$10 Million Explorer Superyacht Tour : 2017 Cantiere Delle Marche Darwin 102

[@ston3kill3r]

Wow that has the cleanest engine room and bilges that I've seen, you'd never think it was 7 years old. An all round awesome world cruiser

[@2Dylandog]

I would never have imagined it possible to be easily able to eat one's lunch from the bilges of a seven year old little ship!

[@zapfanzapfan]

That was amazingly clean. Either completely unused and sat at the dock for 7 years or someone from Cirque de soleil crawled around and cleaned it.

[@chuckbecker4983]

A voyage must have a purpose, otherwise it's just a cruise.

[@ashleyhodgman5246]

That needs a huge WOW!!! How the other half live. Great big thanks Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

No worries!

[@Fritz2personal]

Ahhhhhhhh….. Sunday morning, cup of coffee, and a new video from Nick, Happy Happy!!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Enjoy!

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

She is incredible. I just love the older style look over the modern one. Specially when it comes to an explorer. Gives that more homely feel. Thank you so much for taking us on a tour of her Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@lostnumberaptom3927]

I'd say one of the best all rounder yacht's i've seen with luxury, proper space/accessibility and usability all round.

[@grondhero]

A wonderful and proper explorer yacht. We always appreciate when the crew areas are treated to the same quality level as the guest/owner areas.

[@oddoneout9012]

You'd think that more vessels would do stuff like that, after all the crew are the ones maintaining an operating the vessel for the owners to enjoy.

[@ryanfowlow8034]

Beautiful ship, one of the best interiors I've seen on a yacht. Thanks for the tour Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching it! 😃

[@stephenodonohue9876]

Congratulations to the owner and especially the crew. I cannot believe that is not a brand new yacht. One of the nicest, best organised Explorer yachts I've seen. Brilliant.

[@stanleyclark7758]

As an engineer, I am very taken with this motor yacht, Nick. Quality in every aspect. Thank you for the tour! Regards. Stan

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching it! 🙂

[@alpine5551]

I woke up this morning in the mood for proper little ship stuff…and imagine my surprise!! You continue to amaze!! Thanks for bringing us along!!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@Jagcycle]

I must admit, I expected you to break that glass at the start, but then I remembered that this is not a Galeon.😂 I normally don't think that the bigger yachts are all that impressive, but this one is simply beautiful. Whoever the own is, they obviously love boating, not just an expensive toy. The crew accommodation speaks to that.💙 I also love the double-mention of the pull-up bar. Too bad you didn't demonstrate it! 🤣 I really did forget that this is not a new boat. Super clean!

[@FLGurl]

This vessel is in amazing condition for the age. It just looks like it came right out of the shipping yard the day before filming. Thank you, as ever! 🍷

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Always a pleasure! 🙂

[@paulbryan1094]

Been watching your channel for many years and I have to say, that that is the best little ship you’ve toured yet. Absolutely first class. Like an old school steamer yacht.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I"m glad that you liked it 🙂

[@maxnex7676]

A strange mix of old and new styles that works so well to give a vessel that "yacht" feel. Thanks for the video.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@rebelliousraven]

I love the woodwork. The whole decor gives the feeling of the classic yachts of the 1940s-1960s. A bit of an art deco with a modern touch. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@patrickerdal]

I kept thinking ‘nice’ to myself as you entered each new area! Great layout, crew quarters and under the stairs engineering space. On my wishlist, thanks Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@MinistryoAgriculture]

That even the little folding hand basin in the engine room had a brass tap speaks to the quality of the work done on this boat. Kudos to the Owner, Builder and Crew. Thank you for letting us look around. Thanks, Nick, for bringing it to us. Lovely Boat.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@Haraldsvensk]

What a well thought out yacht that also deserves the name explorer. There it turns out that the owner cares about his crew with nice crew space. In addition, very nice space for guests. The engine room is large and nice. It all looks like new. Thanks for the viewing.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for the watching! 😃

[@LaurinKramer]

I love how all the fire safety systems are super visible. You usually don’t notice that on other yachts, though it is super important for safety in my opinion.

