The ULTIMATE Liveaboard Superyacht? CdM Flexplorer 146 Maverick Tour & Review

[@JyttesTrailCamera]

So nice to see a yacht that is truly personal, and designed to live on. It's in the nature of private yachts that we never get to see them, until such time they come for sale, and by then they've often been refit for charter (and all look the same). Seems everybody made it on to Maverick, this is now my 3rd tour of her LOL, but I'm not complaining, she's worth watching.

[@Yachtbuyer]

I agree, so nice to be on board a yacht built with such a purpose in mind - Jack

[@jaffaholland4039]

This is the best boat I have ever seen, I thought Arrow would never be beaten. Stunning in all aspects. Seven years yes please

[@Yachtbuyer]

Quite something, eh? - J

[@evanprout8187]

I've seen other Channels show this boat but when you do a walkthrough you somehow make it look like a completely different boat. Love the boat, love the channel.

[@Yachtbuyer]

It’s amazing what a decent camera can do… 😉

[@matthewmartin1970]

Super yachts don't normally do it for me but this one is just a different level of cool. Very stylish but in a much more casual and relaxed way. Loved everything about it and I'm pretty jealous of the fun the family will have travelling the world on board. Fantastic.

[@Yachtbuyer]

I agree Matthew. A superyacht like this goes much further than the usual luxuries - Jack

Just a beautiful vessel! Pretty incredible 7 years on the water for the family! Quite the exploration!!

[@discodavecurrie9709]

What a yacht. Loved all the personnel touches. A true family super yacht. More of the same Jack!!!

[@jeffmcallister7040]

This is a gorgeous yacht that would pamper you anywhere in the world for a very long time without having to go into port. If you really want to getaway from things, this would be your boat. Great review👍.

[@Yachtbuyer]

Thanks Jeff, I agree with all of that - J

[@seekexplorewander]

I am genuinely impressed with this ship. As always you guys do an amazing job of touring the boat - but most importantly, explaining so much along the way - about the ship, about the industry, and about stuff that us mortals may not know or think about. As for the ship - this is such an amazing balance between upscale luxury with practicality. It looks and I'm willing to be would feel in person, amazing, but it's not stuffy. It's chic and well designed and yet feels homely. It has exactly what the owners want but also what the crew would need to make living and working onboard for seven years actually work. Kudos to the owners for designing something so impressive!

[@1967Stotty]

Fabulous… one of the best motor yachts I’ve seen reviewed.

[@ocean.222]

A truly impressive yacht, the best I've seen! Everyone involved in designing and decorating it, including the family, should be extremely proud of what they have achieved. It is great to see a yacht that is made for living onboard and not just occasional holidays and entertaining. I wish the family well on their voyage, bon voyage.

[@seanogden927]

This is an awesome yacht, love everything about it. Great tour Jack thank you.

[@Yachtbuyer]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@popeyepanther4519]

Longtimerviewer here. You and owner both done well. Thanks for showing us this.

[@Yachtbuyer]

My pleasure, thanks for watching and supporting the channel! - Jack

[@terminator20064]

Wow, beautiful. This is the first YB video I have seen and it is good. I found the owners and guests being able to be self sufficient quite refreshing.

[@Yachtbuyer]

Great! Glad you enjoyed it - Jack

[@StevenGalinn]

What a beautiful design both architecturally and interior! It all makes so much sense. I always enjoy your Vlogs Jack. You present very well, you are obviously knowledgeable. I think that I could enjoy myself on a boat like this. It sounds like the family who owns this are very "down to earth". Which is awesome.

[@Yachtbuyer]

Thanks Steve, appreciate the kinds words - Jack

[@skatapc]

Wonderful presentation, well done Jack!

[@Yachtbuyer]

Thank you! - J

Simply stunning , love what they have done , my sort of life , so well thought out , great tour as always, thanks for taking the time

[@Yachtbuyer]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it - Jack

[@fishtigua]

She has packed more into that hull size than we managed on a 65m. Ok, we had a 10,000 mile range and a recompression chamber in the dive-room. Bloody lovely boat.

