$6 Million Superyacht Tour : 1985/2008 Abeking & Rasmussen

[@seantwomey396]

Nick, I saw another video on this yacht but your presentation was much more appealing. You highlighted the classic design and the quality of the A&K finishing. I would open up the Sun Deck as it is cluttered.

[@andiscott8470]

THAT is my idea of a yacht. Classic deign, beautifully re-finished and updated. Absolutely love the interior with all that wood, complimented with the calm neutral creams of the upholstery and carpets. Wonderful! Thanks for the in-depth tour!

[@DrClumber]

Yep, same here! If you had the choice between this and one of the Princess' or Fairline superyachts.... not a difficult choice! Individuality and gorgeous lay-out.

[@andiscott8470]

@@DrClumber Absolutely. Don't get me wrong, I think many of the Princess, Sunseaker, Fiarline etc. are beautiful boats. But as you say, the individuality of things like these win out every time. And, in the case of this one, that it has been so beautifully updated (looks a lot more modern than 2008 too!) which has extended its life massively, makes it a beautiful thing in its self.

[@evansfamily1000]

By far my favorite superyacht, Nick--it puts the "class" in "classic!" Not ostentatious at all, but full of luxury and quality--wow!

[@briansmith1029]

Absolutely stunning yacht nick

[@DerickCatman]

This is now my most favorite yacht. Beautiful!

[@chrisoleary9876]

Thanks Nick! Fascinating is the proper adjective for this vessel...

[@1320fastback]

Exterior styling is on point!

[@colinbrown4482]

Nick Good evening This is probably the nicest vessel you have shown An absolute top notch bit of kit

[@mmsmits2868]

That's a yacht from a different era, and yet the rebuild made it perfectly modern. Love how it gives you a little bit of that miniature classic cruise ship vibe. Thanks for the tour!

[@trentstoner4102]

OMG. The most beautiful vessel you have toured us round yet. Stunning. Thank you

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@jimgaul67]

Classic yacht In fantastic shape. I lost count of the bedrooms . Nice job Nick. A big like on this one!

[@dmoonuk]

What a bost well nearly a Ship - Great price cant fault love the layout, Decor, and the amount of room for everyone including the crew.

[@computiNATEor]

9:25 Quite right! 😆What a lovely big boat she is, love the woodwork throughout and the modern furniture that fits so beautifully with the classic style

[@dougtodd24]

Total jaw drop at the size comparison - when you mentioned sizes - between the 2 yachts either side. Just wow and wow again. Nice wee study office / chillout snug space main deck forward. Very nice indeed. I'd be in there most of the time..... Yes, watching tele haha

[@PDeker]

I just loved everything about this yacht and was waiting for a much bigger owners cabin, sorry to say that is a deal breaker.

[@michaelaronsohn3624]

This is beautiful, perfect in every way.

[@KiwiFin]

Oh that's lovely...Thank you for sharing this beauty!!

[@TheMVCoho]

Vast space on this classic! What a ship!!

[@jamarie1972]

Beautiful super yacht and 5000 miles of range they definitely thought about engine choice Great tour as always cheers Nick and Marrianne

[@paulgolding1009]

Glad I asked for a viewing, what a great rebuild, I love these older yachts cause they look like a yacht should with a proper bow shape and classic lines, the plush lounge with proper sofas. That front area is turn through 180 deg so you could have a large screen tv for movies and sound system but still have separating to look out those windows.

[@vegetarianhunterable]

I especially enjoy these tours of the older yachts. Spectacular.

[@notrut]

1985 ... they just don't make 'em like that anymore, utterly magnificent.

[@JamesSwiftakaFifiFrost]

You do the best walkthrough.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you! 🙂

[@mohammednadeemanwar2213]

Thanks for showing a classic vintage that's almost 40 years old but beautifully restored, whilst updated.

[@TheNielskau]

The exterior was my personal favorite: those blue/white cushions, compass engraved wooden tables on the flybridge and the woodwork. Timeless design ❤

[@akumar7366]

Very classy , stunning yacht.