[@allankatie1]

Wow what a remarkable explorer. I love it. I suspect this one has been chartered never the less I think it’s truly brilliant. Another great tour Nick despite the weather.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@michaelcaffari3997]

This is one of the best displacement yachts you've toured in my humble opinion. Nothing too fancy just utterly practical but I never knew Cadbury built yachts? (CDM) Cadburys dairy milk). Great review once again Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@Mandurath]

A new favorite for me. Very tasteful and will never be dated looking. While at the same time having a commercial or industrial feel to it. Respect to the designers, both the engineering design and the interior design. Not often do I think if I to own this I wouldn't change a thing, and this is one of them.

[@darrenbaldock2370]

Wow wow wow . That’s an amazing explorer . The attention to detail not just above deck with the awesome design and build quality. But the engine and engineering areas are so thought out , also not to mention so clean . She is an absolute beauty

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I"m glad that you liked it 🙂

[@dwighttjornhom9940]

The mechanical specification of this boat beats some naval vessels I have seen! Every detail is accessible, functional and built to last. Thanks Nick! This one brought back some memories and made me smile!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@davidhogg657]

I think this is the best, most desirable boat you've ever had. Not the most expensive, granted, but superb layout, decor and just feels right

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I"m glad that you liked it 🙂

[@user-jz5ui5xo4d]

The woodwork looks fantastic.It gives me vibes of an aristocratic boat of the early 1900's while the rest of the yacht is quite modern.For a moment i went back in time.

[@itziknadel]

what a great sea machine, so much style and functionality... and Nick's Passion, well... like a kid in a candy shop :) thank you for a great walkthrough.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I was quite taken with this one! 😄

[@seanogden927]

I think this is one of the best yachts you have ever shown us, Quality throughout with a great layout and spacious everywhere. There is nothing on here not to like it is just perfect and the technical spaces are awesome. I do feel sorry though for the poor crew member who as to polish all those brass fittings. Great tour Nick thank you so much.

[@mikefendel]

Very Classy World Cruiser here Nick! Wonderfully appointed and luxury style on this one. Must be a dream to sail on . Thanks for the tour!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@panoshountis1516]

Thank you for this, Nick! Such a well designed and looked after vessel she is. As you pointed out, it seems like a brand new; even the bilges are squeaky clean. Great balance between service, guest and engineering spaces. It is obvious that she is ran by a satisfied crew. I am quite impressed with the brass fixtures, switches and plumbing, as well.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@tomingrassiaimages8776]

without a doubt. my alltime favorite of all boats on this channel. Stunning design.

[@Steve-Cross]

I don’t know how you do it, Nick, but you have just sold me another amazing boat. If only. I would need to be a millionaire just to be able to afford all the Brasso required to keep the beautiful brass fixtures and fittings shiny. I will definitely look at this one again. Once is definitely not enough. She is beautiful. Thank you. 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@rexpayne7836]

That's a wonderful boat. Anyone would be happy owning such a gorgeous and practical boat. Thanks, Nick, you've done it again. 🇦🇺 😀

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome!

[@Broadcastvehicles]

She has class & style! And the best part? This is what you immediately imagine when you have $10 million to spend on a ship? Solid, beautiful design, very well thought out layout and a look that many more expensive yachts can't even match?! Leave the Nordhavn for what they are, I'll sign for this one 🙂 Thank you Nick for showing us something special again.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you liked it 🙂

[@jiminyhopkins]

Nick, your enthusiasm for your work is truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing with us! Never seen a bloke get more excited to find a secret outside bathroom :)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you! 😃

[@Kim_Jensen]

Brass fittings and two bars, the owner has great taste 😆 It has everything you could ever need on a looooong trip 🙂 Thanks for a great tour Nick 😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@fidel681]

Beautiful "proper" ship. Superb Hinges! 😅 and love the brass fittings, protectors. Could quite happily spend/enjoy every mile of the 4,000. Best ensuites I've seen. Great tour Nick😊👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you!

