I could say so many things, but I'll just give this boat my highest plaudit: "I want one!" (smile) Thanks for the tour!

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for watching 🫡

[@music-man]

oh my! i have finally seen a boat that looks as beautiful as a fleming 65. This is absolutely stunning everything about it ticks all the boxes. Could be in a James bond movie.

[@MrSirlulzalot]

Good point on comparison to Fleming. ❤

[@leonardlassiterbey5161]

Gratitudes for your video!!! They keep me dreaming, and reaching for greater things!!!

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for the comment! I appreciate it!

[@acastle5852]

Really love the layout! Having the galley on the lower deck is so cozy, and I always love lighter colored wood. Thank you!

[@dermos9928]

Looks like a great layout for a cruising couple.

[@CrashLoveless]

Beautiful layout… she’s a keeper 😊

[@ML-ws6ce]

I love dutch yacht builders...........this boat is magnificent

[@robertwallace9215]

This is an exceptional boat, love the way it is actually laid out. The lower deck with the open mid deck is actually well done. I love the boat to be honest. Thank you for showing it…

[@YachtBuoy]

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching 🫡

[@MrErnieNelson]

Hi mate, Nice little boat, thanks for the tour. Cheers. Ernie.

[@YachtBuoy]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@wildcolonialman]

Fabulous line and length.

[@brad61776]

That bow is so amazing 👍👍👍👍

[@spacewalktraveller1]

Thanks John, that is one great looking boat. You did a great job in presenting her. I really wish the new owner all the best with her.

[@Joe_1sr9]

Love this all weather capable boat. I’d convert the two rear cabins to one bid master. Thanks for the tour.

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for watching 🫡

Lovely yacht! Great tour as always

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks! 🫡

[@jimsouvas]

This is why I subscribed ! You cover all the best boats. I've watched a small video of this amazing yacht and I love the design! It just gives you the vibe to jump on board and explore.

[@YachtBuoy]

Wow, thanks! 🫡

[@rcboatlife4907]

What a stunning vessel .. if i had the money definitely my cup of tea .. love your videos watch every one .. loved the ex beam trawler conversion

[@YachtBuoy]

Awesome, thank you!

[@unpluggedkiwi1063]

The KISS principle is strong in this vessel ........very nice indeed.

[@johnk1529]

Adding this to my "Best Boats" playlist which is basically all videos from your channel.

[@YachtBuoy]

Lol - love it! Thanks, John 🫡

[@bookertee3057]

Wunderbar! Intercostal and the loop. Perfket!

[@YachtBuoy]

🙌

[@ferccini]

BRILLIANT! great video mate

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks 🫡 I appreciate it

[@Coursolfamily]

Thank you for all your videos. We really enjoy your different perspective of ships and there design. We especially enjoy your conversion boats into modern yachts. It has made it harder in a good way to choose a yacht to buy when we go to Europe in a few months. Thank you again keep up the fantastic work.

[@MrMotorchild]

Wow, what a beauty.

[@TahoeMtnMan]

Love it. A dream for someone.

[@ErikGretland]

Love this one

[@ricardogoodman1750]

She's definitely a beauty well put together its the best I've seen that suits my taste so far definitely a 10💯Love it

[@YachtBuoy]

[@brianp.6237]

When I see you post on tiktok I immediately show up here for the walkthrough 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks! I appreciate it 🫡

[@long_view]

Thank you - another exemplary review, and a pleasure to hear proper nautical terms for everything (unlike some other boat review channels). I appreciate that the boat is brand new, but perhaps the addition of a navigator's seat at both helm stations, and fiddled worktops in the galley would enhance this impressive motoryacht.

[@YachtBuoy]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback 🫡

[@marspp]

It’s “Motor yacht”. “Motoryacht” is not a word (motorboat is). We will use proper nautical terms for everything here please.

[@long_view]

@@marspp That was a typo, I didn't press the space bar hard enough, and posted before checking. Nonetheless, thank you for drawing attention to this, if somewhat pedantically.

[@manuelhnieves]

boat is super interesting its like a white canvas of new ideas interesting choice of engines, also a 65 trawler with a single generator is a choice for sure

[@ownyourworld]

Awesome 👍🏻

[@charybdis8113]

What a beauty

[@YachtBuoy]

Absolutely!

[@erinschlameus3628]

nice little boat.

[@thisgarbageiscoralgable.88]

Beautiful ship....simple elegance. Does the swim platform have any accommodation for staple railings ?

[@cogitoergospud1]

Well done.

