Absolutely remarkable she is 37 years old...a credit to the owner and crew.

[@remi000simon]

It’s in amazing condition

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

I agree, if all yachts were looked after as well as this surveyors would be out of a job!

[@Ron-zr6se]

She is 47 years old and a real beauty.

[@kbflorida888]

Incredible that she put to sea when Ronald Reagan was president.

[@mkprivate7523]

Gorgeous vessel for sure but is was (probably completely) refurbished only 5 years ago - at considerable expense, I am amazed though how they kept the original design intact - major props to the owner for his/her taste.,

[@jacquesmertens3369]

It comes as no surprise that this yacht sold within a few months. The build quality, the design and the attention to detail are off the scale. This yacht has been loved like no other. Congratulations to the new owner !

[@dazthesailor6363]

Probably the nicest example of a classic yacht from the 80s . Stunning and well designed with top pedigree. Would buy this in a heart beat and be a very proud owner …next to all the plastic fantastic yachts

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

I had a few drinks with the Broker Ed Dickinson last night - we were looking at other Feadships of a similar style and size on the market...there's really nothing that comes close to this one.

[@dazthesailor6363]

@@Yachtsforsaleblog sometimes in life you come across something special . Nice to see how this boat has been looked after . Even without the fancy things like beach clubs etc this is a true cruising yacht with build quality . I was looking at spec and being a yacht owner 45 ft plastic fantastic I was interested to see the engine hours and how high they are. I do understand these are not your yanmar , Volvo or Mann found in most production yachts so would be great if you could do a vlog on how these big commercial style engines our built and how long they run for , or can they keep being overhauled and almost keep running for ever ? Followed your work for years David and just want to say Thankyou and have a great New Year🍻🚤⛵️⛵️🚤🚤

[@tellnets]

Never during any of your videos have I been more on the edge of my seat. Just take a sip already!

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

haha! Glad you enjoyed that bit 😂

[@davehughes72]

She is a real credit to both owner and crew.

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

She really is, I don't think I've ever seen a yacht with such an amazing maintenance schedule, the owner does everything possible to keep her looking and performing like a new yacht.

[@henrylees-buckley2584]

It’s a Feadship and deserves this level of care and attention. They are so well engineered and built that refitting makes a lot of sense. These are not disposable yachts, like some. Well done to the owner and another well presented episode David! Never get tired of seeing move evidence of Feadship quality.

[@remi000simon]

I have never seen a fead ship. Before. I. Like explorer. Ships. But. These are like the. The same type. But. Flasher

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Thanks Henry, hope you are keeping well. Have a Happy New Year!

[@henrylees-buckley2584]

@@Yachtsforsaleblog Happy New Year David! In England for Christmas and the rain! Caribbean is calling 😂

[@terot8341]

Interior reminds more like classical style mansion than superyacht. And exterior classic -80 yacht style, what an unbeatable combo that is. Thank you Nick, ehm, sorry, David for tour this magnifficent peace of art for us mortals.

[@gospelofrye6881]

One understands the style of that mansion is "Hamptons beach club".😉

[@ghggp1]

One word… EXQUISITE! Would always prefer classics over new when it has been taken care of with such perfection!

[@howardmckenna]

A truly splendid boat that has matured like the finest of wines. Sumptuous luxury always wins over bling and glitz for me. The interior gives off a wonderfully homely vibe. It just looks so "livable".

[@scottmulrooney8483]

She's absolutely georgous, she's quite the classy lady who is ageless!

[@tobus71]

Holy Moley, David she is stunning!, the walkthrough position graphics is a great addition. The owner clearly loves her and you have to admire and be humbled by their dedication, makes me wonder what on earth they are upgrading to.

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Glad you enjoy the addition of the plans. I'm trying to make it a regular feature, sometimes surprisingly GA plans are not available - but when they are we'll always use them from now on.

[@seanthornton9969]

This is my Idea of a "Proper" Yacht, wood and leather, well designed and laid out. Ownership of this yacht would truly be a dream!

[@Kinleith621]

Oh my…..👍 thank you and may I wish you a very prosperous new year. Keep them coming. 😀

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Thank you too - and a Very Happy New Year to you as well.

[@Ron-zr6se]

David, this yacht is simple elegance and there is no doubt that Feadship is the cats meow of yachts. The interior has just enough of the classic yacht style to indeed make her timeless in beauty. I can see myself owning this yacht.

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

"The cats meow"...I HAVE to use that in a future video!

