£90,000 Yacht Tour : 2016 Trusty T23

[@MaybuTron]

That's a fabulous weekend fishing boat right there! Can deal with the choppy stuff off the coast, and sleep in enough comfort! As much as I love your multi million pound tours, I always appreciate these tours to see what can be had on a much more realistic budget!

[@bill8784]

well said

[@BOBisjustBOB]

wrote exactly what i was thinking, catch and cook weekend, perfect

[@SerbanOprescu]

Yeap.

[@davidmwood560]

What a remarkable little "ship". I have to say that I'm really impressed by this one. She has a proper "little ship" character about her with, as you pointed out, everything you need to go boating. I like the build too, she has that very determined; "Trust me, I'll give you lots of fun and I'll keep you safe" look and feel about her. Very nicely presented as always. Thank you Nick

[@stevefaure415]

What an absolutely charming little boat. This is perfect for an old guy, puttering around as you say, just a lovely boat. And by old guy I mean me. Thanks!

[@dallesamllhals9161]

Define OLD guy? Some "older" guys are loosing their nice charming "boats" at the moment... ;-)

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

Absolute gem of a boat. I like the idea of a small, purposeful boat that would look after you in dodgy weather.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

It starts with the name. Say "Trinity Tea Twenty Three" and you're smiling. Then look at the boat and you'll shiver with bits of whimsical excitement. Inside, it does not disappoint - in fact, it goes above and beyond. Cozy, Sunny, Fun and Bright - no matter the weather. Thanks for the smiles, Nick, great way to start the week end.

[@kingjackupeace5844]

Sir Nick, I'm sure that many of us really appreciate all the different makes and models of boats and yachts that you share with this large community! Thank you Sir! Cheers! 🇬🇧

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It's a pleasure 🙂

[@nickpope2913]

She's a cracking little ship Nick. Perfect for a couple who just want to get away for weekends regularly and at modest cost. Please, more like this. Thanks.

[@TheSamaell]

I love it ! Not everything need to be the size of a city and 1000+ hp with a jacuzzi. If you don't spend more than a few weeks a year on the watter this is an absolute gem.

[@EverydayProjects]

I really like this size and style of boat! It's like a pocket-size Nordhavn. Brilliant how the galley, large helm seats, a setee, head with shower and a master bunk all fit inside! Lovely and capable little boat. Many thanks for your continuing great work, Nick!

[@ravanalti3740]

I love that your boat tours do not change with the price of the boat. You are just as excited with a small double bed in the bow on a $50,000 vessel as you are on a 3 deck super yacht.

[@kenholt8297]

Love this boat more than many of the 25-35 footers I have seen. It is well built and an off shore boat too. Thanks for the tour Nick. 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@trixiepickle8779]

I'm a sucker for these little boats, pottering up and down the coast, spending time relaxing. Having a snooze in the afternoon. Lovely, thanks Nick.

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Thank you Nick for this lovely little Trusty T23 thats a nice one Nick just for 2 or 3 people cruising around in the chanels lakes or sea with everything in it more space in the bathroom then expected. Thank you nick this is also a great show from you again

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome!

[@johningham4942]

It's very nice to see the smaller boats nick as it takes us all back to when many of us seasoned captain's, first ventured into the world of boating! That engine was immaculate which just shows that its owner cared for this boat in order to carry on boating, another great tour nick!

[@TR4zest]

I love it. I may have to seek on out. Perfect for fishing, weekends away, and can go offshore too! All with cheaper mooring fees and a single engine for economy. Really nice boat.

[@nickwatkins5321]

I’ve enjoyed this tour more than on some of the big yachts you do. What a superb little boat. Affordable to the masses, far more space than you’d imagine. Take down the sides and you have a great inshore fishing boat, sides up and you have loads of space. Love it

[@garybenson2280]

I’m retiring next year and after watching your Chanel I had my heart set something like an Axopar 28 or an older 25 foot Sargo or Targa. I live on the east coast of Scotland and mainly want a boat to take my ten foot sit on kayak to places I’d not normally get to and for snorkelling from. Totally taken by this boat, would allow me to do everything I want to for far less money and running costs. Brilliant little boat and well presented as always Nick. Thank you

[@jarkkohenriksson7866]

What I like is that the fit and finish looks to be big boat quality. Nothing looks flimsy. It also has a lot of big boat equipment and features. Sometimes these smaller boats are built up so that they are just shells but when you try to equipt them you find out that extras really don't fit anywhere and there is no space or storage for them but this looks like a complete little boat.

[@darrsxjr]

Great tour as always thank you Nick, I look at that and think of all those times when you have been out on Smugglers and said we are going to take a nice slow run back to take it all in, with this little beauty you have all the time in the world

[@AQUAHOLIC]

So true!

