$2,000,000 Yacht Tour : 2006 Cheoy Lee 84

[@AQUAHOLIC]

The mystery of the door in the engine room explained! (I think). A few people have asked about the door at the far (front) end of the engine room - where does it go? And I must admit this has been puzzling me, but I think I've worked it out. If you look in the master cabin shower, there appears to be an odd, and pointless, partition. That shower is in the centre at the very aft section of the lower deck accommodation. I'm pretty sure that the partition is actually an opening that opens to reveal the inside of that mystery engine room door (they'd line up perfectly). So I think it's an escape route out of the lower deck through the engine room. The door in the transom next to the crew space/engine room access from outside I think is just a bit of deck storage.

[@TheSuprahuman]

I am pretty sure it is an emergency escape hatch, I remember seeing a similar arrangement when Superyacht Captain showed us around MY AWOL. Cheers

[@problemchild4571]

That's my curiosity satisfied

[@matthewdabadie3157]

Thanks I was about to ask those 2 questions 😂

[@RonLarhz]

Was about to ask that.

[@dlbp2544]

AQUAHOLIC As always, you rock! I had those same questions as you’ve spoiled us all with your detailed tours 😊👍🏻👏🏻❤️

[@crazyjay7676]

The government rules on lockdown say you're allowed to travel to your essential work. I think travelling to a Marina and filming more content is very much essential. Give a thumbs up if you agree!

[@manganesegoblin981]

Especially when the video was filmed months in advance.

[@IntrovertCorner480]

I love starting off Sunday’s with Aquaholics

[@Freshy300]

Lol when Nick opened the closets at the master bedroom and closed the second door, I thought "I wonder what was that small door in there" few seconds later Nick opens the closet and opens the small door and goes "don't think I don't read the comments" you are the MVP Nick!

[@Anthonyc714]

If only we could have an AQUAHOLIC tour of all the previous/upcoming Denison yachting listings!! Another great video Nick. Thanks for keeping us entertained during lockdown 👍🏽

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Once we can travel freely again I'm hoping to do plenty more with Denison if they'll let me!

[@Old-Mad-Tom]

AQUAHOLIC I don’t think you’ll have much trouble with that. I’m sure Bob loves what you’re doing and for the price of a flight, car rental, and room he’s getting full value. Hopefully he sends you to the Mediterranean when this is over. 😉

"This bag follows me everywhere" 🤣

[@MrCrystalcranium]

Lovely...sort of a budget superyacht. That's lots of boat for 2 million. Great maple woodwork especially the frame and panel cabinet doors in the galley. Huge upper deck with a Jacuzzi. Perfect show off boat for a lottery winner or the self-made multi-millionaire! Aquaholic's video tours are so much better than the big production boat commercials from the major yacht brokers. This is an actual tour where you feel like you are in the boat walking around taking it all in. The others present the boat in a way to give you an overall impression. Love the engine room tours Nick! Keep up the great work!

[@losttribe3001]

I’ve only known Cheoy Lee as a sailboat manufacturer., so I’ve learned something new. This is always a nice way to wake up in the morning, have a cup of coffee and watch your videos.

[@stefanpetersson636]

Excellent yacht sir. And the more you filmed, the more surprises came along. I mean, the flybridge alone is huge! Although it's 14 years old it could just as well be a 2016 model for all I care as the interior design with the lovely warm wood never gets "old". Thank you, and stay safe!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MicMokum]

I love the interior of this yacht. It's simple and easy on the eye. Thanks for the tour!

[@tal0ndarktalon637]

Interesting boat, nice layout for the most part. So many of these “suffer” from those raked windshields. Another great Aquaholic tour!

[@TheSuprahuman]

It is showing its age in many ways, but still an awful lot of ship for $2 mill. My nan would have loved the interior. Cheers Nick

[@eddiemontiel6573]

The boat looks horrendous

[@wilson4180]

I was just thinking it looks exactly like my grandparents’ house on the inside.