[@YachtBuoy]

[@jpmerrick8886]

Spectacular

[@sheepdog1102]

Nice boat and a great price!😊

[@YachtBuoy]

It sure is!

[@ironichumorist]

imo this would be a perfect vessel for the great loop. those spid poles would be very handy on the rivers and ICW..

[@chrisbmorningstar]

A good lottery win and this would be the one 👌

[@TrogART]

I do have a thing for the Dutch aesthetic, love there craft. Love the idea of the spud poles only ever came across them in one of your prior videos.

[@trondasdam6443]

Your narration is getting much better, more moderate, and your videos are very interesting

[@YachtBuoy]

Glad to hear that 🫡 Thanks for the feedback 🫡

[@garykaunang]

Heavy night.. Right, got it 😁

[@dano1525]

Love this trawler. Unfortunately my physicality makes it difficult to consider her for purchase, but as a live aboard she would be perfect.

[@mycruiseviews]

Thank you for an informative tour of a beautiful vessel. Nobody builds quality yachts like the Dutch. Is there any further detail about her range?

[@YachtBuoy]

Not yet! Only fuel burn rate 🫡

[@witchmellor]

Thanks John a lovely boat but a bit out of my price range by about 2.675m Euros 😂 I can always dream though. All the best ⚓

[@rael5469]

What are all those levers on the hydraulic manifold? Almost looks like an auxiliary control center.

[@johnschieffelin3226]

Nice boat, functional for sure. Not much to criticize but the lower helm seems like a lonely place for the helmsman. Thanks for the tour.

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for watching 🫡

[@arnopeters4676]

Perfect boat for exploring the European waters,fjords and other waters

[@fabpoltronieri]

Wonderful. What about the max range?

[@lapsedluddite3381]

I am wondering about these boats that have the helm station open to the saloon, how does the helmsperson maintain night vision? Is there some sort of blackout curtain that can be drawn to separate these areas?

[@zaniwoob]

Looks cool but can it do the drake passage?

[@timmcphillips5860]

Very nice, is it available with a custom interior ? I like the double lower and single upper bunks could it be done in both cabins ? The salon is not to my taste I,d rather have the tv just behind the helm and have a tv for seeing aft at the helm, also put seating large enough to sleep a good size person instead of the tv. I would like 2 anchors on the bow as it is a necessary in the Bahamas. And finally a hardtop with screens on the flybridge.

[@doolittlegeorge]

Plumb Bow very old actually and crazy efficient so interesting to see it make a comeback like #turbina days #thistle_sailboat Russia major military definitely biggest in nuclear age made these hulls crazy production numbers en route now suddenly. Great review! 😮😮😮

[@YachtBuoy]

Thank you! 🫡

[@caravantravels]

If this is an 'explorer yacht' designed for long and possibly rough passages, why are there no guard rails around the food prep area and the cook top?

[@byodeon]

Also no water maker.

[@temekuguy3465]

Did I miss him saying the range?

[@YachtBuoy]

@temekuguy3465 Nope! Instead, I added the fuel capacity and LPH as the range details have not been published. The boat was only launched about a month ago. I did some rough calcs and worked out a rough range of around 2,500 NM but the calculation had too many variables so instead I went for fuel capacity and LPH 🫡

[@wigro114]

Great tour , lets spin around is becoming a habit lol , lets spin around . Loving the vids though .

[@YachtBuoy]

Cheers! I have a habit of saying what I am doing, but, noted, nonetheless :-)

[@Slonge92]

Where do the people in the third stateroom take a shower?

[@Woodsmanbr549]

Good video,as usual. Is it a steel hull and what is the range ??? Dident see it in the notes.

[@SCYorks]

Just over 3500nm allowing for 10% reserve at a cruise speed of 9 knots burning 15 liters per hour.

[@rolandvanoevelen5514]

👍👍👍 Grt Belgie

[@YachtBuoy]

🙌🇧🇪

[@Baranoeda]

Absolutely beautiful. Slightly out of my budget, but if I were to buy a yacht for 2.675 MEUR I would seriously consider this one.

[@charlesetienne6037]

Nice and good price

[@pj4433]

I would be very happy in that. Love ut

[@vironvasiliadiz4123]

Its a beautiful bost love to be on one. Only thing is that the galley doesnt seem to have a lot of storage area. You can clearly see many areas that could ve been used for

[@diepieche]

I like this type of boat. I'm wondering whether it's suitable to operate in a tropical country?

[@cptmarktrimble]

Bridge side doors sliding on an exploration vessel ? DNV-GL Spec not to mention storm shutters on external portholes ?

[@RaymondHaag]

I would have liked to see port holes in the galley, for fresh air.