[@MrPireotis]

Didn't see this coming...! Probably one of the best examples of how you can preserve a piece of art and engineering after all these years. A special yacht for a special owner. And one of the best presentations you have put together also! This channel is aging like good wine David. Thanks!

[@calvinh.8882]

Awesome Feadship. It's amazing to see a 37-year-old yacht in absolutely beautiful condition. Personally, I would rather have this than a new yacht. And once again, the video was very well done, props to you and your amazing videographer/s. I wish all of you a Very Happy And Prosperous New Year. Cheers!!

[@cbrusharmy]

There are some good books in that master stateroom. What a gem, Explora is.

[@rudideghelt]

A superb and splendid yacht. David, the team and all the followers, I send you my best wishes for 2023 and many videos.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏

[@davidlagares9621]

Hi David! I don't know how I missed this vlog. This is one of the most beautiful 1985 Feadships I have ever seen. The way this yacht has been kept and refitted is amazingly beautiful. You have done one of the best presentations I have seen you do. Any you know I have followed you for a long time. Thank you for this impressive and delightful tour of this magnificent beauty!👏 🥂

[@reynaldo_santos]

I love the console captains Room... Lovely sir and the interior is magnificent..

[@barryjones5995]

i like something in every boat i have seen but this one is definitely a standout for me. i could live on this boat indefinitely. beautifully refitted to a real quality standard but not overly luxurious. looks to be the type of yacht that makes people feel comfortable and welcoming. just right for my liking. i like this channel and the boats it presents. you can tell the guy enjoys what hes doing. good for everyone involved.

[@thomasw5430]

Wow, considering how old she is amazing. I love the interior design. I was impressed. Kudos to the crew and owner(s), for keeping it in such wonderful shape! Happy New Year to you and all the wonderful crew that work behind the scenes to make all these videos.

[@robinfarman]

Beautiful, a testament to good, sensible design. A crew who love what they do and care and an owner who is willing to keep the yacht in an excellent condition. Happy New Year to you David and all the team. Keep up the great work and making us jealous.

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Thanks Robin, the crew were amazing. So helpful throughout the filming!

[@duncanjames914]

Stunning in every way. I love the combination of dark and light interiors.

[@jeffstone2585]

Beautiful ship! That is some of the nicest crew space I have seen.

[@truthshout]

Stunning. Very tasteful, classic and meticulously maintained. The glass-like finish of the wood is incredible. A true work of art.

[@jeffreydaniels7519]

Absolutely stunning! As beautiful a yacht as I’ve ever seen and impeccably maintained. Breathtaking.

[@mattcartwright8272]

That bow profile is so evocative of the Cunard line. What a beauty!

[@TrogART]

What a lovely craft, a very tasteful interior utilising a simple colour pallet with impeccable taste and execution. I so prefer this style of yacht.

[@michaelhastie7324]

Everything on this ship is well thought out. The galley is Michelin Star capable. The woodwork throughout is understated yet ornate And classic all at once. The engine room was immaculate. The Explora IS immaculate/new for all intents and purposes with the exception of the modern costs of manufacturing such a yacht in 2023. Very Nice, Indeed.

[@dsmith8104]

A stunning yacht for her age. A real credit to all her owners and crew over the years. Timeless and stunning something newer yacht haven't got they haven't got style to last.

[@Time2Live.online]

I counted at least 5 times during this walkthrough that you referenced Children. I can't think of anything else that would ruin my time on board a beautiful yacht (except maybe a hurricane) more than having young children on board. I have raised my share of children and have many grandchildren. And they will be welcome on my yacht once they become adults. Especially on a classic beauty like this 40-year-old Feadship. With white everywhere, that wonderful woodwork. I will be posting a plaque where guests will enter the yacht stating; No Children, Pets, or Fishing allowed on this boat.

[@eddieellison7679]

Amazing video. I like how you put the image and marker of each location. Great job and beautiful boat.

[@VictoriaAlfredSmythe]

amazing craft

[@JyttesTrailCamera]

Happy New Year, David 😊 LOVE the GA overlay on the video, so helpful. Better than average crew areas, and especially the outside hangout for the crew in the bow was a proper feature. Interesting to have the chief situated behind the bridge as well. It's always a pleasure to watch a Feadship, and this is a charmer, very timeless interior 😊

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Thanks so much, and a Very Happy New Year to you too 😁

[@boli4203]

This is how a yacht tour should be presented. The floorplan/layout overlays add a lot to the tour.

