SAME!!! Not sure why I can’t stop watching these 😂. Nick’s tours can not be beat!!!

[@OrangeAgent5]

You had me at "owner operated...no crew on this one", which is the perfect statement, to own a ship like that. And what a serious one this is. WOW! Literally everything backed up and the solution with the other generator behind a second door to keep it quiet is just very clever and well designed. On other vidoes, we´ve seen two more cabins at the space, the whole machinery is sitting in. What a vessel! Thanks indeed to the owners (and Nordhavn), to share it with the channel and as always thanks to you Nick.

[@just42tube]

I think they don't have double hull, am I mistaken?

[@OrangeAgent5]

@@just42tube oh…correct. You‘re right about that. No backup there.

[@just42tube]

@@OrangeAgent5 It is expensive, too expensive for me, already. Giving it double hull and perhaps building it for ice categories would make it hugely more expensive.

They only have one anchor which is a risk, a very slight one but still a risk.

I've seen a few Nordhavn walk-throughs & it just never gets old. I know nothing about boats but this is my Lotto dream, a Nordhavn 60 to 75 foot and I'll put a webcam up the mast just to show off. By the way, I don't think Nick needed a brief on this boat as he has done quite a few Nordhavn, he knows them well. Thanks, Nick & the owner.

[@678tucker]

You and me both, just watched the walk through - saw your comment! Maybe we should by LOTTO tickets together..

[@tetrisgoat]

Oooh, more Nordhavn. Thank you so much, Nick! Will be looking forward to watching this tonight. Your walkthroughs of Nordhavn boats are definitely the ones I keep coming back to most often. They are marvelous.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@TheMVCoho]

Same here, you can't watch Aquaholic touring a Nordhavn just once.

[@Tnapvrvideo]

I have watched a LOT of yacht videos of many brands, and I feel that this is the finest boat I have ever seen on video. Bar none! The owner's informed decisions based on untold years of Nordhavn experience and boating experience have resulted in a finalized build that, to me, is flawless. Absolutely perfect in every possible way. I usually find myself thinking that I would do this or that differently when viewing boat layouts. There isn't a thing that I would change on this build. Amazing! Thank you owners and AQUAHOLIC for this wonderful share! Safe Journeys!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@Tnapvrvideo]

My wife and I enjoy all of your videos. Your attention to details, your understanding of natural people flow in a space dictating placement of controls, windows, etc. is always spot on, and your appreciation for exactness in the build execution and high quality materials being used is a very much welcomed aspect of your in-depth coverage of these boats. Beautifully Done! Very Much Appreciated given the time and effort that you are putting forth to offer these highly polished video presentations.

[@Tnapvrvideo]

At 24:25 you visit the VIP Guest Cabin. Might you know the floor to ceiling height in that room?

[@ironKurgan]

Look at the Jay Benford, "Teddy Bear". Its an owner captained yacht the likes of which I have never seen.

[@magnificentmuttley2084]

As a retired engineer (not marine) I find the attention to detail in the design of this amazing vessel perfectly ‘workable’ for owner/operator sailing. This is a vessel for travelling with. Brilliantly detailed tour. Thank you for posting.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

[@devdevc3]

a 40min video on a lovely Nordhavn, what a treat

[@tomaszhoekstra7357]

such a fantastic vessel! I do not have the same excitement for the 'normal' yachts that focus on entertaining. a go anywhere boat is absolutely a breath of fresh air.

[@constantineding8700]

I‘ve been looking forward to see a walkthrough on this one and only non-flybridge N68 in the world. As it was mentioned in a Nordhavn webinar, the owner even paid extra money to eliminate the flybridge to make the boat 100% suitable for his own use. To lower the profile definately helps a lot to improve the stability in heavy seas. After watching the walkthrough, now I even admire the owner more. There are numerous small changes throughout the boat which epitomize the owner's remarkable understanding of long-distance exploring yachts. He's not just a great voyager but also a magnificent yacht designer. Also, great thanks to Nick for spending the time and effort to show us all the fantastic details which reflect the perfection of this wonderful wonderful boat.

[@MrCobb-rq8iv]

I would eliminate that wasted big saloon and choose the safety of both walk arounds and even yet more center of gravity. Why do you need a wide saloon for two? Not me.

[@constantineding8700]

Before having watched this the Fleming 65 was my favourite boat. I may have to reconsider.

[@bobajob1524]

It took 40 minutes, but you finally said “Classic Nordhavn”. Made the entire video for me. I do believe you are more excited in the engineering spaces than the public areas. There is more excitement in your explanation of all the equipment. Well done sir, a great tour of a classic Nordhavn little ship.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

[@jwhitaker1507]

Who wouldn’t want a Nordhavn, looks like a gentleman’s proper ship. Extraordinary finishes!

