When you have had a horrible day and the world appears to be falling apart, you can always rely on Nick for a great calming video! Thanks Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome 🙂

[@DrCrabfingers]

That is so true Robin.

[@kfeltenberger]

Nick is the Bob Ross of yacht videos!

[@itsallgonemad]

That’s a cracking boat Nick, just goes to show what can be done with a slightly older boat. Impressed with those huge side decks & massive foredeck too! Can’t really fault this one, impressive!!! 😃👍🏻

[@g9rud]

That is absolutely lovely, who wouldn’t be proud to own a boat like that, a boat that’s been refurbished to that high standard offers a lot for your money. Someone is going to snap that up for sure. Nice tour Nick

[@Pacorcrull]

I have been watching boat tours on KZbin for quite a while, and I have to say that your manner of describing their features and accommodations is by far the best. Cheers!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind 🙂

[@Pacorcrull]

Well deserved.

[@ColinHarvey78]

I agree!

[@jameschaves5723]

He’s a LEGEND!!!

[@bobuncle8704]

I can tell an older boat had been taken care of by when you lift the outside hatches and everything is clean underneath. She’s a nice looking boat. I’d be right proud to call her mine

[@Reznor_Meeks]

One of the best value, features, options, style, beauty for money of 2022 so far I’m so impressed with this beauty Nick

[@NotJanine777]

Cracking boat - that’s got Smugglers Blues 3 written all over it. 👍😊

[@bigcity2085]

That's what I was thinking...but we all think that a lot.

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Too old for Nick, not enough space and too slow. Other than that, cracking boat.

[@762223100]

That is one hell of a nice boat, someone has done an excellent refurb job there. The initial thought in first few frames was "Ferrari of the Seas", it just has that look. Love the black instrument cluster design too. The upper saloon is lovely but not in your face like some are. Very practical by look of it. Love it. Thanks for yet another excellent choice Nick.

[@darthkek1953]

Beneteau? Fiat of the seas. :-)

[@Aran2323]

I LOVE this boat. Absolutely gorgeous with way more space below deck than you'd ever expect.

[@Ognir1962]

Great looking boat and well taken care of, the engines look fantastic. A very well built Beneteau compared to what they are pushing out today. I’d take this one in a heartbeat instead of a comparable new one. Thanks as always for sharing Nick.

[@cme4brain11]

Hello from across the pond. You always have the best boat reviews.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Hey, thanks!

[@johnhunter5890]

Another wonderful tour, Nick. This is a very nice boat. Two heads, you wouldn't think that there was enough room. I really liked the main deck. Lots of social area and a wonderful makeover. Thanks as always. Cheers

[@gilbert__lee]

really elegant and standard of all small cruise boat

[@eyesofisabelofficial]

Biggest wipers on a ship are on the Flyco (Control tower) of the new QE class carriers. the blades are nearly 14 ft.

[@jeremyevans9521]

I think this might be my favorite of the smaller boats that you have showed us, she looks fantastic! I love that you can close the galley off and the interior color of the new leather seats looks beautiful. I also like the size of the shower in the master cabin heads. Some showers on other boats look so small in comparison. Thanks for showing us this really nice looking boat!

[@blest5132]

This is stunning! absolutely gorgeous inside & out, large cockpit, sun pads, the hidden galley, the sunroof! 2 great cabins w/heads. this has everything one needs. I love all the blue glass, the windows, saloon door, the sinks & shower door. thanks for sharing this nick, cheers!

[@easybigun7825]

That is a lovely boat. It's obviously been well cared for and the price seems reasonable for it's condition and amenities. Thank you for the tour.

[@jenspetersimonsen4235]

When you take into the equation that this is a Beneteau, it's still quite a lot of bang for your buck - and she looks very well taken care of (condition of bolts and nuts in exposed places always tell their stories). TY 4 letting us in on this little gem, Nick :-)

[@user-wu5kl8ty1h]

Just popped up, a relly attractive Friends & Family outings boat. Lovely to see.

