Every yacht design requires some compromise to arrive at a final product. I love that this beautiful yacht exists, as I believe it fits well in the marketplace for those whose priorities in design align with this boat. And while $700k euros is a lot, I think it's fair value for this vessel. Thanks for the tour!

Why does everyone say that with such an arrangement of the helms everything is perfectly visible? Through the saloon I can see is a ferry or something bigger. And then, if no one is cooking inside, there are no bags on the tables. Thanks Toby for the review! ))

[@pioneer_1148]

also you loose a tonne of space on the back of the boat

[@Muratshayev]

@@pioneer_1148 Yes, where people usually sit with a fishing rod, the steering wheel is located))

[@princeangel3580]

Ther is boat for fishing, other for fly bridge et top saloon, and other to sail. As any boat you are nor sitting behind the wheel, you check move and look from,a hull to the other, having a radar help too, its a choice, other option is the windelo, with helm in front.

[@emilybh6255]

It looks like there is TERRIBLE visibility from the helm. Nothing like making the skipper peer through double sets of cabin windows to try to see what is going on off the opposite side of the boat. It is a great alternative and probably a more expensive alternative to a houseboat.

[@roderikvanl]

great review. don't like the boat, main sail traveler doesn't make sense, super small indoor seating, cramped salon outside.... A L42 has more space and costs $100k less....

[@dukekelloway5328]

Yeah. Not sure why we'd dare call that a good view from the helm. Actually seems obscenely terrible. Not sure if there's many multis that offer a reasonable helm position.

[@pauljamieson803]

I would expect that the other Nautiteck beside it is the same yr? Yes? If so why does one have recessed hatches and the other does not? also, that helm station is great if you stay in the Caribbean, but traveling in bad weather on a weeks-long trans-pacific crossing in foul weather is not fun even if you are wearing proper weather gear! Besides that, this looks like a great boat, and Yes I have other ideas to make this a better boat .. lol

[@jeromehebert3184]

I think i would make that cabin a utility room. but that is just me; nice layout though

[@VirtanenDK]

Would love to cruise around Bahamas 🇧🇸 in this. The aft area and cabin, didn't look like 2 different places, but one great "room" 👍🏼 Thx for the tour Toby....

cheap wooden interior

[@thomaselliott573]

Not a lot of boat for the price, but that is the trend these days and the speed would be fun. That island in the saloon serves virtually no purpose except as a magazine rack for boat shows, it does not even have fiddle rails. These reviews seem to be centring on interior design now - a bit like a review of a fashionable house. Given that this has almost nothing to offer in that regard, it might have been interesting to know if it sails, but I guess this is a boat show piece.

[@yachtingworld]

Indeed it is

[@masteringzero]

I think it is a good update, the interior is really good-looking and I have to salute the designers. I hope they have an induction and electric stove as an option to opt-out of a GAS system. I wished they moved the traveler to the roof and made the roof extend to the helm area. I want more weather and sun protection. I know we mostly sail on autopilot, but for long-term cruisers a safe helm is a priority. I feel this continues to be the weakspot of the open series by Nautitech (Bavaria)

[@stackasaurus]

Thank you very much for your awesome walkthrough! Neil Günter you rocks buddy!❤🤝👍

[@silvastories]

Don’t like the helm out in the open like that, it should have a cover of some sort to cover electronics. Just me.

[@lunes-1]

Great video, keep it up!@

[@yachtingworld]

Thanks Cristina!

[@marcmoullard3813]

Pity that you were not able to sail it…..maybe in an other day. Nice test anyway. Thanks for your work.

[@yachtingworld]

I hope to soon Marc - this was just my first chance to see it at a show. But we will feature a sail trial report in our July 22 issue

[@jaysparc]

A double bed in a 540,000E boat? I guess this is only for midget and skinny couples.

[@AVE_LUCIFERUS_666]

so it's bout 600k $ usd?

[@kodiak7]

Or a big dude by himself.

[@bradmoulden1657]

540 was the base model the review boat was 200k more
