Starting Boat Life in a Renovated 1977 Hatteras 53 Motor Yacht (FULL TOUR)

[@MrAlbarry51]

Oh my goodness this episode is awesome! The ship is beautiful and the views are amazing. Thank you for taking us along with you. I can’t wait to see more.

[@johnbruenn8755]

My wife and I love this boat so much I’ve saved this video to my “Watch Later” for future reference. I have recently retired and we currently have a President Yachts 36 Sundeck. We love our boat but it’s not quite big enough to live on, so we are on the hunt for a Hatteras 53. We love the design. It is incredible what the previous owner did with this boat in your video. So many great ideas! We will soon be following suit. 😎👉⛴️

[@moore_2_explore]

So glad y’all had this opportunity! That boat is stunning!! Dave just noted that you have such masterful way of describing your experiences as well as your surroundings.😎

[@passportquinn.c5435]

Absolutely loved the boat tour! Thank you for taking us along. My husband is now dreaming of boat life. 😂

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Gorgeous boat! And I’ve seen a lot of boats - owned & lived on boats for 30 years and I worked in a boat yard / marina office for 12 years. That boat might be one of the nicest and beautifully decorated boat I’ve ever seen! It is a fun lifestyle, but yes a lot of work. We had our catamaran in Ft Lauderdale for a bit - super fun area to explore by boat!

[@joepepenyc]

It is super inviting. I love how the made it so classy AND comfortable.

[@catsfive]

What a wonderful boat. The bamboo decor down there would take time to get used to for me but! What a lot of great work there! Lovely

[@EatSeeRV]

Yes it's a great boat!

[@gingerzoe2431]

She could not stop smiling. You could tell she was excited to have this experience. Btw “large logs” made me spit out my tea: it was so dang funny. The new camera 📸 is dope. Awesome vid.

[@jasonsikora4893]

Great loop is on our bucket list.

[@scottehrlich6653]

Happy for you both. That’s an amazing yacht. I viewed it for sale. Glad you stayed connected with them and rescue pup. Cheers to your new year.

[@EatSeeRV]

That's cool

[@jesserevilla992]

You can make it happen; But a Marina slit is hard to come by and their at a premium today in both Miami Dade County or Broward. Your friends boat is beautiful; Like how they kept it old but new. Allot $ went into that yacht to refurbish. Love when folks visit the 305 and Florida in General 2021 and now in 2022 a big 🙌 to our Florida Governor for keeping the freedom!

[@NormaBusbeerealestate]

Beautiful boat , video and decor is so beautiful ! The bamboo is wallpaper ?

[@nateeckler3446]

This is a fantastic watch. We are currently contemplating living aboard our 53' Hatteras. Would love to get some pictures and video of the boat as we would love to do some of the same renovations. I love this!!!!

[@garretlewis4103]

Christine said the boat is right up her alley. Looks like fun!

[@natemeehan210]

The lazarette is a below deck storage compartment/room you would have access to from that area but that area is just called the aft deck

[@EatSeeRV]

Thanks for the tip!

[@empresswillis1971]

The interior is really nice for the age of the boats

[@EatSeeRV]

Stunning, right?!

[@thomasm.7058]

Just awesome, and a very nice boat... Enjoy it...

[@rebelliousraven]

Most boats don't "sanitize" what goes out, definitely not 1970s versions of boats. They macerate it and store it in a tank to be pumped out later or if out far enough at sea, pumps it out unchanged.

[@EatSeeRV]

Thanks for sharing

[@richwhilecooper]

@@EatSeeRV That's what the fish say.

[@estatejay]

boat is in great condition for her age. Thanks for this video!

[@EatSeeRV]

Yes, she's in great shape!

[@user-ye5gl3wn4c]

Thanks for this tour!

[@EatSeeRV]

Thanks for watching

[@debby6235]

Actually you were sitting in an enclosed cockpit. A lazarette is a storage space typically below the deck with a hatch or sometimes a door. Basically a storage space you wouldn’t want to sit in. Sorry 35 years of boating made me comment 🤷‍♀️

[@marcamusprime9513]

From Road to Sea! What a cool idea 😎

[@EatSeeRV]

Haha we quickly learned on this trip sea life isn't for us (if we're captaining) too stressful! But it's an adventurous way to travel for sure

[@TheHungryCubanAdventures]

Beautiful vessel. Enjoy the cruise

[@eradicator187]

There are two happy days with boat ownership. The day you buy it, and the day you sell it.