[@reneestaniel3520]

Fantastic! Owners must be giants to mount those beds.

[@kevindowd7769]

Thank You David… Just like You, Explora keeps getting better! Well done!

[@fisherh9111]

What a graceful yacht. Such beautiful lines.

[@leonmalgas3050]

the best ive seen thus far. by far !. wonderful

[@esdeekay4344]

The light and airy interior has a hint of Colonial influences. Such a beautiful classic Lady...

[@davidlagares9621]

David, Happy New Year to you! This Feadship is a beauty with such great pedigree and amazingly well maintained by her owners and it's crew. This explorer offers terrific value to her future owner. Thanks, for bringing us another great vessel on your fabulous vlog. Kudos to you and your team. The cinematography is awesome! 👏🙏🏼👍🏼

[@stephenrojas6533]

Take care of the crew, and they will take care of you!

[@panpiper]

100%

[@harbourdogNL]

Quite possibly the finest vessel you've showcased recently. Clearly the owner, skipper and crew are on their game. Impeccable...a yacht that actually looks like a ship, as opposed to one of those tacky, gaudy Vegas-looking brothel boats favoured by oligarchs.

[@Aran2323]

"But we're not even in the galley yet" Phew! Had me worried for a second haha

[@kevinlytle6215]

Wonderful vessel. Very good choices over the years. That range is impressive.

[@CinemaDemocratica]

Well it only took twenty-seven minutes and thirty seconds but it was nice to stay long enough to see our host *actually* sip from that glass of water.

[@darthkek1953]

Looking through the listing whilst it might be originally a 1985 vessel, there was seemingly a near 100% refit in 2002. Yes, some updates and fits since then (2008 gyro, 2012 galley, 2017 spa, etc.) but it seems much of what we see is 2002. That's why it doesn't seem quite as "old" as 1985. I would love to see some 80s/90s photos of this ship!!

[@remi000simon]

Oh that make. Sense. As it looks so new

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Well spotted - the '02 refit was a big one, and she's been maintained incredibly well.

[@woofolliesmydog8628]

The master suite and bathroom are my favourite I've ever seen on any ship. The master bed is the bed of my dreams. That mattress....amazing.

[@edbrumbaugh9202]

Beautiful yacht! Love the design, much nicer than many of the newer yachts you've shown ... and you've shown some nice ones! Great tour, thanks.

[@kokomo9764]

Beautiful interior! I know that many people shy away from gloss finishes, but the gloss Mahogany in the Master was stunning! The white Hampton style was beautiful in other areas. The thing that I loved, especially as an American, was the bed height! Finally, someone who knows about proper height. I dislike low-slung beds and furniture in most yachts. At my home, I must have a step to get into my California King bed. A few things I didn't like: the exposed ribs, to me, are unattractive and show the age of the yacht; I would like to see the stern reworked in a refit to give access to the water, perhaps even a beach club. I do understand that it would have to be done carefully so as not to destroy the classic appearance, just a thought. I think it may need a technology update with tablet controls etc in each cabin. Overall a stunning yacht that you presented very well David!

[@DominiqueV6697]

Très beau yacht, bien qu'il y ait eu certainement une rénovation avant la vente. 👍👌

[@alcylon]

Absolutely amazeing. thanks for the tour. I will buy it in my next life😀😀😀😀

[@taylorman9514]

My guy knew what he was doing, building anticipation at the start of the video with that cup of water. Well played sir!

[@sloth6765]

Teasing us with the glass of water.. I was in similar suspense to as the end of a James Bond movie and you finally drank some water!

[@grondhero]

I do enjoy the looks of the 20th century Feadships. The crew areas looked very spacious, too! It's probably a good thing I'm not a billionaire, because I'd have a fleet of yachts instead of a car collection. 😉

[@richardstuivenberg4618]

Stunning Ship. I love that oldschool high polish wood and white color scheme. She has a soul thats not found in modern ships

[@ZoliAkiApa]

Elegantly built punchline with the water. You. Are. Good! David :)

[@kingmatthewa]

Greetings from Kansas City, USA, David! Amazing vessel and the one thing that impressed me the most was how the interior design seemed to invert the color scheme for the owners’ suite. The other living spaces seem to have white cabinets and darker accented floors. When you toured the owners’ cabin, the cabinetry went dark with lighter flooring and accents. Simply beautiful design.

[@danielterry382]

I love Feadship. The level of wood work on the Yacht is A#1.

