If I had the money to choose, I'd buy an old one like this and refit it. They have so much more style than most of the more recent floating IKEA caravans.
@@geoffpegler4506 absolutely. I worked on an older Abeking that had a secondary engineers cabin converted to an owner's cabin while we traveled across the ocean. He insisted of being on board during transit, but didn't like the main deck master up front so he had the cabin near the engine room converted into a space for him and that meant both engineers then bunked together. That also meant he thought he was part of the crew and would eat in the crew lounge sometimes or come watch a movie at night. I know he was lonely but it put you constantly on edge.
I don't know, they might start getting ideas...next thing you know they might want to see the sunlight, then it's the guillotine for us. They should just be happy we have diesel engines instead of oars
The exterior is flawless, the interior could be given some 60s decor, but its a lot of boat for a smidge over £4m. That rear arbour on the upper deck is just about the most perfect relaxing spot ever seen on a boat.
The lamps and ottoman in the salon were screaming 60's. I only know because my grandma has furniture that looks just like it that hasn't been updated since 😂 And the crew area's cabinetry was also very 60's. I do agree though, it needed just a bit more to liven it up 😊 And that rear seating area was DIVINE 😍
Many yachts featured on Aquaholic are stylish and artfully appointed. Many are literally works of art. Some so gorgeous that simply looking becomes a bit intimidating as everything is just so and nothing can be moved or the decor would be spoiled - fun to visit. This yacht feels as though it is literally inviting folks aboard just for the enjoyment. Kudos to all involved in this rebuild and special thanks to Aquaholic for the video.
If the Oxford dictionary ever published an illustrated version, this beauty would appear under the definition of "yacht". She must turn heads where ever she goes. True classic elegance with the expected modern amenities. Definitely one of the best you have shared with us. Thanks Nick.
Sir Nick, I don't normally comment on your superyacht videos but this one is truly exquisite. Thank you as always for a fabulous tour; no one can give such a grand tour like you!
I’ve seen, and enjoyed pretty much all of your yacht tours. Most of them are absolutely fantastic, but every now and again, there’s one that makes me exclaim “oh my word”. This is one of those times. That owner’s cabin takes your breath away. The whole boat has a floating “orient express” vibe. So stylish and classy, yet with modern features tastefully incorporated. I think this is my new favourite yacht.
I'm a 1967 Andy ! This boat is perfect for me! I love that each crew gets a personal room, with shared bathrooms. That makes so much more sense than shared rooms with ensuites - I'm sure that crew would rather private room with shared bathrooms than shared rooms with individual bathrooms.
That's absolutely beautiful. That fly-bridge with the enclosed seating at each end is one of the most inviting things I can remember seeing on this channel. Good to see a tastefully-appointed super yacht at last!
I love, LOVE classic yacht styling. Even if I got my lottery windfall and purchased a new superyacht, I'd have the interior done up like that. Love the dark woods and the contrasts. The paneling, cabinetry, all of it! Just lovely!
This fine example of a vintage yacht is a site to behold. No matter where you sail you become a part of the beauty of the location when you're on a fine vintage Benetti yacht.
What is absolutely brilliant about this yacht is of course the comfortable, classic feel of it. It is a statement of excellent taste without compromising on modern amenities. Truly a feelgood vessel!
I love these refits of older yachts more than most modern stuff - when it's done as well as this! As usual another great tour Nick & I appreciate your reorientation for us - thank you.
How tastefully done, nice to know that there are owners that still love these older boats and don’t mind spending $$$ to keep history going. Nice to see all crew have their own cabins. As you very well know. The further out to see you go, the smaller the boat becomes. Now the Crew can hide undisturbed with a cuppa tea.
These classic yachts are utterly stunning and in a different league to the new modern boats in my humble opinion thanks for sharing Nick keep them coming please!
Oh my word Nick. Just when I think that you can't possibly show us anything better, you go and show us something better. I absolutely love this yacht. This has got to be the best interior layout that I have ever seen on any of your tours, I am in love. And the cherry on top, this is also the best crew area I've ever seen on any yacht that I can remember. This is how you treat your crew right. Thank you sir, you have given me something to dream of for the next few weeks.
I think it's the first time, when Nick entered the yacht that his voice dropped to hush tones .. in reverence to the beauty and quality and quietness of the yacht. Thanks for the video. lovely.
You really can't beat the classic style of that era of yacht. Fantasticly tastefull refit. Love the side drop to the tender, what a great way to come aboard.
Absolutely beautiful. Whoever was responsible for the design work for the refit did a fantastic job. As classics go, it is right there with a few of the classic Fedships.👍👏👏👏
