I grew up with Sir Roger as 007 and he's probably my favourite. I've read his autobiography and he comes across as having a great sense of humour. He was a keen practical joker and my favourite story was during the filming of The Spy Who Loved Me. There's a scene where he's driving the Lotus car that turned into a submarine out of the water and up the beach. He hid a fake fish in the car and as the cameras rolled and it drove up the beach he lowered the window and dropped it out. Apparently the director went mad, but people loved it so much that it made the movie! RIP Sir Roger, a legend.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I've just found the fish drop scene! Bear in mind he did this for a joke to wind up the director and look at the expression on his face - what a legend! :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/rorHdYuAh9KCiNE

[@mikemoore8135]

AQUAHOLIC great video! My last name is Moore so Roger is my obvious favorite 007!

[@TheSuprahuman]

I also grew up with Sir Roger as 007, my favourite Bond. A true gentleman. Finding his boat is great catch, Smugglers Blues III Nick? Cheers

[@tonyknox6739]

AQUAHOLIC ; SIR ROG (HER) MOORE had a couple of Cummings on his sunseeker, now now Nick you'll get demonetised by KZbin with language like that😂😂😂

Great video as usual,, very interesting.

[@notrut]

I was always jealous of Woger Moore ... snogging Jane Seymour. And Britt Ekland, Barbara Bach, Maud Adams and bizarrely Mrs Brosnan! Let's be honest though, at 46 in 1973 he was too old for Bond.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Daniel Craig is 52!

[@notrut]

@@AQUAHOLIC But, But, But Craig's first Bond outing was in 2006 ... when he was 38... 14 year later he's still the worst Bond.

[@Hutton2k10]

Lovely boat. As much as I love these tours, do yacht owners not feel bad about the environmental impacts of owning and operating a yacht (especially the larger ones)? Not looking to fight, just genuinely curious to see how people feel about it.

[@karlfriedrich7758]

What an incredible boat history! I'd never sell that if I owned it, Sir Roger Moore was the most suave James Bond of all

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Absolutely!!

[@Jodokus_Rendentanz]

Yes, sure in this storage were toys like rafts and scooters.... You can not trick us. The toys were guns, missile launchers and some unthinkable Q gadgets! Additional it has a great styled interior and the perfect name.

[@RobEJC]

I now expect a complete James Bond series, in fact.

[@lucapeisser5292]

Don‘t know if it was intentional or not but the Omega Seamaster on your wrist was a really nice touch - I guess it was intentional because you don‘t wear that watch a lot in your videos? For those who don‘t know, James Bond has worn an Omega Seamaster in every Bond movie since 1995

[@petertuite3885]

Sir Roger needed some money & his assistant Gareth helped to sell it on eBay for £60k

[@petermansion2220]

Nice one Nick. Roger was my Bond too. Great that you put some effort in and researched the boat.

[@fordsandfamilyfiascos6535]

Nice bit of history. Also comes with the original 1990's TV. LOL

Great tour Nick. Nineties boat maybe. Very cool definitely. 👍👍

[@etc-and-more]

What a cool boat and a cool former owner. Regarding the boat - you can see that it was a quality boat when built in the 90s by the way the interior has held up. Regarding the former owner - Always a smile and a witty line in the face of danger.

[@gareth36]

Lovely piece of kit with a great history to with it. Funny enough we have a boat on our club pontoon that was supposedly originally owned by Eric Morecombe, not sure if it's true or not but that's the story that goes with it. Thanks for the tour great as always.

[@justinsorci5998]

Sunseeker boats have nice style and quality, but I’ve always thought the name sounded a bit cheesy, and the company could have come up with a more elegant or sophisticated brand name. Sunseeker sounds like it would be a pontoon boat, and not a high quality yacht.

0:11 Roger Moore's first nickname was “the Big Knit” - so perhaps that's the "K"?! His autobiography ends “Not bad for a knitwear model.”

[@stachowicz_luigi]

Very nice! 😃 Sir Roger Moore was the best Bond in history and now I know how he was spending free time. Thx Aquaholic! 😉

[@chrisnicotra108]

Ha. what a great back story. I remember watching that Scene as a kid and thinking 'how did a fish get in there if it was water tight' all makes sense now. Not over keen on sir Roger's booat but love the history of it.

[@motor-head]

I also grew up with Roger Moore as 007. Some people say Sean Connery was the best bond ever but Sir Roger is my favorite. Thank you for the tour, lovely classic Sunseeker.

Great looking boat and tour to do it justice. Brave man going down to the bow with camera in hand! 🤪 Thanks Nick 👍

[@alisavas9526]

No matter what size boat, you make the tour very interesting. Great video as always and as for the boat, I'd love to own it. Compared to some places I lived in back in the day, this would be a palace. Thank you for sharing this boat and the wonderful story to go with it.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

"Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end..." I copied that paraphrase from something I might have remembered - but it seams to fit. Roger Moore represented the "tech agent" of super spies. His talents were always enhanced by his "goodies" - they never replaced his abilities. This boat is soooo that ethos (Word Of The Day calendar). A fun ride down memory lane (waterway) - thank you so much, Nick, for sharing...

