If I ever win the lottery, this guys helping me choose my yacht
In a time when not much news is good news, I can't even tell you how awesome it is when I get the notification of a new Aquaholic video! Thanks for keeping 256K of us going Nick!
Wow, thank you!
Hi Steve!
Couldn't agree more!
7m 36s, an absolute tease, thought we'd see what was under that hatch.
Had to listen to the hello a few times, seemed to have an additional 'w' in there. Yet they seemed very friendly !! 🤔🤣🤣🤣
Great tour Nick. Thank you xxxxx
Sorry I'm late, there was a 13-minute ad for the new Galeon 325 GTO and I couldn't tear my eyes away. Nick, that GTO has Smuggler's Blues 3 written all over it. What a boat. Alright, now this one - looks fantastic already!
That's interesting, was it ahead of this video?
Just had a quick look...325GTO, V nice & enough room for SB3 on the rear👍 ...this boat, not sure about the toe catcher galley unit on the way in!
@@AQUAHOLIC Yes, the clock struck 7am and I was patiently awaiting your video. As soon as I clicked, the GTO advert came up and I ended up watching the full 13 minutes. I've also seen Riva ads before your videos, can't pass those up, either. I think you'd really like that 325 GTO, though.
@@AQUAHOLIC Ha, I didn't realize I was signed in to my travel account. Now I can give you two thumbs up lol
@@chadrochelle1472 That's really interesting, thank you.
A Few Thoughts:
First and foremost, thank you Nick... A year ago my the extent of my "Naval Knowledge" was limited to belly buttons. I had to stop and concentrate on which side port and starboard were on, and 'tender' was the way you treated your lady. Now I think I'm a cross between Espen Oeino and Andrew Winch...! "Hi... I'm Dave, and I'm an Aquaholicholic."
The Hi-Lo platform is awesome. Seeing it in action is appreciated. Saying "This goes down like this..." holds nothing to seeing how it works first-hand, so to speak. (Pay particular attention to how wet the teak is in the beginning - then wait for the end!)
The Aft Cockpit design is cunning. Brilliant seating solution for a 52-footer. A true 'entertaining boat'.
And then you slide open the door (let's pretend it was closed), and it looks like the cabinetry installer was out to lunch and about to install the last overhead storage area...! What in the trailer trash hell is that? Setting a bottle of bubbly and two flutes on top doesn't distract from the 1/2" thick (THIIN) diminutive top, much less the awkward sharp corners, and general complete lack of style, ANY STYLE, whatsoever...! If you look closely @ 1:43ish, you see the Ikea barcode label in the bottom-right corner. Whoever approved that needs to be replaced...! By me. ;-)
The damnable shame that is that excuse of an 'Island' is the "eyesore before the main floor". The Main Saloon just wreaks of style! So spacious and gorgeous glazing!
Although the helm is obviously technically flawless and very maneuverable boat, the helms seating is admittedly wide, but it does not not look comfortable to sit at for any extended period of time.
Love the design of the VIP and twin cabins... Not one single surface with a fingerprint gathering glossy finish...! Brilliant. I'll let Prestige slide on no TV in the twin. The shower enclosure is sheer genius. Finally... A solution to eliminate the 'wet room' for every other builder to emulate. What good is a counter in the heads where everything on it has to be stowed just to take a shower...?!? It's the bane of my existence. Cocktail time...
I judge a Master Cabin by the quality/size of the A/V system, and for a 52-footer... Wow! An incredible cabin, for a boat on ANY size.
I can't imagine NOT having the Flybridge version... But - instead of the immense Bimini top, why not a sleek carbon fiber arch to accommodate radar/nav sats/etc.? Seems they missed out on a design opportunity there. More brilliant seating with the reversible backrest...! One would safely assume that if you had the means for this type of toy - you'd probably be fortuitous enough to have a delicious bit of eye candy to perch upon the sun lounger adjacent to the helm. Top marks!