[@1eartboundjedi582]

This is the nicest Nordhavn that I have seen. They put a lot of thought into this vessels expected mission, engineering and autonomous redundancy. The interior was nice and functional, avoiding the designer polished "super yacht" look. Well done.

[@renodowns5256]

You nailed it I too don’t like the Super yacht look and Nordhavn has the best wheel houses in the industry

[@Tnapvrvideo]

These owners have drawn upon untold years of on-the-water boating experience to assemble a magnificent ship for their future enjoyment. Informed decision making is always quite obvious. It's a beautiful boat.

[@colinritchie1510]

A proper boat, and perfect for the Scottish West Coast. Back-up with back-up and truly independent...not as glossy as some, and that's a good thing! Live on this, and you are living the dream, every day, in any weather. The attention to detail, access to the systems, redundancy and pure quality...all shine through. If I could build a boat, this is the one I would build, but frankly, I'd just buy this!

[@raphaelbeaulieu2434]

I see Nordhavn, I press like button ! Thanks Nick for these amazing tour !

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@joshwilson4168]

Honestly this is the best engineered yacht I've ever seen. On top of that the quality of living spaces really does make it a dream for owner/ operators. Nordhavn and the owner hit the mark with this boat. The only thing I would change is the engines to Cat but thats just personal preference. Fantastic tour. Thank you for showing this.

[@fridtjofkoster3712]

I know right? It is the best yacht that i have ever seen, they did the pilot house and the interior perfect 👍

[@TheSirUno]

Engine choice is an option too. A few of these have Scanias, per owner request. Cats are nice, but their heat rejection isn't so good, hence why they haven't been too popular a choice for Nordhavns.

[@Ulbre]

I think i'd keep those engines. If you look across the whole range of Nordhavn boats, they use so many different engines. I am sure they have got where they are by knowing what is the best fit for whatever particular boat. Just my opinion, yours is also a good one :)

[@howardwilson3821]

i would add an engine to make it twin cats at best don't like the one engine idea

[@anthonybasiliere9366]

@@howardwilson3821 these luggers are so incredibly durable and the fuel polishing system is so sophisticated that you don’t need the redundancy of another 400 hp engine. Doubling the horse power on a displacement hull won’t really add performance either.

[@peterchowne7141]

Absolutely magnificent. Definitely need a “meet the owner” on this one. Serious thinking for serious exploring here. And a proper technical tour. Thank you. Brilliant 💫

[@BuckTravis]

Lovely boat. Terrific interiors. There is a catch. The davit and tender is mounted on the bow. Once the tender is brought over the bow someone must descend a ladder to board and bring to the stern. It is a two person job at best and in weather it doesn’t look very safe. I have a Fleming 65 and the davit drops the tender off the starboard side. Single handing is a breeze. Again, a great boat.

[@TrogART]

Love the layout on this Nordhavn one of my favourites for the 68 so far. Really like the pilot house. Aesthetically nicer without the flybridge and more practical in my opinion.

[@comeon651]

This was a really impressing video. Love how the way they have made it as a real ship with all safety and redundancy but still wonderful interior. Absolutely my favourite.

[@Nathan-ud6gk]

i saw this exact yacht in craobh harbour, scotland. it’s a beauty!

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

What an incredible little ship. She is stunning. Such a great layout allowing easy traversal of the ship. Only having one side deck certainly does increase the room you have inside. The wheel house is amazing and a great place for all to sit and chat with the operator. The amount of planning between the owner and Nordhavn is staggering. Accommodating every specification like they have. That gives the feeling more so its your ship, rather than just buying one already done. I would be more than happy to pay out the money to own her. The engine room is a feat of engineering. To have everything get at able and the amount of backups just incredible . Nick this has been an absolute pleasure to accompany you on this tour. Thank you so much for showing us around

[@AQUAHOLIC]

[@CoffeeAndPaul]

The ability to swap engines without cutting the hull is... it's ridiculous, how easy this company makes maintenance & troubleshooting for operators.

[@Opaulo888]

What a beautiful yacht you have. Everything is ultra modern. The engine room imprest me a lot. I worked in a canadian ship yard as a shipwright and seen engine rooms, and none were as impressive as this one. Again, beautiful small ship.

No fly bridge brings the lines of this little ship to the fore, the large problem to the eyes of most Nordhavn s is they look top heavy , this craft just made it look right with the benifit of being more stable & less windage . Nick I hope one day you sit down for an interview with the owner , that would be a very interesting blog, Good inspection / Tour Sir ! thank you.

[@bmac707]

Living in the West of Scotland I have often wondered what a boat that can handle all Scottish waters and weather would look like especially one that could be out for weeks or months and here it is it’s fantastic. It would be amazing if the owners could do a monthly or 3 monthly vlog on its travels in all weathers.