[@CMenzy]

I think when ever I manage to save enough this would be my first boat and what a great first boat it would be

[@waynechristy2192]

That is a beaut one of nicest i’ve seen on YT for a while

[@kieranharriman7055]

You really are getting a lot of boat for your money on this one. Really well looked after and the new leather upholstery is great. Would love to own a boat like this. Perfect.

[@claudiusagir4553]

Nick you did again and as usual a great presentation of this beauty. I noticed that I watched way to many Aquaholic videos recently...Never was into yachting before, but you created really a desire for boating. Now Iam already actively searching and love that you continually showcasting affordable boats which matches my needs perfectly :) Big thanks :)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Awesome, good luck! 😃

[@normbond8888]

Perhaps you have found your new boat Nick. Very clean, well taken care of, & just for you & MA to go cruising on. Well done on this review.

[@fatchad420]

Loving these affordable boats you've been posting recently.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like them!

[@electricaviationchannelvid7863]

@@AQUAHOLIC Does a yacht have a VIN number? How do you register it? Fees and tax on it? Do you need a license to get insurance like on an aircraft?

[@JamieBulloch1]

someone loved that boat, so clean and cared for, that's obvious, smashing example, wish i had the dosh just now...., thanks Nick as always...

[@trafficsnitch3505]

What a beautiful and well laid out yacht

[@davisbdr]

Of all the videos you've posted, this boat might be (in my opinion) the best value for the money. Your really get a lot of bang for the buck. Well done as usual Nick. Keep up the great work!

[@bobt3374]

Now that is a realy nice boat & looking good with the upgrades of upholstery & external covers someone cares.

[@seanogden927]

A very nice yacht, clean and elegant lines with nice finishes, amazing heads so much room. Lovely tour as always Nick thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@5amH45lam]

The teak-trimmed bulwark and side-decks in such great condition still is probably a good indication that the rest of the boat has been well maintained, in a top condition. And it looks a lot of boat for the money. Great tour, as ever, thanks Nick! 👍😎👌

[@johningham4942]

What lovely clean looking boat nick, those engine's look brand new, even though it's a 2008 boat. Another interesting tour nick very impressive.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Many thanks!

[@blewyd]

This is beneteaus best looking boat imo. The hull color and teak looks amazing.

[@Xlay16]

Amazing boat for the price, thanks for showing us Nick

[@MrPeteJMc]

Lovely boat Nick, and well looked after. Thank you for the tour.

[@bradleybolton3843]

Nice little boat Nick. Great video

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks 👍

[@paulvanallen-lononca]

Great sizes and a bonus video on a Tuesday! Thanks

[@r.a.monigold9789]

The focus on this boat is design. It is reminiscent of a Healy 3000 with curves made for esthetics as much as speed. Leather upholstery. Shiny wood finishes and clock works gauges that enhance the electronic "dash". Beauty, thy name is "Flyer" and your legacy is Beneteau - I've just FALLEN for a boat - again.

[@MojoRevelation]

Best boat I've seen in that price range.

[@gloriousradio]

That's a gorgeous boat, with a load of space for the length! Perfect, great tour Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

And thank you Nick for this nice show of the Beneteau Flyer 12 that a a nice one on this Tuesday the gally in the salon a good idear a boat nice for a holiday or a long weekend I now most people like the big boat but I am a big fan of those smaller ones Thanks again Nick I can hardly wait what you bring us the rest of this week

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@davidsmall7676]

Nick, that’s a nice one! Could imagine some enjoyable getaways aboard. Thanks

[@robertfrost1683]

That’s really clean and well kept up .

[@TexanUSMC8089]

Perfect size galley, and great cabins. She's a beauty.

[@ATH_Berkshire]

As a day and occasional overnighter which is what this boat will be for most owners this layout works. But as a cruiser the galley is poor. Anyone looking to spend time on the boat away from nightly stops on port would probably want to sacrifice one of the bathrooms and a bit of cabin space for a good practical galley.

[@nickvasey915]

Nice work, Nick.

