This landlubber Nordhavn fan learned today from a 9 yo kid that the stepped wooded shower was so you don't get thrown around while scrubbin' up. Talking to you Jeff Merrill.
Cassidy!!!! What a smart and sweet girl!! My daughter is now sixteen, remembered when she was the same as Cassidy now. Watched Cassidy talk about her cabin, the smile from my face did not come off....
I must say this was the best Nordhavn marketing I have seen, two years from retirement and considering it over a Nordic Tug...however your daughter stole the show...she could sell a 100 boats...you are blessed.
This presentation is impressive for many reasons. Greatest impact comes from realizing, with each part of the tour, that you are thoughtful, careful mariners. I love the electronics augmented with manual controls. I love the backups for everything. The extra motor on a separate electrical buss and fuel supply is a superb design! Patterning my journey against the gold standard you've set!
Probably the best walk through of a trawler that I have ever seen. Enough content, in a clear straightforward manner; without being redundant or frivolous. Can’t wait to watch more of your adventures.
Sir, this is by far the most invaluably detailed boat tour that I 've ever seen. I appreciate the ton of info you shared in this video. Beautiful liveaboard family. Godspeed, Cap'n!
I really like the fact that you won and have practical experience with this boat and are giving the viewers an honest overview of the positives and negatives. You are living my dream M/V!
Made our day...as we owned this boat back in 2007 under the name Midora. This video is a great Christmas present to go with our many fond memories and photos. Smooth sailing always.
I have never experienced such an in-depth presentation of a Nordhavn. A special treat, I am from S. Calif but transplanted to Florida. It was euphoric to see Catalina Island at the beginning of your presentation :). Thank you for sharing.
Sam Winston James - Catalina is a special place for us. We started cruising to the island in our first boat 20 years ago when living in San Diego so it holds a lot of memories. It’s changed a lot but still a nice place and we are on the island for the week of the Thanksgiving holiday. We will put together a video of our passage from SF to Catalina in the near future.
This has been an incredible tour of your vessel.i love the detail you covered concerning the electronics, your wife and daughter also did a brilliant job showing the berths and head. Thanks for this incredible tour, safe sailing and fair winds.
Thanks for taking the time to show us the inside look at your beautiful and well-fitted-out boat. You are living a lifestyle that many will only dream about. Good weather and fair seas for you!
I am in love with this 40, absolutely stunning. I am just to old for a Cassidy in my life right now to get into that anchor hatch 😁 my boys's head won't even fit.
I was only aware of this boat from articles about crossing oceans. This was a total pleasure to watch. Thank you for taking the time to make it. Safe journeys and calm seas!
I have watched a lot of Nordhavn pics, whether by the company or other corporate or private owners/sellers, and this is by far the best video I have watched. The basic layout is the same from 40 up to about 93. The things like each and every instrument, securing the anchor, each item in the engine room, etc are maybe common knowledge but their operation is well explained. All of you 3 did a great job. Time is not an issue but money is, so in the mean time I live vicariously LOL. Good luck and safe travels.
That was truely excellent, thank you. FYI - gas struts on your bed cost less than $20 and will hold it open for you as well as take 90% of the weight when you open it. I wish I had toured around at your age, rather than older, you guys rock!!! 🇦🇺 Come see Sydney. 👋
I was taking my usual morning walk around Dana Point Harbor and right near the Nordhavn office I spotted a 40' that was new in the slip. As I looked at the stern, sure enough it was Cassidy! Glad to see you visiting our beautiful harbor and hope you get to enjoy all the holiday lights and fun activities offered. I'll look again tomorrow and if I see you I'll give you a friendly wave. Your videos are always very enjoyable.
Thank you for taking the time to put this together. So much better than the brokers tours that are void of humans, scale and belongings. Your presence gave us a true peek into living aboard. Look forward to following your journey.