[@Philipk65]

That is a very beautiful classic yacht. Always love wood finishes. Very impressive range

[@darrylalford8879]

That is insane ! Year end is going to be rough ! Thank you !

[@michaelpowell9164]

That's just incredible.

[@ThoughtfulWander]

That study/ library is really cool! 👍👍

[@ritaripley9480]

I love the redo of that boat! 😍 It's beautifully laid out.

[@kennysmusicalcabaret162]

I watch just about all these tours ( and dream of course ! ) but this is the very best for the money and a real step back in time when it was class and style over image to impress !

[@alanpaton694]

Absolute class, perfection, a proper luxury boat not a gin palace

[@gervers]

She is a beautiful piece of nautical history brought lovingly up to date. She is stunning in every way and I would love to spend 6 months on her cruising the Caribbean and then transatlantic into the Med!….. Maybe 12 months then! Great tour Nick and I wish everyone a happy Easter 🐣

[@vinniealex]

What an absolutely beautiful boat! Love that private front den.

[@martinogold]

It's one of those rare yachts where I wouldn't want to change a thing. It's perfect 😍

[@triedproven9908]

It's really nice and the mark up isn't bad at all.

[@terryhughes7349]

This is a lovely ship. Well presented.

[@normbond8888]

What’s not to like about this vessel? Classic but modern with a whole lot of room & accommodations. Beautiful woodwork & crew areas look well kept & accommodations for crew very generous & good quality. There is really nothing missing but room to add any personal amenities if required. Thanks Nick, this is a winner in my book.👍🇨🇦🙏👌

[@d14551]

I really like how roomy this yacht is, assisted by all the windows and the light furnishings. Looks really comfortable.

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Beauty of a yacht there! Nicely done refit! 👍👍

[@noskillsbutihavewatchedayo5765]

Firstly Nick, Happy Easter to Marrianne and your good self sir. What a delightful old gal this boat is and with her refit/rebuild she's good for another thirty - forty years of service at least. I have to agree with your idea of leaving that forward section on the main deck, with it's PC and gaming abilities my lot would call that home for sure. Again I have to draw a comparison between American built yachts and the equivelent European models, this appears so much more welcoming and comfy. As always Nick, thank you for another great tour.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure! 🙂

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Hi Nick, And thank you for this great show on Superyacht Sunday with this Abeking and Rasmussen from 1985 with a refit in 2008, what a boat this is very nice I like the high glose light color wood choice give a spacios feeling the nice salon occur with beautiful sliding doors great only I would change the office in a dining room so there is a beautiful look around 5 sleeping rooms all ensuite a a big master looks great a big engine room Thanks again Nick what a show ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@debbiejudd4933]

She is a great looking yacht. I usually don't like a lot of wood on any one. But there's so much light and space. It' doesn't matter. I would own this one. Thank you Nick.

[@studiothoughts]

such a wonderful refit!

[@stevegray1308]

The best I have seen for a long time.

[@jimb7133]

Amazing my perfect dream yacht

[@charliebailey9467]

Wow !!! Easter Sunday here . Chilling down at Sydney harbour 16 degrees

[@andyraven9855]

It's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 but as I have always said although raised pilot house yachts are not my favourite style of yacht but these older yachts especially those gone through overhauls/refits as this one make what I would call a great full-time live abroad floating homes. What amount of boat you get for the money,and this one is a fine example,I love the layout,the main deck is gorgeous the extension is a great addition and cabins are spacious and well appointed and so on, definitely one for my floating home list,a classic with class 🤗👌🖖

[@bryduhbikeguy]

My compliments to the owners and the Crew for keeping this looking new.If you hadn't said it's age I'd not have guessed it.Everything you could want,and no nonsense.Cheers!

[@jessicalubien5424]

I think this is my favorote vid. The windows and wood are amazing and there is a bathtub! My heart literaly skipped a beat when you opened the shower. Lol. Great boat!

