Thanks Simon for letting us see your boat. The flooring is amazing. Scotland sounds like something to look forward to. Caledonian Canal and the Islands. Let's hope that comes off.

[@ingramrose4279]

Thanks Nick and a big thank you to Simon for showing his boat, it is lovely.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ScienceRockifyMe]

@@AQUAHOLIC Always nice to meet the real people behind all this great boats Nick. Next time could you please ask about if they captain it themselves (what license and when they got it) or have a captain/crew running it.

[@IhateYoutube]

That boat is 15 years old and like you said Nick, if you told someone "ah just got it last season" they would never know. What an absolute stunner! The work that Simon has had done on that vessel is top notch and it shows!

[@8AM_AU]

This vintage Manhattan is the best of Sunseeker, absolutely gorgeous. A dream boat for sure. Thanks for showing us round!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@gratefulot360]

Wonderful yacht. He did a spectacular job of upkeep. Thank you, Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@marlieconson9147]

Show the specs

[@Nokenify]

FINALLY- another Aquaholic upload! Love this series with meet the owners too!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

More to come!

[@adidc]

Yeah! Was waiting the whole weekend... :))

[@badgastein2]

Appreciate these owners giving up their time so the rest of us can dream.

[@Reznor_Meeks]

absolutely stunning, there's nothing like when you see someone who loves something such as a boat, car, bike, etc and the love for it shows right away how well kept it is. everything that was upgraded, Simon seems to want to keep as close as possible to factory, and that I think is what shines here, upgraded, tastefully done, but still fitting, nothing sticks out with that visual of " don't belong " dream ride right there, congrats Simon, beautiful boat.

[@raffyoei6647]

You can tell he is reeaaaalllly proud of his boat (I would too)

[@nameatrandom9234]

Love these ‘meet the owner’ videos. Gives a whole new view to what these boats are really like. Would be amazing to see an owner take you out for a quick ride and show you what the boat is like at sea and all ‘it’s little quirks and features’ lol

[@captainaj4727]

What a lovely man - thanks to him! Great insight into the mind of a serious boat owner. Thank you!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@imamiddleagedman]

What a lovely man. So down to earth and lovely to see the passion he has for this boat.

[@gervers]

I love the owner/operator tours! It’s so interesting. I also love this boat! Many thanks as always and have a great week!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you! You too!

[@simonburrow1198]

Fantastic video and what a gentleman Simon is, and the quality of the modifications is exemplary. I am a great fan of having the galley below it gives you so much more social space. Wonderful video Nick and thank you Simon for sharing your yacht to the world.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@nickwebb9290]

What a stunning boat. Thank you Simon for allowing us onboard and thanks Nick for such a slick tour and interview.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@davemountford9116]

That is an absolute credit to you Simon , the work and cost shows how much you care for your boat. Thanks Nick for bringing this video to us all @AQUAHOLIC

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@sandeepkumarsingh4567]

Wow just fantastic Nick Sir.. Very classy boat... The owner has made it stunning.. Both of you are looking dashing..

[@kranson8514]

Lovely boat, not everyone is the same, he made you work for that tour almost like a job interview. Well done Nick

[@didgerb72]

I live in Southampton as you know Nick. I'm laid up 99.9 % of the time as a Disabled British Army Veteran. I fell in love with Superyacht Walkthroughs about 2.5 yrs ago. I now have approx 3600 videos on my album. So I really enjoy re watching some of my favs. I'd love to have a tour of this vessel. If the owner doesn't mind putting up with me for an hour or two. I've got multiple operations on hold due to covid, but if able to I'd love to have a look around this amazing Sunseeker 60. I'm always surprised by the older vessels, cause sometimes they look better than newer ones. Sometimes even without upgrading. You can tell this is a labour of love, as the owner is so proud to share his vessel with the Aquaholic crew. If Nick says its a real beauty, or words to that effect. Then sir, you have done a truly magnificent job. I think it is an amazing revamp. The mix of old and new can make or break a project I feel. However it is not the case here. An outstanding job sir. Thankyou for giving Nick access to your pride and joy. She is a beautiful vessel for 2007, looks brand new sir. If you do the West Coast of Scotland? try and get to St Kilda. My bucket list is to visit her again. She's 48 nautical miles NW of Benbecula and North/South Uist Island chain, in the Outer Hebrides. If I win the lottery I'd like to visit if you do. A fool can dream. Such a beautiful example of a well loved Manhatten 60. Sir. :-)

[@petermartin4675]

That woodwork is smashing , lovely boat all boat builders should take note.

