I recently begun making KZbin videos of my travels. Any advice on how I can improve them would mean a lot!

[@cliffdavis5244]

😂 good luck they don’t even monitor the comments most times.

[@Generalpickaname]

What stunning boats! Just bea-u-tiful!

[@kahuthekiwiadventures9061]

That was awesome 👌 you should be proud 👏

[@movezzify]

Riley on this boat was like the equivalent of “when the food is amazing people get quiet and just eat”. What a stunning boat, pure class

[@rawganic5183]

I got a bit teary towards the end when you talked about all your achievements elayna ! You both have the right to feel proud and openly reflect on all you have achieved. Never stop reflecting it’s very healthy for you mental health to get you through the hard days ❤

[@SailingLaVagabonde]

Thank you so much ❤

[@k_cat8932]

Having lived in ipswich for many years I can tell you the smell of that workshop on a sunny summer day when they open the doors up is amazing. I got to go aboard a spirit yacht when I spent a lot of time in the marina while searching for boats and admiring them every day. The craftsmanship is absolutely amazing down to the smallest detail. So happy you enjoyed the work of art.

[@meadmaker4525]

Wooden boats, particularly something of this caliber, are a whole different kind of sailing. Seeing Elayna's visceral reaction to the smell of the wood and the tactile nature of the interior said it all. I could definitely see you all on a wooden boat in another decade or so, when you're done with the trimaran and have a little more salt in your hair. So glad you got to sail this one.

[@marceltromp1454]

Totally agree ❤!

[@holgerlafrenz2895]

Something doesn't fit right when she talks adoring wood and nature then go buy carbon fiber.

[@robgrant7683]

@@holgerlafrenz2895It makes sense to me. They're both cool! The wood boats have a charm for sure. But the blazing speed of their new trimaran is going to be very entertaining.

[@tuberNunya]

@@holgerlafrenz2895 Carbon is the basic building block of all life on this planet. Wood is carbon fibers glued together with Lignin produced from the sunlight, water and CO2 that the tree uses to grow. It doesn't get more natural than carbon. Every time you exhale, you produce carbon, and when you are finally cremated, all that will be left is carbon and some calcium. Don't let the communists fool you into believing any different. They are merely trying to stampede humanity into destroying itself so that they can take over.

[@stingb6983]

What a spectacular boat! Riley’s smile as you both walked down the stairs into the boat said it all! Wow! ❤

[@rogerbrownart]

Been waiting for this 007 yacht to appear, such a sleek, beautiful work of art that can also be sailed!

[@KlingonCaptain]

Aquaholic did a tour of the actual Spirit 54 used in the Bond movies. It's a good bit smaller than the one in this video, but still fantastic.

[@razzeldazzel18]

Started watching you guys shortly after Lenny was born. I have a little boy Lenny’s age and watching your content helped pull me from my PPD. You showed me that motherhood doesn’t always have to look traditional and you’ve opened my eyes to different lifestyles and it’s honestly super impressive what you guys have accomplished over the years. Looking forward to your new trimaran and the subsequent adventures. 😊

[@leesydneyharry7958]

It’s a treat to go back to the beginning and watch all episodes.

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

The craftsmanship of this yacht is beautiful and she sails effortlessly. ⛵️⛵️⛵️ Thank you both and Spirit Yacht for allowing us to to share this amazing adventure 🥰

[@flyingcheff]

Finally, Riley is speechless, his celebrity crush on this boat....so cute and sweet. Instead of a bromance, it's a boatmance! Great episode, thanks guys!

[@robertwoodward5392]

What a privilege to be taken aboard this masterpiece of wooden craftsmanship, and thank you to Spirit Yachts for welcoming us all to your factory and observing the masterful workmanship in progress. A great episode for us all to share your wonderment of being aboard such luxury. Proud to be on board with you both. Thank you.

[@timmitchell8784]

For those that are interested. The sailing channel SV BLOWN AWAY they were the “stunt” sailors for both James Bond appearances. And has done several of the deliveries for spirit. As well as On their channel they documented all of this. Great fun to see.

[@laurenm8561]

What an amazing opportunity to be a part of something so beautiful. I loved watching you both admire this piece of art. Your vessel will offer as much magic as this yacht, just in a different way. In a lot of ways it will be so much better, because it will be yours! Missed seeing the kiddos today.

