Glitz free - that is what I like most - pure and simple - in total - a dream boat

[@xkr510]

Totally inspires confidence in its seafaring ability. Now with the right captain I don’t think I’d live on land again. Beautiful and capable. Wow

[@user-wt7ec1pb7u]

You took the words right out of my mouth ... Yes she sure is a beautifully done vessel & worthy of admiration.

[@wayneheigl5549]

i am 72 years old and i just fell in love with Scintilla Maris . she is just beautiful in every way . every detail is perfect and the amount of work and effort that went in to fitting her out must have been monumental. she is just awesome in every way . she is truly the best that money can buy. i guess i can dream.

[@YachtBuoy]

Couldn't agree more!

[@MBdrummer3288]

Ok, THIS is absolutely AMAZING. This is the most incredible yacht I have ever seen in my life . Just mind blowing! It’s a tad odd looking from the outside but that interior, wheelhouse and engine room just blew me away. Thanks for the tour of lovely yacht!

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for watching 🫡

[@amythistxue1]

yeah I'm really curious who looked at an old trawler and thought "I'm gonna turn that into a mobile luxury condo" I also loved the nice touch of the model of the ship from when it was still a fishing trawler

[@chrisbmorningstar]

Words can't say how awesome this is, what a boat

[@adampoll4977]

So much more impressive and rewarding than billionaire party yachts (floating obscenities). A vessel like this can be repurposed over and over and serve many roles and have a long service life.

[@sheepdog1102]

I didn’t think that this boat would ever look like this after watching the first video but was I wrong! This is beautiful and well thought out. The craftsmanship is amazing 😊

[@YachtBuoy]

Glad you like it!

[@christopherhogg3227]

A range of 9000nm. That's insane! With that much space, why isn't there a sail? I could envision one.

[@marydougans8211]

I really appreciate that you include deck plans in your videos. I can pause the video, zoom, in and look at the amazing naval architecture involved. I wish more yacht channels did this. Thanks for another fantastic viideo.

[@RetirementFund750]

The skylights are a cool thought but someone could be walking on deck and see straight into the cabins.. and when the crew has to sleep during the day they’ll need to cover them or something. They should’ve done some built in shades for them or at least made them a frosted glass.

[@timtierney7325]

As a retired beam trawler skipper of boats that size and bigger I can assure you that in bad weather the crew will get no rest and cooking will become impossible if not dangerous in fwd accommodation

[@MrRich2u]

Ok, that wheelhouse is next level awesome.

[@thestandardbearer6633]

Yeah, I really have no words and I have been in control and command centers of offshore production and drilling platforms. What an awesome vessel. Congrats to the owner.

[@rbslammed6163]

Next level absurdity Can’t even see what’s in front of the boat

[@seantwomey396]

Good looking vessel. I particularly like the glass skylights though I rely on Damen to ensure that they are safe and leak proof. I am sorry that the crew quarters remain doubles even though permitted by IMO. I would have hoped that they could have found space for 4 extra singles. As a former crew member singles are definitely preferable. The bridge is remarkable. The automation is excellent. I was shocked by the range difference under Tier 3. I don’t understand why such a difference. My itinerary would sail from Europe to Newfoundland to the Caribbean to Panama to Galapagos to Peru to Easter island to Tahiti to Vanuatu to Papua New Guinea to Phuket to Sri Lanka to Goa to Mombasa to Djibouti to Suez to Santorini to Malta to Ibiza to Puerto Banus to Gibraltar to Azores to New York.

[@YachtBuoy]

Having seen Damen’s impeccable craftsmanship I would bet my KZbin channel on the watertight integrity of those skylights in all conditions 🫡

[@sheepdog1102]

That would be a great trip!

[@PJPerron_me]

That model is so cool

[@Secretlyanothername]

I love how capable this ship remains. You could take this into almost any sea state and hold there safely.

[@angeleechae]

I don't know why, but i like this kind of boat design rather than sleek clean line luxurious boat. This kind of boat look so much fun to sail with.

[@YachtBuoy]

Absolutely!

[@edseljonesbabao3678]

THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL A SUPER YATCH.... VERY VERY NICE, I AM A FAN OF STEEL,AND THATS WHAT I LOVE. TRULY A SUPER YATCH

[@MrCrabbing]

Well I saw her today and what a mighty impressive looking ship she is

[@cilldublin07]

Great to see old boats been repurposed rather then being scrapped

[@larsmeijerink5471]

They do this a lot now with all those crawlers available. They are 2 more being built in Amsterdam and 1 in Harlingen.

