- Happy Sunday Funday!
With Christmas right around the corner, and Shawn nearly impossible to shop for, I'm thankful for Seattle Yachts International for making my life MUCH EASIER this holiday season. Thanks to Martin, Ed and the entire team over at Seattle Yachts, I was able to gift Shawn a YACHT for Christmas this year! Well, kind of. I was able to gift him a tour of Seattle's coolest yacht moored right in our home marina here at Shilshole Bay in Seattle. And to pay it forward, Shawn is giving you all a full walk-through tour of Hokulani, a 68' Nordhavn!
And BTW...this beautiful vessel is currently listed for sale by Seattle Yachts. If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about her, contact Martin at Seattle Yachts:

I'm not knocking the different styles of people that review boats, but it was great to get a tour from a person that has a boat and knows what he's talking about. Some people get excited by the galley, or the cabins, or the speed etc...Shawn did a great job and stopped and explained everything I'd be interested in if I was there. Outstanding. Can I give this a 5 star review or just 1 thumb up. Thanks.
Yes! This is by far one of the best tours I’ve ever seen and heard.
this is really the nicest of the Nordhavns for personal cruising. Would love to take it around the world.
Happy that this video popped up in my YT feed today. Sean, you did a masterful job showing off Hokulani and all her systems and comforts. Nicely done!
I would be enjoying the finest Kraft Mac and cheese. The rest of my money is in the fuel tanks!! Great tour from the commentator and camera crew.
I loved watching this tour. Thank you for bringing us along. I also loved how Shawn referred to everything as "our" by the time the you got to the wheelhouse. Our navigation system, etc. You can tell he really liked the boat.
Hello Allen how are you doing today
You did it, Shawn will be dreaming of the 68' for years. How many hours did he go through to prepare for the tour ? ... He was so excited to open the engine room door for us. Get him a one night stay in that engine room and he would be happy. Even his voice was so excited to to talk about the systems ....
... don't be jealous, he Loves You too
Not many, maybe 1! But he’s been keeping up on Nordhavn’s for nearly a decade and seems to remember a LOT when it comes to boats!
Thank you very much for this great tour. I wish that Shawn would do more tours of this kind whenever they meet other interesting boats and ships. Beside Aquaholic, Elisabeth and Shawn giving the most informative and interesting tours and videos. This videos are done with passion and professionalism and attention to detail. And that all in a real stunning audio and visual quality on land, from air and at sea. I would like to thank you both and a lot and wish you, as we say at the german coast: Always a hand's beaths of water under the keel.
Wow thank you so much!
I really appreciated how Shawn lights up when he gets into the engine room...I agree...the most awesome part of this awesome yacht. Way better tour here than any tour I've watched when it's given by a sales person.
Hello mark how are you doing today
Up until today Nick from Aquaholic was my favorite for yacht walk through. Shawn has even surpassed him in my opinion. This has to be the best walk through I've seen to date. Nordhavn should consider Shawn for all their marketing videos. Well done.
Difficult to choose today; Nick just put up a video with a Fleming 65. No hot tub though ;-)
Shaun did a great job. When someone has specifics on the brand of the retractable power cord reel you know he knows his stuff.
@@Orchardman53 have you seen the "Fleming 65" travel series by Tony Fleming? It's amazing.
I want that boat! Shawn did an OUTSTANDING job of showing her off!
Hello Peter how are you doing today
@@amandajames4914 hello Amanda. Wer r u from?? And what you do? Wish we can friends and get to know each other.
@@rahulkrish9840 Oh that’s nice of you my friend. I’m from California and you we can chat more better in WhatsApp. Have you heard about Forex trading
You did a far better job than many of the professional boat tour people. I liked how you spliced the transition from space to space rather than walking around with the camera.
