As an architectural designer, who strictly follows the "form follows function" ethos - this was pure boat porn for me...! (And I'm not even a huge fan of sailing vessels!) You had me at 'no A/C'... "You're not going to need A/C where we're going... Heat? Yeah, you'll need that." Where are the TVs...?!? Why no Italian designer cushions...?!? "We don't need no stickin' designers...!" Great vessel... Great tour Nick...! Cheers mate.
OMG that has to be the most fascinating video you have ever produced, what an amazing boat tour, I could have watched hours of that, thank you so much for sharing that Nick, absolutely brilliant.
@@AQUAHOLIC I wish you could go back some day and spend a whole weekend with the crew and your camera on. I bet there is just so much more cool stuff and stories to tell... but I guess that you would have to charter the boat as it seems these folks are busy 24/7 ;) Thanks for an amazing video!

WOW, this is awesome! I started working on the yard that built the Pelagic in April last year, as they just started to work on the internals. My co-worker and I did all the electrics and Nav equiment. Great learning experience, and super proud of the final product. Since it was my first, this will be forever 'my boat'. Amazing to see it on your channel, thank you Nick!
Wow, that was totally amazing but as aquaholic deals with everything connected with water, it was only fair that an expedition yacht got on to it! A brilliant experience and full tour of an amazing expedition (hand-built) yacht, well done nick!
and this is why Aquaholic is my favorite channel. it's interesting to see the luxury pleasure yachts passing by on this channel But the expedition yachts like these inspire to look beyond the horizon for yourself. Ships like this make the story that no one can tell you if you haven't been part of the story
A gift. A rare treat. A "Come look at this" moment. Nick, to get a personal tour, on such a yacht demonstrates your depth in the "community". As to he boat - at times on the tour I'd think "but what about this or that" then there it would be. The boat has everything - not just safety, but comfort as well. Lots of different places to "tuck yourself away". Thank you Nick. Thank you for sharing. And yes - STUNNING BOAT. The dreams ARE being nurtured.
Damn wonderful! at 70 this is as close to adventure anyone will let get any more.. Truly fascinating stuff. I am very glad you did this one.. Makes me wish it had it all over to do again.. Oh, the fun of adventuring around the world.. It has been a good life my friend.. Cheers!
77 feet or 23.5 meters - to me it came across like a cross between the looks of a sailing vessel and the body work of a heavily armored tank and the seaworthiness of a nuclear submarine. Respect, yes.
It’s great to see how an explorer boat is fit for purpose just like you said, nothing is there if it doesn’t need to be there and it’s very different from the princess’ or the sunseeker’s which is a great thing to see! Absolutely love this Nick!
Tony Castro, your design element requiring regular visits to the engine room to operate a few basic, daily systems is a brilliant idea. Nothing like eyes on to spot what's wrong. The Pelagic 77 is a wonderful expedition sailing ship!
What an incredible boat. I love the ultimate level of practicality they designed into it. No luxury anywhere, yet it still looks very comfortable and livable. Thank you for showing this.
Wow! I think that's the most impressive boat you've had on the channel. Function, simplicity and redundancy, without being completely spartan. The design quirk that forces people into the engine room is quite clever. No fear leaving that in the marina, anything hitting that is coming off second best
I've watched you for years, and you have always delivered amazing content - but this is my favourite so far! I am more impressed with this boat than any of the multimillion dollar yachts. Nice work :) And your guide was perfect.
Outstanding tour and vessel! Every word and action makes perfect sense! Purpose designed with premier safety in mind to start with! Thank you for this, I'll be sharing with my sailing friends!
@@tacodias If he's Portuguese, then all my Dutch collegues are either fakes, he's spent most of his life in The Netherlands or you're incredibly naive...
This was a fantastic watch. Thanks for putting this out. Speaking to the designer Tony brings a whole new and intuitive perspective of explorer yachts. Bravo!
Well done Nick! What insight into explorer yachts! Thanks for posting! Your videos are the best on the net! Watched this one twice so far in 100f degrees here in the Arizona desert.
One of the best videos yet. Would love to see more explorer type yachts and their purpose. Maybe you need to take that type of adventure. You forgot to introduce the young lady from the engine room
If you design and build a boat for Skip Novak you know that you better don't mess up! Whatever nature has will be thrown against it for sure. Fantastic result!
An absolutely amazing boat and tour Nick, great to see a true exploration sailing yacht and the explanations as to why things were done in such a way, really enjoyed this one
A truly excellent presentation to capture the intent of this yacht. It is nice to see a functional yacht, still capturing quality of life on board, yet built for a purpose. Tony is a true gentleman. Great video.
wonderfully crafted boat "fit for purpose". Every inch designed to function without compromise. The Yanmar engines say it all with cable control & reliability. Cracking video.
This is by far the most fascinating boat I’ve ever seen! Never mind the super yachts or mega yachts, I’d want to take this boat for an adventure of a lifetime!
Just brilliant! Thank you for the tour. Would love to see you add more unusual boats like this to your mix of pleasure yachts. Not that I mind the pleasure yachts and luxury, I look forward to watch more of those too… but your tours are so thorough and informative that getting perspective on some of these working boats would be absolutely fascinating.