[@Yachtbuyer]

Absolutely. It’s a Tardis of a thing! - J

[@sohovulture87]

Blimey, absolutely cracking tour of an astonishing yacht! Really enjoyed this one, thanks J and team

[@pascallopez7854]

Absolutely beautiful boat ,one of the best layouts I have seen , the integration of all decks are superb ,works as one !!

[@Friday_Trouble]

The owners and designers did a great job on this one

[@Zerobar78.]

It's incredible what the engineers/designers are able to pack into a vessel like that these days!!

[@Yachtbuyer]

Agreed. Amazing levels of engineering for a private vessel - Jack

[@MrDLYouTube]

Was pretty fast through the living room, but from what I saw, this has to be the first time I have seen a yacht with an actual serious sound system. Floor standing speakers, and from what I can see, judging from the look of the ceiling, a huge TV folds down. Nice home theatre in other words. This boat has everything you need. Gym, home theatre, serious kitchen, pool, incredible relaxation zones etc etc. Brilliant.

[@Yachtbuyer]

Correct on all points! 👏

[@DaddySundaySchool]

This boat is epic. Such a well thought out and laid out design.

[@C2K777]

I see the rationale about her use. Having been an avid viewer for years and having therefore seen my fair share of SY's. This one immediately stood out to, along with speaking to, me about its beauty in both form & function. Outside looking in aside. I genuinely hope that this family's 7 year adventure brings all the joy and unique experiences they are aiming for. The yard and the design team deserve recognition for what they've created.

[@Yachtbuyer]

Yep, she’s a standout design all right - J

[@The-Droll-and-LazyJoker]

Master state room is awesome, and would be perfect space to live in for 7... years!

[@maryholder3795]

Sometime Jack you get that ship that will stop you snd the viewers in their tracks. Maverick certainly does that. An exploration yacht capable of dealing with any types of sea. A boat to look after a family and crew, that is safe, comfortable, a family home from home. Would love to see her walk her exterior and interior, she quality exceptional quality. Thanks Jack.

[@Yachtbuyer]

Thanks Mary, glad you enjoyed this one! - Jack

[@jaymoroscak4784]

Absolutely gorgeous - thanks for a great tour Jack. Cheers!!

[@kevinmcgann1372]

Wow, just wow. What a magnificent yacht. Love it, great video!

[@Yachtbuyer]

Many thanks!

[@SimonJeffery-g9b]

Love an explorer MY. Maverick would be my ultimate boat it ticks every box. What an amazing experience the owners are going to have, not to mention the crew. The internal detail and functionality are brilliant. Lovely design, what a great idea a swinging seat! not bling at all which just isn't me. Great presentation as ever Jack. 👍

[@Yachtbuyer]

Thank you Simon, glad you liked the video - Jack

[@richarddavies2768]

I think that when you have a "live on" yacht, it is o needs to be very practical, not just full of arty objects that have no use just visual pleasure. Love this yacht with all the little self service kitchenettes.

[@ro2778]

I would quite happily live on that, what a wonder education those children will have

[@ellaskins]

On my bucket list… great video… great presentation

[@Yachtbuyer]

Thanks! Glad you liked it - Jack

[@cookiemonster2299]

Wow phenomenal, I'm left feeling this might be the most impressive yacht you've toured so far, imagine being able to just allocate the next 7 years of your life to travelling the world on a yacht like this, it's very rare for me to feel envious but this vid really did in a similar way that the vauxhall corsa boys and girls will be envious of this yachts exhaust system 😆🥴, cheers team. 👍❤️🇬🇧

[@Yachtbuyer]

I’m very fortunate to get on board yachts like this but something about Maverick really struck a chord with me. Something, if money allowed, I’d dream to do with my family - Jack

[@cookiemonster2299]

@Yachtbuyer I hear ya 👍❤️

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

She is a dream yacht. If I had that kind of money, I wouldn't hesitate for a split second in buying one. The 7 year world cruise planned, I would love that. My only gripe and this is just me personally. I much prefer the owner cabin on the main deck. Then above the sky lounge come home cinema. I've said if I was to live like this the crew would be friends. I wouldn't want them running around unseen. They would be lounging around with me, having fun. Great tour Jack, thanks for taking us on a tour of her. Now just need those lottery numbers to come up