Nordhavn is my favorite. Your hubby did not give a mileage range. Excellent presentation. His knowledge is invaluable
Hello Samantha how are you doing today
That’s the most relaxed and humorous I’ve seen Shawn! He always seemed so serious! Good job! 👍
Cameras seem to make him serious 😉
Not only is this boat a little special (with most everything I would want) but your presentation is both knowledgeable and charming at once.
A supply of 10mm sockets is always a good gift!
A much better video presentation than most boat brokers. Nice job. Wish more of them would be this thorough!!
Shawn did a great job showcasing this boat..
Great tour Captain you should be a salesperson for the Boat Company thank you for a really great detailed tour
he did a great job
Hello joe how are you doing today
Great video guys and a great boat, Dan Streech better watch out or Shawn will have his job presenting their boat tour videos.
Hello Richard how are you doing today
If Captain Steve ever takes some time off, he should call Shawn to stand in for him. Well done tour.
Hello Dave how are you doing today
Love it when Shawn gets a chance to nerd out.
Shaun I have watched quite a few boat tours on UA-cam. Would like to compliment you on doing a great your. Informative yet not too technical and even using correct nautical terms. Well done.
That was a wonderful tour! Thank you so much! Yes more boat tours!
I’d enjoy a rare rib eye with large shrimp and a delicious white sangria!
Merry Christmas to you both!!!
Hello Amy how are you doing today
Best walk through video yet. Shawn gives you just enough information and explanation to help you connect with the vessel. Helpful, useful and a delight.
Lovely tour!!! Greit job there!
On a boat like this you have to eat fish that you catch yourself.
Thanks for a good work, both of you. It makes this boring december easyer to manage here in Sweden.
Hello Anders how are you doing today
This was a fabulous tour. I love the interior and remember this boat when it was San Souci.Sitting in the empty hot tub was too funny.
Hello veanne how are you doing today
Great tour and wonderful filming very professional!
Wow, that was a lot more than a tour. That was a nicely done sales promotion. You two should get a commission if it sells.
We were just happy to get to spend a day on board!
Well.... Besides you two being a beautiful couple, and presenting a variety of good videos, you Shawn will make other UA-camrs shake .... as you presented this gorgeous vessel in a very professional manner, and it was informative and well directed (Elisabeth) - Thank you
Very comprehensive walkthough. It seems that Shawn was quite happy with his X-mas gift.
There would be no tv or internet on this boat if I owned it, this boat is a chance to experience life as it was intended.
This has been the best walkthrough I have seen, relaxed but informative. Unlike other walkthroughs there is the underlying 'sales' function. This video is a Captain showing what is really important to him and a user without the fluff involved in a sales pitch. Well done guys and I hope that Nordhavn shows you some gratitude. ;-)
Best Nordhavn ever and one of the best yacht videos made. Full side decks are a must in my opinion. Meal should be Cucumber sandwich appetizers, baked Fillet of Sole main course with a nice moscato and Tiramisu served with Espresso for dessert.
Excellent tour. I can picture you two owning that beautiful ship.
I love watching yacht tours on UA-cam.
Hello Melissa how are you doing today
Great job as a tour guide.
Superb walk through tour!.....More boat tours of cool boats like this would be a great addition to the channel. You guys are really good at them!
You did a terrific job on that boat tour. I'm sure the owner and broker loved it. I'm amazed at how much you knew and/or had to learn to do such a professional job. Elizabeth may have secretly bought it for you but you won't know for sure until Christmas.
He’s been geeking out over Nordhavn’s for years so he was finally able to share some of his knowledge 👍
I think the 68 is the best looking model in the Nordhavn line. Like it without a flybridge though. It would seem less top heavy.
Wow that is a incredible yacht! Great job with the walk thru, you can tell you out a lot of time into it. Awesome present for the captain for sure!
Wow, this week’s video’s is another vicarious delight. I enjoyed touring this boat almost as much as Sean did as he explained every feature. Knowing how much Sean works on his smaller boat made me think that if you could afford to buy this boat, you could and should afford a paid crew - maybe a married couple for an Engineer/2nd Mate and a Cook/Maid.