I love these older boats. The class is way above more modern ones. If I was in the market for a superyacht, this one would be right at the top of my list. Great video Nick. Thanks
I always find older classic yacht’s fascinating, they’ve just got a look and I would guess feel of old world class about them. Really clever thoughtful update on this one, loved it, thanks for bringing us this one Nick
Beautiful ship! I was amused at 9:15 where you got embarrassed at calling the stairs a ladder - I was over 30 years in the navy, where all stairs in a ship are in fact called ladders. So in my mind you were actually correct 😉
Yeah, that really is a thing of beauty. You can really imagine yourself transported back in time but still enjoy the comforts (and safety) of today. Great yacht, great tour. Thanks!
The wood work on the stern is absolutely amazing. Never seen wood curved up into a 180 degree turn. This rebuild is superb. She may be almost 60 years old, but she looks like brand new. Thanks for this great tour.
Que the oodles of joy ,this is a proper wee ship a true Gentleman's Yacht of the old school brought tastefully and exquisitely up to date . I love the uppy downyness of the companionways . Finances permitting of course I wouldn't need a house I'd happily live on board this beauty . Once again Nick I salute you sir wonderfull video as always you do bring us avid fans some wonderfull things to behold . This one even had the added drama of a nearly tipping Maggie .
What a fabulous yacht! A true gentleman's motor yacht if ever there was one. Absolutely glorious: and the price! For what you get, It's real value for money. Excellent tour Nick, thank you
Your upper deck closing embraced the moment of this timeless ship.The original design compliments technical upgrades with ease Thank you for the tour Nick
The modern yachts you show us are all very clever and often quite spectacular. But you just can't beat a bit of class. This is the sort of boat a chap would be quite happy spending six months or more on board exploring the South Sea Islands with his gal and a few good chums.
Nick this is another one of the 'Miss Marples ' moments you'll meet coming out of the galley looking for the main murder culprit, a stunning refit on a classic yacht what a beauty and great crew quarter's thanks Nick.
Beautiful. That is a dream of a boat. The lines, the decor, the fittings, simply exquisite. My envy has just gone off the scale and your commentary and tour truly does it justice ❤️
Back to an era that appreciates the crew and rewards them with proper living quarters. Its the little things that go unnoticed, like all the proper knobs and handles instead of clicky push buttons and such. Atmosphere that's inviting rather than sterile executive suites. When oh when will designers begin to bring back the comfort and charm of a proper yacht.
Thank you for the tour Nick! This is a beautiful classic Benetti. Very nice. I think you & Marianne should sell the house & buy this yacht & cruise the world. 🙂
I can't believe you posted this video a year ago, and I'm just now seeing it for the first time. I am subscribed, but somehow this got passed me. I love it. It's old school class with enough modern upgrades to make it useable and comfortable. I was amazed at the size of the master cabin. Very good range also. That's a lot of yacht for the price. Thanks Nick.
What an amazing timeless classic yacht. Puts all the new sleek, and in my opinion, overdone “super yachts” to shame. Those yachts would be like being on cruise ship.. This yacht is a true boating and sea loving vessel. Tasteful and timeless. ❤️
Brilliant design, and super comfortable and cozy. The crew having single cabins is a great idea on a long range vessel. Stunning boat! You’re still the best person in the business doing this kind of content. Great job!
what a beautiful yacht - - - the crew get a lot of space/facilities and its not trying to accommodate "too many" guests so you get the feeling the guests will be looked after at the highest level - - - - l love it
Ive been watching this home boat shows with my phone for 3 months or more and 2 days ago i saw dr phill and realised how important you optical and hearing diet is. Thankyou boat builders world wide. Love helium water Canberra Australia.
Good sized BBQ and a really good crew area. I really respect both of those things. What a stunning boat, it's like stepping back in time. Wonderful!! :)
You were right Nick....I did enjoy this! So beautiful....its easy to forget that40 years ago, apart from Christina O, this would be as big as they came pretty much. So much more elegant from the 'willy waving' vast floating 'block of flats' modern superyachts. Yes there is less space due to the slimmer beam and lack of extra levels, but at least you feel as though you are actually in a boat, rather than a flash apartment. I love the canoe stern. Pendennis Yard, is something to be proud of...British boat building at its best. For me, this would be all the boat I would need 😎
If I had the money to choose, I'd buy an old one like this and refit it. They have so much more style than most of the more recent floating IKEA caravans.
I agree.
very well said
Love these older yachts as they have so much class. A separate and roomy crew quarters shows an appreciation for the crew. What a beauty!
I love that the crew gets a space to themselves at night.
I can tell you from experience that that makes a massive improvement to your time on-board.
Ää😊

