Absolutely great great video....one of the best in this channel loved the commentary during the voyage loved the passage planning exceplination loved entering the marina and mooring footages loved the casting off footages. Great family gathering and team work. Loved it all ….more please of such video as it brings more life to the channel keep them coming please stay safe 👍👍👍
Fantastic movie! Thank you James and family for sharing! I especially liked the bit in the middle of the sea with no people around, no boats, no land, no noise..... oh hang on.... lol
When you stopped between the islands I was pretty sure you were going to pretend that the engines wouldn't start again. You probably thought a divorce would be too costly.😂
That stop in the middle of the sea is exactly what I've thought about doing if I had a boat like this. I'd make a cup of coffee and enjoy the silence up on a flybridge. Fantastic footage, thank you so much for this segment. That horn scared the shit out of me though
Superb! As a dad of two sons and a daughter and intending to buy a 52 in two years this was fantastic! Thanks for sharing your holiday - sensed your frustration with your lads when mooring 😂 inspiring indeed, having lost most of my saved boat deposit 18 months ago due to lockdowns, this video has kept the motivation strong to keep rebuilding it. Thanks
I like the other young lad I think max he seems very interested and listen to instructions by his dad. Unlike jack he seems not bothered. Lovely Family.. Great video again
What a fantastic video sorry mini movie this was fun and informative had great views a excellent cast and was just a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing James and family
Best ever music for this video, great fun and inspiration, I have a Targa 47 2009 and can confirm the build quality, keep them coming, love your family!
Very enjoyable video. Props to you for leaving all the bloopers in. Lost count how many times I had to adjust volume 😉Walked by your start berth in Cala D'or just a few weeks ago. I saw that you added Parker to your brand portfolio - I'm sure this has nothing to do with me inquiring about/recommending them below one of your videos a few months back 😋Looking forward to an honest review of the 850 Voyager, seems such good value for the money.
James - you are SO funny. This needs to be your real job - boating documentaries!!! BTW - I love that you show the sh1t that goes wrong or when things aren't perfect. The rest of the industry sells this "perfect yachting" image....BUT IT ISN'T 😂. Tim (your friend in Tierra Verde, Florida who is now considering a Fairline 50 because of you lol)
What a joy it is to have found your channel. I've never owned a yacht, but if I do win the lottery I'll be straight down the road from north Essex to see you. 😁
Great video .. loved seeing Santa Eulària where we spend a lot of time… we love watching the boats entering the marina at CBBC restaurant next to where you fuelled up . Thanks again 👍
One of the best blogs Ive seen for boating. Love it and love Mallorca though having lived in Alcudia a long time ago, I was disapointed you didn't visit. I also went to a resort in Cala pi which is also a lovely place. Great info, great to see what it's like to see no land or people. I like space so would prefer to do that on a princess MY85 but was impressed a much smaller boat could handle it very well. I now live in the Philippines so if I ever get a boat I would travel around many islands here. Can honestly say you and Nick Brennan are my favorite bloggers for fun, info and actual trips. The sunseeker guy is great also and a close 3rd. Thanks to you and the family, great to see you all enjoying yourselves, take care.
Thank you James and family! Thoroughly enjoyed watching your boating holiday, and agree with other comments to please make more! One small tip from a yachtsman, when mooring I (or the crew) use a boat hook to bring the bow line to the bow cleat, they can be VERY nasty, using the boat hook is almost hands free. Great to see the entire family enjoying the experience 😎 PS. Lots of giggles at all the 'support and production staff' names, awesome 😂
Great video James, loved it. Speaking of "anchor" alerts I'm sure yours must have gone off when we met in the Southampton pub the other week! Apologies for interrupting your meal, our group had been there a while and had a few too many 🍻
Great little film. You seem like a switched on bloke with a great sense of humour. Loved the witty commentary and music 😂 Thanks for sharing your family’s adventures.😎✌️
Thanks for taking me on holiday James. I really enjoyed that. Very interesting. Great way to take darling wifey and family on holiday, even if they have to work a little but, let’s face it, not much...on a luxury boat in The Balearics. You certainly need to be prepared to spend quite a bit on fuel and berth fees, if moving about. One thing I wasn’t sure about JB, did you hire that boat? - it seemed like it, from the state of some of the gear and the sign that the boys had to bend up out of the way when docking. If so, could we get an idea of the costs associated with that too. And, as a boat expert, can you tell me what that flybridge boat is at 23.31 please? Sunseeker? It’s a beauty!! My kind of boat, that is! Cheers. Best regards from the Giant’s Causeway Coast of Northern Ireland. 😀👍☘️
Great stuff James! Did a similar trip with my family a couple of years back albeit a bit more sedately sailing but as you say these trips are memorable.
Best video trip I’ve seen , you need to do more , me and the wife would love to get to Ibiza from torrevieja with our boat but at 30 foot I think we’re a bit too small , I think we will stick with Tabarca 😊😊
