Meet The Owners : Princess 40

[@r.a.monigold9789]

This can NOT be a 2002 - TWENTY YEAR OLD - boat! This is where true quality shines. Princess did a wonderful job producing the boat and Steve and Jan have done the same in bringing back the shine and that new boat smell. Way to go. Thanks for sharing...

[@DrangeDragRacingTeam1967]

Funny, I picked up my 2003 Princess 40 yesterday! Volvo Penta TAMD 63P with only 970 hours. Very Happy!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Good choice!

[@josephfrainetti9280]

I find "Meet The Owners" most interesting as always, thanks again, Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@brianunderwood3109]

Good stuff. I really enjoy the "meet the owners" episodes. Steve and Jan were great. They really lucked out on finding such a beautiful yacht at a great price. They'll soon be making great new memories, best of luck to them both. Cheers from Colorado.

[@Jetskicentral]

What a lovely couple! ! Love this one and love what they have done to that beautiful princess 👑

[@johningham4942]

Another really interesting and caring owner nick, who knows how to get the best out of an older boat that looks like a much younger one. They have done a wonderful, carefree upgrade and added a couple of beautiful touches to bring out the beauty of the wood and upholstery. This Princess 40 looks as though it has just come out the factory, it's a credit to the owners hard work and attention to detail that makes this boat worth around the £200K and a fantastic bit of kit to own!

[@seanogden927]

She's definitely scrubbed up well, looks really nice just like new. Love Steve and Jan they seem a really nice down to earth couple who enjoy their boating life. Great tour and interview Nick, thank you.

[@michaelcollums4197]

Nick once again your knowledge of Princess boats show why no one can even come close to talking about the joys of boating.

[@davetrythall9228]

Beautiful boat and a lovely couple. I wish them all the best on their future endeavours

[@mareewalker1096]

And this my friends is why i would only buy a princess! Simply the best! Happy sailing all🛥⚓

[@alanpotter3863]

Cheered me right up as i'm battling back from severe illness. Thanks Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Hope you’re feeling much better soon 🙂

[@jaimiemadden590]

What a nice yacht so well appointed and clean, wishing Steve and Jan many happy boating seasons Thank you Nick for your meet the owner series you find the nicest people to share their stories with us

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick, Steve and Jan. A good choice of motoryacht. Interesting history, many adventures to come. Great walkthrough and meet the owner. Thanks 😊

[@wideawaketotruth5301]

Absolutely stunning! I'm talking about the couple, exceptionally charming, most certainly brilliant attitude. My "KIND" of people.!"Everyday, is a school day". Quite compelling! The boat looks really, really tremendous as well! Loving that fly bridge. Princess consistently maintains the peak of the tier, when it comes to quality and customer service. Cheers from Fort Worth, Texas Rick!

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Great boat! Hope the owners have a lot of fun and safe travels in her!! thanks for sharing! 👍👍👊👊

[@georgezahorcak7764]

Splendid video! Jan and Steve are terrific. The boat was great also!

[@roydickinson8151]

Great owners and very honest about what they want for the future. Good luck to you both.

[@batch6792]

What a wonderful couple. They've done a terrific job on their boat, - looks fantastic. Nice one Nick. 😀

[@geoffreydawes4019]

A lovely boat owned by a lovely couple. Another great ‘Meet the Owner’ Nick. Aquaholic really is the best.

[@debbiejudd4933]

They are a lucky couple to own such a beautiful yacht. She's a great looking vacation home. Thank you all for a very informative tour.

[@colingratwick9239]

Lovely boat and lovely couple. A boat like that would do me nicely. Nice tour Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you kindly

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

Lovely couple and a very lovely boat.

[@keith-777]

Nice boat, nice, natural couple. They have got the boat just how they want it through a well thought out and sympathetic upgrade programme. I hope that they enjoy power as much as they did sail. Great video, as ever, Nick. 👍👍👍.

[@paulkennedy477]

Good stuff Nick, a very relaxed interview with a lovely couple of people, more 'Meet the owners,' please.

[@marchport]

Thank you to Steve, Jan, and Nick for this excellent “Meet the Owner!”

[@jaredwosmek455]

I love your “Meet the Owners” videos. The owners you interview are all so kind (as are you)…I love that. Great video as always, thank you 🙏

[@kevinbanham2429]

Fantastic meet the owners video as always. Steve and Jan have done a wonderful job adding little bits and pieces to bring this super yacht more up to date. Nice tour and a excellent interview thanks Nick and of course Steve and Jan 👍🏻

[@kieranharriman7055]

Really do enjoy these videos. These guys again appear to be genuine, sincere and friendly. Their boat has been transformed and now looks so clean and modern. I’d be proud to own that boat. I think these videos though are more about the people. Well done Nick. Another very enjoyable video.