[@wildaltarose]

This stunning boat will be at the top of my list for design and style. Fabulous wood work and everything is made for a connoisseur of all things fine, a real champagne and caviar boat.

[@thehopulusexperience995]

Guys, what else can I say: this episode truly went up to the top 3 list of episodes of SLV. So real and honest opinion on style!!! Please visit Sweden and sail on a Skerry Cruiser. By the way an ideal boat for the kids later ;)

[@sam3353]

The "proper and posh" Riley is a hilarious treat. Love you guys.

[@wwomannc4834]

Unbelievably beautiful boat. Wow that monohull would be a dream!!!!!! Ty Spirit and Riley and Elayna❤❤❤

[@julzamidala2865]

I came aboard when you sailed Greta and her father back to Europe for COP25 and it's been such a pleasure to ride along with you on your journey! The James Bond yacht is a beauty but to this day my favorite shot of all is the one of Greta holding Lenny. That's personal to me but verything after has been pure delight, thank you all so much for sharing it all with us!

[@rwtindall]

Elayna takes the Helm and suddenly the clouds part and the sun comes shining down as though it's the morning of the 41st day (Noah's Ark). And I loved watching Riley touring the sailing vessel whilst holding back that Chesire cat's grin, like a kid on Christmas morning, pure enthusiasm and joy. Thanks for sharing, Cheers!

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Looks like mirror polished stainless steel all over....truly a work of art..... museum quality build

[@MrFroglips69]

This sailboat is floating art. The technicalities and advancements of a percussion, modern day vessel, with all the beauty and elegance of a classic vintage sailboat of the 19th Century. Without a doubt, if one can afford this Spirit Yacht, this is the boat you should have. You two are so lucky, but of course, you already knew that. Stay safe and stay groovy.

[@jamarie1972]

Really pleased your time spent in England seeing some of the best Boatbuilders in the world Cheers Guy’s all the best 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@jonathanscott550]

Wow that's a beautiful yacht. All wood. The workman and workwomanshipon this boat is I am so speechless. This is a piece of ART indeed. And the speed she has over the water is way faster than a fiber glass or steel haul boat for sure. The thing I also noticed is the cockpit. As the main mast is so low you'll not be able to have a closed protected cockpit. I also notice when you jived to port or starboard people near mast head to duck their heads. So the safety of this boat if you are not experienced with it may create problems. Beautiful she is, but I think there is a safety design flaw. Looking forward to next video

[@keykeypr8292]

What an astonishingly beautiful boat! It leaves me at a loss for superlatives to describe her. A true work of art made even more achingly beautiful when performing its job. Form marries Function. How blessed you guys are to have the opportunity to experience her, and we to go with you. Loved the teaser for the next episode. I remember the Azores/pandemic episodes, so really looking forward to what's coming up.

[@bobbiejay2085]

The exquisite rawness of this sailing masterpiece has me wanting a Spirit yacht. Nothing comes close to wood. Love the finessed industrial details. Thank you for this tour. I bet you had to pinch yourselves.

[@sue8237]

No kidding - I saw the thumbnail before the title and thought, "Dang, Riley could be the next James Bond!" Smooth, Riley, smooth. And the boat - WOW!!! Gorgeous! Elayna, you have certainly become accomplished sailors and should be very proud! I'm sure there are not too many people these folks would allow to sail on these boats with them if not. It's been fun watching you grow, and I think about all that your kids have learned by watching, listening and participating on your boat. They're going to be naturals.

[@natashadaniels196]

Makin me emotional again. You guys. Continue to honour each-other, honour yourselves. You two feel like children to me. i am just so proud of you. and thank you.

[@The_Travelling_Jonoberries]

Wow wee what a pure classic British built vessel of quality, but that’s what you are paying for hey! Thanks gang for allowing us onboard this very strikingly beautiful Yacht

[@deborahdownie8039]

We sail a Catalina 32’ mono haul and love it. One of my favourite parts of her is the teak and holly in the cabin. All the wood on the Spirit boats is just unbelievable. Really enjoyed watching this, thanks for sharing your experience with this amazing company.

[@laurence9695]

It´s a treat to see Spirit Yachts aiming to preserve the ancestral workmanship of the old land.