That's one badass foredeck...! Simple yet useful. Flat sun pads and lounging areas always leave me scratching my yacht designing brain...
The engine area... They're 'getatable' alright. IF you're a midget...! C'mon Nick... Now granted, it's not like very many yacht owners are gonna whip out their toolkits and start spinning wrenches, but... There's a reason why top-notch marine mechanics make incredible money...! And I bet you'd pay extra to work on that beauty. You pull her into to the marina and thank Phillipe for 'taking care of everything'... Jump in the Porsche and go have dinner. Simple. @11:34... How costly would it be to have something a little less haphazard than the 'almost finished' appearance of the tender storage area above the engines?
If you happen to be in Brighton... Stop by and check out the rides at Tempest4cars. They've got a selection that covers a huge spectrum and price range. Check 'em out at www.tempest4cars.co.uk
Nick... Thanks for giving over a quarter million of us a new outlet for entertainment...! You rock sir. Cheers mate...!
You are the David Attenborough of yachts, in a very good way. You could give a tour of a soggy paper bag and make it seem amazing. Bravo!
You're very kind 🙂
Lovely thing, the galley island is a little odd though, I like the idea but it looks a little stuck on or temporary v's the quality of the rest of the boat
How many times are you going to jab your hip into one of those corners before you rip it out.
@@boxhawk5070 ONCE!
@@michiganengineer8621 Yep, Hulk smash!
@@boxhawk5070 I'd be worried about stubbing my toes when I go from the galley into the saloon area. I visited a friend who had a raised kitchen floor by two inches and I stubbed my toe really bad the first night I was there. I bled all over the floor while she was trying to find the first aid kit.
Yes, the galley seems like an accident waiting to happen. As does the ladder (if you can even call it that) leading down into the engine bay.
As a non-gymnast, I think you're being very generous with "get-at-able" on this one.
Even new engines can have problems and in a heavy swell, trying to work in a sardine can, you will really regret not opting for a crew cabin because you so comically thought it was like having s toilet on a pushbike.
@@noname-nd8ec wht makes you assume that anyone who buys that will regret not having crew , having crew is a fiancial burden many don't want .. unless you are a born lazy and have been silver spoon fed since you are born . used to having butlers servants doing everything for you .
I like these"smaller" yachts compared to the super yachts. They seem more relaxed and functional. Gives off more of home kind of feeling, cozy even.
Thanks for the tour, Nick.
No worries!
The more I watch your videos the more I want a boat. After lockdown I intend in visiting my local marina just to look at some.
Go for it! :)
Really nice craft Nick a lot of boat for her size and money great tour as always mate cheers 👍🇨🇦
Thanks 👍
Nick: wave to the guys as he climbs up the flybridge
Also Nick: "They'll never know I was here"
It may be my imagination but in every tour I've ever seen of a Prestige, the floor creaks.
what a shame great boat at a decent price lol for a boat in this category and its creaks every were all down to the design . and using wood underflooring instead of the hull structure being solid fiberglass including the floors
Pristige is a nice boat.
But they need to finally fix those squeaky floors. That should not be an issue on a boat this price range.
Maggie the baggie hanging out with her family, how nice :0)
This is a very good looking squeaky little yacht
Another little gem of a boat. I find myself running out of superblatives (if that is even a word) for a lot of these boats. Just love the craftsmanship that goes into them & the thought that goes into the use of space the designers must of played a lot of GameBoy Tetris back in the day. Really nice layout & pretty much perfect as a family boat. Especially like the full beam owner cabin towards the rear....
What an extremely high quality review!
With the cutaways showing the tender garage, the high-low platform submerged and its stairs popping into place, you're really showing us every possible thing we wanted to see (and I know that I and several others LOVE seeing every last bit of the boat).
Thank you, Nick!
Glad you liked it!
As always a great episode! I've developed an addiction to AQUAHOLIC, and my friends are wondering about my unprecedented knowledge in the world of Yatching! All thanks to you!