Thanks so much for Sharing ! family is wonderful too- Lovely! Love the music great touch. It was great to get a glimpse of an actual boat trip - start to finish. I had some good laughs along the movie - my family is the same size and reminds me of ours ha ha! Mrs B has more patience the my wife - the anchor scene she would definitely be short on patience ha ha! Fairlane great boat - Loved the film!! Cheers! Your movies are the best👍 love the British humor / commentary!
Great trip, typically the kids don't seam interested even tho they are on a fantastic holiday. I could feel the pain with that slick! Stern too mooring haha.
Good fun to 'join the family vacation' James. And good memories for us, too. We anchored off the Spanish fire fighting flight school at one stop, and they were having family day for the air crews. Took them all out in a boat, then rather than 'bombing' (doing a water drop) as a demo for the family members, the pilot bombed them all instead. Great fun!
You can hire small boats in Calador, Mallorca for short family trips for just a few hundred euros - it can start to give you a flavour of boating for an economical price.
James you are an absolute star. Loved your commentary throughout. You are a natural presenter. We are just at the start of our researching journey when it comes to all things motor cruising. Hoping to buy a used boat sometime in the not too distant future. Between 38 and 45 foot ideally. Really liking the Fairline. Haven't made mind up about having Flybridge or not at the moment. Like decent shady areas. Will definitely be making a note of your company with a view to contacting you. In the meantime, Happy Boaty Boating xx
Loved this James , great family holiday , poor ol Mrs b looked a bit green with that mooring , bet it was all your fault m8 !!Typical !! , like my Mrs sais , your always in the s### it's just the depth that varies lol, love the GET THE FENDERS IN ....... as the Targa goes it looks so small for a 50ft boat , defo go for the galeon 500 , ty for posting brilliant 👏 😀
Watched it twice, really enjoyed it as we plan to get a boat of that size in the med sometimes. Inspiring! Please share more about costs of owning a boat in the med
You inspired me to buy a Fairline Squadron 59 based in Corfu. I hope it would get a thumbs up from you. I have little kids and plan to have them live on the boat in the summers.
Great video and a bit of a laugh too. I thought you would go over the side from the shock when you stood on the horn . Strange that you'd need to stand up on the dash to run the bilge pump, I wonder why they put it there, I'd have words with them .😂 More videos please , the telly is pretty crap these days.
Absolutely great great video....one of the best in this channel
loved the commentary during the voyage
loved the passage planning exceplination
loved entering the marina and mooring footages
loved the casting off footages.
Great family gathering and team work.
Loved it all ….more please of such video as it brings more life to the channel
keep them coming please
stay safe
👍👍👍
Ah thanks Trade wind ! Lovely comments like yours make all the filming and editing of our trips worthwhile 🙏
Fantastic movie! Thank you James and family for sharing! I especially liked the bit in the middle of the sea with no people around, no boats, no land, no noise..... oh hang on.... lol
I’ve got earphones on watching this….I nearly #@%t myself when you stood on the horn😂😂😂
So did I 😂
me too
When you stopped between the islands I was pretty sure you were going to pretend that the engines wouldn't start again. You probably thought a divorce would be too costly.😂
😂😂
"Don't rush" (tying up boat). Sounds just like my dad sitting on his jacksie while I'm toiling away 🤣🤣🤣
I think this video finally convinced my wife that we need a bigger boat! Congrats to me. Thanks for the help James, LOL
I will sell you the bigger boat 😂
Watched this a couple of times now and full credit and respect for showing real life boating
That stop in the middle of the sea is exactly what I've thought about doing if I had a boat like this. I'd make a cup of coffee and enjoy the silence up on a flybridge. Fantastic footage, thank you so much for this segment. That horn scared the shit out of me though
😂
I think the fuel was a bargain compared to that restaurant bill! Great video. Your family were great! 😊
You are right ! 😂
Just Great James thank you for sharing your realistic holiday boating experience as you say warts and all! very entertaining!
I love James series of videos. We had discounted Fairline due to age…until we stumbled on these. Now we have a an open mind. Thank you!
They are great boats David 👌
No shouting, brilliant! I thought I would watch this and think it would be another look at me video, but what a wonderful trip it was. Great fun.
Thank you for showing us the brutal reality of chartering a boat.
At least you had a great crew!
Superb! As a dad of two sons and a daughter and intending to buy a 52 in two years this was fantastic! Thanks for sharing your holiday - sensed your frustration with your lads when mooring 😂 inspiring indeed, having lost most of my saved boat deposit 18 months ago due to lockdowns, this video has kept the motivation strong to keep rebuilding it. Thanks
Ah - keep working towards a trip like this - it’s good fun 🎉
I really enjoy watching James present. He crack me up. Hope I’m Lucky enough to meet him one day, or even better buy a boat from him. Legend
Ah thanks Tom. We are all working at the Southampton show this September 😎
I totally agree Tom. James puts a smile on my face every time. If I ever get to the point of buying a boat, he’s the first person I’m going to see.
11:30 sealed my love for your genuine self, your comedy and originality. You are a excellent.
I like the other young lad I think max he seems very interested and listen to instructions by his dad. Unlike jack he seems not bothered. Lovely Family.. Great video again
@@derosime true 😂
I totally love your videos! So inspiring!
You’re national tv material! Serious and fun in an extrordinary combination!
Cheers from Sweden!

