£525,000 Yacht Tour : 2007 Hardy 50

[@kingkea3451]

That bit with the train made me smile - your passion for boating and trains is heartwarming and really cool to see :)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Had me yelling at the screen, uhh I wanna see a train, glad you delivered.

[@harridavies1815]

I haven’t seen a steam train many times, but I love them

[@MrJohnvr]

I wait for the finger wave in every video when passing a mirror just right. Makes me smile every time.

[@steve-marsh]

I'm in love with this boat!

[@ethanridd9033]

The one thing I dislike about this boat is the lack of mirrors. It means we get less Aquaholic waves 👋. This boat is seriously nice for the price. I could almost see myself living on it! Thanks for the tour Nick.

[@martinkulik9466]

Iive where? Mooring it costs how much

[@MarcUK]

Now that you mention it Ethan, I don't think I've seen any rear view or side wing mirrors on any of the yachts that Aquaholic has show cased. xD

[@AdamHalvo]

4:48 is one! Made me smile

[@paulwalker2133]

Someone who takes themselves a bit too seriously might have done a second take. I absolutely LOVE that you just rolled with it and enjoyed the smashing distraction...

[@Zarih67]

It was great! Love how genuine he is. Go with the flow. :)

[@eaunan]

I noticed that, too and thought it was an excellent touch leaving that bit of magic and friendliness in the video instead of editing it out! Before mentioning it, the scene was immediately recognizable from your house video... and the change in perspective -- perfect!

[@alexanderlawrie5928]

A real machine.Well done for showing it.

[@DangerMouse1990]

I don't own nor do I ever plan on owning a yacht, but I probably spend more time watching your videos than any others. Thank you and keep it up

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Great to hear!

[@princevegeta9149]

Why not tho??

[@neilkay159]

Me too! Watch all of your vlogs Nick.Keep up the good work.

[@Richard-pe4cx]

putting that heater in the engine room speaks volumes for the owner and the care that has gone into the boat ; we went round a hardy 50 at one of the boat shows in Southampton beautiful bit of kit .

[@kecronin4987]

I'm glad you showed the train

[@T2roxT2]

The boatiest of boaty boats! What a beauty, i need 425,000 quid now. Thank you for the lovely tour and greetings from Poland, Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Hey there Poland!

[@doge9557]

Always nice to open youtube to be greeted with a new aquaholic video.

[@hunterf6944]

my favorite yacht tour

[@BucsFTW]

A Few Thoughts: Dammit Nick... Where has this gem been hiding? I thought I had seen ALL of yours, but NO...! I've been coming to the realization that I like trawlers. A lot. And the comes the beauty with the worst boat name ever. EVER. And I love her! This is "the one". I could retire on her. Live on her. Entertain on her. And she's a 50 footer Nick...! The biggest craft I've had the pleasure of enjoying is a 52 footer, and I swear it was HALF the size/accommodations of this slice of heaven. I want THIS boat so when the weather sucks, my other yachting pals will say "Terrible weather... Let's call Dave - you KNOW he'll be going out...!" Your tours are like epic cinema... I have to watch them all THREE times - just so I catch all the nuances. If ever there was a boat that I wanted to see a sea trail for... This is it...! 30 friggin' knots...?!? This does NOT look like a 30 knot boat Nick...! The Main Saloon/Helm - Yeah... What a damned design...! The ultimate owner/operator...! No high gloss "show boat shit"... Just classy purposefulness. It doesn't have to be shiny to portray "quality", as you put it. I think understated speaks volumes... What the hell excuse for a TV pops up out of that tinny little cubby...?!? Why didn't they forsake the storage cabinet (left) and drop a 40" in there? SMFH The Aft Master Cabin is what I'm all about... Friggin' PERFECT...! (And why I could reside on this craft) The Galley - Again... Perfect...! I can whip up 4-star cuisine in that galley, not for four... but for SIX...! Thanks to a brilliant use of space for a FIFTY FOOT BOAT...! The Engine Room - Okay... You're not going to stand in it. You ARE going to pay someone else to service those badass beasts under the hood...! As usual... Brilliant tour Nick...! Cheer Mate...!

[@derekwilkinson7939]

Now that’s my kind of boat. Beautiful.

[@Eric-469]

Nick- "'That's the steam train" Me- Immediately starts a comment asking if that's the one that trundels by the house that was recently showcased. Nick- Reads my mind.

[@OrangeAgent5]

You are not alone with this... *same here* 😆

[@steve-marsh]

When you talk about going away on this for a few months, I'm like, oh no, I'll go away on this for the rest of my life!

[@willemakit48]

Thanks for that. Agree with Ethan, this is a nice boat for the money, nice family boat. Nice steam train and boat as well!