[@EatSeeRV]

And many days in between! Haha 😆 but I do know the saying

[@graham6165]

Obviously you've never been lucky enough or rich enough to own one

[@tjack49er]

I’ve owned a few and enjoy the refit process, it not profitable in the classic sense but the accomplishment and enjoyment are well worth it.

[@treashurehunter800]

Depends on the weather.😁

[@redfawnlily]

Thank you so much for this! We are setting ourselves up for boat life and we found this super informative in our research and got us even more excited about it. :D Do your friends also have a channel or social media?

[@EatSeeRV]

Awesome congrats on the move! 👏🏽 No they don't unfortunately

[@jaimedDR]

Great video and man, what a boat that is. Some real talent went into that restoration.

[@EatSeeRV]

It is a great boat!

[@willfarr2527]

Love the video! Great contrast between living on land and on the water. I see you have a Sony A7 IV. Video quality is amazing! Can you please share what else you are using - ie lens and filters etc? It would be greatly appreciated :)

[@EatSeeRV]

We'll be doing something on that soon, even if it's just a blog. We've only had the camera for 3 weeks now. So just getting used to it! But it's amazing!

[@willfarr2527]

@@EatSeeRV Ok great. I am looking at upgrading my A6600's right now and would love to know more about your setup. Basically your go-to lens that you pair with it and what you are using for audio. Again - great job!

Hi there! I'm a proud owner of a 1978 Hatteras 53' MY I would love to talk with your boat buddies about their experience and life aboard!

[@joepepenyc]

Nobody regrets their time living onboard.

[@redbeard7943]

It would be nice to see the boat not just the people talking.

[@Er1ch000]

Eatseerv did you all just visit a friends boat? Or buy a boat? I’m not sure from the video.

[@EatSeeRV]

Haha we're pretty clear about it in the video, but we were just visiting friends. This is their boat.

[@Er1ch000]

@@EatSeeRV man, that click baity title had me fooled. Fun video though.

[@johnclapperton5556]

Just a correction. It is a boat. If you can pick it up with a crane it is a boat if not then a ship. Submarines could be picked up with cranes so boats and as a tradition they are still called boats even though to big for cranes today.

[@viper7077]

Hi Dennis and Liz, What is the fuel capacity and range of the boat ?

[@TK-ol6hj]

If those Detroit motors don’t leak oil something is wrong

[@TheRealist86]

Before the owner re did it was it called the enchantment iv?

[@EatSeeRV]

Not sure?

I ask bc my late grandpa had one on Miami at the coral reef yacht club and it looks similar you say it was re done...just wondering I miss those times and my grandpa his name was Robert e bogle anyways have a good day I wont take up anymore of your time your yacht is lovely

We got a Sony A7-4 and it's a game changer! I don't know exact numbers. But older boats really aren't that expensive!

Never own a boat just make friends with a yacht owner and bring beer and pizza.

Good life advice!

[@jamesrichard9722]

You won't have cool decorative stuff laying around once you are underway Baby Cakes

[@EatSeeRV]

Idk who baby cakes is or who you felt that would be fitting to call. And they're not traveling the world in this just taking it on the great loop. Which this far hasn't been an issue underway.

[@joepepenyc]

Boat is over 55"LOA. Nothing is going anywhere. I know as I have a a similar size boat.

[@ernest795]

This wasn't a full tour...You did not show the master cabin/head, the forward deck or the fly bridge. Disappointing.

[@EatSeeRV]

Hahah we did show the fly bridge and there is no master head. Disappointing comment.

[@ernest795]

@@EatSeeRV LOL! You are not very bright are you? You only showed the fly bridge controls not the whole fly bridge so there is your first fail. Second fail is you did not show the forward deck. Third fail is these boats always came with 3 heads, 1 for each stateroom, In the video you said there is one in the guests stateroom you are staying in(which is located aft but forward of the master stateroom) and one in the master stateroom. The forward head was removed at some point to make way for the kitchen addition. You only showed the guest head. You also did not show the master stateroom…Fourth fail. Nice try on the attempted take down. Check the attitude next time landlubber.

[@chazford7399]

You barely showed the upper deck, waste of time