A good stable workhorse does what it says on the tin or what Tony says. Everything is planned for work, so the standards of safety for guests and crew in the wilderness of the sea is catered for. Beautiful practical safe boat. Excellent film Nick.
That’s really an incredible ship. I love your conversations with the owners and designers. So much insight is gleaned by hearing what they have to say. Thank you, Nick!
@@AQUAHOLIC Truly enjoying them all. You’re going to make me buy a boat! 😂🙌 I’ve no idea how I found your videos, but I’m hooked and will most likely have the means. I’m thinking a Smuggler’s Blues US version, though! Or a fantastic charter through the Caribbean with friends!
this is one of the very few Sailing Boats tours Ive watched. Usually I ignore the sailing ones - not my type of boats, i love Bering and Nordhavn style boats.
What a ship! So much redundancy built in to make anyone feel safe crossing any part of the worlds seas and oceans. I love that the engines get the full beam master space! Thanks Nick 👍
Stunning boat. Built on experience with no experimentation. Failsafe systems with no redundancy anywhere. Loved all the cabins. Very comfy and the communal area was fastantic. Galley looked pretty good too. With only 4 crew, they must all have multiple jobs. How do you find people with those skills? Someone who can cook a 3-course meal and plot a course to Antarctica! Those watertight doors were fantastic. I would feel really safe on this boat and I can't wait to see what new science she is able to facilitate.
Absolutely amazing tour, I've been watching videos of Skip's voyages wherever I could find them. This has to be just the most perfect boat I've seen on your channel!
Mr. Castro, a quite interesting character to listen to. It must have been a dream day for you to film another superb interview, tour. Thank You yet again Sir!
From the epitome of luxury on Blue Moon (with your vlog playing on a TV screen) to the personification of safety on Vinson. Great viewing this morning by you and David.
Thanks Nick, that's a great tour of this fantastic vessel, great to see around this wonderful yacht with Tony Castro and your follow up interview with Skip Novak, what a great vessel made for exploration. Great job...
Fascinating video, just like a documentary. So much thought went into the design of this ship - having an on/off switch only in the engine room to force people to go there - genius! Great to see Nick managed to open a locker...... Just by looking at the ship from the pontoon - you know it is going to encounter some tough conditions. Great video - thanks again Nick!
What a beautiful vessel! It’s amazing how thoroughly you have integrated the ship’s technology and the crew needs. I wish I could be one of the scientists you hope to host!
No AC!!!!!ya lost me….what do they do when headed through the tropics to the Antarctic …sweat it out???????…….not for me…. I’m 21st Century spoiled…..otherwise cool boat (pun intended)!!!!!!!…
I really found this very interesting to watch. Very nice to see a tour of a different type of boat than what I’ve seen from your videos so far. Really enjoyed this one!
Wow,Nick it just gets better and better, thanks to Tony also, everything very get-attable, superlative , very practical to have form over function, Everytime you show us your know your subject matter, splendid, keep up the good work, I think we are all aquaholics now.
What an amazing piece of kit. Also the fact that he said he would rather not use the anchor to not disturb whats happening on the sea-floor is absolutely Incredible. Would have not even crossed my mind that it is disruptive (ignorance from my side). Just shows that some people actually care. In the words of Nick: "thats fantastic" =)
Talk about 'fit for purpose'! That's an astonishing design and beautifully constructed. I'd happily go to the ends of the earth for that one (or should that be 'ON' that one). The first view of those massive winches in the cockpit set the scene so well. You found something quite remarkable. Lucky you.
Now this is a serious, global vessel! Form follows function perfectly! Another great change of pace and tour! I love the diversity of uploads on this channel. Thank you so much! What a treat! Can’t wait for the interview with Skip.
What a beast! The most amazing thing I heard was the setup that forces a makeshift rotation through the mechanical space. That's thinking that comes from decades of experience. As Nick would say...Brilliant!
Thank you for showing a proper walk through and showing what the boat looks like I watched a previous video claiming to show the ship but all the channel showed was the hallway and a tiny view of the cabin from the hallway it was a horrible video. Thanks again for doing it properly 👍🏻
Wow. Amazingly capable yacht. Love Skip Novak's videos from the Roaring Forties. That living area is surprisingly cozy. I would just love to join an expedition like this one day!
Hope you come Across a Garcia Exploration yacht someday, owner operated thing in comparison to this, also sailing! But with style & luxury, also with a aluminium hull
@@ike1660 And yet Nordhavns cross oceans all the time. Its the only production motor yacht that really does it all the time, with no fuzz. Just goes to show how incredible this sailing vessel is.
Unfortunately there is only one like button...so pressing it twice does not help. Huge video! Great job! To see something I didn't even know existed (sail-boat for the far south) and have it explained by someone who knows it to the nuts and bolts is amazing. Thank you Nick! Best spent half an hour! If you were to repay "Yachts for sale" favor where in one of his recent videos says "you won't see something like this on "Aquaholic", well I'm sure we won't see this kind of boat in his videos...