@Chris Ruizknew I'd find one of these. It's a 2006 boat with interior to suit.

[@Knee-ko]

'Oily Bits'.........Love it. 🤍 Don't think I've ever seen a skerrick of oil on any yacht you've shown us Nick. Keep up the great work. 👍👍

[@DG-jq7il]

You can tell it's an older boat, but that doesn't take away from it's ample accommodations and sheer size for the price (not in my price range, but a lot of boat for the money). Thanks again Nick

[@sonnymerrill4535]

Fine boat but the way you detail all of them is superb. I think you do the best job of anyone. Keep up the great work. S

[@IsThisAvailable550]

Tch, Tch, There was a forward door in the engine room & also another door on the swim platform area...... But thanks for the tour Nick, its a yacht I'd be proud to own.

Yes Nick, as you say, an interesting boat. I don’t know how my wife is ever going to choose out of all the options you provide us with. Well done Sir!

I’m sitting on lockdown trying to decide whether to spend £500,000 or if it’s better value to spend a million. All in a dreamworld of course, but these are great to watch.

That boat looked like it was built and decorated in three 70's. I'm sorry but it seemed like a no frills boat. Of course the Aquaholics vid was awesome. Another great job Nick

Hi Nick. For a 74ft boat it has character with the bookmatched doors and small details in the flooring. 1200 Nm in a boat this sice is impressive. Great tour as always. Thanks

[@Jodokus_Rendentanz]

This mysterious white backpack appears in most of Nicks videos. Usually out of nowhere and then somewhere on the aft main deck. Just like in this video. You are not alone, Nick! A group of people observing the white backpack and register exactly where it appears and what it does. 😉

[@varen6]

Thanks for all these informative videos. On the Cheoy Lee I saw that a ladder on the back and also one in the backboard gangway. You didn't spend time on those, but over the years I have been in so many ports and petrol stations where I was wondering how the hell do I get here on or off my boat, so always interested to see what solutions others have implemented. Yards usually don't spend any more time on all these practical aspects and stop at the usual passerelle (as an option). Or more raily putting in a side door or an opening in the front railing surely is only the start of a solution as getting from there to the wall is the more difficult part of the exercise.

I had a 1954 Cheoy Lee 38', it was wonderful with so much teak and mahogany and brass to keep ship shape. I refinished it and sold it because although beautiful it took too much work to maintain it in good order.

[@jameswoodfield9061]

Thank you Nick, my weekly 'Aquaholic hit' is fulfilled until about Wednesday evening when the withdrawal symptoms will start again and I'll be deciding which tour I can watch again, should I select Princess or Sunseeker or go for a 'Denison Yachting' selection. Thinking about starting up 'Aquaholics Anonymous', where the group can discuss things such as the first time Nick pronounced 'Miele' correctly was it on the Sunseeker Manhattan 66 or the......!!!!! And yes the door mystery is resolved and what's behind the little door in the wardrobe!

[@Dangermouse27]

Must have been one hell of a nice boat back in 2006, I still think its nice even at 14 years of age, love all of the classic wood interior and was shocked to see a hot tub, so much to offer on a relatively small boat 👍👍

[@williamm4658]

One thing I think you missed, in the master suite shower / bath tub thing, there is a hatch that you can open to escape in to the engine room if need be. At least, that's the case on my families 68' 2006 Cheoy Lee. Couldn't tell from the video if it was in this one or not.

[@stephenmurray9850]

Did I miss it ??? Where does the tender go? that rear platform I think goes up and down maybe that is where the tender is when not at a show?

Love your videos and they give a good overall presentation of the yachts. Earlier this year Scott Free was on my list of possible yachts being considered for purchase. She is a beautiful yacht but sadly she did not make the short list.

