Geeze this one passed me by and wow am i glad i finally found it and had a chance to bring this boat to you!
Whitehaven is an Australian company doing all their designs here and production in Taiwan. This particular model is a 2019 build and from what i saw this boat has been built exceptionally well and she's been built to last.
But man is it cool! With a big single shaft diesel she slices through the chop with ease and when you're on the pick you really do get to enjoy everything this elegant and stable platform has to offer.
Please enjoy & SUBSCRIBE to get notifications for the test drive video which I'll upload when I've finished it.
FYI - My microphone was giving me trouble on the day so the sound is from the camera and isn't as good as i'd hoped. We filmed this twice after discovering the sound issues so i've done my best at using what we have. I think the salt air is getting into some of my equipment so please excuse me while i learn how to improve my production quality!

I learn new names for things watching these videos. :) In the United States, we call it woodwork. Timber is a tree that has been cut down, or heavy wood beams. Now I know Australians call woodwork timber.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

I’m no expert on woodworking so don’t assume I’m representing all Aussies haha

[@travismccurry8808]

Great video Dan! you were great to deal with and myself and a lot of clients are loving the in-depth and raw video walkthrough. Keep it up mate!

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Anytime Trav! Hopefully this gives people a real experience of what this boat is about. I look forward to editing the test drive with all that awesome drone footage we got!!

[@eyesofisabelofficial]

Great walkthrough, really gave me an insight into this obscure brand.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Thankyou! Yes i was surprised and also impressed

[@andyt48]

Great walkthrough, what a wonderful boat!

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Thanks! Yes I think this Harbour Classic has the ability to succeed more into the future. It's a cool design.

[@wadepidduck8457]

I’ve been on short roof version which is IPS. I could stay on these boat all day long they have an incredible feel and I’m on 2-3 vessels a day. You have to see the other one as the colour scheme is impeccable and an amazing feel. The boats are second to none in there quality styling and finishes

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

G'day Wade, i heard all about the other version and yes i agree! This hull seems to sit pretty at rest and while under way so overall an awesome weekend platform and definately a boat you'd be happy to own!

[@cad5238]

Well done Dan. Great survey. Well presented I'm sold also. A pretty lady for sure! Where's the barbie? Great presentation.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Thanks! Yes this brand slipped by me initially but since spending time onboard i think Whitehaven have some great product and lots of good ideas coming down the pipeline. Barbie location would be up to the owner as you can do a few different layouts. From memory this boat has a removable one but i could be wrong on that so best to check with the dealers. These guys do a lot of customozation so if you wanted somewhere specific i'd say the answer is most likey going to be a yes.

[@scottprice8994]

How would you change the sheets on the bed by the stairs? That seems like it would be difficult.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

That’s an issue on so many boats. If someone can design a sensible solution to this they can get rich!

[@matthewmartin1970]

Are we going to get a full test drive video of this boat please

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Yes i've filmed it just haven't edited it yet.

[@fawkesp]

Dan, great video. Where was it filmed?

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Thankyou! In Sydney, i'm filming most of my videos here at home in Sydney. You'll see some more locations coming in 2022.

[@scottdynek4301]

What is the performance? Range,top speed can cruising speed?

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

You can check all that out on the test drive video which you'll be able to find in the video list page on KZbin.

[@jamessudek2125]

Walk thrust are about walk thrus... geese. Lmao

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Thanks ok James, i'm not trying to please everyone. Thanks for watching

[@matthewmartin1970]

Absolutely gorgeous boat. Never heard of the brand before either but they look like one to watch. I love your reviews Dan, the detail that you go in to is top notch and I hope you are generating some income from the ads but they do intrude quite a lot particularly when you have the same ads repeated several times in the same video and more so when it's that daft gammon faced ukip politician Nigel Farage.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Thanks Matt and thanks also for the feedback from the ads. I only just switched that ad feature on the other day so not sure how it all works yet. I've now discovered i can switch off the non-skippable ads after reading your comment and looking into it so have switched them off now as i also wouldn't want to be fed too much bullshit when i just wana look at boats! I fund this channel with my main business The Boat Brokerage so not really focused on ad revenue and happy to keep the content informative and entertaining. Thanks for watching

[@matthewmartin1970]

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife hi Dan honestly I’ve got no problem with you having some ads on here as I think it’s a price worth paying for the content but it was unfortunate they were so repetitive and the frequency was a bit too much. Some of the most successful channels have ads at the start and the end but none during the actual boat tours. Thanks for your reply and please keep up the great work. In my opinion you are one of the very best at this and there’s a way to earn revenue without it becoming a pain in the arse for the viewers.

[@marvindebot3264]

5 volt mate, USB power outlets are 5 volt not 12. She's held up well for a 3 year old boat. It's always nice to spin up the stabiliser when doing a review especially when it's a gyro, I like to hear just how noisy they are as I've seen some badly isolated horrors that you just won't sleep thru. Where was filmed mate? i thought it was Balmoral at first but it's not.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Wow really? So is my Iphone actually charging with 5 volt and not 12..? I never knew that. Yes I was also impressed with the condition of this boat after 3 years. This is a brand that impresses me the more I look below the surface. Yes I have been forgetting to switch on the gyro's on some of my shoots and when I remember it's too late as they need time to spool up. Will try remember more often. Was filmed on Sydney Harbour so yes we passed Balmoral and buzzed around between North and South Head to see how she was in the waves.

[@marvindebot3264]

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife We had a Halverson Viking 40 (Maljovic, she's still around but has a new name) moored at Balmoral for a few years in the 90s, lovely old girl. I'm just glad I'm not feeding twin 8V Detroits at today's diesel prices! Yes, phones charge at 5 volts, anything USB is 5 volts.

[@wowbird1234567]

Only one engine

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Yes. Duchy 35 has 2

[@frankiegregoriou4604]

For the length of your video other reviewers review super yacht, i think you talk to much

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

I'll talk really fast next time to shorten it just for you Frankie :) lol

[@travismccurry8808]

Hi Frankie, I am a yacht broker and I have had an endless amount of clients telling me that all the youtube videos on boats are too polished and not in-depth/raw enough. I don't know about you but if I was doing my research on a product and about to spend that kind of money I would prefer a raw and real video like this. That way I don't have to arrange an inspection if I'm not totally keen. Just thought I would let you know what a lot of other clients are requesting. :)

[@wadepidduck5557]

The talking is gold- rather someone be honest and say what he thinks than sugarcoat it. I say keep talking.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

@@wadepidduck5557 Hi Wade, cheers for that! That Jeremy guy is a fake profile being used by a boat dealer in Sydney who's trying to push his own product so i don't take any of his comments seriously. I'll keep turning on the camera and whatever comes out of my mouth you guys will see. Mistakes and all haha

[@frankiegregoriou4604]

@@travismccurry8808 i am not a broker i expressed my opinion , i am just a fan of boats, i follow a lot of reviewers, maybe i am wrong but i don't believe someone will buy a boat from a video, if someone is really interested to buy a boat he will contact the broker and go through the details, finally i would like to tell you that i enjoy your videos

[@WanderingWAJ]

nice boat, but don't like the layout