[@wotrulke5868]

Very impressive boat 🛥 and great sound effects 🚂🚂

[@dwrowley]

a great boat and very good condition for the age, a lot of boat for the money

[@sithius99]

I can't even afford a house let alone a boat, but I still find myself clicking on every single new video Aquaholic posts and watching the whole tour! Another great vid.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like them!

[@jonathanmeunier3177]

Same here :) !

[@AgentRafa]

Now that's a proper yacht. Thank you for the tour.

[@wesleyingram4703]

Great boat and tour Nick!!

[@janicesullivan8942]

Always convenient to have an internal ladder to the fly bridge. Love the woodwork with the blue accents, very shipshape.

[@markperrins9485]

Lovely boat nick. Great tour aboard. That would be the boat to live aboard and travel Europe and the med.

[@markperrins9485]

Hey nick. Fancy doing a grand video tour of the utterly transformed Grandezza 27OC. Perhaps we could take her out in the Solent. She is far removed from the original factory spec of the one you would of driven. Perhaps it’s the same one. Not many down the Solent. In fact I only know of one, ours. A few down Poole I think. Mark.

[@jimjam8149]

Fantastic review and wonderful boat as always

[@vannor6531]

This is the type of boat I'd buy if I win the lottery - another great video Nick, thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@joshuaperrie6174]

What a treat. That’s so cool you got to see the steam train.

[@TheSteve1175]

Wow, what a boat. Steam is clean. 😁

[@c5back9]

Seeing and hearing the lovely steam train was an unexpected bonus. Thanks!

[@JimmyTRUELOVE]

Been here since less than 10k subs.. amazing to see the growth, will be at a million before 2022.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Hope so!

[@tonygriffiths2485]

Not so flash as other boats, but strong and functional. Really nice one, thanks :)

[@lukethetrucker1]

I’ve watched all your videos and as soon as I heard the train whistle I knew it was from one of you previous video about that home. I love how you showed the train too instead of deleting it.

[@jacrjames]

There's been lots of luxury lately but this what I like, real deal ocean cruisers. looking forward to the next Nordhaven

[@dancindan84]

My Grandmother was from Dartmouth, and I got to go visit her family there over 30 years ago. Caught crabs down by that harbour with my Great Uncle (my wife loves when I tell people that). Thanks for the boat tour and bringing back some memories.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Check out my River Dart walk video! :)

[@TheDarkrelic]

Great review, again! Beautiful boat. At one point I was waiting for you to say "but wait, there's more!".

[@AntonKramer]

I really love this kind of ships, it screams "let's go there and everywhere " and not wait for favourable weather conditions in the marinas. The two chart tables make it clear that this is not a typical leisure yacht. And again an excellent review that only can be done by Aquaholic. A good and interesting review is not only about summarizing the specs, performance and details. There is much more than that in boating, and you show that with a little trainspotting. !

[@bigboy6704]

I love your videos. honestly can't get enough

[@RW-vt8up]

That’s amazing once again great tour

[@alismith6353]

That marina looks beautiful! Always love to see a hardy! 👍

It really is!

I always love trawlers, thanks Nick

It's amazing that this channel has managed to keep uploading brilliant content during the current times. Keep up the great work!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks, will do!

[@mike2uleynomad375]

Hardy by name, Hardy by nature. Love this Trawler ticks all the boxes for me. Proper craftmanship, Interior doesn't look like its come from a flat pack, classic lines, just beautiful. Thanks for the vid Nick, Awesome.

[@rasferrastfarian739]

Lovely boat! - thank you Nick (also loved seeing the train especially after seeing that house!)

[@NaughtyNimitz]

Some of the charms of these videos, is Nick showing other nice things that happen to pass/drive/float by.

[@notrut]

Wow! a mini SPADA Nick? £425,000 ... Hmmm, if I sell the house, and the cars, and the Caravan, and the motorbike, and Mrs goes on the game ... Er, I still won't have enough ... Humpf. But thanks for the tour!

[@tonycollins7965]

Another great video Nick, thankyou. I much prefer this sort of boat to the over styled flashy types that seem to be popular now. Something like a GB49, a Fleming 55 or this woulkd suit me just fine. Sadly as an impecunious pensioner, I will just have to keep dreaming.

[@andrewleatherman4931]

The coloring on the outer hull of this Hardy is beautiful. The helm is excellent with the suspension seats (usually see those in over the road haulers) and its general layout; small, efficient and has the perfect cup holders for my mug of coffee and some water. Now this is a boat (even from 2007) that I’d buy if that were possible. Another great Aquaholic style video!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like it!

