I see you have a video of Alex as his boat is sinking. My buddy said he was getting a very nice replacement boat. Did you do a video on it and will he call it Protocol II ??

[@davidjames-maddaford4531]

@@Yachtbuyer Thank You.

[@jeffmcallister7040]

I really like the layout of this yacht. The beach club is awesome. The idea of being able to cruise silently is great. Numarine has a winner.

[@adastra79]

Jack, your tours are amazing and the boats themselves just keep getting better and better. This is truly great for a 30 meter yacht. It really feels like a 50 meter one. I’d go for diesel electric just because of the extended range I suppose. And at least some eco friendliness

[@Yachtbuyer]

Glad you like them, thanks for watching! - J

[@120Livi]

I love seeing yachts that are different. So many makers churn out variations on a tried and tested layout. This is great

[@Yachtbuyer]

Agreed, it’s fresh and different - Jack

[@seanogden927]

That is a beautiful yacht inside and out, love the colours and finishes and so spacious, decent crew quarters as well. I would spec it as Hybrid/Diesel. Great tour as always Jack thank you.

[@Yachtbuyer]

My pleasure, Sean, glad you enjoyed it! - Jack

[@nicbennett6554]

Superbly edited tour as always. Thanks Jack & team. Personally, not a massive fan of the yacht, but I can’t deny it’s impressive.

Top video again team 👏👏. I'd definitely go for the diesel electric and that beach club was perfect. ❤️🇬🇧

[@chrisoleary9876]

Thanks Jack! I'd go for the diesel hybrid. (That's supposedly where the market is going these days anyway.) Seems like more options with it. Good show old chap! 😮😊

[@oumana178]

Wow what a stunning beauty.

[@matthewmartin1970]

A very stylish explorer yacht and that beach club and flybridge deck are incredible. I'm less convinced about the pilot house in terms of visibility and connection to the rest of the yacht. Also it's a bit weird that the massive TV in the lounge was so far offset from the sofa. As usual though it was a brilliant tour with the best production values in the industry 👏👏👏

[@Yachtbuyer]

Thanks Matthew, appreciate that 👍 - Jack

[@Phottek]

Some real innovation here. So many features to love. Amazing space for a 30m. Headroom and upper deck a little worrying for me if you are tall and like to entertain large groups. Headroom looks very low in the main saloon. You said towering headroom but I feel like if you reached up you would have easily pressed your palm flat to the roof liner. The dark color doesn't help. Its probably comparable to other boats of that size and maybe that dark grey makes it feel lower. How did it feel in person? Did that light fixture over the lounge make you want to stoop or duck as you pass under it? The massive entertaining area on the upper deck, could be such an amazing party space. I would think it could be well served with a dumb waiter, a dedicated serving area and a day head. Imagine 40 guests up top having to walk through 3 entertaining zones packed with other guests (Upper deck, Rear dining, Saloon) to access the small day head below. A head located right against the Upper deck roof pillar to port would take away from the open space feel the least. All crew would need to ferry food and beverage through the pilothouse as the rear stairs are clogged with guests usual movement and the added traffic coming to and from the downstairs day head. A dumb waiter would help immensely if an upper deck head wasn't present. There is no serving space for crew to prepare drinks and food up top without being bumped into by guests. Perhaps forward on the starboard where you said it was blocked would be a good position for a proper bar, close to the pilothouse stairs that the crew would have to ferry the supplies through.

[@cordobes]

Lots of comments concerning bad weather - this is almost surely a boat for the Med. The average number of rain days in the Med during June-September is 4-10 days. That's 1 day per month in most of the Med - not 24 hours of rain, but 1 day where it rains, most likely a light rain for a couple of hours. I'm dubious about the diesel-electric system and noise management but the layout, with all those open spaces, is absolutely fantastic. Also, the concern Jacks mentions about crew quarters tends to be misplaced: they're largely just for sleeping. I like how some Italian builders don't even offer a proper crew mess in yachts this size (Custom Line, for example) - the crew will just use the galley. The crew doesn't actually spend any meaningful time down below.