[@John-qd3xw]

I've been looking for a vessel to do the great loop. This may be it!

[@YachtBuoy]

Go for it!

[@clifbradley]

Beautiful yacht. Not normally a fan of the Scandinavian 'charter taupe' look everyone is going for lately, but in this, it truly works. Everything about this screams 'weekender' or a nice commuter yacht. Unfortunately with the platform out the back, it doesn't make that great of a fishing boat. Although you could do some drop casting or light trolling. Still, I would stick a jet ski on the back and get one for the front, tow a 28-33' chase boat and take this to the Bahamas and travel Eluethra, Ragged and the Wells. Maybe take it to Panama or Mexico and fish down there for a while.

[@MesaperProductions]

Can you beach on the spudpoles?

[@YachtBuoy]

As long as they are retracted and not deployed!

[@matthiasweigel311]

For 65 feet, just about ideal!!! Don't know if I need the flybridge on this one though...

[@dannyjanolo4601]

❤❤❤

[@gregzoller9003]

What is the range at 9knts cruising?

[@YachtBuoy]

circa 2,300 NM

[@orcunakman]

This boat checks every box for living on board. The only thing is I don't have any money :(

[@wendyharbon7290]

Very nice, can the interior and exterior, be designed to an owner personal requirements If it can, it may make an ideal disabled accessible motor explorer yacht.

[@armandovanhaaren9823]

What's the range?

[@anthony-1357]

I wish we had boats this nice in Australia. It's in the same league as a Fleming.

[@gaycha6589]

Lovely build fit and finish. Only criticism is that that the wheelhouse windows are too small with too many blind spots caused by the frames.

[@MichaelBerube-vi5ip]

Hi! How long can I expect too get out of the paint ? It will not be cheep to fix Rust and repaint it ! I would think $10,000 to $20,000 for a repaint and atleast 1 muonth time! I 'm in that Biz!

[@bloodvypa783]

The 3 bed cabin really needs it's own shower access, it's ok having to share the head but where do they shower?? Do they have to walk through the double cabin or walk into the owners suite for a shower, really not very well thought out there.

[@HopeOfJoe]

A very beautiful yacht........yet for the asking price, missing some redundancy in systems, no solar and an empty fly bridge and more.

[@EkBoon]

Recently I've watch the boat called OCEAN NESS and it'd be best if you could gave us a tour of completed renovation.

[@YachtBuoy]

Yes! I know the boat you are referring to. It would be amazing to get on board that.

[@evandrocodagnoni7901]

Porto União - South Brasil

[@suejackson3467]

Personally I would loose the guest bedroom attached to the half bath for laundry and more cold storage for long range travel

[@silvacorrealucivaldo]

Tá a venda

[@jamesmyatt354]

👍❤️

[@suejackson3467]

Would loose the fly bridge for solar panels

[@MrRonnmaui]

I really love the exterior design. Very classic lines. The inside seems a bit chopped up. The galley area is nice, but prefer that space above to share with living space. I would rather have two equal owner units with massive heads/showers instead of more small rooms for kids.

[@pioberlin]

This is a huge range with 7.000 Liter of fuel…👍

[@thomaspellehn4194]

Elementary interior design

[@MrTurcao197]

Cockpit and saloon are the size of a 50 foot boat and a giant bow.

[@radeksparowski7174]

need to make it fully electric and cover the whole above water part in fotovoltaic panels to make it a liveaboard power plant....

[@jpmerrick8886]

Light airey i like it but im a kady krogen type

[@Bob-bo8ik]

Nice boat. a wee bit Ikea on the inside. The bullwarks could do to be taller for kids and pets. This is something more manufacturers should consider. Boat owners are not all older people anymore.

[@kbbb4227]

It shows like an 80 footer

[@kbbb4227]

By 2028 these types of boats are going to have to start making allowances for flying cars, maybe just the tenders altogether.

[@YachtBuoy]

I love EVTOLs 😍

[@marspp]

It’s great apart from those ridiculously thick pillars between the windows in the pilot house. That’s really poor.

[@LordLauderdale]

Why get this over a Nordhavn or Fleming

[@michaelhewlett887]

the yacht its self looks good but sorry seating is one step above park benches

[@Blanchy10]

That seating area forward of the wheelhouse looks tailored for RIB tender!

[@bobjohnson2150]

It's somewhat nice but it to much money for it with the layout if it you did a great job making the video

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks 👍

[@whollyshoots3587]

Nice boats but too expensive for the material used to design and build this boat. Neither the exterior nor the interior worth this price 😅
