Well I am shocked!! This is Aquaholic for gods sake!! Do they not clear the decks for the best showroom in the buisness?

If you've heard, the people on the boat, other than Nick, are french, and french are not known for their manners, but arrogance and snottiness 😎

Spell check anybody?

[@MoultrieGeek]

Nick this is the first catamaran you have shown that really knocks my socks off. I love that it is purpose built as a motor yacht and not a conversion. My experience with sailing cats is they are a handful to maneuver in tight quarters and my marina charges a fortune for extra-wide slips. The narrower hull solves that problem quite nicely and still allows for the massive living space. The one thing I did notice was the fit, finish and woodwork isn't up to Princess standards but I'm sure Prestige can upgrade it. Lovely tour as always Nick.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

What a difference a clean sheet of paper makes. Everything is purpose built for a powered catamaran. And a fine layout it is at a mere FORTY EIGHT FEET! Clean design. Well appointed. Everything to hand. Thanks Prestige and you as well, Nick. Ahoy

[@k9killer221]

Yes. If you package the boat taking full advantage of the extra width, you can really get a lot in, and you've got all the extra deck space with a cat too.

[@kieranharriman7055]

Really like that one. Not too wide. Just right. Acres of space. I can imagine being aboard is very chilled and relaxed. Nicely fitted out. I agree with some others on here. Do they not know who you are? They dawdle about whilst you have important work to do. Peasants !! Great tour Nick.

[@TexanUSMC8089]

LOL Well said.

[@thanksfernuthin]

After looking at so many multimillion dollar/euro/pound boats... this one gives you A LOT of boat for the price. I love it. I figured it would crawl along but 20kts isn't bad at all!

[@k9killer221]

Love all that deck space.

[@thanksfernuthin]

@@k9killer221 Ohhh yeah. I love looking at these and wondering what they'll cost in 10 years. When they're 10 million... forget about it!

[@TheRealJPAdventures]

Good job Nick! It’s too bad they could not have cleared the area for you but you adapted and overcame the challenges;-)

[@pjmorgan]

I loved the way you just waited patiently while those two guys walked over and stood on top of the engine cover 😂 fairly typical show stuff it seems.

[@origin178]

And they seemed to do it almost deliberately? And hey, Hugo from that other boating channel, show some respect and don't get in the way when the Master is onboard!

[@bezington52]

What an incredible use of space, Prestige have been super clever with their layouts and space optimisation! Great video Nick as always - thank you 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@irishterminator.]

Hey Nick what a breath of fresh air and thinking that Prestige have put into the design of this yacht instead of narrow walkways and barley enough room to change your mind, what they have done is given oodles of storage space a light and elegant home on the water. Awesome tour as usual and have a great day bud 👍

[@FuglyLookingGuy]

Nick, from the interior layout on Prestige's website, it has a single birth crew quarters in the bow on port, with a head / sink / shower (?) on starboard. You can see the two glass hatches @ 1:34 I know from you said there wasn't one @6:57, but the layout diagrams say otherwise.

[@WOW-li4uj]

Really like the 3 distinct cabins! Gives everyone a little more privacy and separation. Always a huge amount of space on the main deck salon. Very nice boat! Next time use the ladder sir, it’s for your safety! Just kidding, you do what you have to do to get the shot! Thank you.

[@FLGurl]

One can always tell how well the production is by the sheer volume of attention that it is getting. And this one is getting a load of attention. Brilliant as always! Thank you Nick!.

[@maryholder3795]

Like this boat. It's a real exercise in how to use every inch of the hulls. Lots of storage nice heads, and good size cabins. Like the front seating area with lots of room for people to spread out. Like this loads

[@bobuncle8704]

I do like this cat. Power is the way I’d go as with my disability, sailing would be a bit of a reach. Thank you Nick for another great review.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@seanogden927]

That's a lovely spacious yacht, great layout and finishes. Love the view from the upper helm. Great tour as always Nick. Thankyou

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@marchport]

I love how large it feels at each turn. Beautiful. Thank you, Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like it!

[@geargunsandsurvival]

According to the layout on the website, there is a crew cabin and head on the front of the boat. I imagine it would be tiny, but you could use it for storage.