[@debbiejudd4933]

Wow. There are l no words for this one. So much luxury in every inch. Even the crew quarters. I wish I could spend a week on her. What a joy that would be. Thank you.

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed it!

[@paulinboston]

This might be my favorite yacht. It goes neck and neck with the gentlemen's yacht you showed out of Turkey. Good job, I would be surprised if this yacht was on the market that long a period of time. You know how you can tell they took space series. They don't have twenty bars all over the place.

[@ambushpredator7629]

I love the older well maintained steal Yachts. I did not always love the hull designs at first which is always the case for me but once you showed the interior beauty it brought out the exterior beauty as I knew it would 🤗.

[@kjf63]

One of the nicest, yachtiest yachts, you’ve ever featured. Beautiful. Where’s my cheque book 😉

[@earllutz2663]

Thank you for the tour.

[@Letsgobrandon790]

[@boomtao]

Thank you for adding the illustrations to show where exactly on the yacht you are.

[@AMK190768]

A very pleasant, professional and great presentation of a truly beautiful Feadship! Had the opportunity visiting the yards and gain deep insights.... incredible craftmanship especially when you speak to a 40 y/o who's been with the company for 25 years - that's how best quality is built!

[@lgriestra]

What a beauty! And great video David. Congratulations.

Thanks! And yes...she really is!

This is by far the most beautiful yacht I’ve ever seen! Please do show more yachts of this stature in the future! Unbelievably beautiful.

[@colin.chaffers]

A wonderful masterpiece of ship building, age is clearly only a number in this case, beautiful in every detail.

[@henrycarlson7514]

Thank You , A fine example of solid construction . and relativeley timeless design

[@fw1421]

This has to be the most beautiful yacht EVER!🙀🙀🙀❤️❤️❤️. All it takes is cubic dollars. To own,operate,and maintain a ship like this costs a huge amount of money. Only Billionaires need apply!

[@frederikn.kalangi5619]

What a beautiful yacht.. It really look like it just came out from the shipyard, amazing... Another proof what you will get in the long run if proper and scheduled maintenance are conducted and having an awesome crew. I must say the location of the engine room is quite unique. I believev there is a technical reason why it's located there... Watching vidoe footage of Explora at sea, is like watching the late Sean Connery in the movie Entrapment.... if that makes any sense at all... hahaha.. Awesome walkthrough .. and Happy New Year 2023.. more blessing to you and your family. (btw sorry for the world cup prediction)

[@michaelgillespie502]

one of my all time favorite yachts,such unostentatious thoughtful design...one question though, why do alot of boats have such hi gloss almost artificial looking wood finishes?

[@lordrossmacca]

I think I'm in love with Explora. Absolutely stunning. Fabulous tour David thank you.

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

I'm glad I was able to transmit that in the video; she is in fact easy to fall in love with!

[@clifbradley]

Very nice. Gorgeous yacht. 13.8 million with VAT paid is a great price. I would think it goes for 12.6 or around there. But might go to 13.5. I mean it's a Feadship so that's quality right there and worth whatever the asking price is.

[@yumpinyiminy963]

Back in the early to mid 80's, Feadship was known as the Rolls Royce of yachts. I wood say Cadillac but they were, well let us say not so good anymore. I've seen a few older Feadships that are in like new condition. Tastefully modernized yet keeping the character of the yacht. Very nice!

[@stephenwelch339]

Beautiful stately lady of the seas,nice tour David . regards Steve 😃.

[@Shrek765]

[@goodguygto]

WOW!, she was built, made (Born) in 85!, that is amazing! Back in 85 the DeLorean (Back to the Future) can barely hit 88 mph. In fact I don't know any person with a pontoon boat, that can't last that long! But I'm pretty sure a rowboat can last that long?, (if you keep it out of the water)!!🤔

[@rvail136]

[@jpmargedant2995]

Beautiful. Just beautiful!

[@jacobyrassilon]

I have to admit, I am not a huge fan of older ship designs, especially the exteriors, but with that being said, I would 100% buy this magnificent ship for $15 million. And I would try my best to keep the exact same crew onboard because it is evident that they take care of this boat like it was their own home (and in most cases, it is, I suppose). I was blown away by the interior of this yacht....it is a beautiful design, and while the hull and super structure are not as "sleek" and sporty as a modern yacht, the interior living spaces make this a floating mansion and definitely worth the asking price.

[@leonardorossipolledri224]