[@MrPink-]

The Princess beside you man.... thing of beauty, love those boats. Cheers Nick for a great review

Princess 55 I believe - a full tour of one on AQUAHOLIC of course!

[@gabrielchristianharsono4666]

couldn’t had enough yacht tour videos, you’re absolutely the perfect man for the job. Your video is indeed the most interesting one to watch for buying references. I can’t find any yacht review videos that are as thorough as yours. keep up the great work :)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like them!

[@Ariisgood]

Nick, you are a gem of a human. The anometer or whatever it was you were pointing out cracked me up...I have no idea what it is, but you're the person that always points that stuff out, and I'm so happy you do. EASILY one of the best channels on youtube in my opinion.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You’re very kind 🙂

[@timroden6617]

glad you finished the house video.

[@BitcoinClubMalta]

Superb as usual :) steam boats and all weather trains are one of a kind

[@jamarie1972]

Lovely boat, nice to take down the coast of France etc into the Med for the summer. Cheers Nick, we are of to Dartmouth today haven’t been there for quite a while now since lockdown.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Have fun!

[@MalvinPreece]

Love the boat. REALLY Love the Train though!!

[@angelikalaser7778]

Great to see you're sponsored! Wonderful presentation amd a great boat as always

Thanks!

[@tep1003]

I love the trawler style boats. This one has been maintained and cared for very well it looks like.

[@2490debrick]

Stunning boat looks like loads of fun... Superb video! Scaring me again with those steps climbing aboard though lol!

[@daniellauper8115]

When it comes to serious boating, there's nothing like a trawler. I think I urgently need to visit this idyll. Beautiful, the place to be.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Check out my Kingswear walking tour

[@SteveStevenson10]

I can't get over how nice and polite he is

[@zzanatos2001]

That's how he gets access to all those superyachts. His manners are impeccable, and he is just an all-around nice man who seems to have a positive outlook and enjoys what he does.

[@robashton8606]

Every time I think I might have been converted to something fast and more "showy", a video with a boat like this or a Nordhavn comes on and I'm de-converted. The idea of a boat you can fuel up, stock with supplies, then just sail away for months on end is extremely appealing. And this one goes like the Millennium Falcon by trawler yacht standards too!

[@chunkychinn]

Can`t sleep, was really peed off until I logged and YES another Aquaholic production. Thankyou Admiral Nick, brilliant. Love the Royal waves you do! Love this little ship, looks extremely well cared for and a steal of a price. Until the next one, thankyou very much indeed.

[@brook316]

There we go Nick, a nice hefty boat. 6 knots all day, half way round the world.

[@sweetfreedomGB]

What a lovely vessel, nicely Grand Banks-esque.. I really do like the internal F/B stairs, something I wish I had on my boat.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Got a classic style Grand Banks coming soon!

[@sweetfreedomGB]

@@AQUAHOLIC really..very much look forward to that!

[@waheijnen]

Hi Nick , have seen a lot of your videos with new yachts and they are very nice looking yachts , but the more i see the older style yachts , the more i like it .The older ones has so much more character inside and out . Yes , i really love this one !!

[@steeldragonclaw]

Since discovering your channel some time back in January, I've come to enjoy the variety of boats and yachts you show us here. I know I'll never be able to afford any of these yachts, but it's still awesome to get to see them inside and out. Having said all that, this yacht is truly different from ones you've toured in the past, but still clearly very well-maintained by the owners. I don't know what it is, but the wood, the light carpet and the dark blue pillows all seem to compliment each other perfectly. On that note, stay safe Nick, and I'll look forward to seein' you again in the next tour video.

[@stevenkerwick9108]

Great soundtrack in the background

[@petersmith8134]

One word describes this boat for me, "Class". What a truly beautiful boat. Lovely high back lounge in the Saloon area which you don't often see.

[@nashvilletljc5904]

Just like a little boy. Train Train- I love it.🤩never too old for trains.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You got that right!

[@gervers]

Absolutely brilliant blue water boat! So versatile and perfectly liveable on for extended periods! Loved the steam train and steam boat interludes too! Lovely part of the country.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@glord49]

Great video. Stunning boat.

[@jamesrodrigues7391]

Thank you for the walk around.

[@54spatula]

Love it, love it. The older ones have all the charm and character. You could imagine reading a book or watching an old movie in the living area on a rainy Afternoon.

[@johnpeel6601]

Thank you for the tour Nick. That is one serious, fantastic and immaculate vessel. Moored in one of the most wonderful UK locations. Have done the round robin trip steam train to Paignton, bus to Totnes and river boat back to Dartmouth. Takes a while but well worth it.