[@stevehill6062]

Just something about the classics. An incredible update, flowing seamlessly with the "old". Thank you Nick. You know your boats. Your respect for and admiration of these fine vessels is very evident.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind 🙂

[@al5846-1xall]

I can't belive the condition and facilities of this yacth...! I was born in 85 but this ship is in a much better shape than me 😅. Fantastic tour from Nick. Regars from Bali...

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Hey there Bali! 🙂

[@cats4life244]

There is just something about the 80s exterior yacht design. Timeless.

[@ryanalley2446]

Beautiful , classic yacht with a stunning rebuild/fit!

[@gedmcmahon619]

Wow Nick.. Frist up that's a floating mansion for 6 Million. Am following you years and you've showed us much much smaller vessels for a lot more money. This beautiful boat is stunning inside and out and an absolute credit to the current owner's. I think it's my new favourite video from you Nick and that's saying something. Thanks for showing us around.

[@chrisonYTtour]

Yeah, there’s a lot to love about this one Nick… Great condition and awesome spec for its age, and for the money 👍

[@ColourWithChris]

I would be tempted to buy this for the purpose of using it as a mini cruise ship it certainly got the accommodations for it

[@nicbennett6554]

What a truly wonderful yacht. Superb in nearly every way, and a boat is happily spend a few months on. Great tour too Nick, thanks.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@Niallisababe1]

This rebuild is extraordinary. Not my cup of tea, but the elegance and beauty is quite refreshing

[@r.a.monigold9789]

After his unseemly issues with the Russian royal family, I'm glad he was able to partner up with Abeking to build these beautiful boats. Saying this is a yacht built for Royalty is not that far off the mark. It is a wonderment to think of this floating villa out at sea, wrapping its occupants in luxurious safety. Wonderful tour, Nick. Thanks for the walk through.

[@Brenhere08]

Beautiful the only thing about the older boats are the windows. Small portholes.

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Nice bright/light woodwork in this yacht! Makes it look open and larger!👍👍

[@bruschi8148]

So classic! Such a warm feel with the wood and the range is awesome.. Awesome

[@squishygothdude]

Lovely ship, definitely one of my favorites.

[@lubbymorolong7247]

What a classy beauty ❤

[@danielamazing3264]

Well the refit looks lovely. I like the idea of the extension to the cockpit really nice idea. Brilliant tour as always Nick thanks!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Great tour, Nick! Keep those cameras rolling! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching! 😃

[@ThoughtfulWander]

@@AQUAHOLIC 👍👍

[@michaelscott4766]

Yet another excellent tour of a superb yacht. It's fascinating to see you the refit has brought it bang up to date, speaking of bang up to date maybe it would be safer in these enlightened times to say 'if there's a couple running the boat' rather than a 'husband and wife'.

[@seanogden927]

That is one awesome yacht, so much space and a great layout, love the colours and finishes, you would never think that it was 38 years old. Great tour Nick thank you.

[@ItisFicus24]

Nick, you really need to do a separate stream for these classics...you do such a great job. Beautiful boat.

[@Erica_Brenda]

OMG That is beautiful!

[@davidlefeuvre8352]

I think this ticks all the boxes for ultimate sailing pleasure, it is just superb, love the private area up by the bow where i thought it was going to be the owners cabin, great tour Nick, i do really enjoy them, l can immerse myself and dream. 🤗🤗

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like them! 🙂

[@jimmyquinn9639]

Fantastic family yacht and another great video nick ⛵️🚤🛥👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you! 🙂

[@treywest268]

Even though I can't afford anything like this (unless I hit a huge lottery prize) I will say that this is one of the most beautiful and functional yachts that I have seen in Avery long time. The $6m is a steal for all that this M/V offers! Thank you Nick for another exceptionally well-done video!!!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind! 🙂

[@lashamartashvili]

This is, without exageration, the best yacht you have walked through at least since I started watching your channel about two years ago. The top position in my purchase list has been updated.