[@DeadDave]

I actually prefer the galley being in a seperate part to the living space. Kitchens do tend to create mess regardless of how tidy we all are. I bet this boat has had some amazing parties!

[@chadrochelle1472]

After that last Nordhaven on Friday, I was thinking, we're due for another Meet the Owner segment. Well done!

[@cocolocot]

What an absolutely stunning boat - 60ft is often thought of as ‘small’ nowadays, especially when compared with the enormous 150ft+ yachts, but actually the size of this is perfect. Love the cabins and the galley is wonderful. Lovely boat. Thanks Nick!

[@darthkek1953]

In the UK and most places anything under 78 feet (technically 24m) is small as it can be owner-operated without special qualifications and licencing. Anything larger triggers the large yacht code and requires a fully qualified crew.

[@cocolocot]

@@darthkek1953 yes - that’s my point. This is a great size to be owner-operated. I crew a 40ft and I think it’s a perfect size.

[@charliebailey9467]

13 degrees and fresh fresh fresh in Sydney . Looking forward to this .

[@8AM_AU]

I was out today mate - spectacular boating weather :)

[@Lukeed09]

Cracked 10° in Brisbane just now, but a calm day is a boating day in my books

[@imatekjam2005]

What a thoroughly nice bloke, fair play to him for the invite. Another good one Nick

[@MotorBoatYachting]

Another man with some excellent literature on his saloon table ;-)

[@ToddNorthrop]

These meet the owners videos are my favorites Nick, please keep them up whenever you can! I especially enjoy these with the larger boats.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

More to come!

[@capitalistgeneral]

I know he said he'd like newer possibly, but this period of Sunseekers really is special. Fantastic boat!

[@andrewr3973]

Love watching these 'Owner' Videos. One day soon, then I hope to see myself on one with the legendary Nick.

[@LordGrenville1]

Lovely boat with clearly a LOT of money spent to update it. Love the woodwork from that era and with the modern trim it looks outstanding. Thanks for showing us it Nick and thank you to Simon for sharing!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@gareth36]

That is just a stunning craft. Thanks for the tour Nick. Totally agree about everyday stress just oozing away when you get to your boat,think it's true for whatever type of boat you have. Floating is boating after all.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jgriff3218]

This boat looks like it just came out the factory. Beautiful boat. Thank you

[@phil4977]

Beautiful boat. The refurbishment has been done really well. The owner was very nice to let us see it.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bionicsasquatch]

Nice to see a proud boat owner showing his pride & joy off thanks Simon and Nick Cheers.

[@d14551]

I enjoy seeing all the boats you show us, Nick, but this one is extra special. If I was in the market for a boat, this is one I would seriously consider. It's spacious and attractive without being overwhelming.

[@jonesalex565]

I have a lot of respect for people that show you around and are honest about the boat. Much appreciated.

[@lgriestra]

Very nice yacht and many thanks to the gentleman for sharing his story.

[@paulwalker2133]

Simply gorgeous - I love how that woodwork just never ages - perfect for a larger family

[@marcmcsorley7707]

Fantastic looking boat, a credit to the owner and what a Gent he is .

[@9VARZ]

What a brilliant piece of kit! Great job all around with the interior refit too. Thanks for making this happen, Simon and Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@opa-dick]

Realy beautifull work on this ship. IT looks brand new indeed. Thanks so much for having this inside look

[@barryoconnor431]

Absolutely stunning boat and obviously his pride and joy and why not. As you said in the vid, if you didn't know a bit about boats you would think it was a much newer boat than almost 14/15 years old. The new roof linings look superb and a quality finish done. It would be good to go back next year to see the finish when he gets the cabins redone. A really nice piece of kit.

