Went sight seeing in Torquay yesterday, number 1 on the itinerary was getting a glimpse of Smuggler's Blues 2 moored up, which I did! Show's my degree in Geography wasn't a total waste of time 😉

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Awesome! 😄

[@carldowningphoto]

Surely it’s the number 1 tourist attraction in Torquay 😃

[@Alicatt1]

@@carldowningphoto First I want to see where my dad and mom had their honeymoon in Torquay, then it's Smuggler's Blues 2 ;)

[@gervers]

Just the perfect series of fun on the sea with SB2! During the worst year in most of our living memories, you have bought rays of sunshine and fun into our screens and made things that little bit more bearable!!! Thank you! Looking forward to more tours and more fun over the coming weeks and years. If you want a change of pace when things improve, you’re welcome to fly with me in my PA 28 Arrow at 125kts around North London, Herts, Northants and across to Southend or down to the Isle of Wight.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the offer 🙂

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

Aquaholic tours the crew cabin and engine room, but no hi-lo platform on the Arrow.

[@bendixon2898]

I can just see you in a Princess 42 Smugglers blues 3 in that great lumpy weather and laying the throttle down yee ha.

[@ArteyTube]

Yes Nick! A famous boat guy like you deserve a bigger boat. Your KZbin channel has grown considerable, I have no idea what kind of money this might generate, but is there any possibility/plans for a Smuggler's Blues 3? Surely one of the boat makers are willing to give you a generous discount, the way you would show it off here in front of 200k subscribers.

[@strider6920]

What great fun Nick! You summed it up in one word “Awesome”. Great to see yourself, Marianne and your friends having such fun in a beautiful location with good weather. Goes to show you don’t need to be a multi millionaire to enjoy the 75% of our surface. Love all of the yachts/boats. If I ever have the good fortune to own one, I will have to pay you a visit and thank you in person for giving me a love of boating !

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great Sting Ray run. A bunch of lovley people having a awesome time

[@philt5782]

Aw man what an amazing day you guys had. From beginning to end. Beautiful. Thanks for taking us along to enjoy it too.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching

[@tookster7483]

Long time watcher, first time poster. Your videos bring back so many great memories of when my dad took me out to boat on freshwater dams with his friends. Obviously the boat was a lot smaller with a single outboard (I believe it was either a 40hp or 60hp mariner, was 30 years ago!). I remember we had to wash the boat after every outing, service the motor, mix the gasoline and oil etc etc. It was amazing. Thank you for all that you do. Also a small suggestion for future boat tours. Invest in a small drone and do some beauty shots (if the marina allows these things, i wouldnt know), it would add a value most certainly!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you’re enjoying them 🙂

[@africanpagan6338]

those added wood sections look so good on your boat, a really good addition

[@pilotnelson4507]

Thrill of the chase!

Great video as always Nick,shows the real the pleasure of boating and sharing the experience with your friends. I was lucky enough to see that Spirit P70 on the Hamble yesterday. Pictures and videos, with all the best will in the world, just don't do her justice. Just a stunning craft I was soo pleased and grateful to see on the water in the flesh.

[@davidskeates5790]

Absolutely fantastic. Looks so relaxing.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It really is!

[@debbiejudd4933]

What a great way to spend a day. Out and about with your friends. Cruising along eating and drinking your favorites. Hope you had a wonderful day Nick and Maryann. Love from Canada. Hope you get to come here soon to see our Vancover yachts.

[@foreverjc7958]

What a day boy! Being in quarantine here in Mexico and watching you enjoying your day is absolutely fantastic! This is what life is about: Just moments. Some day and somehow I will post something like this video... meanwhile, have fun!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

We Victorians have been in lock down for 2 months, with another 6 weeks to go here in Australia. Watch this video and “the mind is free to go wherever it wants and certainly not locked down”. Awesome and made my curfewed day Nick !!! All the very best to more of these!!

[@futte2303]

I'm jealous of the wonderful trip. I would like to be with you. but instead I can enjoy this video. I've seen the video where they show the boat you're talking about. the newly built Spirit P 70 it's impressive, but also a bit old-fashioned in appearance. but hey, we all have different tastes. but nice, it certainly is. Nick. Thanks for some great videos with Smugglers Blues 2. I really enjoyed them.

[@kranson8514]

Great videos great days fun 👌👏👏👏

[@geoffdalton378]

[@BarrieT]

I think that what I envy the most is your location. You live in a lovely part of the world, with beautiful places on your doorstep. We live in the North East, which we love, but our weather is not as good as yours for most of the year.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

We're very grateful for living in such a great place. 🙂

One day it will be interesting to see you cook on the boat Nick, excellent video, the boat you said it is beautiful, Jack done a walk through and it is an amazing boat

[@Jskdog]

Great video as usual, love your style of video making. Now I just need to get myself a boat for adventures like this, thanks for sharing, I love your super yacht tours but these show the true fun of boating.

Thanks for sharing such a fantastic day on board Smuggler's Blues 2. I really look forward to all your videos but especially enjoy the ones when you are at sea or doing a walking tour of your home area. Of course I also really like the boat tours too. It is so nice especially this year to have positive happy videos to watch.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@garyt.5219]

The wooden boat you saw was the Spirit P70. I believe it is British built and is absolutely fantastic with a price to match!! It's previewed on youtube.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

That is correct (hence putting it above the boat in the video! 😄)