[@bobuncle8704]

Brilliant little boat. Would love to have that to head to for my weekends.

[@jonathanmorgan7503]

"compact and bijou Mostyn" 😂😂I say this too Nick. Just the thing for a couple this - Cross the channel, through the canals, down to the Cote d'Azur and back up across 2 seasons.

[@herenow6953]

Please can I join you?! Sounds perfect!

[@chrisclarke7828]

You got it in one.

[@JyttesTrailCamera]

Loving this one! I agree, it's a perfect little boat for putting around over the weekend. Who needs more than 6 knots anyway? Solid and cute, and quite roomy for 23'.

[@colinrickman4126]

Great boat and tour. Real testament to the previous owner for great maintenance. Engine room is immaculate (including the drain around the deck hatch).

[@steve-marsh]

OMG I love it - would love to do a challenge and take this round the coast of Britain.

[@oceanmaster7]

Experienced force 7 in one of these. Outstading and very seaworthy vessel. 6 knots all the way. Great videos.

[@cookiemonster2299]

Well I'm glad you took a chance on touring this one, I like these types of boats, ideal for the Tamar or even a potter upto Dartmouth, lovely. 👍🇬🇧❤️

[@DarthPreamp]

I LOVE this boat! It's kind of like the David vs Goliath story compared to some of the other boats you show!

[@lordsleepyhead]

Love this one! It's so squat and dinky but with heaps of character! Glad you decided to give it a shot.

[@spandangle334]

love these little boats .. sailing dingies can be set up for sleepling with boom tents so is the camping of boats but this is one step up .. this id say is the caravaning of boats and i love it nick mate 😍😍😍😍

[@danielamazing3264]

A brilliant and charming little boat that definitely earns the name “Trusty”. I would be perfectly happy to cruise along the coast and anchor in a secluded bay for lunch on this boat, I’m rather taken by it! Lovely tour and thanks for sharing this one Nick!

[@andrewleatherman4931]

Great small boat for a beginner, such as me. I really like how close the engine is to the deck and it seems pretty get-atable. Love it!

[@9VARZ]

She's so cute! I would definitely love to spend weekends onboard with a few good books! Thanks for the tour, Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@debbiejudd4933]

Needs a little work. But for a starter boat she perfect. Thank you Nick.

[@sandeepkumarsingh4567]

Looking stunning great in Blues Sir... With blue water... And as always great presentation

[@robertlindstrom540]

Good that you do not overlook boats in this size and category. For most of your viewers this is what we can get for our money and memories are made onboard these every season. That one is a serious piece of kit, would be perfect for my needs. In fact I own one of a similar size, and it is great to go out with at a relatively small investment cost. The running costs are also marginal so that will never stop one from taking a tour. And seated comfortably, with a cold brew in hand one is every bit the captain on the high seas. Great boat (and a good review)!

[@maryholder3795]

A proper little boat, despite looking like a tub. She looks very versatile I hope she finds an owner who will treat her with the respect and TLC she deserves. Magical boat, like this one Nick I hope this video helps to find an owner.

[@michaelowens6366]

We have one of these boats for the last 11 years. In one word it is amazing, great on the open sea and inland waterways. We are just getting it ready to launch in the next two weeks and can not wait to get out on the water.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Awesome!

[@full_chat3721]

Thanks for showing this one Nick, this may not be the video that goes viral but I enjoyed this more than the super yachts, this is the sort of boat I may end up in!

[@rcatkin1]

I’m no expert but that looks like a really high quality boat, the finishes are really nice and it very light. Love all the space out back too

[@futte2303]

Great video Nick. This is a funny little boat. it is fairly new but looks old. Old craftsmanship has been used for the decor, but it looks like new. but you are right, if you are floating you are boating. Have a great weekend Nick and Marianne.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks, you too!

[@SurreyAlan]

Just 22 foot 9 inches and it has an oven! Truly impressed by the finish in this ship that puts many bigger names to shame. Retired and in no great hurry to get places, 6 knots would be ideal. A 24 gallon tank means I wouldn't have another heart attack when I filled her up and a holding tank means when you get up in the middle of the night (you might not be there yet Nick) you don't have to use the marina toilets. I went and found the brokerage details for this one, at 90k it is very affordable to buy and to run. Only 28 hours on the normally aspirated engine so no expensive turbo. According to the details the owner ticked almost all the extras, like the low maintenance artificial teak, it looks as well cared for as SM2. The hull reminds me of the pocket sailing cruisers I hankered after when young, bilge kills so could be dried out while reading Riddle of the Sands. Amazing packaging, so much space in no length at all, all you could want. Very glad you looked at this one, I don't suppose I will but I could, I doubt it will hang around for long, this spec is almost a once in a life time opportunity.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Sounds like it has your name on it! 🙂

