€5.4 Million Yacht Tour : VisionF 80

[@davidhawkes9273]

Thanks again Nick. On a personal note I am not very impressed with this vessel particularly with a price tag of £5.4 million. Not sure what the designers were thinking about when they decided to place the forward door so that it opens across the helm position and the crew quarters are dreadful. Apart from that your tour was, as always, very interesting

[@ComboBreakerHD]

I actually thought the crew quarters was going to be at the front of the bow under that little triangle part, then I thought nah, the opening is too small. Imagine my surprise when it was that tiny square window! Curious decision considering the range these things get. Imagine spending days down there. And the way it opens?? Ah.

[@macbouncer8525]

I'm quite fond of cats, but agree the door across the view from the helm was an "oversight" that should have been noticed in the design stage. I'd be viewing with the mindset of where are the other "oversights". Somewhat surprised that Nick didnt notice / comment on it. The crew areas border on embarrassing for such a spacious vessel. A shame, it ccould have been so much more. The Hybrid version does sound like a winner and the stealth look is stunning. 😀

[@grondhero]

On catamarans, the crew area is almost always up front. The forward door is great for breeze as well as not having to 'go around.' My guess is that the forward door _won't_ be open while under way _or_ the pilot will be on the sky bridge if the weather is that nice. There's always a trade off. This one has the unobstructed view when you're in the office chair and eating. I'm sure any owner can change to suit their preference.

[@gordonsimpson3235]

I agree doesn't 'float my boat' ! Different strokes for different folks though.

[@dwrowley]

Not one for me, hate the design and looks, the bedrooms look like concrete bunkers and access to the crew cabins is shocking, imagine if it is raining, your getting soaked putting the handle in the hole, what's wrong with the normal flush handles. Over €5 million, I would feel robbed if I paid over a million

[@danielamazing3264]

I am fond of this particular edition and there is just so much space onboard its fantastic! I like the idea of a Silent x Vision collaboration as with 80 foot of solar panels one would assume the range would be amazing. Thanks for the tour Nick!

[@MesaperProductions]

Range? Yes. All the range. (Just a question of how fast you want to get there.)

[@nickwatkins5321]

Enormous amount of space! Nice with the lower galley, it opens the main deck for other things. Excellent

[@VirtanenDK]

The BLCK cat, with the Hanstiger in the background, that he also has a tour of. This BLCK cat was beautiful inside and out. The teak and the mat black boat, was super stealthy. Great tour Nick 👌

[@michaelfincham2749]

Great tour. As usual. Those Crew Quarts were frighting!

[@nickbitten9910]

Massive boat and impressive overall, except for the crew cabin- going down that ladder after a tiring day or on a rough sea would be a no- no. Good photography Nick

[@jimmyzhao2673]

If I were crew, I would ask for hazard pay to live in that so-called 'crew cabin'

[@MesaperProductions]

Yeah, I've never been a fan of external-only access to a crew cabin. But maybe that's because I'm thinking I'll eventually get an explorer yacht *meant* for heavy weather.

[@alterego157]

That's why you get pretty young women as your crew and they sleep with you. And you charge them for your company, so it's a win win combination for you.

[@seanogden927]

I like that you can customise everything even the hull colour, extremely spacious above decks, slightly narrower below decks in the hulls but still spacious, nice finishes through out. Really nice yacht. Thanks for another great tour Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like it!

[@paulgolding1009]

I have to agree with some other comments about the crew areas, for a yacht of this price and size you’d expect better crew accommodation. They were like an Oubliette. Also I agree with the position of the door out to the bow. It opens the wrong way. So some things to think about for future design updates I think. A lovely video as usual Nick you are the best and I’ve checked a few others and they are 3 rd devision at best.

I would do exactly the same! Crew quarters up front look like prison cells, much more practical to have them where that kitchen is now! But the space is what sells them every time! ❤️

[@OldManGibb]

@@tteric67 I agree, the crew area kinda feels like a slave quarters, locked in and all. That ruins the entire feel of the boat for me.

[@stevegame3000]

I was going to say the same but I guess if you have a crew(in better crew cabin) and a Galley up in a big open plan area, the crew and guests would be in the same space

[@tteric67]

[@thanasisz9689]

Thank you Nick! Overall, an amazing yacht but with three drawbacks that are not negligible. 1) No day heads! What if you have a party or someone visiting? Will they go through the cabins? 2) The finishing of the ceiling is annoying and very difficult to clean. I would go for something more conventional. 3) Crew cabins! We should respect the time that these people spend on board. They are not slaves but employees. They do their best so passengers have a nice trip. They deserve a decent place to live!

[@rocketraccoon1976]

1) Plenty of deck space to take a dump over the side. 3) In some parts of the world, crew are more like slaves.

A different breed of cat - that's a fact, Yes, catamarans all have a massive main deck - a place that covers the expanse of two hulls. But it's what the Vision designers have done with ALL those spaces that puts this boat a cut above. Nick, you've again done a wonderful job filling our Sunday mornings with a float, on a boat that is massive - with a tour above and below decks to areas that belie logic, but enhance fun. Thank you.

[@KimCJorgensen]

Cats are the way to go, I had a Lagoon Power 43, 3-cabin/office version with all options incl dinghy davit. Fantastic value for money and superb fuel economy. Full width aft master cabin with separate WC & shower. I could go on....