[@EdwardTilley]

I was waiting for this review and it didn't disappoint. I noticed that you didn't mention the MSRP? Hybrid is the obvious way to go, and I'd rather see a B'yond 37 styled tender/toy deck than a side door garage just because there have been several? sinkings caused by those doors scuttling their ship. If this boat could tender a Saxdor 340 plus an Extender, you'd have a no-compromise mini-superyacht (less a mini-submarine and helipad of course :). The helm room needs to be reworked; a half-folding table (that converts to a bed when needed in a pinch) would be better in that space.

[@dehayealexandre8141]

This yacht IS perfect. ...❤

[@The-Droll-and-LazyJoker]

The Pro) For people who enjoy the "outside living" this is a perfect boat. The floor to ceiling windows in the salon, and the owners cabin are awesome, and frame a perfect view of the ocean out of them, and isn't that why you're at sea! Electric motors, with a small back up diesel generator, is a great combination and the wave (no pun intended) of the future. The Con) The flybridge, I get it, the designers wanted a symmetrical and balanced flybridge, but you have to walk across the entire beam of the boat to get to the refrigerators, is not ideal, also the TV in the salon is not in the best position for viewing, but not really what you're there for. This boat isn't my dreamboat, but a nice... design

[@nicolasweber2805]

Well Jack..... This is a yacht that goes beyond expectations..... It is one of the best yachts you have showcased so far - IMHO.... if they would just do this to the Numarine 26XP as well??!! as the 26 would be my choice, as one could manage that without a professional captain.... This is so beautiful, and the Scandinavian interior is very nice, (as a Dane - Scandinavian) I really fancy this interior.... and to answer your question, I would opt for the diesel -electric... it is as if Numarine has gone "Greenline" on this boat... same principle I think.... A part from the latest Hardy you did some time ago, this is such a beautiful boat and such a true Blue-water vessel, that Nordhavn must re-evaluate their interiors to keep up..... Thank you so much!!

[@Yachtbuyer]

I agree, nice to have the range and an eye on style. They strike the balance well - Jack

C'est un très beau yacht très bien aménagé et très fonctionnel. Une mesure que 30 m mais je le trouve vraiment très bien conçu.

[@GalacticAussie]

Very very nice. Just diesel. Id have the day head near the large tv and angle the tv towards the lounge section. That way you could make the kitchen even larger.

[@maryholder3795]

Interesting boat, ,a lot of thought has gone into the system of the boat. Good eco engine system surprised no solar panels. The only thing I'm not happy about is the helm windows. Like them bigger. Apart from that a great boat.

[@gunnarlygard5851]

When you walk around touching, pulling, pushing everything, what's your impression of quality and craftsmanship? Although it's an excellent camera work on behalf of your colleague it's hard to tell if things, bits and pieces are well put together (and will stay together over a long period of time in tough conditions).

[@Yachtbuyer]

That’s also quite difficult to decipher from the short time we have to shoot a yacht like this during a boat show. Sea trials are much more instructive and hopefully we’ll get the chance to test this one at some point - Jack

[@fisheye375]

The interior is designed like an utility room. But it’s kinda cool. I like it. It’s a boat to be used. Not the type you don’t want to touch because you will let fingerprints on the polished wood😂. I prefer those. But I can also appreciate a boat built to do serious ocean business😂

[@Squirel]

I like the vessel - especially the range but I noticed that there is no interior (bad weather) dining option. As a blue water explorer she will encounter rough stuff at some point. The only possible option I could see in the video was to bring the dining setting into the saloon from the cockpit. Is that how it works?

[@Yachtbuyer]

It’s completely customisable so you spec it with an internal dining area, I suppose - Jack

[@johansjoberg5751]

Some interesting solutions etc. I know it’s difficult to have a 100% impression on video but from what is visible i would expect this boat to be significantly cheaper than some English and Italian rivals

[@craigurquhart7622]

Very odd crew cabins. If both crew are in their bunk, how does the top person get past the bottom one when they're asleep?

[@Yachtbuyer]

It’s a good point, I suppose that’s sacrifice if you don’t want to bottom bunk directly beneath top one - Jack

[@cordobes]

Step around them, doesn't seem too complicated.

[@michaelschneider3446]

Do you know why all yards put the beds of the guest staterooms facing inside the ship? Would be awesome to have ocean view from the bed instead of having the hull windows behind the bed.