[@useitwice]

One of my first boats was a 17-18(?) foot swedish "Stortriss, mk2", 1970s sailboat. It slept 4 adults, had a 2-burner stove and lots of storage (unless you used that for all of the cool sails you can spruce it up with). The 5 HP outdoor motor gave it about 8 knot marching speed and the 25L tank would last the whole summer season and then some. This was about 15 years ago. People are PAYING to get rid of these awesome boats now. Beat THAT Nick 😘

[@jonathanking4107]

Absolutely love this. It has a real camper van feel. Thanks Nick.

[@michaelmahfouz1576]

beautiful offshore boat and another brilliant video nick! thank you. watching your channel always makes my day better

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Happy to hear that! 🙂

[@SilasMoleCatcher]

Bit of fishing while the wife warms up yesterday's casserole on the stove, anchor up, bit of gentle rumpy-pumpy and a siesta before motoring back to the mooring. This boat ticks a lot of boxes.

[@mhbhorticulture]

What a glorious little boat. I’d love to have it as my first boat.

[@Fumbuzi]

I love how you showcase the "super boats" because they're so cool but what's so interesting, as you say, are the floating-boating boats that are accessible to the "regulars" of us out there. This fits this so perfectly. Thank you! This is a neat boat worthy of our attention!

[@philr7813]

That is a really cracking, sturdy little boat that won’t let you down.

[@seanogden927]

I agree with you Nick this is a lovely little yacht that you could easily pass by. It has everything you need just scaled down, thankyou for the tour Nick.

[@Kongo_PR]

My God I 100% love that boat. It's a total beauty. That's the kind of blessing I need in my life.

[@oneslackr]

Nick, I agree this is a great little boat. I'm surprised how well it's equipped considering how small it is.

[@TheMVCoho]

Love it, next to the Nordhavns perhaps my favorite boat you have shown us. More please!!

[@williamc6774]

I love how they didn't shy away from calling it a "T23" which is also, of course, a Royal Navy Frigate!

[@BillWalkerSD]

What a charming little ship! As long as you don't mind going sailboat speeds, it'd be great fun.

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

Wonderful! I have to say that I enjoy watching the videos of small to medium yachts the most as it's incredible to see what's done with the limited space they have and there's also much more of a cosy feeling to them than the big ones which sometimes feel more like floating hotels.

[@dracklock1923]

Love the clip you make of boat every persons could buy, that's not in the million class. Not that we don't like the big yacht tour. That we all can dream off to own.

[@YorkshireRC]

That’s such a lovely little boat, more like this please Nick

[@blest5132]

smart little ship, would be great for deep sea fishing, thanks for showing us this nick, have a great weekend, cheers!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks, you too!

[@scottbaxter7771]

As someone looking for an economical day boat with ability to overnight with 2 kids, these are awesome. Keep the sub 32ft (10m) boats coming. Loving it, from Australia

[@davidmeek8017]

Aloha; it's adorable! Thanks for taking the chance! Mahalo

[@phillo1818]

I almost wanted to don my Levi bellbottoms... However it seems to be very well maintained and the engine room is wonderfully clean, nearly spotless it would seem. I find it rather novel and amusing that one can park on a tidal flat and not tip over at low tide. Talk about the ultimate anchor...lol... Have a great week Nick.

[@otm646]

She only holds 24 gallons, they claim 255 NM range. That Wallas diesel fired oven and stovetop are incredible. It can also work as aux heat.

[@TexanUSMC8089]

That's about 4 days of fun.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

That's $110 US dollars to fill for a weekend of fishing and fun.You maybe can rent a room for a night for that,but you can't catch your own dinner and cook it in your room.What a beauty of a weekender.

[@grahammarkhorn]

What a fantastic little boat for the same price as a merry fisher! Nice one Nick what a find.

[@crusadeagainsttomatoes2518]

This is amazing! A proper boat, showing what can be done when you ignore inscrutable design cues! This is why I am such a fan of Botnia. Being a sail boat owner, the power aspect doesn’t interest me, I’d rather have a seaworthy, slow(er) boat!

[@wareidav]

I love the way you are as enthusiastic about this boat as you are with a 120ft Sunseeker. "Like a 4/5ths motorboat" LOL. Everything you need just a little smaller. Just wonderful.

[@alisavas9526]

What a lovely little gem!

[@cbrusharmy]

That's a great boat. We need to get you on a Ranger Tug, maybe a 27. I think you'd fall in-love, and I know you'd enjoy the speed.

