“I knew that was gonna be a poor idea, but we got away with it.” An unexpected highlight of this excellent tour!

You know whats the best about this review? The fact you said " I recorded lots of boats today " Win Win ! Beneteau Oceanis 38.1, beautiful boat, the interior choice of wood/color made the whole space look far bigger than actually is!

Aquaholic - bringing a friendly, informative and inspirational insight into the boating world that would otherwise seem unattainable and out of reach for most. Thanks for your work.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@kevinbanham2429]

Nice layout like the big shower room 👍🏻

[@Hanjotruper]

I really like the spacing on sailingboats often a lot more than on motoryachts. It is much more utilitarian. I don't need 20 Showers and 15 walk in closets (e.g. a en-suit for every Cabin). I mean if i am on a 30-40 foot boat it is probably with family and close friends anyways, bit to tight to share with strangers imo. 1 Seperate shower and 1 Toilet would be more than enough and then use that space to make the cabines bigger/ add more storage room/ a place for a laundry machine, a seperate cabin maybe with a desk to work at so you can do some homeofficing. If i OWN the boat i do not need it to be a Hotelroom, i want it to be a second home. And like i said, i find sailingyachts tend to fill that role much more than motoryachts. That said, it might be obvious why. If i am a sailor, i am willing to work to get from A to B on my boat, while motoryachts probably attract a verry differen clientel.

[@Michael_Chater]

* en-suite

[@SurreyAlan]

If you were married to my wife you'd know that 2 toilets is essential. There's also the rule of 4 for toilet roll storage, every female requires 4 rolls for every 1 used by a chap, what they do with it who knows, one of lifes mysteries.

[@Hanjotruper]

@@SurreyAlan then put 1 "Bathroom" Shower plus toilet and one single toilet. If you really need it, but it might be better to change your toilet habbits and safe the space to stock up all the toiletpaper you need ;).

[@HyperSarcasticAvocado]

@@SurreyAlan Time to get a bidet. You can feed it from the salt water to get that ocean fresh feeling!

[@HyperSarcasticAvocado]

@@charlieodom9107 I don't need a big shower. I don't wash my feet and I am not starting now.

[@Ron-zr6se]

Another delightful boat tour. It is quite refreshing to see more sailboat tours. Power boats are all about getting to the next port of call as fast as possible while sailboats are all about the journey along the way. If you are in a hurry, sailboats are not for you but if you love the journey and being moved by the wind, there is a sailboat calling you.

[@dreammfyre]

4:39 That’s a very ninja looking hatch.

[@jameshooper5671]

Those lovely hull windows in the forward cabin really make this boats 'at anchor' appeal. Most boats this size only have the deck hatch but imagine waking up anchored in a beautiful Mallorcan cove and having that view from your bed. The new Bavaria C38 has added decent forward cabin windows too.

[@llama-berry]

Love the double door to the master bedroom. Looks much more spacious.

[@Ob1sdarkside]

The sunlight reflecting off the water on the roof above the interior dining table, that has me sold. I'm already sailing down the coast of France in July.

[@koomaj]

Wow! These are shockingly popular. But honestyly, I can see why. Affordable family cruising is the name of the game. I like the little sister of this even more.

[@hambo6969]

A bit of excitement today with you moving the coffee tray! I thought it was a gonner.

[@markasomerville]

What a gorgeous interior. Took me by surprise how much room you have in there. That large storage space under the seat. That would be an ideal place to put my wife when I need a break.

[@jero721]

Nick - New with a small Hand-Workout 👍🏼

[@jameswaterhouse156]

Beneteau always seem to produce simple classy vessels whether power or sail, this is no exception. Thanks again Nick Cheers

[@andym847]

Cracking tour of a really appealing little yacht. We really are spoilt for choice in this size range, well designed and expertly executed. Super yacht quality at an attainable price point and sensible size. Thank you as always for a cracking tour, take care and stay safe. 👍👍👍⛴🛳🛥🚤🏴‍☠️⛵🚢⚓😎

[@tal0ndarktalon637]

I’ve said it before, I generally like a centre cockpit better, but that shower! 🔥For a production boat, she’s a sweet one. Once again Nick is bringing the variety, with another fantastic Aquaholic Tour!

Have fun with it taking up all the exterior space and getting sprayed

Love looking around these sail boats, I prefer dreaming about motor yachts but these sailers are really smart. Lovely weather in Southampton today, I can't even remember where my shorts are! 🤪👍

[@bobuncle8704]

It is boats like this that make it so hard to decide between s/v or m/v. Stunning.

[@2greybear]

Thank you for putting a price..I am so tired of looking at ads with no price,,I like to have an idea of the value of these beautiful boats..

[@jgriff3218]

Could be a three cabinet layout, that rear storage could be a in law suite. Love the light color in the cabin.

[@raibard8886]

I loved the “weight training” with coffee set part of the video. :) I love this channel!!

