Fairline Squadron 58 owner's upgrade | £90k designer refit by Setag Yachts | Motor Boat & Yachting

[@lajucb]

I just love Fairlines of this era, all those lovely curves. Great boat, brilliantly updated, great to see. Good luck to Setag!

[@maxnex7676]

Very nice restoration, well done to Setag for doing such a job in such a short time.

[@chriswhite4915]

These guys are going to do extremely well. I can just tell from this video they dont cut corners and everything is done right, add that to the fact they have so many years experience and contacts within the main manufacturers. Superb.

[@superyachtchef]

I'm disturb by how impressively well presented this vlog is and the refit skills of Setags - both deserve 🎖🎖🎖

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Not only adding longevity and value to an otherwise unwanted boat, but generating employment where none existed. WIN WIN WIN. That last "WIN" was for the very fortunate new owner - a new yacht at a bargain price (relatively speaking). Thank you for doing this AND for sharing. Good job all...

[@bikersoncall]

4:30 Nice detail with the upholstering, great looking and with the rolled edges, and piping, excellent.

[@bjornhojgaard]

Nice! Every big yachting community needs a company like this. I know a “Setag” in Hong Kong would do extremely well!

[@nickwebb9290]

Am sure I’m alone alone wishing Setag every success for the future. A great review as always MT&Y 👍

[@hugoandreae3495]

Thanks for your kind comment

[@stanspch1]

What an amazing transformation, that is one beautiful motor yacht, if I’m not mistaken the legend that is Jim Davidson has recently had his yacht made over by the same company. Very nice walk through. 🇬🇧😉👍🇬🇧

[@paulroberts237]

Wow Hugo….that transformation is fantastic. Five weeks and £90k seems too good to be true!!! ( of course it is) . That boat looked a wreak before. I know it’s hard not to make it into an advert for Seatag but what a great job.

[@jeremyevans9521]

Wow, what a fantastic job on this refit. It really does look like a brand new yacht!

[@CYBERBOIUK]

For those wondering as of 2024, a 2007-2009 Squadron 58 goes for around £370-400k in a weathered condition, £90k for a refit and recondition of everything will easily be recovered, it's fair to say this boat is easily worth around £500k depending on the engines.

[@jfmjfm2008]

Great job - Setag are very impressive. It's my old boat Hugo - hull 201. I bought her new in 2008 at Southampton boat show (she was exhibited there) then I sold her summer 2010. Great boat. I wasn't responsible for the orange - the third owner did that! Setag need to figure out a way to work away from Plymouth. Plenty of boats in the Med could be refitted, but the delivery to/from Plymouth makes it uneconomic.

[@adrianthorpe8005]

john must maid you said see your old boat like that do you still have the 78

[@hugoandreae3495]

I had heard it was your boat. Can’t imagine you’d ever let it get that tired though 😆

[@bigcity2085]

She's known as a sturdy seaworthy girl, but...I hear the creaks...you can't get her all set in five weeks. No way. Cosmetically, apparently ,it's a well done job, but....she's not really restored/refitted...she's nicely refreshed. Not knocking it. They were great boats. You have to love the interior layout..and they plowed thru it all pretty well;a good hull..well before sea-keepers. By all means, keep her going. She looks lovely.

[@darthkek1953]

I'd seen this on Aquaholic but didn't catch they'd only taken 5 weeks. Very impressive.

[@davidbobo9740]

Impressive . You missed the secret cabinet on the left side of the galley leads to a hiddin storage. I've seen this one on Aqua. love that new style what you did.

[@strider6920]

Nice refit. Looks much more modern in its decor.

[@ghostindamachine]

That's an outstanding refit and sales pitch :) I wish them good fortunes!

[@patriciab3739]

Brilliant Vlog.... Setag have done an amazing job... does make you think twice before upgrading the boat. I wonder if they offer partial upgrades . i.e. the living area only etc ?

[@hugoandreae3495]

They will do as much or as little as you ask for.

[@24th1879]

What a lovely boat and what a great job Sea Tag have done. I love the big The Fairlane's of this era, early to mid 2000's they are my favourite. I prefer the central lower galley with the utility room to the modern rear galley set up that seems to be in vogue these days. Even if I could afford a newer boat, If I had the money this is what I would buy and have it totally SeaTaged to my own specifications.

[@mrexumas]

Why buy new when you can do this?…..absolutely stunning🙌🏻

[@bbqreunie984]

A nice job. But what about the engines. Does Setag also service or a revision of the engines. And replacing old video and TV equipment like the antennas, receivers etc. ?

[@hugoandreae3495]

They can do all that too. It just depends on what you want doing and available budget

[@edsbloggingcom]

Good proposition! Nice work too!

[@davidallen9526]

Job Well Done by SY! Looks wonderful. She is a fine new looking girl.

[@31crazyice]

Seems like a quality job, but not very design oriented are they?

[@kokomo9764]

Now all I need is a boat.

[@maxdalton1972]

Lovely job but that squeaky floor would irritate the non deaf

[@slacktones]

Thank you

[@robertmichaeldevine4183]

Superb job. Its a new boat 👌

[@jakoflynn2560]

Nice work

[@steadytube]

seatag are absolutely killing these refits. looks like a brand new boat.

[@mrdiavel4807]

Nice , but you need a good base yacht to start with , fairline had a really good quality build back in the day the 58 was being made . I would probably not like to try doing this on a cheaper build ergo some of the French or Italian main stream builders , the quality of engineering to start with is only so so , I think the costs rebuilding some of it would be prohibitive .

[@harrypalmer6228]

Would have sorted out that annoying creaky floor in the lounge whilst re-doing the carpet - would drive me crazy.