[@caspzz6215]

It's always cool to se people talking about their own boats and showing them off

[@kevinbanham2429]

Lovely looking boat Simon has done a fantastic job with the upkeep and updates. Great video Nick 👍🏻

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks 👍

[@connorbegley8464]

Wow what a beautiful boat, I love what he’s done with it! I especially like the layout. The stairs going down to the kitchen aren’t too steep because they have plenty of space to run along side the big sitting area next to the helm. The kitchen is a great size and so are the 3 cabins each with their own heads. There’s nothing I would change about that layout I think they absolutely nailed it! Great video Nick! Thanks for the tour!

[@paulbearman4653]

Love your meet the owner series, thanks to Simon for showing his lovely boat.

[@cosmosutcliffe9160]

Wow this is stunning! I used to be not such a big fan of the gloss cherry finish but this has converted me!

[@dwrowley]

A beautiful boat and I love the layout with the lower galley, thanks Simon for letting us look around, he was real down to earth

[@dmoonuk]

What a top man Simon is , Love what he done to the boat and his passion. Thanks Simon for letting Nick show us this.

[@markflyer]

What a lovely boat that is,fantastic attention to detail.

[@bertpierey3655]

Thanks for showing it to us, its a great boat. Love it.

[@cbrusharmy]

Thanks for having us aboard, Simon.

[@robashton8606]

Absolutely gorgeous boat! I'm really rather envious. Particularly like the main deck layout and the new decking throughout. Fantastic.

[@fearnsey8800]

Dream boat ! Would love a charter on that boat, love the originality.

[@bigp7902]

Hats of to the owner, the boats immaculate and they have done a fantastic job in updating it, wow what a boat 👍

[@TheSuprahuman]

Its a minter!! Props to Simon for upgrading this lush yacht and not running off to buy a new one. Very tastefully done and stabilizers to boot. Very nice. Cheers to all and happy sailing.

[@andrewpark6223]

Hats off to Simon. Hes done an amazing job on refurbishing.Highly enjoyable upload.Thanks Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bobbydazzler330]

Watching / listening to how the other half live is wonderful ...another great video......👍

[@brianb4942]

I missed todays upload a couple of times with no caption on the image! Lovely boat, classic exterior lines and color. Simon keeps it immaculate. The flooring would fool me also. Great job. Nice of Simon to allow you take us on board. Thank you both.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ducaroamer1261]

Watched this again today and I must say I love to watch older boats that have had loads of modifications, slightly more interesting than watching the new boat vid’s. 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@paulwedlock1363]

What a beautiful boat. The owner has done a lovely job renewing elements of it.

[@williamgreene8079]

Another Classic Sunseeker kept in a beautiful condition by owner Simon. It reminds me of that other Classic Sunseeker, the 2006, 82 with a similar interior design and a striking dark blue hull, one of my favorite Motor Yachts on your channel. All the best n' take care.

[@kieranharriman7055]

Really great boat. Very friendly chap. Love these meet the owner videos. Everyone likes being nosey.

[@frankcolumbo9615]

Agreed, I always prefer Galley Down. Faux teak makes sense on many levels. Nice boat & owner 🇺🇸👍

[@TheDonNicky]

Amazing, looks brand-new 😁

[@aaronfreeman4144]

Another great video. I love Sunseeker and appreciate your interviews the most. Thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like them!

[@brianunderwood3109]

Beautiful boat. One of my favorites. They did a great job with the updates. Cheers from Colorado.

[@Ognir1962]

Fantastic boat Simon.... and thanks as always Nick this one was really cool.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@AllSingingAllDancing]

Hi, Simon! Hi, Nick! Thanks for a fun look around an amazing boat. Nick has spent a lifetime showing all sorts of boats, but it is extra fun to meet actual owners so we can see how they make them their own. That's why I loved your video about your updates on SB2, Nick. You and Simon are great at showing us how you make your boat comfy and cozy. That galley is so shiny. Holy cow! Thank you for showing your boat, Simon. And, as always, a fantastic job, Nick!