Wow it's amazing and spacious Nick Sir... Lot of space and modern stuffs... Literally it's stunning board... Even looking great Nick Sir.. God bless you..
Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I wish that island could unfold into something useful for informal eating/hanging out when weather is not so good. Like a proper kitchen island..
Quite nice. I do like how the main cabin is separated. The engines are a touch cramped, but considering there a tender garage above it some sacrifices are needed. Over all a really nice offering.
I usually really enjoy the SunSeekers and Princess models, but I must say this yacht is absolutely beautiful. All you’d need is a tender and a jet ski for fun and you’re all set.
What? I can't sleep and decided to check out You Tube. And here he is Nick, brightening up my early morning! Good morning from Seattle!
Good morning Seattle!
Lovely, another quick video before bed!
Keep well nick
Fantastic looking boat.
Great tour as always! I so look forward to your uploads. They do make lockdown more bearable!
Glad you like them!
lovely lovely tour ,great presentation.
I really appreciate Prestige the 50-52 line as they are so practical in my opinion and versatile and great ergonomics.
Hope to see more of them in your channel especially the pre-owned ones as they are more affordable to purchase!
thanks again for the lovely video
cheers
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tour, thanks Nick. These are lovely boats and whilst not quite at the quality of the F50 they certainly rival it for space and design
The 500s or 520s are on my wish list. Fantastic value for money and so much space for the size.
Great tour as always Nick, thank you 👍
Thanks for watching!
Wow nice looking boat.
I love how functional they make the cabins with such limited space.
There’s a lot to like on this one, I really like the layout of the flybridge, and I love the separate Master. I’d probably go for the crew cabin, to clear up space in the engine room myself. The general layout of the boat is great. Of course it’s better because of the top quality Aquaholic Tour. Very nice boat.
Actually smitten by this, great family boat with room for another couple to stay as well. Some very clever features and a fantastic well thought out boat.
Great tour as always Nick 🙌👍🏻
One real good smaller Boat, i like it. Sleeps 6, 2 Heads are enough, Tendergarage and a Flybridge. Fits all my Needs. We say here: Passt, wackelt und hat Luft.
Either you’ve gone somewhere nice & hot Nick or you’ve had this on the cutting room floor! 😂 Lovely boat, that separate owner cabin access is a bit special & lovely cabin too. I think Prestige are giving Princess & Sunseeker a run for their money! 😎👋🏻
I filmed this one in September 🙂
Really like the layout out of this Prestige.
Amazed at the usefulness of every inch. I know that’s a good amount of money, but all that in 52 feet. Pretty sweet thing to be floatin’ around in! Great vid as usual. Look forward to them
When the only comment I have about a 52ft yacht is that I would like more cupholders in the flybridge you are doing stuff right. Really nice complete boat and a fair price. I wouldn't mind crossing the channel with this one. Great stuff @Nick, Aquaholic 💯
Nice one Nick you never disappoint. Nice to have some more fairlines on the channel!!
The highlight of my Friday mornings is watching a new Aquaholic video while enjoying my morning coffee. Nice boat, but those squeaky floors seem out of place on a boat at this price
Comprehensive tour Nick as always.With Prestige you always seem to get squeaky floors that would annoy the hell out of me especially on a new build.Their interiors are okay but a bit MFI
Is that really an island, looks like a unit waiting to be fixed.
Would be better if it was on a track so it could be moved when the kitchen was not being used
It does serve as storage, on the kitchen side there are storage draws and cupboards.
@@rogerathome6980 would be better if it was sent back to Ikea...!
I don't know if it could possibly be any clunkier or awkward or ugly...
Very nice boat, thank you for showing us.
Thanks for watching!
I remember really liking the “s” version of this and I do like the owners cabin at the rear! Brilliant stuff Nick!
Nice boat. Always enjoy your little wave in the mirror :-)
Nick, bow thruster with ips drives adds the station-keeping capability to function better.
I think I would get the crew quarters but left as storage instead of the tender garage. That should give more headroom in the engine compartment as well as give you storage for bulkier items.
