£6.6 Million Superyacht Tour : Sunseeker Ocean 156

[@leecolley139]

If I am from Marketing at ABC Yacht Sales, and you even remotely state that you're interested in filming a boat, I am all over you! Airfare? Check. Hotel accommodations? Check. Free wine-n-dine? Check! Sea Trial? Check, check, check! You are the best advertising any of these yacht builders and brokers could have. You're professional, enthusiastic, funny, and just so wonderfully British! Glad Sun Seeker saw the error of their ways. Cheers! Now, I'm on to the review.

Thank you! 🙂

Indeed. What would our favourite Yacht reporter do if the boats has fewer drawers and storage spaeces. Finish in 15 mins. Very enjoyable Vlogs but too detailed. Promise to take his word if he were to say more storage here,there.

Crikey big marketing error Sunseeker falling out with the best independent UK boat review channel. Pleased to see relationships now restored.

[@darthkek1953]

Not just the best, but the BIGGEST globally (I think). Nick has over half a million subs. Nautistyles has under half a million and they have, how can I put this, "prominent visual glamour appeal." MB&Y have fewer than 200K. BoatTEST have fewer than 200k. Boat Show just over 300k. Perhaps Sunseeker had hired that sacked lass from Bud Lite...

First off 👏👏👏👏 Big round of applause to sunseeker for seeing sence and getting back with Aquaholic and this one was a epic one for to restart partner ship love this one so many configuration to be had and think the storage bins next to rear steps where for ropes looking forward to many more sunseeker on Aquaholic especially the 55 manhattan and new preditors

[@timschafer5320]

Hats off to you for not making a big public deal about the past issues with one person at Sunseeker, all the “offended by something and I’ll let everyone know” people take note…

Glad you’re back on Sunseeker! Love the video. They should be treating their number one marketing representative like a star!

[@davebuckman8841]

Sunseeker had no option after the incredibly informative princess series. Make hay while the sun shines and secure the next smugglers blues nick

[@gruntlife0341]

I couldn't have said it better. Every single boat maker in the world saw part one and got scrambling to figure out how to catch up. Princess gained so many lifetime fans from how absolutely incredible they handled the tour and how well the fella giving it presented himself. I don't think there was anything that could have been done better and obviously sunseeker finally got the memo. Nick sells boat. Period. I don't think I've ever seen a channel more sincerely loved and supported by viewers than his.

[@PaulFlood-fw8tm]

Sunseeker realised that you bring in more sales than all their fancy sales events combined!!

[@flhtcui1995]

Thank you, Nick, for making your videos so smooth. Like when you spun around to show what was behind you and you did it slowly. I suffer from vertigo and fast video movements can set me off. Much appreciated.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad it helps. 🙂

[@fidel681]

Glad to see SS have come to their senses and invited you back Nick. Their boats are always eye catching. Myself and brother had a tour of their Poole site 20 yrs ago and it was a great experience. Love this model cheers Nick and SS. 😊🍸

[@rogernewey1365]

All very classy, all rather lovely. Do like that main deck layout. Great to see a Sunseeker on the the channel again - thanks.

The fact that a company would NOT want you showing their yachts blows my mind! Great review...and crockery for the win!

[@FunkyTruester]

Was going to make a marketing joke, but I see that's well taken care of in the comments already! But seriously, you're most (quality) builders' dream, I would think. Glad you're back aboard with them, they really do make a lovely boat too. Cheers, Nick.

[@jonhoffman4146]

So glad to see you doing a review of Sunseeker again. You have shown many owner suites but this one just works for me. Don't know why, maybe the Manhattan bed board. Thanks for another grade A review.

[@anthonybaker5896]

So pleased to see you back on a Sunseeker where you do your best walkabout reviews

[@AIRDRAC]

What a gorgeous boat .. well pretty much ship at this point, I guess! Despite the owners cabin bathroom being larger (naturally), I actually think that the way they integrated the walnut paneling was more elegant in the VIP guest cabin, with a more consistent wooden feel, while still leaving space to get out of the shower wet, without worrying too much about damaging the wood. I'm glad that Sunseeker saw the light (Sun?) and started working with you again, this can only be an enormous benefit for them!