[@caseylimbert266]

I have been waiting and waiting for this one, and I have to say thank you for following through and posting a video of the finished product as promised. There's a lot of KZbinrs that will post vids at the beginning of a build and leave us all hanging.... much appreciated. This boat is definitely something special and it's most definitely a maze on the inside, but it also is a machine that will take it's lucky owners and guests to the end of the earth and back again in safety and comfort. It's also way out of my price range! Thanks again, and keep the vids coming and I'll keep watching!

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment 🙌

[@radsk8rbigollies594]

This is what you take when you are serious about seeing the world. I could see being on this when it is snowing outside and feel safe as a house.

[@CPcamaro]

Would be interesting to know the cost of acquisition + refit vs. what it would have cost to new-build a ship of similar capabilities and capacity.

[@norarivkis2513]

She's beautiful. Looks like she'd take a LOT of crew to manage, but if you can afford to keep nine or ten people on full time staff just to keep your boat running, she'd be a load of fun. Only thing I can think of that I would change if she were my boat (and presuming that I could afford her) would be to knock out that master stall shower and put in a good deep bathtub instead. With the amount of fresh water that watermaker can produce, it would be plausible to use properly; and it's my personal ultimate luxury/comfort item. I like the lack of opulence in the rooms. I've always felt that I would be a little uncomfortable with lavish luxury... I prefer physical comforts and quiet unobtrusiveness, and that's what I see in the design on this boat. I can certainly imagine people who would look at it in consternation for that, and wonder where all the bells and whistles are; but I would enjoy it just the way it is. Well, except for that bathtub. 🛁

[@ExUSSailor]

That is absolutely GORGEOUS!

[@YachtBuoy]

💯%

[@nickwatkins5321]

What a wheelhouse!

[@michaelhastie7324]

The Interior Design, however, is simply Amazing.

[@timothyhannon605]

I remember growing up in Newport Beach and seeing Norwegian trawlers converted into yachts.

[@cheddar2648]

What a great conversion. Well worth the wait I would imagine.

[@CenturyHomeProject]

This video came across my feed. I’m so glad it did. Your yacht is breathtakingly beautiful. It has that futuristic vintage look. Beautiful lines. You are taking a ship That was already a beauty and making her glamorous.

[@TimmyMoza]

Wheelhouse is nothing better. Amazing engine room. This build left nothing to consider missing… wow

[@bradnutter41]

Absolutely stunning! And unbelievable, definitely prefer rebuild to new ( Authenticity )and this rebuild is definitely as good as it gets, the skylights are amazing especially the big one under the circular table top. Could go on forever but thank you for sharing this one. WoW!

[@YachtBuoy]

Glad you like it!

[@MrCybernick]

Wow...... love it..... the best yacht for me..

[@martinjohnson1659]

Astonishing, speechless, congrats to the owner on a refit that is above and beyond. Magnificent.

[@YachtBuoy]

🫡🙌

[@user-lg7vx6xp1o]

Great look and ship easy access for the pirates.

[@limbandtreeremoval]

Beautiful, absolutely gorgeous...and a work of Art!

[@nojnoj3069]

Absolutely excellent video as usual. Now. I have never seen anything like this before. Incredibly beautiful and with the bridge straight out of Star Trek, this is beyond next level. Thank you very much for another super informative video.

[@sheldonkoehler]

It just needs an LCARS style GUI to be perfect!

[@robvallen1905]

A comment on the range difference between standard tune and Tier 3. Tier 3 emmissions are met by applying SCR technology. This requires adding a reductant to the exhaust flow. This reductant is commonly known in Europe as AdBlue and in the US as DEF. The range of the vessel is limited by the amount of AdBlue it can take. The engine does not run less fuel efficient in Tier 3 mode.

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for clarifying 🫡

[@bobbuilder5362]

So you can simply stock more Adblue and still have the theoretical range of 9000Nm ?

[@robdog1245]

Its always neat to see these old girls get a makeover and a new life. I particularly like the oceangoing tug conversions, they're built to withstand anything, but we forget how tough, heavy, sturdy and beamy trawlers are as well. What I'm surprised at is the lack of luxury in the guest cabins. They're very bland, and the boat has an air of being built for work, which, while its first life was only work, with all the money I'm sure went into the refit, I'd think they could've spent a little more for some color in the rooms, the all white and gray makes it feel like a prison cell.

[@cheeseblog]

And another great video from you. One of my top tier channels. Exactly the type of presentation I enjoy. Thanks!

[@YachtBuoy]

Wow, thanks! I appreciate it

[@andrewcapone3345]

Impeccable vessel.

[@terryhughes7349]

impressive ship. Nice refit.

[@kowkunt8710]

Ah, yes the Magnificent ! I remember Her.

[@bookertee3057]

Well thought out, planned and engineered conversion. Again, another world-class yacht by the Dutch. Anytime, anywhere journey. Let's head to Patagonia and Antarctica. Then, to Hobart, Tasmania.

