Kaleidoscope Charters - Puerto Vallarta to Yelapa

[@markgriffiths409]

Amazing that this was designed and built by one man! Absolutely bonkers 😝💪💪💪😎👍

[@chrisbarriere101]

The "dude" has the type of home made credentials that only the builder of fantastic contraptions could have. Before that he built custom 3 wheelers based on the designs of Ed Big Daddy Roth, the OG Rat Rodder. These dudes are legendary in soCal, and he lives so humble. Legendary!

[@CharlesGahl]

The builder of this boat should be called the incredible unstoppable man!

[@AbiyeKetema]

It's very inspiring, I would love to meet him in person one of these days hopefully. I saw the whole two hours interview with his nephew and what a work ethic he has!

[@gbpegasus46]

Its a miracle that it floats. Nothing looks how a boat should be

[@camerondodt3547]

So has everyone just watched the build for this boat?

[@mathijsdevries728]

I did… Was waiting for the part in which it was assembled because I was very curious about the end result. Also wanted to know if it still existed. I’ve got both answers now… 😂👊🏻

[@dadedubbledee]

Yes, Amazing

[@teddytheraccoon2128]

I wonder how much he sold it for ?

[@mohammednadeemanwar2213]

Yes saw the video, literally built it from scratch. To transfer he cut it into 7 sections on back of many rigs to the dock and reassembled on water. So huge. Its amazing to build a super yatcht catamaran.

[@JoeGator23]

@@mohammednadeemanwar2213 Nothing was cut, it assembled like Lego. The engineering was amazing, especially since no computers were used to design this supercraft.

[@BruceGbamboobruce]

I lived in Canyon Lake by the north gate Greenwald/74 and would drive by his house/shop going to work and back. It was really cool to watch this thing take form (hard to miss) I stopped and talked to him a few times. It was so massive just sitting on this piece of property.

[@1_fishin_magician153]

the builder of this cat is badass!! * great tune to go with your video ....thumbs up from Lake George, NY

[@josephstevens3357]

Looks like a fun time was had by all! Amazing story behind the boat!

[@davidantill6949]

All built by one man! Amazing!

[@jerrycallender9927]

'Kaleidoscope' is EPIC!'

[@zekelucente9702]

It reminds me of so many great times in Mexico. I wish it was still the same.

[@marshmellow3110]

Does the story get told how this boat was built by one man in the desert 85 miles from water? Then cut up, transported and reassembled? Noah has nothing on him.

[@wilhallman2890]

you recognized it too!

[@RyanLittRacing]

It’s an amazing feat

[@howie32768]

I just watched the build on this catamaran and was amazed. I wanted to see more information from when it was originally built till now but there seems to be nothing out there. Anyone have any info as to what happened between the 1990's and now? I dug up some info that suggests it was being used as a tour boat but was stolen in March of 2019 and it looks like it was returned but could not confirm anything.

[@joevald3]

Super impressive and unbelievable .

[@wilhallman2890]

Is this the boat the man built himself from sheet metal, and then cut apart to take to the ocean? Amazing ship!

[@RyanLittRacing]

Yes it is!

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

Actually it's made of aluminum.

[@wilhallman2890]

@@TrulyUnfortunate ah you are correct

[@bradleymorris8875]

I can’t believe it’s seaworthy.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

@@bradleymorris8875 I'm sure the guy that built knew what he was doing.

[@KlydeOscope]

You can see all the build volumes 1 2 3 from start to finish. at Clyde E S you tube channel

[@3800TURBO]

If that's you Clyde, hats off mate. You have some commitment and endurance to take on a project like this. Well done. She still looks as good as new too after all these years.

[@timexironman100m]

Looking good for over 36 yes old.

[@noeledwards7611]

And, Sir, you have great taste in music - in my opinion!

[@tangbesitangbesi7009]

I thought this yatch looks familiar after reading how it was built before and I was right. Imagine the original owner who built this yatch single handedly 85 miles in the desert, had to dissect it into 7 sections to be transported to the sea and rebuilt it and this yatch looks comparable to those built in a modern shipyard. He surely can employ a few helpers and start a multi million dollar yatch building venture

[@TheYyam85ahaz]

Trying to find a tour of the inside lol

[@badasscouger3]

Does it still have the underwater windows?

[@gmcjetpilot]

I am fascinated by the boat Kaleidoscope.... From my research this boat was made by ONE GUY over a few decades. There is a YT video. This is 100 foot long catamaran. When it was time to move it from where was built about 80 miles inland they had to cut it into pieces to move it, and then they welded it back together. The unique thing is this is an Aluminum Boat, not fiberglass or steel. I am trying to find out WHAT happened. Clearly it was sold and outfitted for charters. This is a real achievement by the man who made it.

[@RyanLittRacing]

The builder is the one who operates the charters.

[@gmcjetpilot]

@@RyanLittRacing COOL.... I am going to look into booking a cruise.... Thank for the reply,

[@jb243wp]

@@RyanLittRacing So I read up that it was stolen? Obviously they got it back all in one piece and undamaged? And from what your saying the original builder still owns it? If this is correct what an amazing story.

[@Mrcaffinebean]

@@jb243wp unfortunately it appears he sold the boat in 2020 and it doesn’t look available for charters at the moment

[@Jester123ish]

Basic yacht completed in five years.

[@MrToontuber]

Caro emerald?

[@user-sf9pq5ox7w]

Apparently the boat was sold and now being chartered? What a shame. Mexico is scenic in places but not worth your life.

[@nathanielwilson1899]

Can we the engine room

[@CharlesGahl]

There's no information on this boat if you Google it. The builder is also unknown. Does anyone have any history on this boat other than that it was built by some guy in the Arizona desert 30 years ago?

[@LincolnMaxnCo]

there is a video over 2 hrs long interviewing the builder. Look up "clyde stores catamaran " this is the world largest home made back yard boat The guy who build it is a very inspirational man

[@kennethsouth18]

how much did it cost?

[@RyanLittRacing]

Starshine25 I think it was around $100. Well worth it.

[@badasscouger3]

Does it still have the underwater windows?

[@BruceGbamboobruce]

@@RyanLittRacing I think you are right. I remember talking to him about the boat when he was building it, but that was back a few years.

[@kaykiekid]

😳😬💕 Yikes! Does anybody knows if this gentleman now has his own yacht company???? 🤔

[@gregorykoveal3800]

O

[@jamiemorgan4146]

Interior could’ve been much nicer. Very dark too...

[@blauer2551]

Easily double the price on the interior and engine upgrades

[@jwyzdm]

The nice part is when you get around to build your yacht, you can do the interior just the way you want it also. Let us all know when yours is finished.

[@n40tom]

I enjoyed the video but I had to mute that music very annoying