probably the best overall presentation of the nordhavn. the sales folks in Dana Point would benefit from this comprehensive and thorough presentation, because you will probably sell more Nordys than they will. greatly appreciate this video. excellent, well done!!
Ha! Reminds me of being a kid. My dad owned his own yacht brokerage and I truly think big boats were the fondest memory of my childhood. Your kid is hilarious, she like, Vana White’ing your boat. My sister was her age when we were really on the water so all of this is so nice to see. Great video top to bottom!!!!
Good boat working description, I like the way you described on how everything works, better than a lot of other commentary I’ve herd, they just point out that’s that and this does that. Thankyou!
Great video. Your daughter is adorable. Reminds me of my kids when they were that age. The best of times. Also, one of the best Nordhavn videos I have seen. Safe travels.
That was a very comprehensive view of your fine boat, thank you. I truly enjoyed seeing all of the parts that make up an ocean going trawler! Very impressive!
Great presentation folks, Just tells us what we want to know without trying to sell us a boat, I think Cassidy could have a career in TV , well done kiddo !!!
Thanks a bunch for this very thorough tutorial on nearly every aspect of living aboard a trawler. Very well done. I’m so glad I stumbled on your channel.
This was the best boat tour I have ever seen. You guys did a good job! Congrats!,,, I was so impressed, this video but all the rest of them to shame. So knowledgeable!
Great boats and a great design! I was considering buying a Nordhavn couple of years back but ended up with an older motorsailor instead, a Fisher, but the wheelhouse design is the same. A really great walktrough of the boat showing all the systems as well as lockers and everything. seems to be quite some storagerooms and lockers onboard. Great for longer passagemaking and liveaboard. great vid!!
This is not a channel that I normally watch, but credit where credit is due, you folks did an outstanding job with this boat tour! Very thorough, and no cheesy sound track. lol I normally don't like the cutaway scene change to the next location because it leaves the viewer disoriented, but you handled it very well and kept the viewer well updated regarding their location from scene to scene. Congrats... on livin' the dream. :)
Great video guys very informative I like the way the whole family get involved I love the way you go through the workings of the boat and what does what myself I am looking for a yacht that service my needs which is fishing,scuba-diving, and travelling between the Caribbean Islands your video if it was based on ratings I would give you five out of five stars fantastic.....
Amazing Family presentation of boat. Loved it. Appreciate the efforts ,all three of you put in creating video.You guys have certainely contributed a lot thru video. thank you soo much for this video. Wish u safe n joyfull time together Happy Sailing.
Excellent presentation. I particularly liked your explanation of the instruments. AND one who has never owned a large boat I found your explanations stunning and extremely helpful. I had seen many boats of this size on you tube but no one had explained in more details what all the instruments were for and how they helped in the overall picture. Actually before running across your you tube I was about to search instrument s and explanations in the wheel house of a trawler. Your girl could probably sell the old shoes off a coal miner.:)
Hello M/V Cassidy! Just wanted you guys to know that you just got yourselves a new super fan! As a Nordhavn dreamer your channel is a blessing and keep up the good work you are an inspiration😊 I wish I could write this in Norwegian, but hopefully you understand my point anyways :-) Hope to se a lot more from you and personally I love the practical stuff with the boat and systems. And with that said, Nordhavns are incredible and one day maybe I will get my hands on one with will have a harbor in the north, Alt godt, Tony 🇳🇴
I'm not a fan of motor boat… but a few details clearly show this family know what life at sea is. I'm not talking about the spaceship electronics ! … ;)) Cheers wish you the best
This is pretty cool! I'm going to watch it in sections to extend the time I can watch. Not much of what you outline is at all new to me (I don't have a Nordhavn though) but it is so neat to just walk though it all.
Very well presented video. It has given me insight and encouraged me to learn more before deciding on a boat. Keep up the good work .. I am looking forward to more videos. Kudos.