The length of the video was just right, this boat really deserved it! I would love to see more of these longer tours!

[@musicianshotsheet4806]

That is possibly the best bridge setup I've seen on boats this size. It's got the perfect balance of owner operator/hired helmsman qualities. In eliminating the crew cabin, yet still retaining the ability to sleep up there, not have to hit the stairs to go to the bathroom, etc, it's the perfect setup for when you might want to hire a helmsman and focus on entertaining. In O/O mode, it's a place for the owner to get away from it all, and entertain VIP guests. The captains' lounge, as it were.

[@MrPeteJMc]

Superb! Owner operated, need to have a degree in engineering. Was thinking that the owners manual must be large. Love these traditional little ships. Thanks Nick, a great video for a Sunday.

What an amazing tour...as a Kadey Krogen enthusiast I can say that there are so many similarities between the two manufacturers...and I know how much both manufacturers respect each other. I still can't be moved from the Kadey Krogen 52....in terms of homeliness and beauty. I was once a Nordhavn fan...but I have moved to Kadey Krogen....after 20 years of research....but both manufacturers are just awesome. They are the go to manufacturers for anyone interested in live aboard exploration. As you say Nick this boat is the expression of the owner...no flybridge...and the interior reflects the owner's taste. For me a flybridge is an absolute priority...the tender sitting on the owner's cabin was also odd I thought...but wow...what a fantastic yacht. This owner is a lucky couple indeed!! The engine room looks like something from the ISS. Every buyer of these yachts gets the boat they want....we can only salute their good fortune and wish them many years happy cruising. Superb vessel.

The old adage comes to mind with this yacht. That being, "You get what you pay for.". I know that (except winning a rather large lottery) I will never be able to afford a vessel like this. However, due to the quality of the work, the design, and that engine room, the multiple systems of safety backups built in, this vessel is worth every penny of the selling price. What a great cabin top to add solar panels to, plus that lazerette has enough room for another rather large chest freezer! This one is truly magnificent! Congratulations to the new owners!

[@AaronTheHumanist]

FANTASTIC! 👌 what a craft, my goodness, but MORE importantly, the only thing more impressive than this boat is You Nick. My goodness. There's no quick tour beforehand and you remembered everything you were told... you must have read, and more importantly, absorbed, a thousand page manual to deliver such detailed knowledge on everything! THIS is what makes your channel; your indepth knowledge and true fan enthusiasm in your delivery. If you haven't sold ten of these by the end of the day then it's humanly impossible. But enough of you, this little ship! The triple redundancies, the detail, the bridge layout, and that galley! A lot of own operaor sized boats really fall down in the kitchen zone, they're clearly designed with light meals factored in. Workspace is often short and plating up six meals requires tetris level skills, but this ship has a fantastic galley, space to spare, love it! I'm 'not' a fan of the teak/wood, but hey that's personal taste and very changeable. Sunseeker is where my heart lies, but the areas sunseeker falls down on, this craft covers several times over!

i am astonished that a couple will operate this size of vessel without crew. decades ago i was seriously looking at a nordhavn 46 in Seattle, their only model in a long range passage maker, it was so long ago they sent me home with a vhs of her in 20 foot seas. a very unique boat at the time. the dry stack exhaust and keel cooling is extraordinary allowing no sea water and extending the life of yours engines thousands of hours without problems. i ended up purchasing a kady krogen 42 and was very happy with her from baja to inside passage. this boat is in a whole different league.

Stunning , just stunning. Perhaps the owner had a connection to John Deere? If the owner specked out this beauty I would also say the owner had strong engineering background and a good amount of boating experience to be able to think of and plan all the features. Engineering, layout and build leaves no in awe! Great video Nick. You really captured the essence and beauty of this fine fine yacht.

Beautiful yacht. I'm still not a fan of all the wood. I would still love to spend a week on her. Thank you Nick.

Nordhaven ain't no joke proper ship, right there!

40 minutes of Nordhavn bliss - you're getting closer to James Knight territory now :D Wonderful. Please keep them coming. I cross my fingers the owners of this beauty will agree for a "meet the owner" video. I assume this is 6839 that has arrived in the UK 10 month ago - is it normal to take so long for the commissioning? Or was the video shot a while ago already? (Also you should get a contract from Nordhavn, as your videos are *much* better than theirs… 🤫)

Timestamp at 34 mins would confirm it's #6839 but Nick could have filmed it quite some time ago and held back releasing until it was handed over and accepted by the owners.

James knight would be 2 hours on this boat.

that is an amazing boat. ive never had any intrest in boats before, but i tell you that there are some beautifully done vessel's on the seas of this planet.... this is an amazingly well made and thought out yacht. its evident that this owner and wife are very experienced in this life. good for the owners and passengers that get the opportunity to spend time on this masterpiece!