Shawn, you missed two of the benefits of wet exhaust, 1) With the exhaust being pointed out and down near the waterline, the soot and fumes have no impact on the outdoor spaces on board. 2) The wet exhaust systems actually mean the engines do not need DPF or DEF systems, the raw water being introduced to the exhaust gases actually does the same as either system. The 3rd and possibly the biggest benefit, you don't have as much cleaning to do on the upper decks from the exhaust.
Something most people miss about wet exhaust, the gases are food for the plankton in the sea water, by dumping it right above the water it helps the plankton feed and produce oxygen.
I'm not a fan of the big empty fore-deck space, I would rather see the superstructure extending there making a larger boat deck possible aft of the flying bridge.
Hello Jaqui how are you doing today
You guys need to do more boat reviews because your really good at it......
Spending another year with you should be a wonderful present for Sean
Best engine room tour I have seen before! Loved it.
Great tour and you show that your knowledge of the brand. Nice to see a Nordhavn with side decks and boarding on both sides. In tidal northern Europe we need that flexibility for harbours with locks and mooring along side. Good job and Merry Christmas, now if my numbers come up?
Hello lan how are you doing today
Nicely done Shawn, thank you.
So, Sans Souci is up for sale again. Fabulous tour of an incredible yacht. Thanks.
Nice presentation of a beautiful yacht, loved your laidback style,,,,,yes i would love a cold beer in the jacuzzi after dropping the anchor......and merry christmas from Norway. And you ask what to prepare in the galley,, well i love reindeer meatballs in a sour cream gravy with boiled potatoes.
Fantastic review, Shawn should do more boat tours he's a natural at it!
Yacht Brokers MV Freedom....great tour Shawn
Totally enjoyed this Video. Very beautiful boat. Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas.
Good job with the boat tour, maybe that's your new calling and less stressful.
That is one of the rare moments when $3m seems really good value for what you get.
Hello Banyan how are you doing today
I love the interior.
Hello Craig how are you doing today
Tony & Susan here, Ginger braised lamb shank , Michel English recipe from the Olives restaurant in Las Vagas, just the best ever.
Yum!
Now this is how a boat video tour is done. Well done !!
First off, Happy Holidays, you two! Nice tour! I would t mind swing some more tours- especially when not boating. Beautiful ship. I think this would make the list of a lot of your followers. The only thing, was the when I saw the headliner, my first thought was the labor involved in removal and reinstall if you need to access anything behind it. My one complaint about Nordhavn’s is the size of swim platform- not sure if it’s the video angles, but they don’t seem to be that wide. Especially, if you are going scuba diving. Throw two people fully decked out, and it might be a little tight. Love the rest of the boat.
BTW, I thought tradition dictated that when you rename a boat that you removed all references to previous name- I though I saw some pieces with previous name.
Hello Thomas how are you doing today
WOW! I want one! Thanks for sharing your Christmas present Shawn.
One of the best boat tours I've seen on UA-cam. If I owned this boat I think I'd grab my lunch everyday and just sit in the engine room. While underway I'd spend the rest of my day in the pilot house.
OK, for dinner: beans and rice. Same for breakfast and lunch. Just trying to live forever. Yum! Grilled beans. Nice boat, btw.
I love your videos. You were talking about a 43hr trip and did anyone have any ideas to stay focused during the long nights. I'm a retired long haul trucker who covered alot of ground over the years both night and day. Something that helped me make it through the long overnight runs was a SiriusXM satellite radio. Any music you want they have it along with talk radio. Get one for your boat and crank up the music at night and watch the hours fly by. Also a good pot of coffee always helps. Keep up the good work and videos.