The more modern the yacht, the greater the distance from class. This shows that the two can co-exist. Thanks Nick!

Oh Nick, this one of the classiest yachts you've offered up to us in a while. Like the kind of yacht you expect to me royalty aboard.
My new home! I can see naps on the fly bridge.
This is such a beautiful classic yacht. I would take this aesthetic over many modern yachts any day.

So far.
No pressure.
They don't build them like that anymore! Stunning! Another great tour from the legendary Nick ❤
Thank you! 🙂
Luxury, sumptuous, oozing pure pamperdness, quality beyond our wildest expectations - words cannot do this yacht justice.
A trip back in time, to a golden age of beauty in all things. Well done Nick, absolutely adore it.

After watch so many yachts review.
I can say i love this kind of yatch the most.
You can see a lot of heart and soul in this retrofit. Nice presentation. As old Obi-Wan Kenobi would say "An elegant ship for a more civilized age"
What a yacht, pure old time luxury and Nicks passion comes through.
Yeah, that really is a thing of beauty. You can really imagine yourself transported back in time but still enjoy the comforts (and safety) of today. Great yacht, great tour. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! 🙂
This one is magnificent! I don't comment much but when I do, is when I truly get amazed by those vessels. Incredible yacht
The wood work on the stern is absolutely amazing. Never seen wood curved up into a 180 degree turn. This rebuild is superb. She may be almost 60 years old, but she looks like brand new. Thanks for this great tour.

The owner is a true enthusiast of classic boating. Great refit and video.😊
What a lovely classic yacht. 5 single crew cabins? Wow, quite unbelievable. Great tour
This might be my all time favorite ! Of course an outstanding job by Nick
What a beautiful boat, the crew quarters were a nice surprise as well, great tour Nick.

What a gorgeous boat. Theres plenty of room to move and the crew gets good living space too. It seems so easy for everyone to move around.
Absolutely first-class refit work on this boat, yes. Thanks for the tour.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Real class of a yacht. Very impressed Nick with the merging of old and new. Even the crew are well looked after here. 1st class!
Beautiful yacht, interesting design, loved the M/B no wait, 2 toilets, the dumbwaiter system... Genius!
thanks again Nick for a wonderful tour, of absolute beauty. A superb meld of of old character combined with modern amenities.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Ladder is proper sea lingo for steps. Well done, Nick!
Possibly the most desirable vessel I've seen on your channel.
Your upper deck closing embraced the moment of this timeless ship.The original design compliments technical upgrades with ease

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I have seen most of your Aquaholic videos, and this is my favorite by far. This yacht moves me deeply. Thanks, Nick.
You're very welcome 🙂
The interior of this ship is nothing short of stunning
What an old beaty. And as usual you do a great job presenting it. Greetings from Trondheim,Norway.
Thank you! 🙂
Simply amazing and puts the new boats to the back when it comes to class
I think this is my favourite yacht so far. You are right when you say 'Pure class.'
MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE ❤️❤️❤️
Unquestionably one of your best videos, and BEST boats Nick ... too good for Monaco GP,
Thank You.
Thank you for watching! 🙂

What a timeless classic… it’s truly beautiful, really appreciate the thoughtful renovation… cheers Nick 👍

@@AQUAHOLIC The Butler ? I think in nautical terms it would be the Steward 😂😂
@@jimrodda 🤔
I’ve said it before but I really really mean it this time….this is the perfect blend of classic & modern, absolutely gorgeous yacht
This is a beautiful yacht. Just the teak finish alone was so amazing. Thanks for getting into this one, Nick. A superb video as usual.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I have been looking at this one for years. It's a beauty.
It's a very nice video you made of it.
Thank you very much!
That is old world class. First class.
And the price is very reasonable!
The nautical term is in fact “ladder”. I was impressed you finally said it.
"Aquatic work of art" Suits you sir!! Stunning!!!!!
Wow wow wow .... Its like a mini vintage style cruise ship. Absolutely stunning. Thank you nick!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

what a beauty! comes across as a proper small ship rather than a large motor boat
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I love the floor space in those twin guest cabins. Also this yacht is just classy, not showy, not opulent, just classy.
lovely indeed! i love the mix between the old and the new. I would never leave lol. thanks Nick and Marianne