[@grahamlavis5742]

Thanks Nick, another great couple and interesting story.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@martinosborne2842]

You manage to meet the most lovely people nick👍👍

[@RR-or5ip]

These two are so nice and down to earth and what a beautiful yacht.

[@carlbeeston3268]

Brilliant meet and greet, great boat.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Many thanks!

[@keithhilton1564]

What a really interesting couple, a beautiful boat. The upgrades are wonderful she looks lovely.

[@garethlewis1006]

Catching up! Great owners, lovely boat, great video, all good 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@maryholder3795]

I'm really enjoying your interview of the owners and their boats. The care and love of the boats and sailing shines through in all of the interviews. More please.

[@darylpike8547]

What really nice couple 💑 they have a really nice little yacht! 😊

[@jamarie1972]

Great tour, lovely couple Cheers Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@adamisherwood6708]

As a Princess is my dream I’m very pleased to see a beginner on the road. Thanks.

[@javierechevarria1548]

Another great video Nick. You master the recording, the editing and more importantly your ability to select the people and the boats. Not essy to do a 45 minutes video keeping the audience engaged. Congratulations !! I love the tone of the interview, the couple is very humble and down to earth. Brilliant to see people sensitive with money, not showing off and passionate about boating.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Much appreciated!

[@oneslackr]

Nick, thank you for the tour. Their Princess is beautiful & Steve & Jan are a lovely couple. I enjoyed hearing about their boating background.

[@joshem16]

Brilliant meet the owner - and what such lovely people and the boat..... amazing

[@gordonsimpson3235]

Another good episode Nick. I really enjoy these 'Meet the owners' sessions. What a super lovely couple....I hope they get endless fun and memories with Siren. I think I remember this boat on the broads (I used to live there years ago). She is looking really ship-shape!

[@anthonypaterson7066]

Lovely boat and lovely couple. Once again Quality builds are proving long lasting. By todays standards probably over engineered, but more modern craft will bot stand the test of time.

[@leebrackstone9256]

Beautiful boat and fabulous owners. Nice to hear the journey to where they come from. We are just starting our journey ( not with a 40ft boat of course) but as you say it doesn’t matter what size you are your still out boating and enjoying the water

[@scottprice8994]

That is a very nice boat. It seems perfect for a couple who have some friends visit occasionally.

[@paulgolding1009]

This was a great video showing what you can get for your money and the minimal work required to make it look great. I know it’s not cheap but a great deal all the same. Just shows that older doesn’t mean on scrap heap. These meet the owner videos are really useful. Thanks Nick again as usual.

[@raymondmalone9721]

Great boat and lovely couple

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Sensitively restored and upgraded a bit. I LIKED the interview.

[@multiworx]

What a lovely couple, would love to see more of meet the owners,

[@4cds14]

I know nothing about boats but I found this really interesting & what a lovely couple. Thank you for fantastic content.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching it! :)

[@dazzler5012]

Another quality video from the master of this!

[@joesola4195]

Loved getting to meet the owners and listening to their boating stories, sail vs. power. Such a beautiful boat they have.

[@nicbennett6554]

Big thanks to Steve and Jan, plus you Nick! Really enjoyable video of a lovely yacht, with very nice subtle upgrades and at a very reasonable price.

[@wareidav]

Great "Meet the owners" Nick.. Lovely couple... Lovely boat (Really ? A 2002 !!!) I`m amazed by the condition and the quality.. The gift was and is a lovely thing for you to do. More please.

[@austriaskiholiday8722]

Nice couple, Great boat, this is a boat that I was booked in for a viewing, then told it was under offer, Glad it went to a good home,

[@JanetteMccleave]

Hi, we are looking at a similar boat just now, I would be interested to know what this was selling for if you don’t mind me asking?

[@ianmiller5890]

Really interesting, meet the owners, Steve and Jan, nice couple. Very good to get insight to boat life.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Filmed another one with Steve just today!

[@martynwaddington7703]

What a fabulous example of what can be achieved, all credit to Steve and Jan they should be very proud, clearly very hands on, they’ve really done credit to an excellent example, great vid Nick, one of best for a while, 👍

[@ianyoung9837]

Steve and Jan got such a good boat for the money. Some very good updates to.

[@jackirichard414]

Very nice looking boat! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Fantastic people, fastastic boat. They are bound to have great times aboard that Princess 😀I must say the interviewer still ROX for the lord 😄Thanks

[@marchport]

Beautiful boat! It absolutely looks brand new.