With cradles on the high-low platform to store the tender you don't sacrifice anything but an empty swim platform.
Again you bring your A game, this is another excellent tour of a lovely boat.
Thank you. Take care and stay safe. 👍👍👍⛴🛳☠🛥🚤🏴☠️⛵🚢⚓😎
Glad you enjoyed it
My favourite yacht reviewer :)
Just one thing:
It would be nice if you can show us yourself standing in the different areas of the yachts (specially in the cabins). Just to get an impression of the head space. Iam 6.5 tall and I don't want to dream of the wrong yacht xD
Best regards Philipp
Very nice boat & very well displayed ,
It’s very nice to see some of the space usability solutions on your channel, like that master wardrobe for example. Would prove quite useful in a regular home, I imagine.
Love you Aquaholic,!! From Aussie😉
well priced boat.. princess should take note
Love this! Did a small tour on my channel as well, so I got to see it up close. You’re so great at this. Thank you 👍
Im watching these again because I’m dreaming of warmer weather. Its getting down to -10 Fahrenheit with -30 windchill in oklahoma.
Ouch! ❄️
Pretty nice boat for the Med or any sort of place with pleasant weather! I like the tender garage on this one as well as the usual Prestige amenities. She looks like a great owners' boat to drive too!
seems like a good value boat for the price
Ooooo that puppy ticks a lot of boxes for me.
Hi Nick. Im a big fan of flybridge boats. This is nice and in the range of many others brands for the same price. Still. . . A great walkthrough tour thanks 😊
Stunning
Different world
Nice boat but for the price the creaky cabin floors are not acceptable.
Thought it was Nicks knees
@@seightwesty Maybe you are right 😊
@@seightwesty i hope not for nick
French Boatbuilding at its best. Although I re watched Nick reviewing a san Lorenzo 122 (AWOL) yesterday and it had creaky floors also. Generally your Taiwan boats do not have this problem.
@@seightwesty this comment just hit my laugh button and I can't stop. Thank you for a much needed laugh!!!
Wonderful boat and was enjoying the passenger areas but the mechanical room was quite cramped and I am sure they would charge extra at the marina for the special height appropriate mechanics to work in the small space.
Nicely paced
Amazing boat.
Amazing tour nick,haven’t been able to watch your videos lately so watching them all now!😁
Welcome back!
A great entertaining platform, particularly like the layout with separate stairs to master cabin. Nice tour as always Nick
Glad you enjoyed it
The closest I'll get to owning a prestige is the one of the tote bags
They are 4k a pop.
@@robertorourke7753 If it has a heads compartment, I'll take 2.
@@Ob1sdarkside any bag is a heads once
@@WOOTIMSOAWESOME1111 Twice if you turn it inside out. Jack and Jill heads.
Terrific boat. Particularly like the separate midship owners cabin.
Interesting layout with the separate master cabin. Really nice solutions on space saving, but felt a bit cramped on the interior for the size. Looks really good, though! The garage is a very nice addition! Great boat overall. Thanks for the tour! Cheers!
If you had a brother or cousin and they did reviews on RVs instead of boats id be screwed because of the amount of time id spend watching the two
Thanks Nick, another lovely boat
What a great boat especially for the price if you have the money of course, but I would imagine that size of boat and finish in Princess, Fairline or Sunseeker would be sub a £1m. Great Review Nick 👍
Missed a design idea with that island. Should've made it movable on a swivel so it could be used as proper serving bar for the back social area. It looks like it's an after thought or a piece of storage that they've forgot to fit. Nice piece of kit though.
I really want to know more about the bluegame bgx70 because the reviews on UA-cam aren't as good as yours. Thank you!
Looking very very nice.
i really like the shower doors and master closet setup. really neat idea. good vid
Glad you enjoyed it
A nice boat 😁
Appreciate those corridors to the cabins are narrow but if that were my boat I’d insist on a hand rail going down to the fore and aft cabins
Brilliant as usual Nick. Great boat. A lot packed into that one. Watching this only delayed my preparing dinner though.