😂
Great video, really enjoyed being along for the trip!
Love it, well done Family Barke! Look forward to seeing more of your adventures 👍🏼👏🏼👌🏼🛥🛥🛥
Famous yachting phrase:-
“Those back ropes”
😂
Great video, lots of insight! 👍👍👍
Totally agree re: anchoring.
I tried to like anchoring - but I can’t 😂
"slick operation" love the humor, seems like a great trip 👍
This video convinced me more than ever, that when I come to buy a boat, it’ll be with sails.
We sell those too !
Thanks for sharing!
Always enjoy having a laugh at your open videos. 👍🏻
Very entertaining video. Lampoon Vacation theme was a winner!
Awesome. Make more videos like this please😊. It was like watching a movie.
another informative video from the great james Barke (and family),sailing in the balerics on a wonderful Fairline Targa 52 GT,
Hi James
Loved your video, thanks for sharing your family holiday with us it looked a lot of fun .
😁👍👌
Thank you for sharing your holiday with us, it looked like a glorious trip.
James, entertaining and informative. Loved the warts and all approach - everyone makes them.
You should do more videos like this, amazing. You’re a natural Clark Griswald
😂
Great video james without doubt one of the best around boat around,
What a fantastic video sorry mini movie this was fun and informative had great views a excellent cast and was just a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing James and family
Ah thanks Kevin 🎉
great video, love the music and great watching you drive a boat and seeing you with your family
Best ever music for this video, great fun and inspiration, I have a Targa 47 2009 and can confirm the build quality, keep them coming, love your family!
T47 is a winner !
what a great trip all the years i have been in majorca i haven't seen such great water .
what a great crew you have as well.
It was so calm
Greetings James
What a lovely trip. You have a marvelous family. I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves.
Awesome vid 👌
Cheers
Been on the pick so many times and looked just like that in the morning...😀
Very enjoyable video. Props to you for leaving all the bloopers in. Lost count how many times I had to adjust volume 😉Walked by your start berth in Cala D'or just a few weeks ago.
I saw that you added Parker to your brand portfolio - I'm sure this has nothing to do with me inquiring about/recommending them below one of your videos a few months back 😋Looking forward to an honest review of the 850 Voyager, seems such good value for the money.
I often wondered why people have kids..... now I know....to tie up the boat! Thanks James.!
They finally become useful about 12 years old 😂
Loved this James,
Mr & Mrs B with the little B’s on holiday 👍🏻
Yes little B’s 😂
James - you are SO funny. This needs to be your real job - boating documentaries!!! BTW - I love that you show the sh1t that goes wrong or when things aren't perfect. The rest of the industry sells this "perfect yachting" image....BUT IT ISN'T 😂. Tim (your friend in Tierra Verde, Florida who is now considering a Fairline 50 because of you lol)
Thanks Tim 🎉
Great video James, very addictive watching, please keep them coming you are an inspiration to anyone worried that they couldn't do this.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😉👍
It’s super easy and fun 🤩
What a joy it is to have found your channel. I've never owned a yacht, but if I do win the lottery I'll be straight down the road from north Essex to see you. 😁