[@robertfrost1683]

Really Proper !! I noticed there were NO squeaky floors !! Great little " fast trawler" !

[@matthewsalzman1684]

You're definitely the Bob Ross of yacht reviews!!!

[@adidc]

I Think I'm inlooove. Can't believe i missed this video. I was under the impression I've seen all of you're uploads. This boat is just great. Out of all the "the little ship feels" this is by far the best, if you ask me.

[@harryblox760]

This is one of the nicest layouts I've seen of this style boat. Love how open it all is.

[@arekpetrosian4965]

Nice looking boat. I can easily see living aboard her for quite a while. And loved seeing the steam train mentioned in the house tour, chugging by a couple of times!!

[@YachtBuoy]

I wonder why that antenna is on the aft-port quarter and not on the radar mast? It is not often that you see a dome located there. I love Hardy's - they are like the 4x4's of the sea. If like me, you love punching through big waves then you cannot go wrong with a Hardy!

[@jwhitaker1507]

Very nice! Thanks again Aquaholic!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@simongood9460]

Yeah! another barometer. And beside that what a great boat, the engine room is testiment to how well this has been looked after. And, it is I believe a Norfolk firm? And that alone gets my vote :-)

[@sneaky_banana7741]

I love these shiplike boats, way better than some modern sportyachts

[@britishknightakaminininja1123]

The only thing I didn't catch in this (if you mentioned it) was an idea of the range? What I love seeing most is the explorer and live-aboard boats, so this Hardy 50 was right up my alley, just like the gorgeous Nordhavns are. But, of course, this one didn't seem as well equipped for duration away from port as many of the Nordhavn vessels, (I always notice their extra capacity for supplies and freezers), so I'm imagining that the fuel capacity and thus range was also lesser? Keep up the excellent work. Your channel has been an absolute godsend this year. Vicariously exploring boats and dreaming of exploring the world living aboard a boat has been the perfect antidote to isolation and social distancing, so thank you. Your videos have helped keep me sane (or at least less insane than otherwise) when cabin fever strikes.

[@pauln2141]

Absolutely without a doubt my favourite boat! The timber inside made it feel a bit dated, but I wouldn't care. I fell in love as soon as I saw the outside...I've been waiting for something like this and you haven't disappointed as always. Thank you so much.....mind running the engines for 10 minutes would empty my bank account, hehe.

[@pauln2141]

Pasiphae!...your presentation style is much more fluid now. :) Also found this, must be terrifying to see this thing coming at you like a gun boat! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWOVdKKMZ6ytoJI

[@gbart2679]

A great insight to a special boat, wonderful. Thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrPeteJMc]

Great again Nick. I just love these more traditional craft. You'll now be having people wanting you to ride the train and point out the sights of interest on the way.

[@yves1551]

Very nice tour, impressive boat (or ship?) . I learned from your channel that boats that are around 10-15 years old very often are good value for money. Especially compared to bigger scale newly built yachts. My value for money rating in this case (on a 1- 10 scale) would be a 9.

[@Zarih67]

Oops, steam train! I love how genuine you are and explain the sound in the background. Lovely. And this is a lovely boat and affordable. Would be a perfect boat for "normal" people. :)

[@crazyjay7676]

[@Bobbobbob678]

Love you Aquaholic!!! From Aussie😉

[@robertgrafham9336]

Thanks Nick, that was great, this Hardy 50 tour was a beautiful example of a trawler style displacement yacht and its a truly delightful boat, and one can easily appreciate the practical enjoyment such a vessel as this can give to the owner, family and friends. The duel steam engine inclusions was a wonderful nostalgic complement to yet another great video, very well done and thanks again for your dedication, with another great production.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi Nick,awesome vlog,serious bit of kit that one,would it have been around the million mark when new, Stay safe, Cheers

[@p5yman1970]

Could u maybe do a video on the different classes of sea craft , you mentioned that this one is class A, maybe show some different examples for inshore , ocean going etc?

[@chrisroberts1917]

You know you’re an Aquaholic when you check the page every day to see if there is a new video! Great video as always.

Lovely boat,sturdy,stylish and spacious....could see myself pootling about on it for months at a time...loved the little study nook...as always an informative interesting and comprehensive tour!!!

Not for me but I think this is a terrific video. Really get a sense of the boat.

[@MrCherrybottom]

Nice little surprise how you welcomed the stream train.

[@didgerb72]

Loved the Steam train Nick. That is a lovely trawler yacht. Great price, and a good layout.

[@mickeyj71hp]

Thank you for your videos Nick. You are a joy to watch, even if I didn’t love yachts. You deserve your own international show. Your demeanor is much appreciated in these difficult times. God bless good sir!
