Capelli Stradivari 43 - Tour a MILLION Dollar Maxi Rib with Dan Jones

[@fishtigua]

We've kinda done with the big open RIB market in the UK, it's just too bloody cold most of the time. That's why the cabin/deck boat sales of things like Axopar and Nimbus have gone crazy. Great as a dayboat/weekender type of thing that can be used all year round. The thing about RIBs, that some don't realise, is about the fabric (especially in white), is the maintenance and protection. Got to be tip-top to retain value. Thanks Dan, always enjoyable. Would have loved one of those up in Cairns.

Yes I would have a Nimbus C11 in the UK and then keep a Capelli in Mallorca and a Saxdor 400 in Barbados. I feel like the owners of these Maxi Ribs would just use for summer and then dry store it over the winter months to keep it looking good while they are away travelling. Glad you enjoyed and yes this boat in Cairns would be sweet!

Love that one Dan, impressive.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Cheers! Hope you liked our anchorage too

Dan, I've always thought ribs would be the best tender a superyacht could have especially on an exploration yacht. With dual outboard engines they would also be great for water sports.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Agreed John!

[@johngauntlett4915]

Dan, don't know what happened with the volume, seem to be fine on my Android phone but when I got to the house and watched it on my laptop I had to crank the volume way up. Then the commercials came on and they were loud as hell.

Thanks John, that's currently beyond y level of technical knowledge too. I'm studying the KZbin editing and production process this year so quality will improve.

no drink holders by the bow lounger?

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Not on this boat. Although the center of gravity appeared to be very low so she would be fine without drink holders in protected anchorages like where I am in this video.

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife drink holders are like condoms. better to have one and not need it, than need one and not have it.

[@CaptainReidl]

Wow, not bad ;-)

[@dielaufsocke7642]

I would rent such a boat for about 5-6 k€ per week together with another family in Croatia or Mallorca.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

That sounds like my kind of holiday!