[@clivefinlay3901]

Thanks for the engine room tour, so glad you never forget the most important aspect of any boat, cause without it you ain’t goin nowhere!!🌟🌟🌟

[@williambridges3907]

Sunseekers are always amazing, and this one does not fail to impress. Thank you for allowing us to see it through your eyes. It is always a pleasure to walk with you. We would as well like to wish the former marketing member the best of luck at their new career at McDonald's. We are sure that they'll fit right in. They should consider themselves lucky that you are the gentleman that you are. Had you been less so, I doubt they would have faired well. A few hundred thousand Aquaholics is not a hoard any would willing faced. As always my friend, where you go, we follow. Thank you.

[@The-Droll-and-LazyJoker]

Thanks Nick, you found my perfect boat, with the owners cabin on the main deck and next to the kitchen, with the floor to ceiling surrounding windows, and glass sliding doors, to a private bow, fantastic! The contrasting wall coverings are beautifully integrated together. Now I just have to save all of my... "Shekels"

[@jamesellsworth9673]

The dining room setup was splendid. All around views of the seascape for evening meals.

[@nicoleadderley975]

It's so good to see you back on a Sunseeker and an Ocean model to boot! Loved this model as much I loved the Ocean 90. The finishes and décor are gorgeous. Whoever owns this gorgeous thing, is truly lucky. Also, just for the record, I love that you don't edit a lot, if you edit anything. I love the real cuts of your tours. I love that you open doors, cupboards and drawers, it's exactly what I do when looking to purchase anything. You are thorough in your tours and that's why I love them! Thank you so much for the time you put into your tours and channel. You're the best!

Your video of the Sunseeker Predator 55 Evo three years ago was the first boat video I ever watched, and it opened a huge door into a nautical world for me, so far as to lead me to reconsider life goals. Glad to see sunseeker's back!

[@nicolasweber2805]

Well, Nick... Yet another preview of a magnificent yacht. I have wondered why your videos are just a tad better than your Colleagues - and now I know. You take you time, and you give descriptions of even the smallest detail, such as the feeling of walking up the stairs to the upper deck.... this could seem not important, but it just give a viewer this feeling of - almost - being with you doing the tourAnd what a gorgeous yacht this is - a worthy successor to the 90 ocean - thank you

[@kfeltenberger]

Glad to Sunseeker came to their senses. There were parts I liked, but like some others have said, the woodwork/finish left a bit to be desired…it looked like laminate with decal finish. Certainly not what I would pay that amount of coin for. But…different tastes for different people!

[@r.a.monigold9789]

[@MartinLockhart]

Would be interesting to see a factory tour round their facility in Poole

[@seanogden927]

Definitely a beautiful yacht, really nice finishes throughout and a nice layout, so spacious everywhere except the poor crew area which is a little cramped. I would keep the dining area on the main deck and I would have a hot tub up on the top deck. Nice to see you back with Sunseeker, great tour Nick thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@steveknott6600]

I had wondered why there hadn't been a Sunseeker video for a while, so glad you are back on board with your inimitable style squire, I really like their beautiful boats! If only I had the money ......

[@grondhero]

I'm glad Sunseeker came to their senses, 😉 but now I'm upset with them. When I saw "Ocean 156" I was expecting a 156' foot (47.5m) boat, not an 82'6" (24.14m) boat. 😝 Great tour! Those elbow-high railings are really underrated. Definitely something I would want.

[@nicklean1937]

156 is referring to the Gross Tonnage of the vessel. Huge volume for a boat of thi size.

Absolutely gorgeous, Sunseeker does it again. It makes you proud to be BBritish 🇬🇧

[@louisschummer931]

What a beast! Glad to see you back with Sunseeker, love their boats and your tours of them.

[@MarcusEvans-qq8yv]

Great to see a new Sunseeker review again and pleased they came to their senses. Love the style and design of Sunseekers. Any chance of a tour of the Poole factory as would make an interesting comparison with Princess. Two great British boat building Companies. Hope that Smugglers isn’t being too abandoned at the moment with all of the great yacht tours going on. 🙂

First time I thought the Bow accommodation looked better than the stern/owners, loved the offset entry👍 Just sooooooo big, loved all of it ,,,,,,,,,,,,, needed a better bar area though! For all the parties 🎈 you’d be having because you’d won the big jackpot🤭🤗🤓

[@kokomo9764]

As I have seen your Princess build series, I see a huge difference in many areas in terms of finishes. Don't misunderstand, I think Sunseekers are excellent yachts, and I would be proud to own one. But there is a difference. I really like this boat. The layout is excellent. The price is also reasonable. Thanks, Nick!