[@gbsailing9436]

OH WOW Nick, that was lovely!!! I'll take two (2), can they be shipped to me here in Australia? Awesome boat. Nice layout! Just fantastic!

[@irishterminator.]

Hey Nick another awesome yacht with the right mix of old and new and accommodation for all the cousins, hope you're enjoying your chocolate egg and have a great Easter Sunday bud 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks, you too! 😃

[@Kim_Jensen]

Wonderful, beautiful classic superyacht, I love it! Thank you for another classic tour 😃

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Sarrienne]

Good job on The Wave, Nick. Nicely integrated with the smooth-flowing tour! This is another that has quite a dated layout and decor that still works for the modern era. I have to say, though, my favourite cabin was the larger of the newly added aft ones. I like the expansion and there's a lot of space for crew to work, although the sheer size of the boat probably helps in that regard.

[@colingratwick9239]

Lovely yacht, great tour as usual, thanks Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@kjf63]

Beautiful! “based on previous experience…” 😂😂😂😂. (I have seen one of those expert and I laughed all day afterwards)

[@nickwatkins5321]

that's just pure class

[@stuartsutherland7664]

5000 miles is a lot of distance for one fill up! Lovely woodwork too.

[@kfeltenberger]

Gorgeous! This yacht has “it”…it’s like looking at you’re next home.

[@rasferrastfarian739]

Such quality - a real beauty. I really enjoyed the tour and the boat, thanks Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@patrickleone535]

She is a gorgeous "ship" and if I'm not mistaking, it once belonged to Merv Griffin ... Well done Nick! Knock 3 times ...

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Correct!

[@colingratwick9239]

Wow that is some boat. A classic with everything. Love it . Great tour Nick once again.

[@colingratwick9239]

Yes I had to look again.😂

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@jaimiemadden590]

5000 mile range in comfort and style, just love the woodwork it makes for a warm classical backdrop. Love the blend of nostalgia and modern upgrades they dovetail quite effortlessly Thank you for the tour Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like it!

[@rvail136]

Honeslty, I really like the "vintage yacht" look more than many modern vessels. It's rare that if I were wealthy enough to buy, if I could buy this one I'd not change anything.

[@FLGurl]

Thank you! Now I know which vessel you, Marianne and Bob Dennison filmed on. I really do like this very well laid out deck plans spaces. Very much home away from stuff. Well designed, family friendly and perfectly spacious for all the passengers, bits and bobs! Cheers! 🍷

[@kevinfoster6383]

Fantastic boat, I love what they did with the rebuild. Thank you for another great video sir!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@mattwolters7030]

Stunning is the word that keeps coming to mind.

[@loki7441]

Happy Easter Nick, and thank you for the nautical Easter egg.🐣 If you had for some reason found something amiss, I would have asked to have you Keel Hauled! Its got to be your find of the century. Its a nod to the old age of sea travel such as the décor found on the Queen Mary, Elizabeth, Normandie and the France. And the new QM2 is not to be left out either, I have been very lucky to travel on it twice. The forward "Den" is just excellent. A remodeling of your living room at the big picture window perhaps? Infact I could happily live on the boat/ship if were dropped into my garden. I live a half mile from the sea so the Boston Whaler would need to come back.😄 The craftmanship to achieve the quality of woodwork is a pleasure to see. As for the carpet in the engine room!! And with all your years experience in selling boats and journalism , if you say its a water maker I'll take your word for it. Wonderful keep 'em coming

[@billylallen2662]

What an incredible boat, thank you for showing us this amazing boat.

That’s one of my new favourites, I hope it still for sale when I win the lottery next week.

[@joncrypto914]

This really is an impressive yacht. Classical style with so many unique touches, especially the lounge/office in the front of the boat. Really nice space and the boat seems so much larger than its specs. Only concern would be ride comfort and annual running costs with it being much older.