[@fearnsey8800]

So 2 sofas a bed, a polish, some fabric wall coverings a microwave and a rattle can on the fly bridge steering wheel and table £90 k plus !! and he know what to say when you asked the price of the original craft ! Think we all need to invest in this company, I can see the market for people who have no time to sort stuff, its a turn key solution but seems expensive to me.

[@michaellennox7801]

Great work

[@lgriestra]

Wow! Great job.

[@MrPantss]

Absolutely stunning, what about the engines?

[@hunter6719]

Engine's have been buffed out

[@Alex-cw3rz]

Brilliant Video

[@dospalmascb]

It’s a beautiful refit. The embarrassing state of that boat was unbelievable, I’m sure the new owner got an absolute bargain. Not sure about the branding on the upholstery, sometimes less is more.

[@hugoandreae3495]

It was the original owner who arranged for the refit, although he has now put it up for sale

[@nauticusyachting]

Loving it ! Go Setag Yachts !

[@stanislaspayet7868]

How about fuel and fresh water capacity

[@mortenberg2897]

Hmmmm… Not a unique refit in my opinion. Lot’s of companys can do this. I think the Brabus comparison was a bit generous ……

[@hugoandreae3495]

That’s their ambition but I agree that it takes more than one decent refit to justify that comparison

[@JMc.D]

‘Sounding a little bit like a commercial there’. You are the press and he is showcasing his product. So yes, to point out the obvious, this is a commercial for them and in return you get content and clicks Mr. Reporter. Great video but that comment was in bad taste.

[@robertengster5643]

What about motors and drive lines..

[@ithaca3929]

FROM BRAZIL.... the big challenge when buying an old motorboat is solving what to do with the engines , eletronics, gens, boilers, bateries and all eletrical and mechanical items. The boat needs to move, not only be beautiful inside.. teh costo of rebuilding eletric, mechanical and eletronics could be impossible....

[@darthkek1953]

Yes if the boat is that old or of they have corroded. I'm assuming here the internals are fine.

[@pookatim]

This service is for yachts that are in solid shape but need to be refreshed. There are other services to refit mechanical and electronic systems. However, in a lot of large vessels, care was always given to mechanical and electrical systems. The problem is with outdated cosmetics and appliances. That is where this service reigns.

[@hugoandreae3495]

Most of the mechanicals on this boat were in pretty good shape but SETAG did arrange for a comprehensive service and replacement of a few ancillaries that needed sorting but this was done outside of the £90k refit price

[@darthkek1953]

@@hugoandreae3495 that makes perfect sense. Nobody is going to buy £400k of boat and invest £100k of internal upgrades without making sure the mechanics & fundamentals were up to scratch or at least solid enough to revitalise cost-effectively.

[@donovanbremmer8248]

If I ever get a boat I’d love for guy to do it over

[@dpost1268]

look like a brand new boat.

[@baileyb4904]

well yes you’ve brought it up to Ikea standards . i miss the shiny wood and the leather. and what did this “ upgrade” cost?

[@MAZ732]

Did I see a hole in the hood on the fly bridge?

[@danfox1458]

No it's cos people buy them without understanding how much they cost on the upkeep, they want the life style with out understanding the costs

[@unfurling3129]

Decrepitude?! That is no fair analogue for experience. Boy, that was a rude and unwarranted thing to say. Then telling the gentleman who's literally providing you with material for a video that he's sounding like a commercial.. No sub from me.

[@bikersoncall]

1:25 2 years of lockdowns wasn't the problem with this yacht .

[@alangebbie8848]

Aquaholic did this a while back

[@davidelias154]

Good company for interior design and finishing , but no upgrades or mentions of the electronics or engine ?????

[@hugoandreae3495]

The engines and electronics weren’t upgraded as part of this refit as they were still fit for purpose although SETAG did arrange to have them checked over and serviced

[@juchetony1910]

I can't help thinking 90 grand is a heck of a lot of wedge, but that's just me.

[@mariogiurlani8048]

just apolstery or the tachts

[@attaat]

A couple of creaky boards to sort but otherwise very nice work.

[@hjalmarpaulsson7540]

Very nice refit! But the quality of the original fabrics must have been awful!

[@nickmail7604]

I'll tell what they didn't do and that's stop the salon floor from creaking, sounds worse than my back.

[@mortenhjornevik2850]

No way valued at 500 k with refit…350 to 399 tops. Looks great though.

[@justinlinnane8043]

i would have restored back to original rather than change the colour scheme and replace all the old fabrics etc with new but original colours . now that would have been cool .

[@justinlinnane8043]

@Just think its a confused bland colour scheme now . half original/ half mismatched fabrics and colours . always best to do a complete remodel or return it to original .

[@justinlinnane8043]

@Just think ok to refresh most of the AV systems and tech . all that can be done sensitively to update whilst keeping the originality . Its also possible to use higher quality hides on the sofas and seating or even go with fabrics that honour the original colour Palette . It's the half way house approach of this job that doesn't work .

[@justinlinnane8043]

@Just think probably because i work in interior design and vehicle restoration . it would be obvious to anyone in the profession that this hasn't been done well

[@pookatim]

That is a matter of taste. They could do that for a customer as well.

[@justinlinnane8043]

@Just think why are you so concerned that I don't think its a good job ?? do you know them ? I've explained clearly why it isn't a successful remodel in design terms and you just say " i like it " lol

[@mortenhjornevik2850]

He repeated all you saud verbatim..bloody irritating that

[@michelrodrigues110]

this is a paid video, no one would have that obnoxius person with SY flagshirt for free in their video.
