but not ridiculously so, & over two floors if you include the giant attic which was one big room the same size as the floor plan of our flat, which we barely used. So it’s the height of luxury, just in the 1980s, with all that lovely 80s charm, and I loved it, SOOOO much! Especially the TV in the bathroom and the toilet seat warmer, and this heat fan thing also in the bathroom which would help dry you after a bath or on cold nights when you use the “head”. I would love a boat like that, the height of luxury but decades ago, I think I’d prefer it to modern luxury anyway, just retrofit a few modern features and keep the cool, luxury 70s, 80s, etc look and feel. Wish we never left that place but the neighbours were, erm, insane, to put it bluntly. They owned every apartment except ours and rented them out as holiday let’s, and they were stuck up, posh twats who watched your every move and would ring the buzzer or walk into our flat whenever they wanted to whine. We rarely,locked the the front door since we had the entire floor, but after she’d barged in unannounced to complain that we put a single can in our normal rubbish bag by mistake or some other nonsense like 10 times, we changed this policy. Her guests were also loud as hell sometimes, which when the floors and walls are made of thick stone is quite a feat. Sorry for the long story, got carried away there, must be getting old!

[@keithjames2450]

Great to have a vlog on a boat that some of us can actually afford!

[@Wonderful-east]

Saya suka sahabat❤❤❤❤

[@sennacher]

But not mantain😂😂😂

[@cudyllbach6468]

Lucky you. Even at this price, it's out of my reach. But do love it.

[@TheLoxxxton]

Its definately more towards the right end of the scale🎉

[@keithjames2450]

@cudyllbach6468 I could buy it, but with costs of upkeep, I'd probably have to live on it! 😁

[@JupixG]

I think it's good to have a healthy balance of smaller and bigger boats featured in these videos :) It's nice to have some affordable boats to look at on occasion. They even do some things in a pretty thoughtful way despite being cheaper, like the manual opening mechanism for the roof in this one which I think is strictly better than those slow electric openers on more expensive boats.

[@RobertLeather]

I've got to be honest, you've been showing so much of the "big stuff" lately that this is a refreshing change and certainly something of interest for someone like me at the start of the boat owning journey. Many thanks. Maybe you could create a playlist of your existing videos that would be useful in this regard. I notice you have very few sailboats that are such good value.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

We do now have price point playlists, check 'em out! 😃

[@nergregga]

I'm always amazed at how much they can manage to "squeeze" into a small boat.

[@rogerreed905]

Im amazed at, even on super yachts ,how small the loos are . . Im a big guy and most would suit . . .

[@romac9516]

I like a mixture - do all the sizes Nick!! Sub 100k is definitely a category which makes me look more closely. This one is smashing, love the ease of the hard top layout and plenty of featues for a 27 footer.

[@mjd991]

Big yachts = big views = more advertising revenue. So I completely get why you video so many super yachts and love watching them. These sub £250k boats you show, the fact you take the same approach and care to show all aspects to these affordable entries onto the water and give thorough reviews, just brilliant! Keep up the fantastic work!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you kindly 🙂

[@howarddavies2483]

Yes Nick…. more boats in this category!!

[@jaimiemadden590]

Sleeps 4 is already a good start for 27’ which appears quite affordable as well. Lots of features for a smaller craft Thank you Nick

[@mudabudda]

Thanks nick it's great that you do boats in this price range.

[@haroldmaycock5373]

Great to see affordable boats 👍more please 🙏

[@mortensorby6352]

I used to own one of these, but with the sunbed option, much like the 28. It's a fantastic 27 footer. Very capable. Well built and feels big for a 27 footer. The ability to close the roof in seconds is so useful. I can't praise this boat enough. 🙂

[@BDL090754]

Packed a lot into it alright, excellent space usage. Agree with comments below, - It's good to see some of these smaller well equipt boats.

[@stevtunes5677]

Lovely boat. Exceptional example of ‘less is more’ sometimes and a lot of sleeping choices for the boat’s size 👌

[@TheMVCoho]

Definately more interesting to see smaller more affordable boats! Thanks for bringing us this one Nick.

[@icculus]

I love that you’re doing more of these smaller cabin cruisers, Thanks Nick! (Don’t get me wrong, still love the larger yachts!)

[@neilhaslam4068]

Love the small boats! Whilst we all love to dream, it’s good to see things that are a little closer to reality from time to time. Many thanks for the ‘small’-boat fix! Perhaps some trailerable boats, Nick? 🙂

[@cheesycol1]

I love the mix Nick! Small boats that are practical and within reach plus the glimpse into the life we can’t afford!! Great videos, thanks

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like them! 🙂

[@danielamazing3264]

Well who doesn’t like a nice and affordable little boat, great layout and wonderful tour thanks Nick!

[@jacktyler7599]

It's nice to see Nick step away from his fascination with unaffordable mega yachts and step aboard an everyman boat. And a very nice choice, at that.

[@Bob8091]

Thanks for bringing this little gem to us Nick. An ideal boat for Northern waters. Posting from Majorca at the mo. 40 C. Nice and hot.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

WOW! That IS hot! Cold and grey here.