[@debbiejudd4933]

That's an impressive design. I like the master cabin with them separate facilities. Gray way to live. Thank you Nick..

There's non as Noble as you Sir, I have been learning on your Videos for about 2 years and not one time have I ever heard you get upset with anyone, Thar was nice of you Sir to respond, I was having a difficult day and you made me feel encouraged by your comment, May the Lord Bless always Sir.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind, thank you 🙂

[@mrmatko7243]

That will be my boat! I should be able to afford a used one in about 20 years when I'm 80. Until then I can imagine myself on the water by watching these fantastic videos 😄

[@g9rud]

Love the layout, the owners cabin is awesome. You would have thought that knowing they had journalistic royalty reviewing their boat you would have had the red carpet treatment. I will drop them a line for you Nick

[@BIGGELATO]

I see Nick, I click, I hit like, then I watch the video 🙏

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you! 🙂

[@danielamazing3264]

This tour takes me back 2 or 3 + years when boats were full, and it was brilliant entertainment trying to guess which area you would go to next! Great tour even with more people on, and I am a fan of a purpose built motor catamaran as I’ve never seen one before. Thanks Nick! 😀

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@birkoishere]

Great video. Despite the boat being open to the public you still managed to give a great tour. If that boat was mine I would sleep in one of the guest cabine while at sea / anchor. Sitting up in bed with those views at eye level must be fantastic. Windows in owner's cabin are too high. Would be another story if you are in the marina and berthed next to other yachts

[@dimav975]

I was thinking the same,- very small windows in mastercabin

[@davetrythall9228]

Dang it Nick just when I thought I'd finally decided what boat I want you go and bring this beauty along. Absolutely brilliant all round boat. From stability to roominess to accomodation it seems to have the lot. Another great tour old chap so well done once again 👍

[@r.a.monigold9789]

I'm IMPRESSED with this boat. I'm Obsessed with this boat. I'm addicted to this boat. I will have one of these boats - (as a beautiful, professionally framed eight by ten picture on my wall) I swear!

[@bigdogoutdoors4985]

The struggles of a KZbin videographer are most entertaining! Like this one! Thanks

[@KMCA779]

That is the narrowest catamaran I've ever seen. the main deck feels like a big monohull... I have to say, I REALLY like it, it feels like a perfect mix of the 2. I do wonder how it performs in rougher seas, how much does the narrower beam affect the rolling? I'd guess better than a monohull but is it still as good as the more standard cats?

[@nickwatkins5321]

Always difficult when there’s so many people milling around, but, as always, you’ve done a good job. Interesting boat, though not as wide as I expected, it’s very roomy for its length. Decent layout, reasonable speed and range. Overall a nice, functional boat

[@tacodias]

Hi Hugo! Can’t wait to see Nick in MBYs video

Despite being a bit busy with some French people it was still an interesting tour of a beautiful catamaran from Prestige and 3 huge cabins which made the boat seem a lot bigger than it is nick.

it's really unfortunate that some boat tours don't afford you the brief time to do a walkthrough unhindered -- those are the best. when there's people constantly in the way or walking about, it's not nearly the same and the content unfortunately suffers for it.

Very very Nice. Catamarans are very intriguing and this build looks very very well thought out.

[@brianmiller6443]

They definitely hit the mark with this one! The cabins are amazing for a cat this size! The lift is a smart idea I've only seen that done on one before this one! I'm surprised mono hauls don't do it! It still keeps the center of gravity down and helps keep it out of the sea. Great tour Nick! Do they have plans for a 60ft

[@timwesterman9428]

That is the best cat I've seen. Great usable hulls.

[@mader348]

[@Kim_Jensen]

Lovely boat for people that are not in a hurry. Great and very well enginered layout. More and more I think Smugles Blues III will be a boat with a flybridge. Nick likes this boat, but I wonder if Marianne can live a boat the can't offer her 30 knots. 😂 Great tour, thanks.

[@metnadev001]

Tell you what....this with a hybrid system is getting pretty close to the perfect vessel ....thanks Nick.

[@stippolyte]

Just what I was thinking. like Silents cover the fly hard top in solar panels to run domestics/topup batteries.

