SEA TRIAL! Fairline Targa 40

[@jwebb3337]

Aquaholic, the man who tours every boat made, the man who knows boats better than anyone, chooses the Targa 40. With publicity like that, they should pay YOU to buy it! Great trial, Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Now I LIKE that idea..! 😄

[@AlphaGatorDCS]

Agreed...Smuggler's Blues 3, a sponsored gifting of a Fairline Targa 40 :)

[@maryholder3795]

Not to mention the review he is giving it right now.

[@blockmaster509]

Also Princess v39 or V40 looks great for you ​@@AQUAHOLIC

[@hennagal7360]

Here here - very favourable terms

[@chasbodaniels1744]

For us mere mortals, this is a biiigggg boat that really moves! I’m properly buzzed from watching this over Sunday morning coffee.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it! 😃

[@josh_bfc_2769]

Epic drone shots. What a beautiful boat. Great video Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Pretty cool huh!? Not mine, I have to say, we had a professional along and he did a great job.

[@maritimefilminguk]

Thank you Josh! ❤️😎

[@christopherchapman7453]

This is hands down my favorite boat so far on the channel! The look, the features, the layout, and the fit and finish is amazing for a 40 foot boat! This would be perfect for lake powell ❤

[@mmsmits2868]

Beautiful drone footage - you're such a professional. And as we already saw, the boat is perfect. Whatever you do, just remember that life is remarkably short...

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It wasn't me, it actually was a professional! He did a great job. 🙂

🦘🇦🇺 Thank you so much Nick for taking me out for a spin on such a wonderful boat. It made for such a lovely weekend on the big screen. 🛟🙏

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome! 🙂

[@kieranharriman7055]

Great to see you handling a bigger boat. Your face said it all. K

[@glenoxman7904]

Wow what a boat, the 2 films you've done on it have been brilliant. Fairline should make you their brand ambassador.

[@lisaevans5840]

I really love this boat. Just the right size to spend a week or too to take a trip up to Alaska and B.C.. Perfect. Thanks again for a great tour in the previous video and a great ride in this video.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@darrylalford8879]

WOW Nick, I had to do a double take when you were showing drone coverage. I was expecting something smaller (Smugglers Ii) considering the way it was handling. I've gone back to your tour to rewatch your video. That is amazing !! Thank you Sir Nick. Safe travels !!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It's pretty cool isn't it?

[@darrylalford8879]

Very smooth !!

[@marchport]

This boat definitely suits you! She’s a beautiful craft and looks great on the water!

[@bobuncle8704]

Man, oh man. This Targa 40 really suits you Nick. Sea trial looked awesome

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Doesn't it though..? 😃

[@joecotter9014]

Nick - just do it and treat yourself to one, surely thats what putting the hard work and effort into the channel is for? The content it would give would be amazing - placing order and specification, taking delivery, learning the vessel, on board and at sea, the trips, the memories- the list goes on and you can share them with us all. Pretty sure James will give you a discount if you ask nicely too😀

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It would indeed. So would the payments be! 😄

[@joecotter9014]

@@AQUAHOLIC While you're sitting there drinking your tea/coffee it's worth thinking about though - but I understand your apprehension, maybe a collaboration with Jack@Yachtbuyer and a 2nd channel for you both.......

[@jamesellsworth9673]

I suspect that this would not be the year for Nick to splash out on an expensive boat.

[@janethowe8812]

That's a great idea. Nick should take us through the entire buying process. From researching the boat, determining your specific needs, examining the fit and finish, the trial run to put it thru the test, to laying out the cash. 'How to Purchase the Right Cruiser for You and Your Lifestyle."

[@jgriff3218]

She rides wonderful on the choppy day. Looks beautiful planned out .

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Suits You Sir, oOO suits you! Great Promotional Video of the Fairline 40 too. Great turns excellent drone footage.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you liked it! 🙂

[@tuckertucker1]

Smuggler's Joy Always nice to see you behind the wheel Nick. Well done.

[@jaytaylor965]

Great as always! That seems to be the perfect size boat. Fairline is really doing great things lately. First the Squadron 58 and now this one!

[@fredericforton3733]

This boat is great, nice design and rapid.

