The king of the party boats | Fjord 53XL yacht tour | Motor Boat & Yachting

[@Jaycsee66]

A Very good report, considering they didn't make it easy for you. I don't know why some manufacturers, seem to go out of they're way to make it difficult for you guys. More people are going to see the boat via your report then at a boat show.

[@hugoandreae3785]

True but you’d be pretty hacked off if you’d come to a show with a tonne of money burning a hole in your pocket only to be told you can’t get on the boat as there’s some low life journo shooting a home movie onboard 😁!

[@matthewlynch5645]

Exactly!!!!

[@lockywylie]

100% corect fjord need to be told free advertising rocks shame on them

[@benmartin5714]

THANKS! for visiting the crew cabin. Not many walthroughs even find it, let alone peep into it.

[@RandomGuyRandomNumber]

I think I would be pretty hacked off when I woke up the next day and there was a ragged row of holes in that very expensive wrap where the fender lines rubbed through on that hull style line. And I would be even more annoyed when I woke up the next week to see a matching set of gashes in the teak cap rail that just took a little while longer to show up. Custom designed fenders, with custom storage cubbies, but just tie them to a handrail and let them chafe away ? Modern yacht design at its finest.

Lovely boat....lovely presentation. Too bad to be faced with a collection of mopes standing and sitting around with their faces stuck in their devices blocking up the flow around the space.

[@hugoandreae3785]

Thanks for the kind comment. To be fair to them they are probably Fjord dealers putting together quotes for customers

[@colinwatt00]

I’d be happy to be an owner/operator of this boat and charter people around.

[@curtcoeurdelion]

Nice boat, close second to the Pardo 52 GT.

[@erinrosehallett]

Really hard work watching these videos of his.

[@hugoandreae3785]

Quite hard work making it too given the number of people on board!

[@stevefitchett6193]

Then don't watch them. You literally have to make a conscious effort to watch them and then you complain.

[@floridaoutdooradventures8981]

If this had an outboard engines, it would have more room for everything else, and it is also easier to maintain the outboards.

[@MonicaHolly143]

Lol outboard

[@HanseYachtsAG]

Thanks for this tour!

[@dreamfunction4491]

Did you guys plan this for Hugo ? If you did then Very bad planning on YOUR part with all the people on board. If not, then disregard.

[@Vinddraken]

Any info about the boat next to it?

Hi. What's happened to Jack on the reviews, moved on?

[@matthewmartin1970]

Hope not.

[@tonyosullivan2382]

Was literally going to ask the same question. His reviews are unrivalled. Hope he's not gone. Maybe he's gone creating his own new channel..

[@jamesnbd57]

According to LinkedIn, Jack Haines left in May and is working for a channel called Yachtbuyer, but I can’t find it. Sunk without trace? Shame.

It is cool, no doubt... nut I really cant see 1.3 million here...

Non ho capito se la cabina per il marinaio è una cuccia per cani, o ci possono vivere anche gli esseri umani

Fast and roomy day boat.

[@lockywylie]

i realy felt for you on this one hugo them letting 50 odd people getting in your way all the time omg these vids reach millions fjord people need a kick in the ass to bloke it of for a few minutes would have been a greater vidio

[@hugoandreae3785]

Would have been easier but can’t expect them to kick everyone off at short notice and on this occasion I didn’t have the option of waiting for a quieter moment. Some quieter, more exclusive tours and sea trials to come in the days ahead

[@otto5378]

Why is this just a day boat? Why couldn't you spend a month on this thing?

[@hugoandreae3785]

You could but most people who intend to do that would buy a boat with much more inside space, protection, range etc

[@otto5378]

@@hugoandreae3785 I see, thank you.

[@karatejoe5049]

That garage closure seems cheesy af.

[@jonnowocky8179]

Even as a pretty inexperienced boater there seems to be a lot of weird / silly ideas on this thing, especially considering the money they’re asking

[@matthewlynch5645]

Insufferably rude crew!!

[@hugoandreae3785]

To be fair to them I said I was happy to try and work around them given that I didn’t have time to wait for a later slot when the boat was less busy

[@matthewlynch5645]

@@hugoandreae3785 thanks for explaining that Hugo.... Still!!!!! Annoyingly I loved the boat. Great walkthrough

[@clifbradley]

Looks very nice. Not 1.3 million nice, but nice. Surprised you didn't start throwing elbows and just throw out your best Piker accent and tell the lot of them 'Oy...iffya not be wantin' a head bashin', yer best be movin outta me freaking way!' Then you roll the sleeves up and let them know you're ready. It ain't the first time Hugo has cleaned every person off the decks of a boat. Be it with MP5, Benelli M4, H&K MP7 or a Sig P226 and his fists he will get you off and get the shot. And ya best not be gettin in his way! Lol. j/k

[@hugoandreae3785]

Maybe I should take you along as my personal protection next time!

[@clifbradley]

@@hugoandreae3785 Hahaha anytime. I'd love to get back on yachts. Going through a nasty divorce from a very nasty woman who did some very nasty things to me and our kids. So going to a boat show and providing personal security for the great Hugo would be an honor. I live in Florida so either FLIBS or PBIBS would be the ideal setting. Of course MB&Y would need to cover some hotel and food expenses. Personal security requires minimal payment. I'd love to cover it all myself, but again..nasty divorce. Got 4 kids and I'm on disability and she gives me and the kids she abandoned the lowest amount possible. Her own kids. Anyway, story for another time. I got some great sea stories from being a deckhand for 5 years. Plus I'm entertaining as all can be. You might be laughing so much, it will be hard to film. It is Florida too, so the people we meet I can dazzle them brilliance and if that fails, riddle them with bullets! We'll see them Nautistyles and that Nick (Aquaholic) and we'll get the jump on whatever yachts they're filming, and film it first and put it out. Right from the yacht, no editing at all, one take. It'll be brilliant and maybe horrible. But we'll be first!!

[@matthewlynch5645]

🤣🤣🤣

[@gritnltw]

Designwise, they copied Wally. Before they copy Wally’s design language they had no identity.

[@joev3512]

Bunch of useless tire-kickers sitting around doing nothing. If you can‘t afford and arenˋt seriously considering buying one, gtfo the boat. Still, thanks Hugo for the tour.

[@hugoandreae3785]

I suspect some of them were Fjord dealers from around the world. They all tend to flock to Cannes to show their new models to prospective customers from their own home markets

[@jaffaholland4039]

Totally would not buy this

[@KingMinosxxvi]

crew cabin?

[@licence1001011]

Yes please

[@ianscott3180]

A very rich persons toy. Where would the normal sailor/ boater keep it. Outside my small house in the city? At a marina and book an hotel for myself and my guests for a weekend. Please show us proper boats for proper people. Some more second user examples would be good of boats we could all consider.

[@thelifeandtimesofteddywint5396]

Surely Motor boat and yachting can do better than looking over someone else's shoulder to see a boat. How about have a conversation with someone to get a quieter slot??

[@hugoandreae3785]

The primary role of boat shows is to sell boats so they won’t clear the boat during the day and we’re usually busy sea trialling boats during the morning and evening slots so we sometimes have to grab what we can when we can or miss out on a boat entirely.

[@thelifeandtimesofteddywint5396]

@@hugoandreae3785 you don't think KZbin videos of new boats helps to SELL boats? What planet are you on?? I think you best email KZbin and tell them the error of their business plan, numbnutts.

They really don't clear the boat for the motor boat and yachting tours do they . !!! or are you just not getting up early enough Hugo ?? tut tut !!
