Even though I don't Owne a boat I get a sense of freedom on the water with these videos . Simply Awesome

[@bctruck]

The odds of me, an old retired longhaul trucker, ever owning a boat is slim to none. The only reason I watch these videos is because Nick has such an amazing personality. I always come away from nicks videos Just a bit happier.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

That's awesome 🙂

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Also, never say never!

[@coalitionperformance5901]

Owning isn’t the only way to boat. Hire one, even if it’s just for 2 hours in an old 1970s Orkney with a 5hp outboard! Remember aslong as your floating, your boating

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Same here, dream, dream 💭 of boating

[@TheHicton]

​@@coalitionperformance5901did that just rented a boat on the river teign for an hour it was great

[@clinty51]

And this is one of the many wonderful reason to support Aquaholic and you Nick. Loads of boat reviewers out there, but few really enjoy showing their own boating. Lovely example of a no nonsense prepared skipper...and while holding a GoPro...er, ...like a pro

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I appreciate that! 🙂

[@coalitionperformance5901]

Imagine that chap who reviews the sunseekers doing a vlog of his boating, it’s be as entertaining as a pair of corduroy trousers, that are brown

[@AndyGraceMedia]

Ahaha! Love the Aquaholic fans going past and recognising what a super job you do! :)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Always nice to be appreciated. 🙂

[@peterh3362]

Respect.... single crewed, narrow birth and holding a GoPro. Impressive handling sir.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you kindly 🙂

[@SuperStormgames]

One of my favourite Aquaholic videos

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you! Part two tomorrow. 🙂

[@iAPX432]

The boat and the owner. That is what it is. Not an unaffordable dream, but something that many could achieve. And it's exciting!

[@carloluigid2104]

"The joy of life afloat" indeed, Nick. The innocent joy you feel comes through loud and clear. I was literally moved by this video. I feel so grateful that you continue to offer such a pleasant view into the life of a boater.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind 🙂

[@erikfedderly5587]

Boat life is awesome! Enjoy the season! A few more weeks away for us here in Minnesota.

[@NautiGrandpa]

Life is good when a man has a proper job, good boat and a great woman to share it with.

[@piersonbroome2424]

I now have a perfect understanding of how the picture you sent me was framed, Nick - you do realise that you're really not helping with all of "the joy of life afloat" comments, don't you?! Your enthusiasm and personal 'joie di vivre' is so infectious 🙂 - thank you.

[@kayleboyd6825]

Love the fan as you went buy, but someone was missing, least the weather held out for you love the cruise ship😊

[@oneslackr]

That looked like a great day & evening. I almost felt like I was there for the journey.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@MesaperProductions]

LITERALLY single handed! Very nice!

[@phillpidgeon8961]

I have driven and walked into brixham every way possible. What a amazing way to enter an amazing town !

[@coalitionperformance5901]

Keep em’ coming! Fuels my on going journey/saga into boat ownership. Now only two more years of saving ❤

[@Kim_Jensen]

Fantastic boating, so joyful 😄Thank you for sharing yet another adventure, that makes people smile 😊

[@Rossbott1964]

Lucky to have all that on your doorstep 😁

[@jamesatotago]

Joyous as ever Nick. Thanks for being you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you kindly!

[@bobcathey8903]

Excellent example of single-handed boat docking. Patience, preparation, and practice. Would love to see another video of your remodeled home with a couple of close friends and cocktails. Cheers!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

At the beginning I had,"Grey skies are going to clear up,put on a happy face",running in my head.Ta-Daa. ;)What a wonderful day.TY all for sharing it.(Hi Marianne.Hope all's well?.)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@simonoxenham2748]

always love the tips out on your boat

[@jimbojet8728]

Thank you for a fun vid. I’m glad you’re not being beaten down by the dreadful weather recently.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome!

[@bobt3374]

Hi Nick. What a very relaxing trip around the coast & then relaxing afternoon & an evening with friends. Have a good time.

[@dazzler5012]

Another great video Nick, loved the music choice at the end. Nice drone work too.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@Grasshoppa65]

Truly lovely boats.

[@SpeedingTube]

Awesome Nick! The cruse ship sure does make you feel small when up close! ha! I got a small Bowrider 2 years ago, every time we go out its the most fun and refreshing "out of office" vibe you can get! Its also far more reliable than tuning cars! I put a video up last week of us out on the water, it a lot harder to film with the boat crashing about, huge respect for the awesome job you do of bringing and capturing the escapism of boating and putting it on here! If you ever come down to Falmouth it would be awesome to get the boats out together and grab a beer at the Pandora!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Looks fantastic, well done! 🙂

[@SpeedingTube]

@@AQUAHOLICThanks Nick, its good fun although each time the boat gets wet it shrinks a bit and now feels like a Kayak! 🤣

[@AQUAHOLIC]

@@SpeedingTube They do do that! 😄

[@davidsmall7676]

Sharing the perfect day! Thanks Nick.🎉

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@AIRANORAK]

Nice video as usual. Were going to Brixham sunday

[@colinritchie1510]

Thanks for that great video, Nick. Probably my favourite...no endless opening of cupboards, just enjoying life afloat-boating as it's meant to be, showing those who don't boat that it is possible to be really happy afloat!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@debbiejudd4933]

What a view from land it must be. Looking out at the ocean with all of the boats all lined up . Think you Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome! 🙂

[@johnkidd797]

Amazing docking job, one handed with GoPro in the other! The good warm boating days are dwindling down. Enjoy them while we have them. Awesome Nick Cheers

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Yup, not been a great summer so got to make the most of it. 🙂

[@garryrobson]

Beautiful! Summer’s here. We’ve been out on ‘Parker’ every day since last Friday! Heading out again this afternoon, but not going far today, we’ll anchor along Sandbanks beach, just outside the harbour. I was swimming there this morning - sea is mirror calm and 22° 👍 Happy boating Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

That sounds awesome! 🙂

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Cool docking !

[@robertdowdall1068]

Brilliant

[@kenburkimsher1356]

Always a pleasure to get a glimpse into your boating lifestyle. The motivations behind your..."joy of a life afloat." Just 53 days until this Canadian returns to our Catalina C350 in Florida. Your video makes me think of leaving this weekend!! 🙂

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Awesome, enjoy!

[@victorcoronel579]

Nick, sailing is beautiful, it doesn't matter where you live and enjoy it, especially with friends, I feel very identified with your videos from Argentina since I navigate the Buenos Aires Delta with a very similar 29-foot cruiser to yours. Keep browsing, good luck.

[@ironichumorist]

hurrah...your boat again! how interesting to be able to see "your hull" at work. very cool perspective.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@terrywalker1624]

Lovely, thanks for the trip. I was on the reverse trip that day, on one of those tripper boats to Dartmouth...

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Hey cool!

[@mortenberg2897]

Love these video’s. So calm and relaxing. We just bought a brand new Askeladden C78 Cruiser and absolutely love it. Your video’s really increase the joy of boating ❤ We are in the boat at Brøndby Harbour Denmark, (close to Copenhagen) right now, just chilling in our floating residence 😉

[@richardhartley7094]

Awesome video Nick very impressed with how your boat handles the chop 👍

A lovely boating weekend was had by you and your friends in Smuggler's Blues 2 Nick.

[@gervers]

What a beautiful, idyllic day! Thanks for taking us with you! Hope the rest of the weekend was just as lovely. What was for lunch? Ham & cheese or cheese & marmite sandwiches? I’m sure the cod & chips were delicious and the company fantastic! Thanks again!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Correct! 😄

[@ballytrea132]