[@ryveralexander8511]

Yacht Buoy, you're the King of Trawlers !👌☮️💟

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks! I appreciate it 🍻

[@jerameyjames]

Youve just become my favorite KZbin binge. These vessels are just dreams, and are inspiring thoughts for the future. Loving the commentary and your passion for them. One of these days...perhaps we'll connect

[@panioloprep8126]

After having spent 4 years at sea with the US Navy - noting that this trawler has only a 9 meter beam - I would like to see her in some open ocean footage. And I would like to hear from some of her crew that have tended to customers on board. I truly loved my time on the ocean.

[@Dabebo-xk2bt]

This is what I am absolutely 💯 love to have!

[@anthonyshriner4362]

She's a beautiful vessel

[@johngauntlett4915]

John, very impressive refit. Unbelievable bridge setup. The only bridge I've been on that was more impressive was on NCL cruise ship M/V Seaward back in 1989 while working on board as a subcontractor. I was on the bridge 3 times while working on the teak decks.

[@robertmuckle2985]

I'm literally awestruck!!!

[@YachtBuoy]

🙌

[@joveeke]

Just amazing from up till down !!! WOW

[@spacewalktraveller1]

That is one amazing looking boat, great job. I really love that wheelhouse.

[@YachtBuoy]

Glad you like it!

[@clifbradley]

That is freaking AMAZING!!! GREAT VIDEO JOHN!!!!! YOU ARE ONE LUCKY MAN BEING THERE ON THAT!!!

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks, Clif 🫡

[@jamesmyatt354]

Another wonderful tour of a fantastic yacht!

[@YachtBuoy]

Many thanks!

[@mogs23]

Woo that bridge set up is awesome

[@charlienevergold3654]

Great job on the video! That is one impressive ship! The wheelhouse is incredible!

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks a lot!

[@eieio1943]

That master is incredable use of space and light. Great video by the way.

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks!

[@johnsalvi9073]

It was good you have filmed this video on a sunny day. I can’t imagine being onboard with choppy seas or in a gale storm, but that’s what this ship is purposed for.

[@leeketner6488]

Really love that range / distance.

[@jonnorousseau3096]

Beautiful ship, I'm no naval architect but those cut away/recessed bulwarks with boarding access port and stbd. don't make a lot of sense to me, very little freeboard and in any kind of sea state I'd imagine a hindrance to the vessel, just looks wrong. Like I said I'm no expert but if something doesn't look right it normally isn't, very odd to me to compromise the freeboard and hydrodynamics of the hull with a gimmick of convenience on what is otherwise apparently a very sea capable vessel, in a big, confused seastate with breaking swells I'd prefer as much freeboard as possible. PS I haven't seen the previous video on the modifications and refit, maybe I should?? Bridge is exceptionally well equipped, but that counts for nothing IMO with those oddities just above the waterline

[@-mike--m-9629]

I agree about the hull modification. What struck me instantly was to think of how inviting it would be a few armed Somalians types for a spot of tea and financial discussion.

[@jantjedelooff8653]

Those recesses bring the gross tonnage under 500 GT so saves a lot of rules to apply to and they make great access for ribs if you noticed the way the bullwarks are constructed these recesses don't compromise the seaworthiness

[@hugolafhugolaf]

It’s still quite utilitarian.

[@johnhickman2915]

Very high tech vessel. Great tour, THANKS

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment 🙌

[@doninone8531]

One of the best wheel house I've seen

[@YachtBuoy]

🙌

[@kradius2169]

Epic boat, epic tour! Thank you. 33:09 ... Please, we don't need another Felicity Ace, Fremantle Highway, or Genius Star XI.

[@LobsterFishingAdventures]

i am a fisherman and i bet this would make an great seaboat !!!

[@TrogART]

What an interesting conversion, I actually think they have done a really good job on this craft.

[@tj7870]

i'll take two!

[@YachtBuoy]

😀

[@brianpeterson5559]

Love the engine room and the bridge wow so nice. Thanks

[@YachtBuoy]

Thank you too!

[@NSResponder]

Fascinating project.

[@jordanroot8379]

And this video is why I subscribed. Beautiful vessel.

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks! I appreciate it 🫡

[@OlsenTheWonderDog]

I enjoy the trawler conversions. Is anyone aware of a former Naval vessel (Corvette, Frigate, Destroyer - recognizing that the ship classification often depended upon size, tonnage, armament, and intended usage) converted into a yacht? I would enjoy seeing videos of such a finished conversion.

[@jwillar6173]

WOW - I’m in love!!!