[@chad1755]

LOVE this layout. What a great design and smart looking boat! Especially for more temperate climates

[@StayFriendly290]

I love this boat! Please more Boats under 150k€

[@philr7813]

Great to see more affordable and realistically priced boats.

[@HIDDENSOVIET]

thanks for putting a more affordable boat on the channel, and I for one, would love to see more, but a healthy balance is appreciated just as much

[@hugos3098]

another beautiful yacht that was really affordable. a lovely tour as always Nick. I really liked this one 😀

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@davidmwood560]

Excellent boat for nust bimbling round the coast, or the occasional weekend away. With a good turn of speed too when you want it. Great tour, thanks Nick

[@bentingestedal412]

I love that you have a good mix - both big and small boats, and also sailboats😊My favourite start of a weekend morning is coffee and aquaholic outside on my balcony, with ocean view😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Sounds perfect!

[@danielfortier2629]

Contrary to others I DON'T like smaller boats. I have no interest in them. I prefer yachts and THAT is the reason I'm subscribed to this channel. I want to see yachts, yachts and more yachts!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Stay tuned, plenty of lovely big boats coming! 😃

[@jfdrummond]

More like this please Nick and maybe a series on entry level stuff, bowriders etc.

[@lovelifeloveboat]

What a great boat! It is difficult to see where the market for second hand boats has broken, but the newer (Sub 15 year) boats are simply not coming to market at anything like a sensible price - we have posed this as a question to you as you, if anyone, can answer - a second hand V39 that, 10 years ago was on the market for £289K is now on the market for £325K - simply, how would anyone upgrade past the 1990's stock that seems to dominate the second hand market currently - this is the first real example I have seen below 100K, with just about the only other modern alternative being the SC29 - which is a deceptively big boat also! Keep up the good work Nick, we love your enthusiasm, we love the bigger stuff and we steal ideas such as personalised towels, but we are all craving that next boat - we know you are too...!!! :)

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

Sweet ride! Just right for a boat tour that shows an accessible useable boat.

[@rexpayne7836]

Great weekender. Great video and presentation. 😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you kindly

[@ThatBoyBuntz]

Yes Nick! A boat for the middle class finally!

[@mmsmits2868]

Fun little boat to go floating when the weather's not stellar! Thanks for showing us!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@davel9130]

I like all the tours, but the sweet spot for me is live aboard class.

[@adamdufait7890]

Great layout for the size of boat, thank you for showing us this 👍

[@ericerven5456]

Enjoy seeing the smaller boats

[@jarrodmatthews8986]

It’s great to see the incremental steps that need to be taken when buying boats. I have just bought my first boat, and I’m already wondering what the next one will look like. I guess we all love to dream about the big boats, but I guess they’ll stay a dream. Having more of the starter boats and next step boats is important as there must be more of us at the bottom of the financial range to appeal to. 😃 That boat has just gone into my top 5 next boats!! 😂

[@anthonybasiliere9366]

Such a nice boat! It appears to be very well made with lovely fit and finish. Extremely economical with the single screw. Love that it has a bow thruster too! I could easily enjoy this pocket cruiser in my local waters as well as a run at the Great Loop. Thanks for thinking of the economically challenged of your viewers Nick.

[@stever7732]

Great to see you focus on a boat that I could afford without putting myself in financial difficulty. In thinking about whether to take up boating (probably offshore), and bearing in mind I have an arthritic knee and some osteoporosis in my spine, I have wondered how easy it would be to find an affordable 25’-35’ boat with some form of helm seat suspension. I hardly ever hear this mentioned in reviews of the latest new boats so am guessing this is not often a standard feature outside of some of the Scandinavian built boats. Is helm seat suspension generally easy to have retrofitted, either to the existing seat or as a new seat?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It's very rare outside of anything specialised very high performance. Whether it can be retrofitted depends very much on the boat. If it has pedestal style seats on a flat deck then quite possibly.

[@oneslackr]

Thanks for the tour Nick. I always enjoy seeing the Finnish boats.

[@rentedmule569]

Fun-looking day boat. Would be a blast to charge around in. Thanks for the show, Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@9VARZ]

I'm still aspiring to get my giant rubber duckie floatie but yes to both the "Big stuff" and the dinky ones! Love them both! ❤❤❤

[@MrIrrelevanT021]

That is a beautiful weekender. Perfectly set up.

[@wizpin]

nice to see something more affordable, looks like a great little family boat.

[@kreabea78]

I would not want my MIL in that second bed, but its perfect for a child. I really like this size yacht, and maybe jusr a couple feet more. Thx, Nick

[@coolvideos8864]

Think I have just seen my retirement boat! I love this channel!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoy it! 🙂

[@adrianstrud]

Thanks Nick. I watched your tour of the Galeon last week and that really set bar but as lovely as this boat is, Galeon would be my dream boat. Your voice and relaxed commentary style really reminds me of Jonathon Agnew, Aggers beware ! Great video, Cheers

[@coalitionperformance5901]

Love it, great to see this size boat, actually can imagine you with one of these !