[@MakinNbreakin]

I think this is my favorite yacht you've ever had on the channel.

[@scottfortune9016]

I think this is the absolutely best fitted and laid out 102' boat I've ever seen. And she looks brand new!! Whomever buys her is getting themselves a wonderful boat and crew!!

[@triedproven9908]

Guest accomodation was lacking but overall I agree. And 10 million is more than fair in my honest opinion.

[@scottfortune9016]

Agreed ​@@triedproven9908

[@markshutt1476]

I think I'm in love with this vessel. The only thing that's not really what I'd do is all that steam punk brass. 20 years in the USN has left me with an aversion to brass, and the need to polish it. (I'd get over it if this was my boat.) Love the crew areas on this, including those amazing engineering spaces. Thanks, Nick, for braving the elements and getting us on this beauty.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad you liked it 🙂

[@jimwhitaker4327]

Can't wait for this year's top tours cause this one will make that list, comfort and luxury with practicality to go anywhere.

[@robertwallace9215]

It was nice to see fire hoods in each cabin, I think that is the first time I have see them marked with fire gear. Love CdM they have great yachts. Thank you.😊

[@christophermielke]

This is what you get for the money. Hugely impressed by the build quality and layout. Proper little ship explorer. Love your content Brother!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Much appreciated!

[@Bournemouthbear]

The boat is amazing but as always the best part is the knowledgeable narrator and camera work.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Many thanks!

[@AlphaGatorDCS]

I usually do not like brass, but this boat changed my mind. Crockery for the win!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

😎

[@bryduhbikeguy]

I wouldn't even change a throw pillow. Absolutely Brilliant ship. Kudos for the quality of the crew for keeping this spotless.

[@juliaward2523]

A great in depth tour.. love seeing all the nooks and crannies… fabulous video. Thanks Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@robertmosher7418]

Maggie the baggie! Love the brass everywhere. Though can you imagine how much work the crew does to keep the brass shiny and from turning green? The amount of space in the engineering spaces is just insane.

[@PierluigiPuttiDiaz]

Wooow! What an incredible yacht! Absolutely beautiful! As always, well done Nick!!!!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're welcome!

[@mohammednadeemanwar2213]

Brilliant to see real wood cabinet work. On a boat. More comfortably designed cabins. Thanks for the tour Nick 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you liked it 🙂

[@jasonpierce6703]

I have seen lots of your videos over the years. This one is my favorite for a lot of reasons. Someone really has some style and it shows...

[@jasonpierce6703]

i typed that comment before I got to the engine room and found out it was a 2017 and now.... OMG what an amazing boat! that outside day head and the 2 ice makers....

[@jasonjegers9973]

I LOVE this explorer!! Love the color scheme and dark non gloss wood, and cool non polished "steampunk" fixtures!! So cool. Thanks for a great tour, Nick!!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@scottdynek2728]

Thanks for the tropical storm tour! Your absolutely crazy, gotta love it! Great tour Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@marting4042]

That Pullman berth implementation was superb. The whole vessel displayed such a tasteful design, and that walk-in wardrobe was unbelievable. Yes, the steampunk plumbing suited the aesthetic to a T. Oh to be a crew member, that would be rewarding and fun. I’m intrigued by the helm seating and those floor panels. Immaculately presented for a 7 year old yacht. What a fantastic “little ship”. Thought you might do a mirror wave using the highly polished chrome in the engine room. Thanks Nick, you really did deliver on your opening “something properly special” statement.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you liked it 🙂

[@craigie13]

This is by far my favourite boat... Little ship of 2024..awesome

[@viktoro873]

Great video as always. I’m amazed at how quickly these boats look dated though.