[@YachtBuoy]

😍

[@stugurr09]

best one so far in my opinion great content keep it up

[@YachtBuoy]

Wow, thanks! I appreciate it

[@jugaloking69dope58]

your so close to 50 k subs! GL keep up the special ships like this

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks! Will do!

[@gbppittpetitt8684]

37 minutes well spent! Enjoyed the tour!

[@YachtBuoy]

Glad you enjoyed it 🫡🙌

[@jmsask]

Incredible vessel. Definitely need to be very rich to maintain this vessel 🍻

[@stk6mkt]

I'll take a wild guess, and say that the owner is a billionaire.

[@october420]

WOW... when I first saw the greasy mess this was & what the owners envisioned all those moons ago for this trawler, I saw the possibilities & couldnt wait to see the final product... i am blown away, the engineering alone is nothing short of a masterpiece... obviously we all would've gone a dif route on the cabins & dining area, but that galley is gorgeous & the decking is perfect, luv those cut outs that step down to water lvl, ingenious... but what truly is mind-blowing, is that bridge, epic in every sense, I have no doubt theyre star trek fans, only a fan could envision such a setup... cant wait to see what they add over time to increase its functions & desired wants... they say money cant but happiness, but it sure can buy you a boat... 😎

[@SorieMansaray-ir7li]

Money on mind ,, after work,i relaxed😊

[@williammccoy7127]

It can handle everything, I worked a sister ship in the offshore industry, and been in all kind of weather that mother nature,can throw at you,and never once I felt uncomfortable .

[@morgan97475]

I'm not a nautical enthusiast but I found this informative video quite captivating. Thanks!

[@YachtBuoy]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment 🙌

[@somethintoviewwithyou2876]

Amazing job 🛥️🛟

[@YachtBuoy]

🫡

[@adamrigby7409]

Wow dream vessel I love the boarding area at the midship talk about covenant for tender launches and swimming and scuba diving and she looks like she could take some ruff seas with her fishing background and high bow

[@walley2637]

i love it! that is my dream boat. and i think that line from the movie Jaws where he says: we're going to need a bigger boat! .. this is what they should have had!

[@scottgordon1781]

Clearly no expense spared in the re fit !

[@limosalimosa]

This is the only trawler of its kind! Hope it stays that way LOL

[@jeffstever7754]

that is one amazing ship

[@patricknes7216]

gally looks like a home kitchen no profesional ovens or induction or fast dich washer

[@Bajatrvlr]

Ok, I have to say that although I’m impressed with the design and build, it would have to be a particular person to buy a vessel like this ; it’s not for everyone. Like its original design, it’s utilitarian, I wouldn’t say it’s beautiful. I’m glad I stumbled across your KZbin channel as I’m interested in all things nautical. Keep on keepin on.

[@aluminium3574]

Some people have their ships built to impress other people. Only using the ship to party… And some want a real ship! That can get you a real nautical experience!

[@Wygnus666]

Walked around Stellendamm and saw this, while building

[@kentpowell5427]

great video and yacht - thanks

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks! I appreciate it

[@GTRSLNGR1]

No one is talking about how that dude didn’t flush in the day head

[@markclifton14]

This Trawler is very impressive and the attention to detail is very impressive as well. But I would like to see the state of the decks and that open ended kitchen area at the Bow after a few heavy storms with huge waves crashing over the Bow area washing it in sea water. That’s why fishing Trawlers are built with no fancy wooden decking.

[@MrErnieNelson]

Hi mate. Love your boat tours and especially the graphic that shows where you are on the tour. Cheers. Ernie. Mount Martha Victoria Australia.

[@ajrusty]

❤❤❤LOVE THIS BOAT❤❤❤

[@jpmbih]

Awesome! I want one!

[@YachtBuoy]

You and me both!

[@edbrumbaugh9202]

Truely unique! As a retired Naval Officer, this is one of the nicest yachts I've seen ... such a great conversion, and that Pilot House, jaw dropping!!

[@YachtBuoy]

🫡⚓️

[@markowsley4954]

I'm impressed by the wheelhouse and the quality of the overall build seems impressive. I know this was designed by the owner with his tastes in mind but as an overall package I couldn't do it. For an explorer vessel who may be in remote areas for long periods of time the crew area needs to be better. They should each have their own sleeping space with no sharing. The interior of this vessel gives off a Naval ship vibe in the crew and guest spaces. I'm not interested in super high end luxury but I would expect to have at least a mid range accommodations for me and guests. It's great that the owner wanted to repurpose an existing hull but for my money I would start with a new build.

[@brad61776]

Very nice Lots of money been put into it if I had Saint client that I’ll probably have it out of the water worried about it sinking 👍👍👍

[@scottgordon1781]

Crew galley area is stunning !