[@jonstundralife5897]

YES!! This yacht is awesome! I cant wait to see Silent80 tri-deck version of this, with its wider beam. Im hoping in some of the upcoming boat shows later this year. I really want to see how big the port side tender garage and starboard side storage areas are without those big diesel engines filling them up. *Thank you for being the first to show us the crew cabins

[@davidlefeuvre8352]

Since watching your videos Nick i have gradually become a fan of catamarans, the saloon on this is vast and for me a bit bare and lacking any character i would have the galley up there and make a little more comfortable and cosy. I believe you said that space below deck could then become a crew cabin, those current ones are terrible and only fit for fenders and ropes etc, one other thing is the lack of a day heads which puzzles me on something this size, great tour as always, thanks Nick.

Looks great, for sure - but I think I'd concede a little in the ways of aesthetics in favour of comfort, as in sunny climes - and where else would you want to be in such a boat? - this is going to suck up heat like nobody's business and would be to hot to touch

As you gave us your usual brilliant tour Nick , I was reckoning up the value and I’m 3,000,000 under the asking price ! Yuk galley, a couple of chain lockers called crew quarters and a master cabin in a corridor! A five year old Sunseeker for half the price would be a better purchase me thinks.

Fascinating tour of a really interesting boat, Nick. I can see this as one you'd spend a very long time on - though I wouldn't want to do that if I were a crewmember, I don't think! My personal preference would be galley up, crew cabin at the rear - I don't think I could subject a crew to those coffins at the fore!

Stunning, Nick. Surprised there aren't any outside bar/cooking/fridge areas, and agree with your other viewers regarding moving the galley upstairs, but the spaces are amazing!

[@BadYossa]

Fur coat, no knickers as they used to say. A large galley with bugger all work surfaces, seems to sum this vessel up. I'm sure it looked groovy on CAD, but it just doesn't click in the flesh, as it were. It's like a bunch of designers/naval architects were assigned, but each worked in isolation. Hey ho. Cheers for your efforts though mate👍

While not a catamaran fan, this yacht is pretty special with some gorgeous design touches, colours & textures (& a few oddities too!). Lots of money but lots of boat! Great tour Nick! 👍🏻

[@davidherbst]

Beautiful boat. Not crazy about needing a separate tool to open hatches. Seems needless, and potentially problematic.

[@jimmyzhao2673]

The refrigerator especially, I bet the chef hates them, so much delay in a simple task of just opening the refrigerator door.

[@ADGNet]

Use it as a dungeon... or a brig.

[@VirtanenDK]

It's not a separate tool, they can also be used with the Harken winch, and maybe also with the anchor winch, in cases where the power doesn't work. But in this case it also works to open up a hatch. It could help people to stay out, like a lock. Cus they have to find the handle first lol

[@michaelmccarty6582]

Is there a release from inside the crew cabin? So they can't be locked in?

[@davidherbst]

@@VirtanenDK my concern is not that it is a single-purpose tool, solely for opening hatches. My concern is that there are regularly travelled spaces on the boat where a tool must be retrieved to gain access. Not only does this seem inconvenient, but potentially unsafe. It’s easy to imagine an emergency where a person has fallen unconscious in one of these areas. Requiring rescuers, who might not be intimately familiar with the boat, to first find, and then employ a tool to get help to them is less than ideal. The fact that the tool in question serves multiple other purposes does not allay my concerns.

[@TexanUSMC8089]

Like Nick said, this was this owner's design. The small hatch down into the crew quarters is pretty bad, but that's what this owner wanted I guess. This is a massive boat and the potential is just as massive. I can imagine no grey cloth or leather on the interior, but a classic trawler-type look with a lot of wood and vents on some of the cabinet doors. I would use a darker wood with a matte finish. When I think of a multi-million dollar yacht I want to see a teak or cherry interior. What would Princess do with an 80-foot Cat? I bet Vision has some great visions for this hull. The hybrid engine model should be great. Great tour Nick. Thanks.

[@nicbennett6554]

Another brilliant tour Nick, you’re getting rather good at this stuff aren’t you!! I think for a boat in the med, it’s hard to beat. Sooo much space for 80’ and it looks awesome and those fuel burn numbers are rather impressive. I can imagine having a month cruising gently around from bay to bay, dropping the toys in for some adrenaline fuelled fun, then longing around the rest of the day on those vast decks….. 😎

[@mmsmits2868]

Definitely a very beautiful boat. Not sure I feel positive about some of the details, such as the tenders on the front deck, the separate handles for the deck hatches and the placement of the toilets in two of the guest rooms, and while very sleek, a matte black exterior in a sunny season might be tough. I would configure mine differently with the Silent Yachts drivetrain, matte light grey exterior, single tender on the hi-lo platform and a refinement of the heads and then it'd be perfect! That is for another awesome tour!

[@kevinz8930]

I agree. How can you have seats that have a black back if you're going to be in the Sun? The whole ship being black will turn it into an oven. Then you need to use extra electricity for for more AC. WILL also make it feel a lot hotter when you're sitting outside. The black would just radiate heat up all around that boat.

[@sirmurf]

If you mean the toilet being a wee bit close to the wall, I spotted that too. It’s the kind of thing that’d drive me nuts.

[@staffordshiredashcamvideos889]

I bet the cabins, especially the crew cabins get very hot with the black colour absorbing the daytime sun. The air con will need to be good to combat this. I always feel that with a catamaran that the space lost between the two hulls at the waterline is kind of missing space., that said you do benefit from a more stable ride underway and you do get the wider beam than you would do from a monohull vessel.

[@twulff7060]

What I always find absolutely outrageous, especially with such an enormously large boat like this one, is when the crew is housed in absolute holes and for example have to go through wind and weather to get from their "cabin" to the rest of the interior of the boat. But that just shows how much you value your crew, or don’t.

[@JamesJohnAgar]

I like it nice and modern love the black style of the design.