[@g9rud]

Pretty impressive boat, like you said, you wouldn’t know this isn’t a new boat, amazing condition. Classic sun seeker!!! Love these meet the owner tours, very interesting.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

More coming!

[@julienbouillot6960]

What a nice boat. Congratulations on a very well executed reno.

[@BenDover-cl1jf]

That’s really nice that boat, love the private galley.

[@dannyw4805]

Thanks for the tour Simon - beautiful boat. Great video Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Matt7895]

What a gorgeous boat, inside and out!

[@Landieman141]

I don’t know how your channel ended up on my KZbin feed but soooo glad it did. I knew nothing about boats until recently but now , Bimini, passerelle😁. Excellent Chanel and very informative. Thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Welcome aboard! 😃

[@tommyfaz5915]

Once again magnificent Simon upgrading is great well done Nick

[@thebazgaz]

Lovely boat, not usually a fan of downstairs galley, but this shows off what it can bring you, especially I guess for charter guests, as crew can be busy making food / drinks out of the way..

[@FLGurl]

The teak is fabulous and an inspiration for decoration. I do like the layout for this one a lot. This owner really has put his heart into this vessel. So glad he shared this with you Nick. And thank you as always for such a great presentation. I know we didn't get to go into the bits and pieces, the drawers, and equipment, but that is okay. I am putting all of my bucket list into owning a yacht one day. I really mean a real yacht. And if I can't have it, then so be it. I will still have your videos so I can live vicariously.

[@phoebus007]

Beautiful restoration by Simon and his team. Love the cherry wood throughout, such a warm look.

[@kingharryII]

One of the shorter videos but by far one of my favorite boats to go through. I love the set up and the separation of the “rooms”.

[@macdchef]

You can see he has a lot of passion for his boat.. well done to both

[@MrSammybucca]

We all have dreams to invite Nick onto our "boats" someday. Thanks for letting us aboard Simon.

[@Landmantx]

What an incredibly well maintained and updated yacht. I would love something like this.

[@mareewalker1096]

This vessel does look new no doubt about it! Most impressive refit I've seen! Especially the cabins they don't look dated at all! Well done!!🛥⚓

[@JA-pm5oh]

Wonderful boat great great to see it owned by a nice guy!!

[@paulriley7523]

What a lovely lovely boat.

[@tonygold9037]

Great. Thank you to you and Simon your host.

[@swoop055]

That was so much better than I expected, well done and thanks

[@poppops62]

Thanks Simon, you have a lovely boat in exceptional condition.

[@johnlymn861]

What a beautiful boat, so classy and beautifully refinished. The decking and internal floors look amazing, and the whole interior is classic and stylish. Great to see, thanks Nick

[@OrangeAgent5]

It very much reminded me, on the "Meet the owner Sunseeker 50" with Carron and Steve. The layout with the galley and the cabins and of course how well this boat is treated by it´s owner. He with family and friends will have a lot of superb time, enyoing it. As always, thanks for the tour (even if it wasn´t the full one) and to Simon, to share his privacy with us.

[@kevinw7044]

2007. Wow! What a lovely boat.

[@TradeWindgng]

lovely guest and a lovely yacht...wishing all the best in his coming adventures. Thanks great video

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@romac9516]

Stunning boat, love seeing the owners of these beauties, Simon's done a great maintenance job. Love the non-teak teak!

[@steveSmith-pd4st]

Excellent work Nick, and thanks to Simon for letting us see his very own thing of beauty, well done.

[@matrags]

I really like the layout on this one.

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

That was a treat for sure beautiful boat thanks Nick and Simon.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TaxTheMonkey]

Excellent tour as always Nick. Thank you Simon, you have a lovely boat that has clearly been well cared for.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Many thanks!

[@markmccue1263]

This is another high point for Aquaholic, I just love the Sunseekers of this vintage and this one has been really well cared for and upgraded. Love the tour and the chat with the owner as well, and would have loved this one to have been a little longer. So much of interest with the boat and the owner alike!

[@tdelgado01]

What a beatiful boat. It is obvious the owner is a man of good taste.
