I'm a big fan of Dutch-built yachts. Excellent engineering, superb design, and beautifully finished outside and in. While this boat may be an ocean crosser and benefit from the increased range of a single-engine, I see its use as a hardcore coastal cruising boat capable of motoring through inhospitable weather conditions in remote places (Newfoundland and Labrador come to mind as one example). As such, I would choose twins for the reduced draft and increased maneuverability. Alternatively, I would go with a hydraulic get-home system from a genset to power the main shaft if required. Thanks for the video!

[@linsen8890]

It's really a beautiful yacht. I love the lines of the design, and the range is excellent. If I could buy a trawler/explorer yacht, I would definitely consider this. It seems to be in the same class as Bering, Nordhavn, and some others, but being Dutch built, I think it would be a quality build (not to say those others wouldn't be).

[@michaelwilliams5234]

Very clean looking

[@dougtarbet6193]

Nice boat! Never heard of Sturier boats, I’ll check them out. Given the choice of twin or single engine, I prefer the economy of a single and reduced maintenance costs, more room in engine room, better stability as you can mount a single lower on the centerline. That said, however I would require an alternate means of propulsion in case of main engine failure.

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for watching 🙌

This is a very attractive trawler yatch, it would fulfill what I would want to do with her, travel the world. I would go for the twin engine version, I am a marine engineer by profession and spent around 12 years on merchant ships, diesel engines are most efficient run at around 80% of their full power output, so rather than having both engines running at about 50% or less to give you a good cruising speed just have one of them running at 80%, and alternate them on a daily basis. I am thinking of long passages here, ocean crossings. Obviously ther is the benefit of two engines in the remote occasion that you were unable to repair an engine on a passage. I would also fit large a alternator to each engine to charge a big bank of house batteries with inverters to do away with the need for running a generator while on a passage, the batteries could also provide sufficient power when at anchor with the generator automatically cutting in to charge the batteries. Lithium batteries would be the best option as they take up less space and charge faster, they do cost a lot more though.

[@williamwhaley7842]

You do present some very nice yachts! Trawler style yachts are my favorite!

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks 🙌 trawler yachts have been my favourite type of motor yacht for as long as I can remember.

[@MrRonnmaui]

Great design! Heavy duty by elegant too. I wonder how hard is it to get all the parts for these boats?

[@canucklehead0]

Hi John, thanks for taking the time to run down this Sturier's features for us. I have to say I love the range and the single engine set up, that said I wonder if it would be possible to configure a PTO system for the generator like that of the Northern Marine 57? Sort of the best of both worlds, you have the single engine running cost and range and just in case it has the security of being able to run the gen set as your get home engine if ever needed. Having something along those lines for a vessel with the build quality and the spirit of adventure that the DME 7 gives off would really shift a few hulls!!

What a great find! Beautiful boat

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for watching 🙌

[@michaelsasylum]

Very nice ship. Only thing I would change is extending the flybridge more forward and put a lot more solar on it, maybe a dual mode motor that could run on solar during the day to both extend it's range greatly and to keep things operating while at anchor fun time without having to fuel a generator.

[@skyjumperimagery]

Hi, I messaged you beforre on this video. The podcast bit at the end was of interest as I was a Marine Engineer in the merchant navy, starting as a Cadet and getting to Chief Engineer by the time I was twenty. I spent around 12 years at sea, with more time actually at sea in the merchant navy compared to the Royal Navy. Merchant shipping is driven by profit so to have a ship along side for a weekend doing nothing would never happen apart from when I was on an MOD charter. Anyway I have plenty of stories to tell if you are interested, I also took a lot of interest in what went on on the bridge, and we had no satnav in those days.

[@YachtBuoy]

Sure! Can you ping me over an email? [e-mail]

[@OrlandoPla]

Impressive .....

[@AlVlogs1603]

Looks a well built small ship.Always twin engines for me added security

[@kevinvandal8595]

The Aluship Vripack Explorer Vessel 79 is back on the market. I thought you did a video on her but could not find it so post it here. Kuiper Vripack Research Vessel 75 is also a nice vessel if your looking for a older ship that is for sale

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks!

[@mariomoreno5402]

Looks very capable.. 4,000 mile range. Wow., Just wow. But the Dutch are tops.

[@YachtBuoy]

🙌

[@mariomoreno5402]

Btw.. I saw you wonderful short on the Arksan... Cudos sir. Been craving an in-depth on that vessel and you definitely did not disappoint..