[@Yachtbuyer]

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed the tour 👍 - Jack

[@norarivkis2513]

I've always thought the same about crew. I can't imagine living in that kind of close proximity with people who weren't my friends. I usually end up making friends even with people I hire part time to do household jobs who *aren't* live-in. So if I'm going to hire staff for a yacht -- and I might end up doing that one day; my husband and I have talked about maybe selling our house and going liveaboard on a catamaran in a few years, with a couple of crew to help us handle the serious ocean sailing we'd want to do -- then I will definitely need to be careful to hire people who won't feel like strangers.

[@scottfortune9016]

I've seen this boat on other channels. She's really nice. Great live aboard.

[@bubbleobill267]

Yes please!.

[@vijilant]

One thing about super rich people I've learned is that they're incredibly unlikely to actually do the 7 year trip before they get bored and move on to something else. Best case, family members will be in and out of the boat regularly, flying in to meet it for a few weeks a few times a year and then jetting off to hang out with the other rich kids, do work, whatever. Maybe that's the idea - easy enough to land a heli on the back of this thing.

[@GalacticAussie]

Very nice Yacht indeed. Oh to have that much money to firstly, buy the yacht, but also to cruise around the world for 7 years with crew.

[@marioh5172]

I wish this young German family Gute Reise!

[@SvikDK]

My dream boat, this one have it all :)

[@MichaelEarl-j6z]

The perfect yacht

[@TheJerrydon575]

And here I am thinking I'm happy with the Princess X95 lol. I'm small potatoes compared to this beauty!

[@Chastening]

Mark Lewis must be really making bank from KZbin to be able to get this yacht in addition to his Top Gun bike. Beautiful yacht!

[@Yachtbuyer]

Ha! Big fan of his channel so funny you should mention him - Jack

[@TheHaughtyOsprey]

What has kept me from buying things like this is the upkeep and crew/staff costs. I bought a smaller home and property because of the long-term maintenance costs and increasing labor costs. If I feel like enjoying something like this, I'll just rent the experience or go small for the long term. I have family that have had vessels like this, and they've never kept them for very long. I would rent something like this for a season, sure.

[@timpalmiter1606]

A very intelligent comment that will likely go underappreciated in the comments section

[@burtmcaster4739]

And everyone’s different. Just because it’s not for you, it’s obviously for others. No one cares that you wouldn’t want to own one 🙄

[@troycarpenter4355]

It would be interesting to see how the crew is managed for these long, round the world trips. How long do they spend on board ? Are they couples ? and so on. It could make a nice follow up video.

[@Yachtbuyer]

From the (albeit brief) conversations I had with some of the crew during the shoot, they seemed very excited and thrilled to be on a yacht that was going to take them places. It’s clearly a pretty unique assignment but incredibly rewarding for the right person - Jack

[@SpatialGuy77]

“Home AWAY from Home” Jack ol’ mate: “Home AWAY from home!” 🤦🏻‍♂️ Maverick reminds me of a Crazy Big BG!

[@hermanjansenvanvuuren6134]

Was that a Jeep in the water behind you just after the intro?

[@Yachtbuyer]

Something amphibious (I hope!), yes. Good spot! - Jack

[@dirkangelwolf]

What about the crew accomodation?!

[@Yachtbuyer]

As I said in the video, the crew were busy using so we couldn’t film it - J

[@lunchrevisited]

I didn't see a dedicated pizza oven, but otherwise I'd take it.

[@SpatialGuy77]

3rd comment - sorry. If I went to that boat show, can a nobody like me walk on and view that boat (and all the others)? How does all that work?

[@Yachtbuyer]

By the usual standards of a yacht show, CdM and the Maverick crew were very approachable and granted good access to the yacht. That said, if you’re not a member of the media then the shipyard or a broker will likely vet you before allowing you on for a viewing and it would definitely have to be pre-arranged. It’s different in the world of production boats, however - Jack