[@Ob1sdarkside]

"A cabin for your clothes" never a truer word spoken. Happy New year nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Happy New Year! 🥳

[@kjf63]

This yacht feels like a boat, beautiful balance between wood and white/light finishes. Love it.

[@MrPeteJMc]

Beautifully designed interior. A fascinating yacht. Thank you Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@charlesvanacore7459]

I was laughing to myself when you were "demonstrating' the storage compartment for the Martini glasses...waiting ,waiting , waiting ..Whew got past that . Great tour as usual and entertaining as ever ...OT60 puleeeese....

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Hi Nick, I think this is one for in the list on the end of this year Superyachts top 10 the one with a WAUW factor this Cantiere Delle Marche Darwin 102 from 2017 and it looks beautiful from the out side and also from the inside big cozy salon going over with the dining en funny little bar below one double suite in the bow 2 twins both with a pullman and a spaceious master i love the wood choice not to dark or tol ight crew spaces on the main deck rare and a professional balley to much to see Nick Wow⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It's not impossible! 🙂

[@deedge1584]

Hahaha😂 Nick your excitement discovering the outside day heads was absolutely priceless 🎉🎉🎉 And that is why you ARE A STAR of KZbin subscribers & Boat enthusiasts ❤ Thankyou😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind! 🙂

[@TheLukanda]

What a beautiful vessel! Great tour Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@genericusername2177]

I think I'm in love❤ Fabulous boat, and those switches and plumbing are super cool. Thanks for taking your time with this one, well done.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like it! 🙂

[@nicolasweber2805]

truly magnificent ship, a real dream maker.... a bit old-fashioned combined with contemporary style.... very nice, thank you Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like it!

[@johnkidd797]

Absolutely gorgeous, I really could see myself swaning around the world aboard this beauty. Great video Nick, get the socks on the heater.😃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@stoatsngroatsuk5012]

I would have to say, that is the best one I’ve seen Nick, enthusiasm extreme from you! 😀👍🙏

[@beganny]

Very brave tour in the weather, Nick! Amazing ship - love the guest cabin fit and finish! Brass is beautiful and that is a really nice VIP cabin up front! Thanks!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@bobuncle8704]

Just spectacular, Nick. Thank you

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nathieboy1987]

This is absolutely fabulous. I'd be very happy with this yacht.

[@jamiecoyne1494]

Interesting the sounds of the storage cupboard scream solid. Doesn’t sound like a standard caravan/motorhome cupboard you hear of other boats. Storage under the beds, wood panelling just screams quality. I love the style on this one, if only my numbers came up.

[@johnschieffelin3226]

Thanks Nick, very thorough, informed tour of an impressive little ship. Amazing how they pack so much into 102 feet. Really terrific engine/technical spaces -- proper access top all nooks and crannies. Also impressive crew space -- no dank. cramped bilge mess for them. I might have made some sort of access to laundry facilities and mini-galley for owner and guests but that could be done custom. Looks like a reasonably compact but competent vessel for global wandering.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@R1Willem]

The steampunk elements are fantastic it gives the boat so much character!

[@oneslackr]

Very nice. Thanks for the tour Nick. It's going to take me a long time to catch up on all of the videos I've missed.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Welcome back!

[@jeffmcallister7040]

Great video Nick! A very thorough walk thru of a very impressive yacht. Thanks 😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@candymennega1153]

Love this ship! It has a "home" feel about it.

[@djberkey5449]

This is properly impressive! And you know that’s true when your voice goes up 10 octaves when you said “look at those HINGES!,!” That mad me laugh but I really do like this one! While the steam punk brass everything was nice I really felt like it was a nod to old boats and ships! And all the woos work the same! I’d be totally comfortable eating my meals off the floors in this one!😂

[@jaimiemadden590]

What a capable yacht, see the world in style and comfort. Like the living spaces they look really easy to be in. The bridge is well laid out And has lots of instrumentation’. Thank you for the tour Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome!