[@davidpearson2590]

Please keep these reviews coming Nick ,that was a great boat

[@jorgelongoria1098]

Not cheaper! …. More affordable to the common wealth ! Lol love your channel! Better than prime time tv

[@MinistryoAgriculture]

I gawp in awe at the Superyachts and really like the 70-100 ft Boats (especially Nordhavns) but these smaller, pre-loved practical jobs are the ones I can (realistically) dream of. “Get-At-Able”, as someone once said. All the Tours are a must watch, though.

[@Kim_Jensen]

Lovely to see realistic boat once in a while, and this one is a great examble. Tons of fun could be had, thanks 😀

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@KenFriisHansen]

Definitely far more interested in affordable boats. Nothing wrong with daydreaming about a million dollar yacht that most of us can't afford, but practical walkthroughs of boat within reach of more/most people are in short supply

[@oneminutebeerreviews6628]

Both practical and sexy for the money yacht. Keep up the good work Nick

[@tteric67]

Cool one! They managed to put a lot into this and it makes you wonder why would you need a bigger boat now! Clever! Just missed the shower, but it still does look very new and stylish.

[@gordonsimpson3235]

Now that's value Nick

[@marchport]

Nice! Very practical and looks well built.

[@jasonadawe5130]

Good value boat

[@debbiejudd4933]

Perfect starter boat. I could see myself owning this one. Thank you Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like it!

[@maryholder3795]

A nice practical compact boat, like the hard top. I wondered does any British builder make boats with a hard top. This is you and Marianne type boat for day to week trips. For a small boat there is a lot to unpack. So more please not only many large boats but smaller ones and all sizes of boats between. Thank you.

[@JohnMason-ds9vd]

Love the small boats but have a soft spot for the larger ones ❤

[@randyreid2916]

A very smart and practical boat for its size...thanks for the tour!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@PatriccoMalta]

what a well laid out boat this is. beautiful

[@Sarrienne]

Aww, another Wave-less video... I did see a mirror in the heads, you know!! Could be a fun little cruiser, maybe a weekender for two. I'm not sure if four adults would do so well, but definitely good for a 2+2 family.

[@luisespinosa2468]

beautiful sport cruiser! looking to have something similar for myself in the future. Thank you always for the content.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@youareawesome5236]

The lower deck hanging closet could easily house 3 cabin crew plus a Capt. Great video n crew areas as always.

[@FreedomForce100]

Fantastic video, as usual. Thank you and yes, please, tour more affordable boats. There are many channels featuring expensive yachts. Very few have this price range which is ironic as I suspect this matches more viewers' budget.

[@Stew282]

Lovely little boat - and one we might be able to afford one day!

Hi Nick, And thank you for this super nice show of this Grandezza this time for a more affordable price i am like that. This is a nice family boat i think for starts the nice wood choice looks great sleeps four guest I hope you bring us more boats with a affordable price like you did on MBY in the past Thanks Nick a great show ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@michaels8199]

Thanks so much for this one Nick. I do agree it's worth having the occasional smaller, and / or less expensive boat shown. It's definitely worth "mixing it up". Also, it would mean I don't have to rely on the lottery to fund the dream ... this one is in the ballpark. 🤣🤣🤣 And as always, an excellent review. Thanks again.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@lisaevans5840]

Great boat for £90k. The woodwork looks quality. @AQUAHOLIC - what is the headroom like in the heads?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I can't honestly remember.

[@BillyBobDingledorf]

More like this. Not always specifically this. Variety in this price range. I do like the 270C. Back off on a couple of options and we're looking at a $90K (US) boat. Get it a few years old and we're at a price I might be able to work with, not just fantasize about. Thanks Nick.

[@SimonStamenkovic]

I spend a lot of time staring at the 25-30 footers when ever i go down to torquay marina. Owning a boat in that size bracket would be a dream come true. Myself, the boat a nice bay and some sunshine would do me perfectly. I might even think about inviting my wife.

[@rtbinc2273]

Thanks so much for these videos - you make my day. It's interesting to see how different and similar this is to Smugglers Blues. I want more of everything on this channel. What I like best is I'm never sure what will show up. It's Tuesday what will Nick have today? I loved the Canal Long Boats you did a while back. You're not the only channel that will do the latest and greatest, but what about a 10 or 15 year old Princess? What is that like now and what kind of value do they represent? Also, when you go out with Marianne some old interesting boats slip by in the background - what about those? I've heard the UK has something called a Folk boat - a little sailboat - is that so and are they interesting? When you do the Meet the Owners you guys discuss all these little boats from back in the day. A Swordfish or something like that keeps being mentioned. What are they?

[@Spudeaux]

I think that might be the quietest powered engine compartment cover you've featured.

[@MrPette75]

that's more finnish practicality as you can get! and after 11 years it still turns heads for sure. yada yada etc!!! can't wait the next episode, unless it's a darn sailingboat!! 😁