Was a great video mate! Enjoyed it thoroughly...."warts an' all' 😉
Brilliant video James. I hope you make more soon..
This was a great video. Really interesting cruise and love your dry humour. Definitely one to consider when I can afford a boat 🛥️
Nice one James and family...cant wait for the next one..
Excellent and honest review James
Epic video, it reminded me of my personal experiences when I had my boat years ago.
Respect and love from Taiwan.

Awesome trip James very envious 😁. We're in Cala d'Or in 4 weeks for a family holiday. Plan to have a walk round the Marina and check out the boats
Lovely place 😎
Brilliant video. Would love to do that trip. Thanks for sharing your family hols with us 😀
It’s highly recommended Steve 👍🏻
Great video James, loved it. Speaking of "anchor" alerts I'm sure yours must have gone off when we met in the Southampton pub the other week! Apologies for interrupting your meal, our group had been there a while and had a few too many 🍻
It was a pleasure and thank you for the beers 🎉
what a great video. thanks for uploading

We have a sales yard in Mallorca so this was one of our stock boats prior to preparation hence a few things needed fixing 😁
Great stuff James!
Did a similar trip with my family a couple of years back albeit a bit more sedately sailing but as you say these trips are memorable.
They are fun and exhausting 😂
GreT Video , I really enjoyed it, nice to see a review of a boat in use, as we say in Wales Da Iawn 👍👍
Best video trip I’ve seen , you need to do more , me and the wife would love to get to Ibiza from torrevieja with our boat but at 30 foot I think we’re a bit too small , I think we will stick with Tabarca 😊😊
Pick a good day and go for it! I remember someone went round the uk in a hardy 18 !
Lovely trip James can I come next one I’ll do the anchor and wash the decks. 😂😂😂😂
👍🏻

Really enjoyed that keep up the good work James
Great trip, typically the kids don't seam interested even tho they are on a fantastic holiday. I could feel the pain with that slick! Stern too mooring haha.
I don’t think they like Dad filming 😂
Especially Mrs B
Great video...looks like you had a fabulous time 😊
Love it. Thanks for sharing mate.
Just brilliant
Informative,Fun, and dangerous in places this movie had it all 5*
Ah thanks Des !
Really enjoyed that .... looking forward to more ... keep it up jb
Great video! This video might get my wife onboard boats. If she see that the kids are working she will be happy :)
We have lots of boats she will like Stefan 🎉

7:16 RIP my ears wearing headphones. Proper flinched 🤣
Great take, to what we all aspire to.
You can hire small boats in Calador, Mallorca for short family trips for just a few hundred euros - it can start to give you a flavour of boating for an economical price.
Different class!!
Great video James, getting better every time. 😉😉

Such a wonderful video .
Love Cala D’Or. Walked round the marina many a time.
Absolute quality. I love the random phrases such as… Here is the CD player, but it doesn’t work ha ha
It’s true 😂
Uwww YES .. we'll be doing it mate ... Great tour and so great to see a bloke as considerably richer than most .. use a humble boat ..👍😂🏴
T52 is a great boat 😊
@@Boatscouk yes .. but I like an upstairs too mush 😁👍🏴
Really enjoyed this, very relatable!
Fantastic video. Very inspiring.
