Evan K Marshalls designs are stunning.

[@pardus8panthera5]

Brilliant! What a beautifully thought out yacht. Great video & content, thank you.

[@sgt.pepper4274]

As always, another great Test Video, Capt. Steve. You're the best! I've been watching your videos for over 11yrs, and there isn't anyone doing this that does it better than you. Sincerely, thank you.

[@BoatTEST]

Thank you so much Sgt. Pepper! Will let Steve know!

[@120Livi]

Wow, that's a beautiful boat. Can't wait for the next part

[@sgt.pepper4274]

You and me.:)

[@scottlomas5509]

Wow gorgeous she's stunning and I really love how advanced she looks and the lay out the the engine room is fabulous gorgeous .

[@darthkek1953]

Heavy though. Her Features will decide if she's worth the bulk.

[@markward3242]

Another great vid Steve

[@danielh3894]

Welcome to Seattle capt. Steve

[@jp-qn4je]

Well done. Now insides to see!

[@Why-Not-Why]

Not that important but they are twin V12 1650hp, not V10s. A great detailed review. Thank you captain.

I want to know if you can spec smaller engines for a longer range? What would the range be if you shut off 1 engine once you get up to desired speed? True explorer yachts should achieve longer range than 1250 nm.

[@markmatthews1972]

Great Mechanical/Operations Video, might want to bump-up the livability and comfort aspects.

[@stevepark3865]

He covers those in the Features video that follows this one

[@sheffieldwednesday5421]

I was expecting this boat to go farther than 1200+ at 8 knot.

[@hawkdsl]

It's an amazing boat.. but surprised she has short legs. I would expect at least 2k nautical (@10kt) with such a big boat

[@7rays]

Wow!

[@thomasw5430]

Gorgeous boat. I like it but the range to me is a dealbreaker for me. If I am an explorer I need a boat with enough range to get me from the west coast to Hawaii

[@scottlomas5509]

So if you dropped the speed back to 6 knots what would the range be then?

[@sgt.pepper4274]

Probably further. lol But there comes a point where the engines need a certain amount of load to continue to operate as intended. Generally speaking, if you are running your marine engine's rpm really low, you need to blow it out (run the engine(s) at near full capacity) every 24hrs for an hour.

[@darthkek1953]

Could easily double that And of course if you wanted more range just put more tanks on.

[@darthkek1953]

@@sgt.pepper4274 Yes, unless they're designed to cruise at trawling speeds. That's why a lot of long-distance owner-operator boats kind of top out at 12 knots, though there are exceptions (literally: Fast Trawlers).

[@doolittlegeorge]

Make an even bigger one already incredibly. "Way overboard on the electrical systems" is I think creating a rush to market for these items as the revolutionary Tesla Model S starts to have an impact well beyond just the car market. Still this is all light years ahead of what's going on in the US RV market at the moment...a market that happens to be booming relentlessly going on forever now ironically enough. This new Lucid Air is a truly amazing throw down to what this future is indeed "now is" if that makes sense. Common rail two stroke engines are only now hitting the US consumer tractor market for Kubota, John Deere etc now putting out well in excess of 100 horsepower which in a diesel tractor is an awesome amount of both power and efficiency...in a shockingly small amount of space. Suffice to say "no need for a crew quarters with engines that small as the ICE Platform main power units" with this of course excluding all being used to power a high capacity lithium ion battery and a bank of solar panels ... ten thousand miles on a hundred gallons of diesel fuel sounds about right to me at the moment anyways. Depending on how good those solar panels are that ship could really move too...getting up on plane almost instantly and sustaining speeds of 10-12 knots maybe even twice that depending on hull design and proper outfitting ("all the weight to the batteries and as ballast.") A powered catamaran could be even more spectacular...80 knots top end for "just a mere sport cruiser" not out of the question at the moment imo. "All whilst holding back a ten percent reserve" absolutely..

[@mariosilva1156]

And this boat it's class A or B?

[@kevincrandon1928]

Can anyone share the approx price of this yacht?

[@TimOtPatrik]

What does is cost to charter a vessel like this?

[@darthkek1953]

$50-$60k / week or so, crewed.

[@nautibleteam2273]

3'9" draft?!?!

[@alisavas9526]

This is a beautiful and very specious yacht for sure but, it's a rather very nice 'concept' yacht, and not a true explorer! It's like a Merc M class, and not a G Wagon! More range, more hardware and certainly another crew cabin is needed in my opinion, especially if you will charter as mentioned in the features video.

[@thahuong6190]

Đẹp quá

[@craigwicks8450]

Looks like a nice boat but it's too big for me I want a boat big enough for one person to handle that guy go up and down the coast by myself and have friends on board once in awhile

[@gerhardvanwaltsleben8944]

Lekker man lekker

[@jeremywigglesworth5340]

I would have enjoyed this review but stopped watching after less than a minute due to the intrusive foreground "music". Any chance of a version without the soundcrap?

[@nolanhupp2023]

Who cares? Just deal with it it's not that bad.