[@jackirichard414]

Wow love the interior of this boat

[@davidfmelbourne3473]

I think that I would have guessed this was a Chinese boat anyway. I've seen it in a lot of their goods, where they have a mix of very good design and then some things that were obviously done to a budget. Some very jarring notes in a luxury product (chairs around the dining table didn't look good enough for IKEA) yet the woodwork, something for which the Chinese are noted, was excellent. It was a good layout, no doubt and excellent value for money even at 14 years old. Thanks so much for reviewing some of these 'older' boats - it gives us a really good comparison of how tastes, engineering and design have changed. From all your reviews though, Samurai is still my all time favourite. Not because of the size, but just because of its elegance and fit out. On a totally side note, I've been watching the video of the first sea trials of Royal Huisman's Sea Eagle II. Time for you to start angling for a visit :-) Hope the lockdown is going well for you Nick. Hang in there, you're not losing any fans.

[@occultustactical6138]

Great design. The VIP was like an RV and very well layer out. The entire boat had a Diesel pusher kind of vibe. It was like nothing else you’ve ever reviewed. Funny how you almost ran through the review.

[@johnspecht72]

More quality content! Thank you again good Sir!

[@taunokekkonen5733]

07:02 how does the etiquette for tying your boat to another go? Let's say that the boat on the left wants to leave and the boat you are on is empty. Do they just walk up to your bow and release the line?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

That's at a boat show, so all the boats would leave at about the same time

[@LMays-cu2hp]

This yacht looks very nice. She maybe a little old but the living space there looks good. A great looking apartment/condo at the marina. Thank you for touring this one.

[@KevinCreighton]

There was a portable gas fire pit in the middle of the outdoor furniture set on the back of the fly bridge. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that on a yacht before.

[@visionist7]

Eclipse has a permanent one, set in the middle of a heated stone deck

Hi Nick and another great video nice one and thanks as always

[@AQUAHOLIC]

[@tomhunter7536]

Just wondering, there is a door next to the crew access, but no comments, is it storage? Not like you miss a doorway.

[@Nokenify]

That is where the owner keeps his "servants".

[@AlexPittendreigh]

I was wondering what it was too. Maybe a shower for those coming off the swim deck/ transom. Would save going into the crew area if it was crewed.

[@Th3OmegaPoint]

Pretty sure it will just be a storage locker. I'm more curious about the other door in the engine room!

[@superyachtchef]

Storage for sea toys and bits and bobs

[@sickofthestupid1067]

its where the CCP monitors reside or perhaps a mobile bio weapons laboratory.

Wow! A lot of boat for $2M. Beautiful interior. A little too slow for my liking though, that comes with the size. Great tour Nick!

[@jakegray99229]

Love your vids so much man, couldn't thank content creators like yourself enough. Btw do you think one day you might buy a boat of this calibre(not saying the boat you already have isnt cool because it is). And if you are already planning on buying one, on what kind of time frame?

Love the boat however does it really need 3 ice makers? I used to run pubs/restaurants and only had one ice maker for a busy commercial business. Excellent as usual Nick.

[@MrPeteJMc]

Just thought Nick. Your next walk could be the Brixham area. One can walk from Churston Court through the woods to the fish quay and then onto Berry head pointing out the boats in the harbour. Happy wondering.

[@mri8562]

Can't believe how boats age in so few years, its lovely though

[@superyachtchef]

This interior was on the edge of old back in 2006. Unfortunately for the Asian market, a lot of the vessel interior designers were required to copy other European yacht builders. Instead of allowing the local talented designers to think organically, traditionally and occasionally out of the box. The same intellectual theft applies to the engine plant, therefore l would never recommend buying any boat built in China before 2013.

[@randybridges6330]

That's a really underated layout

[@scottmclennan6114]

That flybridge certainly packed it in. I reckon you would spend most of your time up there.

[@chrisbenn6128]

One feature that never seems to be covered is what is the boat’s domestic voltage? 110, 230, or dual voltage? It seriously affects your choice of appliances.