[@JohnHutchinson-bl7nj]

Brilliant Tour-so entertaining/informative and delivered with your usual understated panache.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind!

[@greenerriddim]

Looks like a brand new boat. I feel like if I had the money, I'd be more tempted by one of these explorer style yachts than the flashy shiny party boats. Now just have to win the lottery.

[@Mr-MH227]

Always the best yacht tours 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you!

[@I-am-awayTOM]

Price is what you pay, but value is what you get. This world cruiser has GOOD value!

[@kiken2941]

I was sold by the light switches. Everything else is just gravy. A proper well-laid out explorer with a finish that makes it feel like a gentleman's yacht. Not stuffing the crew away 'downstairs' probably makes a world of difference for them on a long voyage. If only I had won that £177 million last week I would have bought two.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you liked it 🙂

[@danielmee2564]

I wonder if it's a sign I've watched too many of these with you now, Nick. I start to notice things missing... didn't see a bbq / grill or long range additional cold/freezer stories. So I think I'll save my dream £10mil this time ;) loved the video. Another winner! Thanks

[@michaelpowell9164]

Finally! Lol A proper yacht using the "front door" to board verses the "back door". (swim deck).

[@nicbennett6554]

Brilliant tour Nick, thank you. Loved the engineering spaces, outside spaces and crew space. Less keen on the interior spaces and cabins; Setag refit needed!!

[@koolblue6927]

Not only beautiful, but stunningly clean!

[@maximusromptimus5798]

Being from the States, I love the word "crockery" rather than "dishes".

[@chesterthemlester9989]

I don't usually like the explorer type yachts, but this was very nicely done

[@jasonjenkins-ferris]

Braving the storm, Nick! Don't get blown away! lol

[@normbond8888]

Nick old chap, when we lived in Florida we called the rain ‘Liquid Sunshine’ for the ‘Sunshine State’.Always grateful to help the strawberries & oranges to grow along with breaking up the humidity.😂

[@Dogasaurus]

Unusual and brilliant GA, imo. I guess that's the flex you get with a top steel builder like CdM; the owner's cabin would be too noisy on most yachts, but here the boss gets the most stable and beamiest cabin; you can't have that wardrobe and head without the beam. And the crew gets quiet, fresh air, & natural light. Everyone wins. Totally agree that the nautical steampunk flourishes are wonderful. Love brass on boats aesthetically and practically ( no corrosion, less polishing, natural antimicrobial). I love the patina matte brass gets over time, too. I've lived in smaller spaces than that lazarette. I think that vacuum hose in the engine room is used mainly to suction up the envious drool of anyone who visits either space. An on-deck and indoor heads is a great thing for both family and entertaining. Keep the grubby squelching rabble properly routed & drained, related or not. I also really like that they eliminated the typical bench behind the command station; those chairs are where I'd want to be, with my skipper at the center helm, not peeking over his shoulder like a backseat driver. Sorry to hear that the magic shoes don't function in American airspace. Or are you just too cheap to pay the roaming fee ?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

😄

[@GuitarWatsonMusic]

That bow storage space - I was sure those hammocks were for the crew! Like in O'Brian stories, hammocks slung right forward.

[@anthonyottoboni1356]

Well done sir. I appreciate the comprehensive tour of the engineering areas.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@almirantefarragutandcalanf8643]

Great Sunday viewing , sit back relax and enjoy it

[@120Livi]

Pull up bar, so cool it got mentioned twice 😂

[@rasferrastfarian739]

Lovely explorer! Thank you for the tour Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@Pappawheely-4x4]

I really enjoy how much you appreciate the mechanics and design of everything. I do too.

[@ianpeacock1991]

That has to be one of the cleanest boate I've seen, the bildge is emaculate....

[@BertMerlin57]

Many good details... Just I think its not so wide.... Like the steampunk touch!.. Great tour Nick, thanks

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!