[@spongesurf12]

Reminds me of sailing on my grandpa's wood boat. I think first time I was a couple of weeks old. It was only 23 feet but the smells of the teak, the many times polished brightwork, even the bilge smell, all still bring back memories that are to me the essence of sailing. (It didn't hurt that it was in Hawaii...). I wish I knew what happened to her.

[@jonbarlow3542]

I know zero about sailing/yachts; what an absolute treat that was, thank you. Love your work!

[@TheHornet0007]

Love to see Riley this stoked about a new boat or anything actually. Also love it when something strikes Elayna really funny!! Both situations are just a joy to see!! keep up the good work. Your friend Will

[@rambolicious1702]

I have always loved that boat. I’m so jealous you guys got to sail that boat :)

[@errollleggo447]

That is one hell of a beautiful boat. 10/10.

[@user-yc9xv7lf3o]

As a cabinet maker, woodworker, I can absolutely appreciate the craftsmanship put into this yacht. I would recommend watching "Sampson boat company" and the construction of Tally Ho.

[@simonequentindemanson3809]

There is something about a cat though, I don't sail.. yet, but what absolutely appeals is that you can be outside when inside thanks to the windows and views. I'd so love to see something like that but with all the wood and style of this boat. Such a beauty though. Thank you.

[@travel_bug_kim8346]

WOW!!! It’s a piece of Art! The only thing missing is Bond himself 🤩🤩🤩

[@gypsyfirestorm]

This has been my only experience on a sailboat - my ex boyfriend's parents had one, and we went out on it one day out from Drake's Island Maine. They showed me the ripples on the water, and explained how that was a wing gust and to get ready.. It hit, and the boat tilted so far! All I could hear was me taking a huge deep gasp of air! It was terrifying and thrilling all at the same time. I never forgot it!

[@gypsyfirestorm]

not almost, it IS art. Absolutely stunning!

[@loganyoung7051]

Speaking as a knoweledgable captain and long time sailor I very much so appreciate the technical details. I understand I am not your typical viewer but the technical captions are great as I can still learn something while enjoying your videography. Keep it up!

[@cherylsibson2529]

Yes, there is something about wooden boats, That boat almost looked like they used teak wood, a lot of care and craftsmanship went into it, and the level of achievement shows SLV and I know you are looking forward to getting into the " home" as well as being always open to exploring ships, new pathways to getting around the oceans. Engage Riley and Elyana!

[@Adrian_au]

What a classy vessel, company making them & production on the video. Thank you SLV!

[@bos6782]

Hands down my favorite yachts, so beautiful and well crafted.

[@jakemarsden6831]

I've never been so happy to be early to a video!!! Love from Ireland :)

[@williamdykes2750]

You're right Riley one can't buy class. Spirit yachts are all exquisite. Personally, I'd go for one of their 40-42 footers that I could single-hand and call it a day.

[@TA-wg9oi]

The poms are exceptional in timber craftmanship. I lived and worked in the Midlands of UK for 5 years from 1980 in construction. Although our family are all Australian, mum and dad continued to live in the UK after I returned to Australia. I returned for a trip to England in 1994 and with dad also continuing his trade as a carpenter, he took us all to a shop in Bakewell, Derbyshire (home of the Bakewell Tarts) that sold only carpenters hand tools... Never seen any shop like it anywhere else in the world..... Dad passed 3 weeks ago just shy of his 89th birthday. I think dad was excited to be in this shop just as much as me......Must be a tradie thing.

[@donnawarmouth9329]

You two did such a awesome job showing us that amazing boat. I thought Riley might pop with excitement!!! I’m so glad you guys share with us otherwise I’d never get to see the world.

[@steventrostle1825]

AS an easily sea sick land lubber all I can say is that Yacht is as beautiful as I have ever seen.

[@monsterhog1118]

Spirit boats are gorgeous 😍

[@timchapman8359]

Seeing a Spirit Yacht gives me hope in humanity somehow.