[@5amH45lam]

Maggie's got some competition in the _looking-cool-on-a-bench-seat_ stakes, as those seahorse cushions are pretty damn awesome! Great to see a 'sailer' on your channel. A lovely boat and a great price. I wouldn't mind one myself! Great prez as ever, thanks Nick. 💯#☝️😎👌

Jasmine Harrison. On a side note, just figured I'd share something I just read. Jasmine Harrison,a 21year old teacher has single handedly rowed 3,000 miles across the Atlantic in 70 days, about the same time it would take me to row from Torquay to Dartmouth I reckon. 👏👏

[@tudoronline5028]

Your reviews are by far the best yacht and boat reviews here on KZbin. I love how informative and thorough they are. However, PLEASE try to get onto more superyachts!!!! That’s what we’re all really here for :)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm completely stymied by international travel restrictions currently. I'll be back aboard them just as soon as we're able to travel properly again.

[@jimc5000]

So I think that’s the best layout for a boat that size I have seen so far…separate shower room is brilliant…heart tells me I want a 1000hp motorboat to belt about and act like i’m 17..but everything ends tells me what a boat the Oceanis is..always like them anyway but now they seem better than ever..transant is on my bucket list - perfect boat to do it in.

Thank you nick

[@ivok496]

Another sailboat! Great, many thanks! I do like Beneteau, the only thing that spoils the aesthetics in my view is the huge GRP bar above the companionway, resulting in the hugely oversized plastic windows as a result of it. Practical it may be, I just don’t like it. still a Hanse fan!

[@boxhawk5070]

They probably come off pretty quickly and easily.

[@mwrcrft]

Nice looking boat, must have French press coffee brewer looking for a place to fall .

[@whackamolem8024]

Good Morning Nick & Maggie! I really like this layout Nick, I think the price seams great for a new boat with financing now days and I can see how this might be a good option for folks. - That's one of the many reasons I love your videos, we all get to see how much some of the used boats on the market go for...I remember the 2008 Trader 42 that was 250k, That was a lot of boat for the money! Knowing what you might get for how much makes it easier to dream of a boating future. Knowing the price makes it possible to build a timeline..That's the difference between a Dream and a Goal right...a timeline? Kind Regards..Oh and Maggie's sister is on her flight now...thanks for that.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Awesome!

[@ChildcareFinder]

Hey Nick, thanks for another cracking all-access tour - and no broken cups! Quick question, what would be specific to the Med that might leave one needing 2 anchors instead of 1? I'm still learning, thanks for your great insights.

[@nickmarks6066]

Small anchorage, it cuts down on the swing at anchor

[@mzaman8660]

It's nice to see some sailboats! Need more cats too!!

[@amarcy5369]

That seems a lot of boat for the money , compared to the cabin cruiser type. I was also wondering with all that control with regards to sails weather it would be in the realms of the less experienced marina ? . Must admit I was completely smitten by this one . Love your videos that are always given with friendly informed opinions. You are as they say a natural presenter 😀😀😀👍

[@stippolyte]

Yet another class modern sailer, love these drop transoms 👍. Seeing the empty cutlery tray made me think, on many boats you have featured up for sale, you have shown cracking sets of branded crockery, cutlery, glassware, tools etc. Are these supplied with the boat or optional extras when new? Only thing I got was one dealer branded floating key ring, with all 3 keys on, in a shape of an old ships wheel 😂.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It depends - sometimes standard, sometimes optional

[@leonidp3281]

Very nice review as always ! Can you review luxury sailing boats like the Amel 50 or 60 please ?

I was breaking into a cold sweat watching you juggle with that tray!

[@peterwaugh9416]

The biggest difference between Nicks reviews of sailboats v motor yachts is you never hear the word "range" on a sailboat. I think that tells all. I'm pretty sure they invented baked beans in a can for yachties on a long voyage.

[@poughkeepsie8516]

@@AQUAHOLIC I know! Saw the 64 on another channel. Liked the boat so much, but not the walkthrough. But once you’re used to Aquaholic, there’s no other channel!

[@jasonkoch3182]

Admiral, a potentially dumb question. Why do sail boats have two helms?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

So that when the boat is on a reach and heeling over, you can stand at the upwind helm and have a much better view as the sails are on the downwind side of the boat.

[@rafaelcroes4051]

Nice boat Nick, looks economic... but space utilization has evolved greatly.

[@nickmaguire4914]

I haven't sailed anything for many years but does the roller furling main have some form of battens? If not is there a loss of performance? I presume this is more a social /cruising feature where performance is weighted less than convenience, because they certainly look easy to use. Until they foul!

[@boxhawk5070]

I'm totally with you. There cannot be sewn in battens that roll up inside, and you can't put them in as you pull the sail out of the mast. And how is the sail attached to the boom? I'm old school where the sail slid into the boom and then you guided it into the mast as you raised it. All this new fangled technology LOL.

[@tonydodds5968]

Very nice