[@rtbinc2273]

I'd like to know more about the various ranges and details of the engine configurations. The diesel/electric seems best for something like a charter use. You noodle around and spend a lot of time on anchor. You could fuel it up in Boston USA (there is a Boston UK, who knew?) in December and noodle your way down to Virgin Islands, hang out then go back to Miami all on one tank of fuel.

[@MrArchie800]

Agreed, but hate to burst your bubble mate and tell you that Boston in the UK is probably 100 years older than Boston in the US (and there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed about by trying to copy an original masterpiece) 🙂

[@mts982]

[@bigfiretogetherforever5047]

I miss the Captains cabin being next to the bridge...though being close to the engine rooms...if the Capo does have an extensive skill set. I have a question about explorer vessels and international waters; does a weapons safe onboard problematic for international ports...? Or do you not say amything. And yes I am American...but have you all been seeing what has been happening with missing people. Just curious.

Nice looking boat. Don't like the beach club. To open bad for following sea. This, I believe, will become an issue for owners. Would definitely dump the electric gen operation and go for diesels with generator shafts, and then you can run the shaft on the generator or battery if needed.

[@kimkristensen2816]

Quite uniqe but headroom seem a few inches to low, and the helm station is a no go. It's not even a matter of style over function. It is simply located to low for proper vision, cameras or not.

[@erickoh9488]

That helm design is so bad for a large yacht, it’s like driving inside an armour carrier with limited visibility. And those steps in and around the captain helm chair is disaster waiting to happen in a night watch or rough seas.

[@ryanrevis827]

Agree completely. I don’t think you can see the water for 30-40 ft in front of the boat from that chair. Also why huge windows in the master and smaller elsewhere and tiny on the helm? Boat was made for parking not cruising. While it may have a 3k range, I’m not sure if I would trust those windows that far off shore. Plus you now need a whole mother crew member just to keep the glass clean and be able to see through it.

[@tomatobrush3283]

@@ryanrevis827 surely there are cameras for blind spots? It lacks stabilisation or they didn't mention it as well. It could do with a higher fly bridge.

[@mikefunderburk7965]

Diesel electric. Hate noise on a boat. Just not able to relax and properly enjoy the water. A quiet stable Yacht is just a superior experience to a noise Yacht focused on going fast.

[@scottfortune9016]

The decor is nice, but the headroom really sucks. Unless you're 7' tall, that is really low ceilings. They seem to have designed the entire yacht around the beach club and the master balcony. I don't like the bridge either. Way too low to see very well. And I think they should have enclosed some of the top deck. It's huge, but completely wasted in poor weather. And why would they put all of the refrigeration away form the cooking area? It seems that they really need a better layout.

[@bobdog43]

Numarine's boats are so innovative and feature packed that I could never understand why their (interior and, especially, exterior) designs were so unfathomably ugly. Now that I've seen the way that the owner of the company has chosen to decorate his own boat, the poor, poor design choices of the range begin to make much more sense... very clever features, just hideous to look at. Also, I understand that it's nice to have the sofas in the main salon facing the large opening doors, but that means that your giant TV is opposite of a bar with no seating. How in the world would anyone watch that in comfort?

[@cordobes]

The reviewer clearly agrees with you, he gave the lowest grade to the helm station? Did you click the link? That said, imo it seems like a perfectly adequate pilot house for a boat that is almost surely

[@ironichumorist]

that pilot house / upper deck does just not work. it gives the impression of a big muscular fellow with a tiny, tiny little head. silly looking. big massive TV in the saloon that does not line up with the seating. good thing the owner of the company did this one for himself. this seems like a one off which will be difficult at resale. the VIP bathrooms are lovely.

[@TheMastaRob]

Am also very unclear as to the benefits of diesel-electric on a build like this. Went for a look to see if Numarine has any documentation to explain the decision, only found some articles that called it "eco-friendly", which is pretty hilarious. If you care about CO2, you probably shouldnt get into yachting. Still, I would be interested to know if there is any measurable efficiency gain - theoretically, not having to deal with mechanical transmission should give some benefit. Also it's running pod drives, which are pretty cool. But you're also adding a lot to the cost, I hate to think how much. Diesel electric makes sense on monsters like cruise ships, where they can run diesel turbines, and but on a 100ft boat like this? Eeehhhh.....