[@Mc674bo]

Hi Nick. Nice is exactly the right word , and it look immaculate with what seems very little use . And the age mean nothing except to make it so much more affordable . Great stuff. Best wishes as always 👍😀

[@alanpaton694]

I don’t fancy cooking a fry up on that high polished galley. A very nice boat, unbelievable condition. Yes, I’d definitely have this one!

[@fredericolima9710]

Very good option for Smugllers 3, excellent walk through as usual.. best regards from Portugal

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Many thanks!

[@nickbattistelli3023]

Great tour as always Nick. Engine room seems a little tight but understood. Your editing is slick very little continuity issues. Would love to see a gag/blooper reel if there is such a thing of video edits from over the years!

[@ColinHarvey78]

This is a lovely, attractive, beautifully proportioned and finished boat. Really lovely. Thanks for bringing it to us.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@spencerchase6069]

Hi Nick, great tour as always. Was quite interested in this one so went to approved boats website only to find it isn't there. Crazy!

[@brettsawyer1527]

Filmed a few months ago. Have a Targa 38 currently that might suit?

[@rolog9023]

This boat would be a great upgrade to your boat. It would remain French and you would keep the "eau" at the end. 😀

[@nickbitten9910]

Fair play- that looks a nice boat. Great tour.

[@laneschmidt3029]

Nice Cruiser, and as usual fine presentation.

[@Tethmes]

I've come to the conclusion that there's not a single beneteau boat that i don't like. Another great tour!

[@MrJeffqv]

Awesome looking boat, one for the list!

[@futte2303]

Great video Nick. Good looking boat and the updates are just perfect.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks 👍

[@coalitionperformance5901]

I’m going to say it- outsider for SB3. The way you talked about that flared bow said it all (they were lovely!). Would not look out of place on the Darty with a vodka and orange

[@pierce873]

You should come over to America and see some of the yachts on the big lakes and rivers

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Hoping to again soon

[@pierce873]

@@AQUAHOLIC I recommend seeing the Tennessee river system they have some huge yachts that I’ve seen

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks, will do!

Very nice 😀 Like these smaller boats like Beneteau and Jeanneau

Looks like a great candidate for Smugglers Blues III

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. . . Wish i had those on my boat, princess 40 wish my boat was that big, maybe this year eh. This is a lovely boat for 2008. Wide beam and stunning lines. The flare at the bow gives good deck space above. Great walkthrough video thanks 😊

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Nice boat there! Price is pretty sweet too for what you get! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍👊👊

[@tinyshedcrafts3974]

Listed as a "New Arrival" on the website but also as "Sale Pending" No surprise there Nick, beautiful boat for the money.

just been looking at pictures of the Pearl 62 and 94. WOW what beautiful boats and love you to do an onboard review in the near future if poss.

That’s a lovely boat, and, as you say, such beautiful lines. So well appointed, if I needed a ‘proper’ 2 berth boat, I’d def consider. Our long awaited, Parker 850 which we ordered from Boat’s Dan Chaffe at last year’s Southampton Boat Show, arrives with us in Poole on Thursday 17th 🎉🎉🎉 Can’t wait! Welcome to take a peek if you’d like. Great videos as always. Thoroughly enjoyable. 👍

I know this is partly about selling the boats but the odd not-so-good comment would be welcome!

[@davidodonovan1699]

That is an absolutely fantastic budget boat. Two nice heads, a full standing shower and a really impressive standard for a budget boat, living room area. I wonder how well the engines and other mechanical and electronical engineering systems on the boat?

[@allsearpw3829]

Hi, a nice compact 12 well thought out layout , 2x300 I would have thought 35 knots, as the 4,s are much lighter than the older 6 cylinders . Thank you for the walk round Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Very oddly, they're not! I thought the same, but when I was buying Smugglers, I compared the weight of the D4-260 with the old KAD 42 (4 cyl and 6 cyl as you correctly say) and was amazed to discover the D4 is heavier!

[@justinPirelli4062]

Come on Nick buy it! Smugglers Blues 3 😎🍻