[@MrOllieBD]

Oh Nick, I knew it would be worth the wait! That laugh when you knocked it into gear says it all. Then the drone shots as I’d hoped with the perfect music, horns over strings… spot on 👌Very jealous indeed but even sat at Starbucks, floating’s boating! Cheers Nick 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

🙂

[@choyblack528]

They really stuck it to the competition with this one. perfect! and yes I want one too 😂

[@andrewwatson7379]

That was amazing....whoever is in the fortunate position to be able to commit to such an indulgence....and indeed know what to do with it....I wish you all the best

[@leecolley139]

You have GOT TO get one of those. You look like a proper captain piloting that machine! Also, this is a beautifully done piece of video work. Bravo!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you very much!

[@seanogden927]

That looks so much fun, wish I could be there. Great video Nick thank you for taking us along.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

[@sapienthaggis3466]

Sublime drone footage of this bonny little wave dancer . Serious contender for Smugglers Blues 3? , well done Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

He did a fantastic job!

[@Kim_Jensen]

This is just AWESOME, the spine chilling lift off and those drone shots, all lovely 😃 Thanks you so much Nick for an adventure 😀

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@gerardwalker2159]

By far my favourite boat ive ever seen you review

[@AI_admin]

loved the music! pretty boat, looked so much bigger from the drone footage! 🙂

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It is a fairly big boat at 40ft. 🙂

[@scottgordon1781]

Saw the tour , can understand why you want to upgrade :-) yes the sea was fairly flat , she sailed over it so smoothly , even at full tilt .

[@bryduhbikeguy]

To me, that proves that their ships are not only wonderfully kitted out, but are also great handling. It looked effortless to cut through the waves, and smooth them out. You've made me want one even more.Thank you Fairline, and as always, you Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome! 🙂

[@CrashLoveless]

Love this video. We see the beauty of the interior of these boats so often and they’re amazing features, but isn’t all that often we actually get to see the performance you talk about when you show the engine rooms. Great video, and it’s clear a ball doing this one you know with a bit of a nudge and a wink they might give you a really good discount off this thing if you kept featuring it 😉🤣👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😃

[@phillo1818]

Brilliant drone work! I assume the drone pilot was the one sent to ensure you (Nick) returned with the boat in a timely manner? She has a bigger ship look in a small package that is quite pleasing to the eye. That coming from someone who does not like sport style boats, way to go Targa 40!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

He did a great job!

[@maritimefilminguk]

We were tasked to follow Nick with a remote shut off for the engines ;)

[@johnboy4014]

More of these trials please !

[@AQUAHOLIC]

More coming! 🙂

[@strider6920]

When I win this weeks big Euromillions, I will buy two, one for me and one for you Nick😊. It will be your Smuggler’s Blue III ! I love the style and performance of this boat. You really looked like you were having fun. Thanks for showing us this sea trial Nick 😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Finges crossed! 😃

[@amc5966]

What an absolute daaawwwg of a boat! Great droning and footage. Impeccable!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you! He did a great job with the drone.

[@taxpayer1040]

Well someone has to do it - as ever a tough life if you don't weaken a better one if you do!! It will I think become a classic profile. The bow profile from the drone shots is just gorgeous. The sort of boat one could wish to disappear with and mysteriously never return. Wonderful episode and obvious as I said when you did the tour you yourself liked this one.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it! 😃

[@tonyirving4154]

Wow, that was fantastic. What a beautiful boat, it looks so graceful on the water, and some fantastic camera work, too brilliant shots. That was fantastic, thank you, Nick. Great video. Best wishes to you 👍🛥⛵️🚤

A boat fit for a Bond villain……even bond himself I remember that video you did many years ago of Sir Rodger Moore’s boat it was about the same size as I recall anyway Nick I think you should place the order 👍😀

[@MrPantss]

Such a great looking boat. It’s interesting when you are trying to check around you it’s a bit of a pain compared to a fly bridge or open cockpit like your boat, lots of pillars and structure in your way. Saying that if I had one I would live with it ❤

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you very much!

[@chrisbmorningstar]

Great to watch you having so much fun

[@johnschieffelin3226]

Great sea trial Nick, thank you. From the running shots, it looked to me as if the Targa 40 features fairly chubby bow sections and due to that the boat bounced over waves rather than cutting through them. But the plump bow affords a voluminous stateroom, so it may well be a worthwhile compromise.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