[@metnadev001]

It's the layout as well...as good as big cats are,I find the living area quite 'clinical'....this is just like a wider monohull.....really nice ..

[@TheMangohammer]

That rear lift is great I know someone who has been looking for exactly something like this for wheelchair access

[@susansinclair4914]

Great design and with beautifully finished bathrooms.

[@gregmcmullen6698]

What a terrific looking Prestige ! Some solar would have been nice to see on this, but... This could be a perfect live aboard. Always wanted a sailing fp around 48, but this Prestige is a game changer. Who wants to rely on the wind anyway?

Very nice boat and video as always!

[@marks9772]

It's a lot of boat for the price, but you can also see a lot of compromises. The cabins lacked decent hanging lockers, and storage wasn't convenient.

And here was I jumping on to say “Nick you’ve put the wrong thumbnail on the video” 😂 I had heard of the new m48 in name but had no idea it was a cat

[@andyraven9855]

Well Nick it's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 but for a sub 50ft I like it,I like it a lot. I actually really like the splitting up of the heads and shower in the master cabin,motored cats are growing on me ever since you showed the Silent cats(love the 60). Shame about the crowd onboard so you were unable to go into your normal detail but you did a Grand job sir. Seeing you at a boat show I hope this means we'll be getting a super yacht or two soon, I'm getting withdrawal symptoms ☹️ but still love Aquaholics 🤗

I love this boat, this is really a perfect boat. I would like to know is there a possibility to put a pasarel on the stern? The only thing I can not understand is, why the seats on the fly are not close on the bottom, so that you can storage your covers and everything you need. Waste space in my opinion!

Good space and a cost effective mooring proposition, not being overly wide with it…… pity you had to scrum with the riffraff (apologies Hugo 🙂)……. Be interesting to see a sea trial in a bit of chop…… I’m more into the displacement cruising speed, but I wonder how dynamic that hull will be…… it suggests the centre is fairly filled in judging by the master cabin ?? 😎🇬🇧

[@commonsenseprevails]

Does anyone else think that manufacturers should let Aquaholic do i video tour alone. After all, more people will see this boat here than at the show. Most folk at shows are just dreamers anyway. Give the man 10 mins alone.

[@nicbennett6554]

That’s a really interesting alternative to mono hulls. If you don’t need to go above 16knots then it appears like a superb choice. The space was very impressive for ’just’ 48’ and unlike a mono fly bridge it didn’t look too tall. Plus the hulls seemed wider than a typical cat giving more space in the bedrooms? Curious to know how it would handle some less than ideal seas?? Sea trial needed Mr B……

Nice that it's not a converted sailing boat. I do like catamarans - no need for stabilizers! But how does that front cabin work? It seems just a few steps higher than the hulls...

[@ergunhalil3485]

Wow! And at a reasonable price, all the cabins with lots of space, a nice med cruiser, is it possible to put more fridge/freezers in for long cruise’s also didn’t mention if it had water makers/ Aircon as I didn’t see any of the machinery, maybe with more time we could have seen the other engine room which might have them in? But over all very very nice boat.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

This one had air con, it's normally an option. Water makers are very rare at this size but I'd have thought it would be possible.

[@darthkek1953]

@@AQUAHOLIC water-makers are definitely possible at pretty much ANY size of boat. Have a look at SeaWater Pro, they make them for miniscule dayboats / weekenders. Heck, they also make a _portable_ one that's about the size of a small fishing tackle box. As you say they're rare at this size of boat because they have large tanks and people tend to port hop, but if you like to anchor & shower a lot then they're an easy install. And lets face it - tons of room on this vessel for it!!!!

[@petergibbs]

AT LAST someone has designed a Cat with cabins that don't look as if they are in a corridor because of the narrow hulls meaning you have to crawl up the bed to go to sleep. But I still do not like the square saloon area where you get the galley, helm, sofa/dinning area, plus the stairs down to the cabins all in one space. On a single hull boat I know it is still one open space, but the saloon, galley and helm do all seem to have their own separate areas.

[@jaimiemadden590]

Prestige has created really functional Cat, I’m sure this design will be copied by others Large bedrooms say it all ! Thank you Nick