[@robm.4512]

Well done guys, you’ve done the hard miles and earned everything of the life you’re now living. The sailing community, the real sailing community, is a place filled with extraordinary, generous, people joined together by their common passion. Never doubt that you deserve your place at the table, you’ve lived it, suffered it, learned, cried, laughed and rejoiced in it. Above all, you’ve respected it and in return you have respect from it. It’s the biggest, most multi-skilled, most pro-active, most caring family you could ever wish to have around you. Congratulations!! It’s finally sinking in.😂 Thanks so much for featuring Spirit Yachts and for really nailing their ethos. They have built some of the most beautiful boats of the modern era and deserve so much more recognition on the world stage. Here’s to your next decade afloat. Cheers, R. 😎👍🍻

[@chrisfox9263]

Wow! You guys share "a dream come true" on a regular basis! Thank you for what you do and share with us 🙂

[@jimbetzing3587]

What a beautiful vessel!!! Thanks you two for taking us along! BTW, y'all behaved very well.

[@cliffdavis5244]

We had to wait for this one but what a doozy it is! Beautiful, beautiful fantastic boat❤

[@sarahlesueur]

I’m a mono hull girl at heart. This Spirit yacht is ultimate. Those lines in timber. Superb. ❤

[@SVSecondChance]

Nice boat thanks for sharing it.

[@dennispatrick4999]

One of my favorite Yachts now for years. 1st time knowing of Spirit Yachts was the BOND Film.

[@bigbearded4175]

Omg, This boat is so gorgeous, wow, just awesome..❤❤❤

[@jennycollins6231]

I’ve watched you guys since 2019 when I was in first year of uni! It makes my heart so warm seeing you guys in England travelling around! My favourite part of the week seeing you’ve uploaded a video honestly!!! 23 years on this earth and I’ve not been on a boat yet but one day I’ll be travelling around the seas as well!! xx

[@timothycheuvront8284]

The boat was a stunner! Awesome to see such great and thoughtful craftsmanship in a vessel...or anything for that matter. Thanks for sharing!

[@thomasstuder1624]

I have just had the fortune of visiting this beauty at Southampton boat show. I have never been on a yacht that came even close to this feeling. I had butterflies on this beauty.

[@ericlapointe838]

Such a beautiful vessel thank you for showing it's amazing craftsmanship

[@bloodyeyeful]

I particularly enjoyed the Mezzanine Level where they're doing the component parts and a lot of woodworking.

[@DrGonzoTravels]

WOW WOW WOW!!! The most beautiful boat I've ever seen!

[@yescarlett]

OmG, my favorite boat, the Spirit Yachy!! Right,100% art and craftsmanship!! What a blessing to sail aboard, Spirit Yacht! What a treat!! In my dream I will be joining you'll.😄May I?? Thank you, love you'll, happy sailing ahead on your new cat!! I will be with you you! The boys are blessed to have such great parents! Of which they will never ever forget. True that.

[@IsabellG964]

You are both truly an inspiration to all of us

[@siddens]

I’m sold. 72DH 🙌 I need it in my life. Thanks for including this in your 6 guys!

[@Sportsfilmappreciator]

You guys are the best!! I hope more people recognise your enthusiasm and passion which is a key to making all this work, you capture that so well!! Greetings from the U.K.!

[@MikeHarrison3266]

This was fun for me knowing exactly where you were, My family on Dad's side are from Suffolk and I have spent many hours in Ipswich, and yes I have seen Spirit Yachts. Love your videos as always.

[@shannonmize2307]

Stunningly beautiful boat and such an amazing couple to give us the tour. Mad love to you guys and the production quality of your videos is always top shelf.

[@markgreene7930]

Bond. James Bond. That was you two. What a spectacular yacht. WOW!

[@christyphucas]

100% a boat Kara & Nate would love… your tours are great but Kara would also be having the most fun showing it off! LOL

[@suefitz2498]

Gorgeous vessel and a real privilege for you to sail her. Love the details about the build from inception to finish. Can’t wait for the next ep ❤

[@iwal1645]

Spirti is one of my favorite boats/ship. I'm so glad you showed us the interior and exterior of the boat. It's the probably the closest I'll ever get to this ship. I love it's simplicity and attention to detail that turns me on. Hopefully once i finish my boat it will look as good as a spirit. You guys are the best. Thank you so much.

[@thinkforyourselfjohn3167]

Thank you for bringing us along beautiful yacht. Their attention to detail amazing. The woodwork is stunning.

[@swstrat]

Stunning. Such a beautiful piece of functional art, it elevates the spirit. And clearly did the same for you both, judging by the smiles per mile. Thank you for sharing this incredible experience.