[@SuperSetright]

Agreed....Princess is a level or 2 above.

[@ChrisHearne-z7b]

​@@SuperSetright I would have to disagree with you there but that's your opinion

[@BoatsAreFun82]

Partially agree. The Sunseeker of 7-8 years ago where the dark woods were heavily used for me were above and beyond any builder. But these light “faker” woods do nothing for me. They look cheap. Would still choose Sunseeker.

[@SuperSetright]

@@ChrisHearne-z7b Yes it is.

[@michaelcaffari3997]

So glad you're back with Sunseeker, have missed them. Great review of a very impressive mid sized yacht. Very open design and looks good for a party vessel but with great accommodation for some serious boating. Once again Nick many thanks for your expertise and still including "I'll edit that out later"!!!!

[@bruceroaf]

So good to see you on a sunseeker back at last. Nick Sunseeker should be delighted your back on their boats 👍👍👍

[@Frytech]

Ah, the power of competition! Sunseeker watched what an absolute W Princess Yachts just scored for themselves in Nick’s community and amongst boats enthusiasts with an amazing factory tour presented by a fantastic lovable guide Ross, and started scratching their heads… Then they’ve finally started using those things not just for scratching… and what do we have now? A month after the first Princess tour video - would you believe, Nick is reviewing a Sunseeker😂 Fantastic video as always! Thank you a lot👏🏻 Fun fact: besides one video with an older Sunseeker yacht, this is the first Sunseeker on Aquaholic since Apr 2022! Once again, talk about taking PR Ls and then finally coming back to your senses after your main local competitor just hit it out of the park with a fantastic series!

[@coryjay16]

You do realise this is most probably filmed weeks or potentially months ago along with the princess videos too

[@Frytech]

@@coryjay16 You don’t know when it was filmed now, do you? Neither do I. But if it’s just a coincidence - that’s a helluva coincidence.

[@tommoore8880]

[@westy1007]

That is a beautiful boat, especially love the clean lines of the dark glazing ! Well done Sun seeker and Aquaholic, a fine collaboration

[@Frytech]

@@tommoore8880 Thank you! Which if correct fits perfectly with what I’ve said before, since Southampton boat show was 13-22 Sep 2024, while the first Princess video was released on 8 Sep 2024, if my dates are correct. Obviously, we still won’t know if any of it is actually true, but the “coincidence” is rather obvious :)

[@bryduhbikeguy]

This entire ship is wonderful for family and friends to live comfortably in every area for extended periods. Just add a washer/dryer combo near the bedrooms for swimwear so the full size units are kept free for everything else. Sunseeker has a major Winner on their hands with this layout. TY Nick.

[@nickgreen1271]

I wondered why I hadn't seen a sunseeker on here for a while Nick. Glad you're back on board.

[@stevenchapman5620]

Nick, I havnt read all the comments, but just in case……to stop the boat lights from flickering on your video it can easily be fixed by adjusting your frame rate to something higher. You can even do some slow motion stuff and smooth out your panning by slowing the video down in post which will make for even smoother footage

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for the tip!

[@gordonsimpson3235]

Good to see you back on Sunseeker....frankly, it has been their loss, so good news that the individual has departed. I always feel that Sunseeker fit out is a level above Fairline/Princess.....may be an illusion, but the fit finish looks tighter (less likely to rattle when underway), and the quality of the stainless steel always looks better. Remember the Manhattan 50 which you covered a while ago with the new owners too? That was a 2005 boat and still looked perfect- bears out the original quality. Man, I loved that boat! The more access doors and sliding sunroofs the more opportunity for water ingress and staining as the boat settles in, so Sunseeker must be confidant of their quality with this one! Not the prettiest Sunseeker I have ever seen, but beauty seems to be somewhat lost on the latest designs of all motor cruisers. Great tour Nick.