[@1x3dil]

Great Nick An access to the world of boating for probably the vast majority of people in the real world , couldn’t help notice the shear quality of finish on things like the wheelhouse doors . Definitely a thumbs up sir for this one Kind regards as always 👍😀👍😀

[@deeser]

That's a little cracker of a boat. You know what, I frequently enjoy your reviews of smaller/cookier bots like this more than some of the enormous super yachts; they have a certain charm

[@robertcotton7421]

What a great boat for pottering around a estuary with the capability of a bit of coastal travel

[@mtbelly1972]

What a wonderful little boat. I do like this one. Looks like you could have hours of fun on it.

[@gervers]

It does exactly what it says on the tin! Just great! Have a great weekend everyone!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks! You too!

[@martincarpenter6487]

I was really interested to see this boat. I spent a long weekend in Wroxham for a friend's birthday and hired a day boat, which was quite similar to this, but a bit more down market. Great fun to be had on the water pootling along.

[@therealunclevanya]

I missed this when it was first uploaded, what a wonderful little ship.

[@offshore.anglers]

Amazing what can be done in 23 feet. Really incredible and great looking quality

[@brianhowells1547]

I prefer your trawler type and "normal" boats. The super yachts you do, I tend to not get as excited by as I know they are completely out of my range and I cannot see myself owning and using one

[@nickydel8506]

Hope you guys had a fun and safe St Patrick's day and keep the boats coming

[@jdray]

Brilliant little boat that would be perfect for puttering around the Puget Sound.

[@andrewfitton764]

Well I just came across this now and this is a boat we can all appreciate. Living in West Northumberland between the Solway and Blyth, Sunseekers and Fairlines would be uncommon. There are few coves or deep estuaries. There is the Irish Sea which never looks too kind and if I imagined boating it’s in this I’d feel happier off St Bees, not a Princess.

[@MrBcbond]

i have watched hundreds of your videos and i absolutely LOVE this. really all you need.

[@veen9667]

Love it! Gave me that wonderful 'little ship feeling''

[@arekpetrosian4965]

What a cute little boat. For a single person, or a couple, it does check most of the boxes, doesn't it?

[@daniellisy7161]

Man I love the boat, I like small boats, this looks like a good alrounder, coast, French canals, as well as island hopping in the Med.

[@BeachFishingAnticsUK]

If I had the money I'd buy that in a heartbeat. More like this please Nick. All the best, Chas

[@Mandurath]

One of my favorite styles of boat.

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. A lovely boat, great offshore fishing or trips up the coast. Everything you need and economical. Bigger inside than it appears. Great video thanks 😊

[@herenow6953]

Love it! Perfect for sunny days on the coast - I'd love one of these to potter around the South Hams - moored in Dartmouth would be perfect!

[@paulshuttleworth6261]

I can see me and my boy on that. If only I lived anywhere near the sea, or knew how to sail, or fish… This is much more interesting than some of the 40ish footers that can all get a bit samey. I love it.

[@Ian-gf8id]

Nick. what a cracking 'little' boat. Capable, appropriate (and modern) equipment, and in good condition. Reviews of the mega-money floating palaces are good entertainment but I'd like to see more reviews of more modest, displacement, boats like this Trusty. Thanks.

[@huyo8167]

Uncle Aquaholic. i would like to see some hyrid boats. would you mind do some video about these boat. thank you!

[@garethchild]

I’ve wanted one of these for years! Amazing boats! Fab film, Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Many thanks!

[@nickhelm2420]

Hi Nick 50years ago when was 17 or thereabouts I spent my weekends as crew on a boat similar in size to that the owner used to take groups of fishermen fishing for skate etc off the needles. He kept it on a mooring by Lymington quay.

[@simonbrisbane5431]

Your correct, it doesnt look much from the outside, but what well put together boat

[@bionicsasquatch]

what a great little beginner boat for someone like myself wanting to learn to navigate in the ocean not just rivers.

[@johncutler285]

Nothing not to like, compact and bijou, nicely priced and inexpensive way to potter about.

[@nathanyoung3640]

Love this little boat it reminds me of the ranger tug, or Nordic tug brands in North America.

[@Mike-ie6ee]

Just when you think you have seen it all, you are surprised again. Thank you Nick. Gems come in all sizes!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@louisglen1653]

You are just as enthusiastic about a 23 foot boat as are about a 123 foot boat! I enjoy your channel!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks :)

[@amc5966]

I love this little boat. It's lovely. You could have so much fun on it.

[@RobEJC]

Lovely little craft with amenities for a weekend, a week and longer, plus you can stay aboard in nearly all weather and wouldn't feel the need to leave her in the berth and escape to the pub and wait out the squalls.