[@hazelarnold9294]

Stunning boat, I know Ipswich very well.although live in Spain now. I used sail with my Dad on a catamaran shearwater when I was 9. I remember sanding her down and revarnishing her when we brought her home for the winter. Entered the local club races, but we was always too slow against the lighter boats. It didn't matter it was a great learning experience and a happy memory from my childhood. Love your videos ❤

[@richm9157]

All your episodes are good, this one was on another level. Very moving. Thanks for taking us along. . .

[@jacksultan8146]

That is pretty awesome

[@ANYTHINGISPOSSIBLEAPRIL]

actually so cool! like what kind of side life quests is going on here 😂😅??!?

[@Forehandsonly]

What a beautiful boat

[@hannahmonkcom]

Absolutely stunning. What a thing of beauty. Wonderful that boats of this calibre are still being made and it’s not all modern crisp white as you mentioned. Thanks for taking us places we’d never get a chance to go!

[@annabellegettingwell1531]

I feel so zen while watching this channel. Especially this video! It’s amazing!

[@lilygirl2719]

So glad Darwin was able to go do age appropriate things for the day while you went sailing. He is just being a little boy and will be absolutely fine when you get settled on your new home and knows more what to expect each day.

[@MsCissyBlue]

You guys - I really enjoyed this one. Thank you so much for all the info! Riley! You amaze us all!

[@kristenleblond5047]

I am sure you know what a STAR Sail Boat is. My dad owned a 1932 Star that was raced many, many times. My dad purchased the sailboat and restored it. We lived on a lake in Massachusetts, and my dad joined the sailing club on that lake. I have so many fond memories sailing with my mom and dad. I loved sailing with them.

[@bevtrue6937]

I am so happy to be cruising around in such a gorgeous craft. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@fraservickers5046]

That's where I learned to sail nearly 50 years ago. River Orwell, Woolverstone and the Royal Harwich Yacht club. Thanks for the flood of memories. Great video!

[@climbskibikenz]

When the materials you're building with are so nice, and the craftsmanship is so good, you can leave the construction exposed knowing it's going to be seen for the honestly crafted functional art that it is. Wonderful.

[@jackdedonato3512]

I understand the smell of worked wood. My dad was a capenter, and remember the smell of wood cutting and shavings. Real comforting, like moms chicken soup,. Spirt Yatchs is great. An almost lost art, beautiful.

[@scottspaine4864]

Wow! I lived in ipswich for 13 years. Cool to see you guys there.

[@samanthagonzalez4755]

Absolutely in love with this boat, its breath taking. I got chills and teary-eyed towards the end. I've been following ya'll since the beginning and it's heartwarming to see how much ya'll have accomplished ❤ to many more adventures and blessings 🥂

[@jamesbell8529]

I'm in awh, I can't say that particular Vessel fits You Guys but it's a Compliment ! As are You to it.

[@jefferyjeffery1707]

This was like my 62' ketch. Built in Port Townsend, WN.....where it was wood everywhere. Exposed laminated wood beams...hand made wood plank sole (flooring). Etc. It's unreal, to be hand built board by board. And yeah...Spirit in England. It's like what we made.

[@eileenderheim3768]

Great video! Love the thumbnail. ♥ Beautiful boat! The craftsmanship was next level! WOW!! Agree @KaraandNate would fit right in. 😉 Always love your content. Thanks for sharing.

[@richb313]

Thanks for showing such a beautiful yacht you both deserve all the perks and attention you get. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@jimstratfordfl]

The flood of natural light below is really amazing and makes the interior look so much bigger.

[@wolvesborn8046]

Nothing but smiles and amazement. It's really nice to see you guys enjoying your time! As a long time quality engineer, these types of shops always amaze me. Many of my quality techniques are not required with workers at that level. Simple tools, experience, and tons of care. I'm quite jealous!

[@erin4321]

YOU guys have me adicted. I never have any intentions of a boat life. HOWEVER I AM loving yours. SO much that i now ck in on Mondays for a new vlog. IM from Tx. USA, AND love seeing different aspects of the world and sea life. THANK YOU

[@chrismonroe4855]

'McYacht' is an instant classic, and good on you for promoting it. Gorgeous boat, and functional to boot.
