The Holterman X-Treme 78 Fly. Is this the BEST in her class?

I have to admit, I am a huge fan of Holterman Yachts! The Bernd Weel design and amazing Dutch build quality makes them totally unique and extremely desirable.
I flew to film this example on a lake in The Netherlands, but she shall shortly be relocating to Spain. Actually, she's just a great yacht WHEREVER you want to take her!

[@joshmore7175]

It's not very often I'm genuinely jealous of a yacht but bloody hell that's absolutely beautiful

[@jackfierst6327]

I am literally addicted to yacht videos. This one is hands down my favorite. Once i’m a multi millionaire I will be owning one of these. Id ask for a fitted hot tub on the stern of the fly bridge instead of the sunbathing platform… and I’d pay whatever it took to get it.

[@delgadomd1]

Great job David. The boat is beautiful in quality, and style, as presented. Thanks for continuing to bring us great content. Thanks for sharing

[@seanogden927]

I can understand why you love this yacht David it is just beautiful inside and out, Love all the different colours and finishes and it is quite roomy through out. Great tour thank you.

[@AntonMann]

Honestly I'm very impressed by this yacht, it feels much bigger than 78ft. And the finishings are so beautiful, there is quality everywhere you look. Your comparison with the established brands is spot on. While their offers are great, they come short compared to this. But, one very Dutch thing you didn't go into. Price! Obviously due to the wide range of customization a fixed price is hard to give. An indication or a starting price would have been nice to mention for us mere mortals.

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Good point. I mentioned it in a previous video that was a trailer to this one. The price will be a little over €5m depending on options.

[@AntonMann]

@@Yachtsforsaleblog That puts her right into the range of a Sanlorenzo SX76/88, which I instinctively feel is its main competitor in this size. Looking at the company website, they do have a very nice lineup in development. Curious to see if they also will develop a yacht in the 140ft range in a few years. Exciting builder to watch! 😃

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

I love the design and profile of this yacht. Love that there is a captain side door, deep walkable bulwarks and can be owner operated even for that size. Would be amazing to see something in the 60ft range where it could potentially be kitted out to be single handed with the proper tech. Oh, and that stake that plunges into the seabed, what a cool idea. First time hearing of it.

[@clifbradley]

David, you were looking for the brands 'Spot Zero' and 'Skyhook'. Van DerValk claims they are they most accommodating shipyard with custom requests. Gotta say though that other than this yacht being buikt out of GRP and Van DerValk using primarily aluminum, this does seem like a more custom shipyard. But I've never ordered a yacht so I wouldn't know. Even Bering says their yachts under 24m are 'semi-custom'.

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Hi Cliff - this yacht is aluminium too.

[@markuswunsch]

7:23 also known as submarine defense system ;-) Great idea, though not sure if it causes more harm to the seafloor than an anchor so that would be interesting to know... this said for sustainability reasons many yacht owners even switched to dynamic positioning systems. Overall a great yacht which was well executed with a nice General Arrangement plan.... even though I am getting a few Texan country club vibes due to the chosen color pattern.

[@berndhaverkock6070]

I would think, that when lowering the anchor, you might drag it over/through the ground. While these poles might just put 2 holes in the ground. But they will work in comparable still waters only, with not much of waves and slow going waters. But this is only what I guess - without any experience.

[@p.r.9219]

I would've liked to know range & fuel capacity. A hybrid drive option available ?

[@AB-ol5uz]

Also - may have missed it but it would be helpful to put all of the specs in the title or the about section (length, width, amount of draft, range, etc.).

[@johnschieffelin3226]

Nice tour David, but did you mention the cruising speed/top speed/range of this yacht? If so, I missed it. Very clever design, I would guess the owner is a highly-experienced yachtsman. But why was an ocean-going yacht like this located in a dinky lake when you toured it? The galley did not impress me -- there was minimal storage space for food. But the huge array of champagne bottles and glasses indicates the owner has other things on his mind than food! Unusual yacht with many appealing features and ideas, well-executed.

[@AB-ol5uz]

recommend putting a link to the builder and your original video in the about section so people can navigate quickly.

[@neilwharton720]

The seaweed police in Ibiza would really be on your case with the spud pole, bad enough your anchor chain touching the seaweed it’s become a nightmare trying to anchor anywhere now. But I like the idea no swinging at anchor with this.

[@RA-gk5zg]

I'm not familiar with Ibiza. What do you mean by 'seaweed police '?

[@neilwharton720]

When you anchor in the popular places you have to anchor in sand to protect the Poseidon seaweed it’s now protected to preserve the marine life that lives in it, the authorities patrol the beach anchorage’s and have a device that lets them look into the depths to see where you have anchored if you are even touching the seaweed they give out big fines.

[@TheLukanda]

[@mjr320]

78ft is borderline owner operator and i have always been a fan of the Absolute Navetta yachts but i have to say this is stunning especially for family or friends trips, i am not sure if i missed it but what was the range of this yacht

wow!!!! Stunning!!!! Did I miss the price???

[@kevinvandal8595]

Beautiful boat, realy love it. Nice to see that the shipyard is doing fine, they were scammed by a 'buyer' pretty hard last april. One point of critice, this looks like an explorer yacht but it is not. Dont think you can go into rough weather like a Nordhavn or a Bering yacht. This is in style only.

[@AB-ol5uz]

could it handle going up along a cost like Northeast up to Nova Scotia or Washington up to Alaska?

[@kevinvandal8595]

Always ask the Builder for the use casus than a random guy on the internet. But I would say its more for the mediterranean or the caribbean

Great yacht, what is the price?

[@mattbrower2545]

[@TheMastaRob]

Awesome boat! Slight correction perhaps - American black walnut isnt especially expensive, not for a boat like this, or heavy, it weighs similar to MDF. I use it a lot in my own work, it's one of the lowest quality timbers I use, but then I use a lot of genuinely heavy and expensive exotics. Also honestly I wouldnt choose it for a boat like this, it tends to bleach pretty heavily in sunlight, and isnt especially pretty. Strange choice, perhaps a custom request.

[@llspragulus]

You mentioned the weight drops the speed. However, I somehow missed where you spoke of the speed and range specs.

Tie the new ships computer up to a SDR (radio) ... control the ship via GMRS radio ... do language translations via VHF radio on the fly... possibilities are endless. Just don't tell the FCC the radio part, they might frown on that.

A beautiful thing and being Dutch built no doubt superb quality, hard to relay to those that don't know, how incredible the Dutch are building yachts. There is your Skoda run of the mill plastic boat builders and then there is Rolls Royce Aluminium and steel Dutch builders. Whether its Feadship, Royal Huisman, Mulder, Haakvort et al , just a different league. Only downside to this yacht is she is on IPS so for true blue water cruisers not really an option . As a med boat thought probably the best you can get.