Bon appetit!
Great tour as always Nick. You often talk about tenders and ribs, especially William's. Could you arrange a few combined ones so we can see what's on offer when looking at larger yachts.
I know nothing of sailing, yachting/marine travel, or boats in general. I can't afford the lot of these vessels. Yet.....here I am 😂 watching every video Nick throws at me.
Thanks for watching!
Black water? A testament to the brilliance of the english language.
Hi Nick. After viewing the Prestige 520 F-Line, I stumbled onto the prestige 36. That looks like a sharp little vessel. First Flybridge of the Prestige line. With modernization, I bet it would be incredible to own one. It would be neat to see one
Hi Nick and another great video nice one
Glad you enjoyed it
Very cool boat! Thanks for the tour!
Side note: I can’t understand carpeting in yachts, haha
Thanks 🙋♂️🇹🇷
High Nick, I wonder if your series could include
some lower end affordable boats say like yours
even, just for you to show us boats that an average
lay person may be interested in, say up to $50,000
or so, thanks and keep up the great work 👍👍👍👍
I Still think when I win the lottery, it will be a galeon 510 skydeck, but still a very nice boat. I remember picking up my new fiesta zetec S and been mega excited, just imagine going to collect your new yachts... oneday David oneday...😀🤗🥂
Nice car!
One of the things I like about these videos is seeing the innovative ways boat builders use the space. Love the shower on this one.
Just one question: Why are you in shorts? It's the middle of winter - even in the South West.
😂🤣 I'm only guessing but it may be something to do with the magic of recording something and then playing it back at a later date, I'm only guessing though, it may turn out that Nick is just feeling very hot.😁👍
Did anyone notice how bad this thing squeaked as he walked around?
Floors really should not be squeaking in a boat of £860 000. Also that galley island is horrendous. I like the boat tho. Nice layout
Sadly, you can expect that with Prestige build quality. Whatch the other Prestige boats and it's the same.
Almost everybody noticed it 🤣
WOW, how nifty was that foot work around the swim platform👏 🤯👍, back flip off the flybridge to the cockpit sunpad next time please 🙏❤️.
That was a great boat to show us Nick, everything you could want at a great price 👍.
If it's ok with you I would like to continue to imagine that's how you always greet the Ancaster guys when you see them 😁.
Visited the Dart today, lovely breeze coming in the mouth lol.
All the best boss 👍❤️🇬🇧
Yes be careful with those scatter cushions Nick - that’s three grands worth of designer chic based on one of you “meet the owners” videos!🤠
Nick -once again - fab presentation - please keep them coming - help so much with lockdown and when we are released please do more trips with Greg & Sally - do you ever go Exmouth way ?
Also - pod drives with bow thruster - necessary or overkill?
Yes, check out 'AQUAHOLIC Exeter Ship Canal' on UA-cam
Some of the criticisms seem harsh considering the sub 1m price point this boat is at, it seems to have a lot of the good features of much more expensive boats, I'd like to see the "S".
Great tour covering all the essentials. Nice yacht, though and you can drive the price even much higher depending on your option desires. Fantastic and USP is the tender garage option. See only one issue with this boat, its range is below the 200 miles. This is significantly less than with many other producers and keeps the owner in constant fuel anxiety when cruising.
Thats a nice boat. About the Stereo systems and infotainment. Any chance of a demo of some of the more spicy ones?
I suspect they'd sound suspiciously like your computer speakers..!
- 10 C here today, wistfully thinking of short sleeves days
-20 C here, and that's the best in a week!! Alberta, gotta love it. :)
@@kingdavid7571 honestly Banff in winter is on my bucket list!
How weird, just looking at this boat online, notice a you tube notification and its this exact boat being reviewed , how bizarre. Taken up mind reading have you Nick and you didn't even know it.... :)
Great video btw.
Lovely.
I often wonder why the owners need a house when you have a floating house.
Somewhere to park the Ferrari?
