Martin, You hit a grand slam with your presentation. Don't change a thing! I watch a lot of these boat tours and it is refreshing to not hear some daydreaming swab jockey-style peddler trying to sell you their vision of what owners yachting isn't in reality. Make more. I subscribed. Thx, Ed Browne

Great boat walkthrough. I'll have to rethink the trawler dream😮

[@walkervalleymedia]

@@wayneanderson1641 you could still run it at hull speed and get some great range and still have good speed being 87’

[@terrydouglas2777]

Beautiful yacht. It has classic home look when you see inside the doorway from the cockpit. I have to say all the areas was laid out with style and comfort in mind. Having that huge storage under the pilot house, wow that is a huge area for anything you want to store out of mind. I'm sure you can even add a chest freezer in that space along with shelving for dry goods for kitchen so you don't run out when you went out for a month voyage. Food and fuel will limit us on how long we can stay out. You both done a great tour for us, thank you to both you guys.

[@hubschenk1652]

Perfectly and professionally presented. A very comfortable yacht that looks much more modern on the outside than its age would suggest. The interior is well thought out and very comfortable. It could be problematic if something breaks on a 37-year-old yacht and spare parts are no longer available (engines).

[@walkervalleymedia]

@@hubschenk1652 this is a 2007 model year boat 87 feet long. Engines should be good for 18000+ more hours at least

[@bikersoncall]

3:47 Amazing crew accommodations.

[@hvac7377]

This is the best laid out yacht I've seen on youtube hands down. This yacht can sleep 12 with the bedrooms and another 6 to 8 with all the couches if they were pullout beds. Also there's 3 galleys and 1 outside deck with a grill, fridge and sink, all the bottom outside deck needs is a grill to go with the fridge and freezer. Then to have 6 full baths and 2 half baths is amazing. For a yacht under 100', most of the 100's aren't laid out this well. This is the one, it won't last.

TBH I am a die hard Arksen fan because of it's Class O build and focus on surivabilty, system redundency and genuine autonomy [ 7k Nm] BUT this boat is very tempting...add solar panels to the unused areas to sustain hotel loads plus dedicated battery room and I really could be tempted: some really nice features but then again, it's not meant to be an Explorer but a really nice space to be in - and it is one of the most appealing I have seen.

@@renedebosscher6669 I watched it, I can make a B-roll highlight reel also, but your missing all the actual content of the boat, what engines does it have? What is the range? Is it setup for formal dining? How many crew? Stabilizers? So much is left unanswered for a serious yachtsmen in those reels thats all flash and no substance. Also we shoot these in one take, and for this particular one, we weren’t able to get off the dock. Keep an eye out for highlight reels if you want to see short fast clips of boats. These longer cuts are for people who are more serious.

Why 2 helms?

[@mikehicks8064]

Nice boat. My advice to the seller- spend 3 grand and replace those outdated TV's. They lend an overall impression of an outdated boat. I understand not wanting to throw money into a boat that you're selling, but you're asking over 2 million. 3 grand is a drop in the bucket.

[@caseylimbert266]

This is a beautiful boat but I don't understand the point of having two enclosed Helm stations

[@walkervalleymedia]

I can agree, when its time for electronics refit you could maybe consider removing one of them, but when your way out there redundancy is good in many ways as well. Everything is a trade off.

[@prhanson]

I agree 100% especially because they are basically attached to each other, just a couple stairs apart. I would understand a fly bridge helm station.

Gorgeous yacht - just one shortcoming: fiberglass. The sinking of that sailing yacht would have me thinking twice about the sliding doors to the salon as well. They said they could have been a factor in its sinking. I think I'd want another safety door (one that could be dogged) whether it was a motor yacht or sailing yacht.

[@walkervalleymedia]

@@youdontwanttoknow5203 are you European? I find it interesting how much the US seems to favor fiberglass and Europe seems to prefer steel for trawlers at least .

[@youdontwanttoknow5203]

@@walkervalleymedia No, I'm a US citizen of 70+ years. I just prefer something reliable, puncture resistant, and steadier in the water. I've seen a lot of videos about the Bering and why steel is better. The quality of those yachts is unsurpassed. There are gorgeous fiberglass yachts, don't get me wrong. Like this one - I just prefer steel 🙂