[@robertbare1007]

You do not know how excited I get every time I open YT and see a new Aquaholic video. Now I will have to watch this before heading outside to start my burn pile. General question, is the furniture (dining table, etc) fastened down to minimize any movement in rough seas? What about vases, lamps, etc. Or do all the gyros really minimize any type of movement while underway and in port? I must admit as am quite oblivious to how these things work.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Heavy objects like tables are often secured. Vases, lamps etc, it depends. Sometimes they're removed before getting underway if it's likely to be rough, other times they're stuck down.

[@chunkychinn]

Very nice Nick, but what lay behind the 2nd door at the rear, next to the enine/staff entrance? Thanks Nik great show around

What was behind the door in engine room and the other door at the back lol. Really nice boat though. I'd have the front cabin as the master though. Keep up the good work

[@rockets4kids]

Narnia!

[@davidgriffiths4844]

I was thinking the exact same thing! Nick where did these doors lead?

[@fordsandfamilyfiascos6535]

I mean, thank goodness we got to see behind the little door in the master closet but you missed these other 2 full size doors. I'm guessing the door in the back was storage and the door in the engine room was maybe a secondary exit from the master cabin shower?

[@mattem23]

I’m most curious about that aft deck with the chairs; does it raise and lower? Is it always just weirdly up with a railing separating it like that?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I believe it's hydraulic and adjustable, yes

[@blinked025]

While this boat is not old per se, it looks like an antique. I feel like the new boats will age much better. The designs have improved, they are more efficient, and people know they need to take care of them.

[@Wornk]

I think this boat is a masterpiece

[@kylebieth3678]

Im surprised you dident mention that fire pit up top. Can you imagine at night chilling in the hot tub with the only light being that fire pit and the stars....

[@mikeraphone785]

Hi Nick, nice video, so much better than the ones people do with music and no explanation. You pointed out on the side that it had overhangs like a superyacht, I was just wondering is this boat not a superyacht ? is there a certain size before one can be called a superyacht? is this one just a really big boat? probably a silly question but genuine.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Not a silly question at all. Industry standard for a superyacht is at 24 metres Load Line Length. In practice that's boats of at least 85ft but normally 95ft+ So this boat doesn't quite make it as a superyacht (although it does feel like one).

[@timroden6617]

Nice practical yacht. would love to see more range but it is a good one.

[@robertfrost1683]

Bow and stern thrusters look awkward side by side ? Squeaky stairs to ViP and to the lower deck. Access to air handler is good ABYC states equipment must be accessible for service. A Great American size BBQ for those wonderful Porterhouse steaks ! Cat c32’s are rock solid ! What was the other transom door for ? This boat has a beautiful color theme throughout. Cheoy Lee is a solid shipyard.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It's just a storage locker

[@visionist7]

Does the bathing platform have an extension? It has two sections. Finally a boat with the access from the master cabin into the engine room that I've always wanted.

[@Thoragor]

Hi Nick, can you tell me please what is behind the second door in the engine room?

[@BenWaywood]

How do hot tubs work on a boat? salt, fresh, or chlorine? Can you keep it full when underway? Do you store the water in seperate tank? How long does it take to fill and get it warm? Sorry for all the questions but I know Nick will read!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Fresh water, and you have to empty before getting underway.

[@pyrykek]

Hello, when you said 1200 miles of range at 9:00, did you mean nautical miles or imperial miles ? Thank you for the work !

[@DanFrederiksen]

Interesting. It is a bit aged style but very pleasant and inviting nonetheless and good layout. I wonder though with the 2006 price index in china if 2mill isn't a bit high given the age. Quick check would seem to confirm. 2009 Sunseeker 86 for 1.8mill or 2001 Sunseeker 105 for 2 mill. The 105 is pretty showy btw, might be good for a video.

[@shanemacnamara207]

Great vid and nice boat. What was behind the 2nd door on the transom. Between steps up and the crew? A door unopened.. shock horror..