Simply amazing. An interesting principal. Nothing here that doesn’t need to be. Function over form. One of my all time favorites.
Tony is of the ilk that built the world without a word of complaint or fuss. Kudos to him and you Nick for bringing such wonders to our living rooms.
Loved this. This is "my" sort of boat. No frills. Safety is a priority. Well designed. Comfortable. The ideal boat for extreme conditions.
Absolutely amazing. You're a lucky guy Nicolas to get to crawl around such a wonderful piece of kit like that.
Sure am! 🙂

Well done! Tony is a pleasure to listen to and obviously proud of the work he and his team did. Thanks for getting this interview.
Been a subscriber to KM yatcht for a long time their yachts are the best
I’ve never been much for sailing vessels, but this one is exceptional! Really dig the simplicity and ruggedness. Great find Nick!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
25:59 I can see a man of culture as well, with the mate game going strong in that boat!
Why would people downvote this video? It was great. Very interesting to see the thought that goes into something this unique. What a great build.
This is a FANTASTIC boat! Absolutely solid, practical, great performance, and used in a brilliant way. Love it!
I didnt see an inside helm station. That is desireable for sailing high lstitudes. An oversight ?
What an incredible boat. I love the ultimate level of practicality they designed into it. No luxury anywhere, yet it still looks very comfortable and livable. Thank you for showing this.
amazing piece of kit and what a pleasure to have the designer there to explain the thought process behind the details. Chapeau!

Easily the best boat yet. Great video!
Amazing boat, looking forward for the next 25 minutes!

A nice machine. Can go anywhere well done guys. Good craftsmanship the aluminum is dead straight no buckles from welding stress well planned