[@YachtBuoy]

That's is great to hear :-) Thanks for watching the Arksen video and for the feedback

[@patrickmolloy6994]

she's a gorgeous trawler yacht. I'd go for two engines very time. I couldn't imagine crossing an ocean with one engine ... I'd need to know I'd have a backup. one engine works if you're just cruising coast Lins - like om the Med perhaps.

[@kevinvandal8595]

Most world cruisers have singel main engine with a smaller wing engine as a back up. See nordhavns yachts

[@gerhardvanwaltsleben8944]

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

Nice . A New builder to me

[@MrRonnmaui]

Very nice video! Would like to see prices. Also, would be nice to see side by side summary of similar trawlers like the Bering, Allseas, and Altena and others.

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for watching and for the feedback 🙌

[@scott931]

Nice that the flybridge has a stripper pole.🤣

[@bsb11kat25]

Do like the Dutch style. Would be good with a enclosed flybridge and have a American style "country kitchen" were the bridge would be. (and twin engines for me :-) )

[@YachtBuoy]

🙌

[@johngauntlett4915]

If I ever could afford one it would have to be a twin engine. I know that they say having a wing engine is reliable but too slow to get back to Port if you're in the middle of nowhere. Also, with a twin engine you have more maneuverability when you go to dock and it unfamiliar port.

[@user-sn1xf7vj1r]

Какой красивый!

Hi, I hope you will make a video about Bering 180.

[@YachtBuoy]

The 180 certainly is a very unique design. I will see if there are enough renderings for a video 🙌

[@akomolafeoluwaseyi7015]

What's the price of this beauty?

[@easternwoods4378]

Probably in the 4 to 5 mil range

[@naiboz]

She’s a classy lassie

[@YachtBuoy]

🙌

[@Sniper-cb5bd]

Nice trawler, wonder what the price is?

[@easternwoods4378]

Probably in the 4 to 5 range

[@aungthuraphyo8496]

Wondering the same. Beneteau grand trawler 62 is around $3 mill and can only go just over 1k nm. If this BME 7 is the same price range with 4k nm range, then it's ez win.

[@jmsask]

IMO twin engines are better because you have a backup in case of a engine failure ✌️

[@LiveLifeLivTrucking]

Twin engines for redundancy purposes.

[@amsfountain8792]

What could be the price for this boat?

[@jjrichardson5434]

Can you do a video on FPB yacht 97

[@YachtBuoy]

Sure! I will see if I can find some video footage/images online (obviously I would prefer to film in person)

[@jjrichardson5434]

@@YachtBuoy thank you

[@wimschoenmakers5463]

If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much !! 🤣

😂 I might have To use that

[@tcoker6616]

No link to the builder?

[@easternwoods4378]

Easy to find. Cut and paste from the description. I like the "8" as a live aboard

[@roberttorres809]

Don’t wait for an invite to these boats. Get yourself over to a boat show and start filming them over there, then you’ll eventually get that invite that ur long for…

[@YachtBuoy]

Going to bimble down to the Southampton Boat Show this year so hopefully I will get some decent footage. Not sure if I will be able to get the drone up thou

[@mfbutzin]

Twin 350 horsepower engines, because when you need horsepower you need it! There is no substitute! They rate one engine at 400 horsepower yet with twins they give 250 horsepower, so if one engine goes down the boat is under powered! At least with twin 350’s it’s not so badly under horse-powered !

[@rebelliousraven]

15,000 gallons. Yikes, I'd hate to see the fuel bill.

[@kevinvandal8595]

Liters

[@rebelliousraven]

@@kevinvandal8595 either way it's still a hefty fuel bill. I guess if you can afford to buy the yacht you should be able to afford the gas ;)

[@stevehanberg2922]

Twin engines calmer the bigger the better

[@tcoker6616]

Are most of your scribers in Europe or the Americas?

[@YachtBuoy]

Last time I checked, around 70% were in the U.S 🇺🇸

[@sheepdog1102]

It’s okay but once you have seen a Bering nothing else compares.

[@lynkkillby4360]

What about Nordhavin

[@jjrichardson5434]

Or arksen

[@kevinvandal8595]

Bering is to big for me, you need a 3 persone crew to operate them. Till nordhavn 68 you can crew it as a couple

[@grantantoniuk612]

Let's see. At $2.00/liter X 15000=$30,000 to go 4000nm. No thanks.

[@oldschool5990]

The only question is what's the draft is she Bahamas and coastal inlet compatible 🥸🐈‍⬛