Ok...... this is the best boat description I have ever seen, which is saying something considering that this is a Nordhavn.
yep, very thorough and with the right amount of technical detail necessary for safe offshore passage ... this is a good crew ...
This landlubber Nordhavn fan learned today from a 9 yo kid that the stepped wooded shower was so you don't get thrown around while scrubbin' up. Talking to you Jeff Merrill.
Finally, someone does a great boat tour. By far the best (out of 35 video tours) I've seen, the best 49 minutes I spent.
Thank you!
Cassidy!!!! What a smart and sweet girl!! My daughter is now sixteen, remembered when she was the same as Cassidy now. Watched Cassidy talk about her cabin, the smile from my face did not come off....
Probably the best pilot house tour I’ve seen on UA-cam
Best boat tour on youtube. So many people overly abbreviate these videos down to 8 or 10 min.
I must say this was the best Nordhavn marketing I have seen, two years from retirement and considering it over a Nordic Tug...however your daughter stole the show...she could sell a 100 boats...you are blessed.
This presentation is impressive for many reasons. Greatest impact comes from realizing, with each part of the tour, that you are thoughtful, careful mariners.

Probably the best walk through of a trawler that I have ever seen. Enough content, in a clear straightforward manner; without being redundant or frivolous. Can’t wait to watch more of your adventures.
Fantastic tour. All about the boat and not about you. And you daughter is girl to be super proud of. Great job.
Sir, this is by far the most invaluably detailed boat tour that I 've ever seen. I appreciate the ton of info you shared in this video. Beautiful liveaboard family. Godspeed, Cap'n!
Great boat and Great Family.and your daughter is precious.and explains great.your blessed.God bless you all
I really like the fact that you won and have practical experience with this boat and are giving the viewers an honest overview of the positives and negatives. You are living my dream M/V!
Absolutely one of the best boat tours I've ever watched
This is probably the best video description, of a private vessel, I have ever seen. Thank you very much and safe travels!
Absolutely fantastic tour. One thing I learned from this is, if I ever win the lottery I know now to buy a 60 footer
The little one gave one of the best boat tours I’ve seen. I’m going to start wrapping my kids heads in plastic wrap too!
same
What’s the benefit of wrapping kids heads in plastic?
Made our day...as we owned this boat back in 2007 under the name Midora. This video is a great Christmas present to go with our many fond memories and photos. Smooth sailing always.
What are you cruising on now?
That’s an excellent live aboard in a manageable size. Cassidy did a great job with her presentation.
Miss Cassidy is the best boat tour host i've ever seen, not kidding - liked and subscribed
I have never experienced such an in-depth presentation of a Nordhavn. A special treat, I am from S. Calif but transplanted to Florida. It was euphoric to see Catalina Island at the beginning of your presentation :). Thank you for sharing.

We will put together a video of our passage from SF to Catalina in the near future.
You are doing a great job raising your daughter! I was impressed with her confidence and her ability to communicate.
This has been an incredible tour of your vessel.i love the detail you covered concerning the electronics, your wife and daughter also did a brilliant job showing the berths and head. Thanks for this incredible tour, safe sailing and fair winds.
That is a lot of boat for the size. I can appreciate all the extra backup systems for safety. They build a very capable boat.
Thanks for taking the time to show us the inside look at your beautiful and well-fitted-out boat. You are living a lifestyle that many will only dream about. Good weather and fair seas for you!

I am in love with this 40, absolutely stunning. I am just to old for a Cassidy in my life right now to get into that anchor hatch 😁 my boys's head won't even fit.
Very nice tour of your boat. Enjoy your journeys!
Thanks so much!
I was only aware of this boat from articles about crossing oceans. This was a total pleasure to watch. Thank you for taking the time to make it. Safe journeys and calm seas!
Little Princess explanation is great
Only just found this....Great tour, really usefull and thanks for the detailed explanations!
Cassidy is wonderful as well- what a lovely young lady.

i wish this family especially Cassidy smooth and safe travels, thanks for the video.
I wish all boat reviews were this detailed and had such a cute little girl to give stateroom details and operation.
Great tour. The Pilot house explanation was gold
That was truely excellent, thank you.
FYI - gas struts on your bed cost less than $20 and will hold it open for you as well as take 90% of the weight when you open it.
I wish I had toured around at your age, rather than older, you guys rock!!! 🇦🇺 Come see Sydney. 👋
Cassidy did a very good job with her presentation. It looks like you've prepared your boat to be quite sea worthy.
"This is laundry. Not much to explain about THAT." :)
I was taking my usual morning walk around Dana Point Harbor and right near the Nordhavn office I spotted a 40' that was new in the slip. As I looked at the stern, sure enough it was Cassidy!

i love how Cassidy has decorated her room. I imagine allowing my grandson to do the same on our boat.
Little lady is so adorable. She must experience so much from sea life.
probably the best overall presentation of the nordhavn. the sales folks in Dana Point would benefit from this comprehensive and thorough presentation, because you will probably sell more Nordys than they will. greatly appreciate this video. excellent, well done!!

Great boats and a great design! I was considering buying a Nordhavn couple of years back but ended up with an older motorsailor instead, a Fisher, but the wheelhouse design is the same.
A really great walktrough of the boat showing all the systems as well as lockers and everything. seems to be quite some storagerooms and lockers onboard. Great for longer passagemaking and liveaboard. great vid!!

Most detailed boat tour I’ve seen, thanks.
Thanks for the tour. Awesome vlog. I love these trawlers.
Thank you very I enjoyed this from a Yorkshire land lubber
Very impressive! Thanks.
Excellent walkthrough video! Thanks a lot. Also, a really nice boat.
This is pretty cool! I'm going to watch it in sections to extend the time I can watch. Not much of what you outline is at all new to me (I don't have a Nordhavn though) but it is so neat to just walk though it all.