[@v6offroad88]

Imagine being sat at that helm seat with the family relaxing behind you, just like sir roger was in his at his height of his bond fame when he wasthe owner ...cooler than a frost bitten penguin,ill say it again nick i do like the older boats as they just seem to oooz class even if not the fastest or most tech,bit like an e type or dino compared to modern equivalents..image being able to say ' my sunseeker was owned by sir roger moor ! Deffo Trumps bragging about pop up tvs and electric blinds 😂

[@setafavn]

Oh wow. I’m a huge James Bond fan. If I were able to buy a boat right now, this would be it! Great video Nick. I really enjoyed it

[@Old-Mad-Tom]

Great older boat. Classic! You do however know that there was only one trueJames Bond (Sir Sean Connery). All the rest were just not up to his standards. 😉👍🏻

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I know what you mean, but Sir Roger was always 'my' 007

[@normbond8888]

Only Sir Sean Connery was the epitome of the gentleman 007 & was what Ian Fleming wrote about. He was a suave, debonair, tough, secret agent for Queen & Country that Sir Sean portrayed best of all. All the other actors never quite lived up to the bar Sean Connery set. Sir Roger although credible as were others never quite reached that level. In my opinion.

[@justinlinnane8043]

Was that Barbara Bach reclining on the bed ? Oh God I hope so !! but i think this self isolation is getting to me !!

[@jeffwells9756]

Great find Nick, found that very interesting, i don’t know how you done it but I’m not complaining,,I agree I always thought he was the best 007 of all time too, I think it was his regal demeanour , very English swarve and loved how old jaws got electric ⚡️ zapped with the lamp, ha ha 👍🏻😎😂😂🍺⚓️

Always think older boats are let down by the fabric cover, they almost always look a little shabby and tired.

[@sweetfreedomGB]

Wow, incredible..made my day watching this. Huge Roge fan, right through from The Saint, Bond, and of course The Persuaders. I worked for Eon for six years and everyone there loved him, he was a true gentleman, generous and charitable. He really did live the Bond lifestyle too, frequenting all the usual Riviera haunts, and London too of course. Thanks again Aquaholic!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

That's interesting to hear. Everything I've read about him suggests exactly that. Awesome guy.

[@seanogs]

Roger Moore had the best sense of humor or all the Bonds, thus far. Sean Connery is the best of all the Bonds in my humble opinion. It's a nice boat. Thanks

[@peter58murray]

just looked there is loads of pics of roger and his wife on this boat

[@E92M3Guy]

Fantastic boat , it's just enough without being ostentatious, I went to see sir roger at an " evening with " at the grand theatre leeds in 2014 for 2 whole hours his P.A Gareth, could not get him off the stage , self depracating and wickedly funny anecdotes of all the tv shows and films he made , he also made no secret that he was quite a frugal man from a humble background , "although not as frugal as sean connery " he joked !!!. Nick did you find out what happened to the Glastron boat used in moonraker ?? . I would love to see a review of that if you ever track it down . 👍👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

No idea, but I remember it being a cool looking boat.

There's "particularly interested in showing" and then there's "particularly interested in buying"! As much as you love Smugglers Blues II, I think you would be a FANTASTIC owner if there was a Smugglers Blues III !! Considering its age, I'm VERY impressed with the condition of that boat! The leather, the helm station, the WHOLE BOAT look as close to new as possible! The only place that I could see needing some attention would be the teak flooring. It says a lot about the current owner and also the amount of quality Sunseeker put in their vessels! She's a very lovely and interesting vessel, for sure! Thanks for this Nick!! Cheers!!

Sir Roger was the Bond of my youth as well.... also, my family had a friendship with Bell Boats in Brundel... Vic Bell being behind the Moonraker 30 then 36 (softrider).... One of the early buyers was Roger Moore... the boat was called Lady Dorothy (if my hazy memory is right) after his second wife, Dorothy Squires.... When I was looking for a Moonraker a few years back, it was for sale, cheap and looking a little jaded... wish I had bought it 🙁 It was an early non flybridge sedan, twin 6354 Perkins ...... lovely boats, in my opinion.

[@macdchef]

Lovely looks and very practical .... pricey but worth it

[@MrRicardo11]

Nice Boat Nick unlike many others I don't think he was the best bond ever, I am pretty sure that Sean Connery has won that accolade. However he was a very gifted actor and a very good James Bond. At 89000 this has got to be a great purchase for someone.

Interesting piece of history Nick. I have a question you maybe able to answer. Pros & cons of pod vs shaft drive on any size boat. Also what do these super yachts do with their grey & black water environmentally? Thanks Nick & keep up the great work.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Shaft: Super-simple proven mechanics that can be fixed anywhere, minimal maintenance costs Pod: More efficient, vector independently for easy joystick manoeuvring, better engine/drive packaging usually creates more space for cabins Black water disposal - check Super Yacht Captain's KZbin channel, he has a video on exactly this

@@verona8144 How can I be wrong about something completely subjective? to me Connery captures the essence of Bond best, how can a subjective interpretation of a fictional character be factually incorrect? Also, this doesn't take away from Moore's portrayal of Bond, he was great! I just thought Connery was a better fit for the character.
