  • Stephen swapped his Princess 40 flybridge for this smart modern sportscruiser, the Beneteau Gran Turismo 38. Here he tells us why.

    What I love about this MTO is the honest and open points shared which are a real eye opener regarding the realities of boat ownership based on your needs

    Never apologise, Nick - what we love about your channel is the authenticity, everything from the enthusiasm over the tiniest details to the inadvertent (and rare) f**k-ups! It's all authentic - as the kids would say, you're "keeping it real" and for that we salute you.

    Interesting development 😂 Personally, I find it more interesting to hear from people who are selling a boat (as opposed to deliriously happy people that just bought one). You get a much better impression of the pros and cons and realities of owning them. Whether a boat is 'great' or not utterly depends on the usage the owner expects of it.

    Very well thought out choice. Experience with previous boats has naturally formed the "must have" and the "avoid" lists. Well suited for many, this review was enjoyable and comprehensive. Thank both of you for sharing!

    I love how things like tables have a double use, lowering it with cushions make a bed, watch at the 13 min 35 seconds even his shirt could double as a table cloth, add an empty wine bottle with a candle stuck in it and you got "atmosphere".
    Big fan, once my bitcoins etc buy me a yacht, I'll invite Nick and wife on board

    Will def watch this later as we’re thinking our next boat, after our Parker 850, will be a Beneteau GT. Either a new 32 or a used 38. Although, I think I may be more tempted by the open version of the 32GT - the Flyer 10 - as we never sleep on board.

    Well that’s a bit different…… Really not sure I would move from a Princess to a Beneteau….. imo. A bit like moving from driving a classic Bentley….to a ford focus ! 🤷‍♂️…still takes all sorts to make the world go round ….. I would much much prefer a slightly older Engine style with far more reliability….even if it does use a bit more fuel …. Modern Engines that rely on Electronics…can have huge problems…..as a friend of ours knows to his Huge cost …. 😮😮🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️….Anyway …..Very interesting none the less ….Really looking fwd to the Next part to see what Steve has moved on to now 🤔🤔🤔🤔……Love these Meet the Owners videos top job again Nick 👍❤️😎🏴‍☠️

    I think Steve needs to really do a closer analysis of his needs and wants. Buying another boat every few months because you haven't figured out what you really want is not cost effective. My wife would not allow me to do this, and I would end up with no boat.

    Just a matter of taste I guess but the Princess
    though perhaps a little old fashioned seems a much nicer boat.
    If the Princess is continually doing 5 knots
    on the Thames the engines will soon get glazed bores. They need to work hard.
    £1000 fuel cost each way? Surely not.
    Smoky diesels went out in the 80s unless they are worn or need work.
    Getting wetted with spray
    on the Flybridge? Must have been rough. Much smaller boats with only one deck are dry in most conditions.