[@jks6739]

What a lovely couple & beautiful boat.

[@benjackson359]

What a lovely boat and a lovely couple. Steve seemed very comfortable talking in front of the camera too. Can tell that he is quite hooked on power but Jan is still undecided 😀

[@nickbitten9910]

Great video Nick and the owners seem sensible and grounded.Nice to see an older boat and what a boat it is. Smashing.

[@paulroberts237]

What fantastic boat for the money, very well done to that nice couple. Wow. Lovely video Nick, really interesting what can be done to an older boat, looking really good. Thanks again for your efforts Nick .

[@Zepherian]

Princess make such nice boats. Cool couple, got a good vibe out of the whole video. Best of luck to them on their travels.

[@matthewsexton5306]

An amazing and interesting session totally supported by the openness of the owners and your relaxed style and knowledge!!! Thanks to you all!

[@jimmybeeney8657]

Beautiful boat and a lovely down to earth couple. Love these vids. Keep em coming

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you! Will do!

[@mohammednadeemanwar2213]

Wow lovely boat. Excellent condition and sympathetic repairs and upgrades. Thanks Nick. 👍

[@johndboran]

What a great couple of folks!! They got a great deal on that boat and the dollars they spent after the purchase were wisely chosen. I'm fairly certain Steve was some sort of senior executive in a large corporation. I would bet Jan was a physician. Either way, they certainly have earned the retirement they are enjoying and I am one of the many thousands of jealous viewers. Greetings from Texas....John B

[@colinturner4158]

Usual very enjoyable vlog Nick lovely boat as you would expect with a princess and should I ever get lucky I’d love to have a princess 40. Thanks again Nick

This episode was interesting, fun, and well worth seeing. The boat was really well looked after. Nick's interview style is very involved, and he let's people speak. Can't wait for the next one. Have a "aquaholic" summer ☀️

Lovely couple ,so interesting. Great content and change from looking at superyatchts. We’re do you find these people Nick?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

They're normally AQUAHOLIC fans who have got in touch 🙂

[@grahamcoffer1720]

@@AQUAHOLIC just one more question,the exotic boat shows you visit to review many superyatchs,do you apply in advance for access to the vessels? Also Princess boatbuilders,have you visited yard where they're building superyatchs . Thanks

[@AQUAHOLIC]

@@grahamcoffer1720 Yes, a LOT of pre show planning goes into boat shows and everything is arranged in advance. I have indeed visited the Princess factory many times (I used to sell them years ago) and you can see some of it in this video (make sure you watch the last few minutes in particular) kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3a3q4SJnLeAgbs

[@grahamcoffer1720]

@@AQUAHOLIC thanks ,jst watched yr video of Princess yard I'd no idea the high demand for such exotic craft! Many thanks

[@CraigNiel]

Really enjoyed that, Nick. Especially it being a longer video but it flew by! Great owners and I have a daughter with Cerebral Palsy, wheelchair bound so when Steve said he retired and worked with a charity for disabled children I had a wee smile on my face. Which does bring me to a question I've wanted to ask you for a while. Have you ever seen a boat that's been completely adapted for wheelchair access in all living areas? I'd love to see a tour of one! I know it would cost a fortune and I'm not looking to buy one, just curious.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Have a look at my Guy Couach 25 Metre video, you'll notice a wider than usual passerelle and a lift that accesses all decks.

[@CraigNiel]

@@AQUAHOLIC Thanks Nick, I actually think I seen that as it came to me after I posted but couldn't remember if it was fully accessible but now you've named the video I shall head over and view it again, cheers pal. 👍

[@CraigNiel]

@@AQUAHOLIC Looks like it was the Guy Couach 35m with the lift in it, very impressive but it's not fully accessible and I'm not sure if they can be. If I ever win the lottery I'm going to get Princess to custom build me one with access to all living space and on/off for a wheelchair and of course you'll be invited for a full tour Nick!

[@johncrocker1019]

Great review. Lovely owners and good back story.

[@colinbrown4482]

Nick Another delightful video, you are a superstar. Nice couple, Steve and Jan They are very fortunate to own such a vessel, but all credit to them, they did the homework and everything else associated Good to see that Princess still do the right thing in looking after the owners, whether this be new or used, along with the materials they are using. Tried and Tested, Top Quality. Blowing my own trumpet, i was correct about the choice that Nautistyles made, and boy are they milking it dry, and will continue to do so. I do like the Bering brand though, just as much as Nordhavn, I would probably like them more if i could get the same financial deal as what the Nautistyles are probably getting And yes that was a jealous dig