Wow, I am so taken a back at how some comments are dissing Shawn. I was totally inspired to comment because having watched some of your videos, I was very impressed with his tour. And enjoyed it very much. Of course the boat was amazing, but Shawn is very knowledgeable and just was very personable. Btw, loved the video where you made your driftwood sign. 👍❤️😊
Boat tours are fun, and Sean does a great job of explaining it all. You could do more of these. Thanks!
A superb boat tour for the rest of us! LOVED the tech side and Elizabeth is a grand videographer! More , please1 And Merry Christmas and HNY!
New York Strip Steak, green beans, and Caesar salad. A very nice red wine. And for dessert, that apple crisp that Elizabeth makes!
At $3M probably Top Ramen. Haha
A cup of coffee and a MV Freedom vid. Doesn’t get any better than that! Love this channel... love you guys!
❤️❤️❤️
Shawn was in his element and seemed totally within his comfort zone. Yet another entry in his resume. For me, this is what heaven might be like without the financial burdens, :)
I would eat beans and weiners after buying the boat and after fueling 3200 gallons of diesel I would be an air plant !
Really enjoy all your videos.
Absolutely amazing.....great job on the tour....love it
Jeez, you guys do everything well. Shawn in the tub had to be the Director's call.
Yes it was! He’s always a good sport to give viewers a laugh now and again.
You missed out "he has a stunning wife" :-) Also, considering its not the "wide beam, single walk way" model, that salon seems huge!!
More than stunning!!🤪
Teresa is without a doubt intellectually and in my opinion physically she's perfect what a sweet wife Shawn is so lucky to have her, not saying anything negative but Sean is really lucky
By far the best walk through boat tour on UA-cam. The Nordhavn 68 is my dream boat, just missing one thing and that’s like most people MONEY 💰 and lots of it. Happy Holidays to the both of you.
At this point, after purchasing the vessel-I’d be eating Ramen, for quite awhile!
But I’d be HAPPY!!!
Great tour, you should do more of these videos.
Great tour... Would love to see more. Your technical information was on point for everyone from a Newby to a seasoned sailor 🙌🙌
Micky D's, that's all that would be left in the budget...
Hello Angie how are you doing today
It would be worth it . I'll fish for dinner for life . OMG! 😈❤
Nice job on the tour, I think boat tours would be a good addition 👍👍
More please. Loved this tour. Coming from real cruisers and not from some wealthy broker, it was more relatable.
Great tour - I think Shawn was secretly lusting after a few of those options. BTW, we in Australia call the Steak/Lobster meal "Surf & Turf".
Fantastic tour of a great boat.Merry Christmas guys. You give all of us hope for 2021!
Excellent presentation Loved video Thanks❤️❄️
that was a great present.... for all of us. Cheerz guys.
It would be great for you two to have a boat like that! Imagine the Christmas decorating possibilities for Elizabeth? With all that generator power and space, she could make it look like Santa's own North Pole wonderland! Mr.Sully could have his own poop deck too! And Sean would never run out of little projects to keep him happy and busy.
Wow. I love how you did this video. 1) showed you going through doorways & down hallways, side decks etc. VERY helpful for scale.
2) Your explanation of the different systems, how they work, and why they are needed is phenomenal. VERY appreciative.
3) You're maybe a touch goofy, I like this too. IMHO the yachting community is too serious.
Lastly, thank you for what you both do. I appreciate it.
Excellent well done , keep up the good work all the best.
Thanks for the tour. I like this yacht.
Your Dino Santa got us to buy one! The kids love it. We saw you on scooters when we were in Washington in October. We left our chihuahua mix at home. He's so much like Sully only with doberman markings.
Very, very nice boat! If I had a boat like that I would totally be taking advantage of a fishing pole and a crab pot. And that's probably what I would be eating most of the time. Fresh caught sea food!
Beautiful Boat!! Merry Christmas Shawn & Elizabeth.
Humble and very respectful you guys are awesome.Mahalo Kele
Really good job Shawn
That was great! One of the best boat tours I've seen.
The best Nordhavn boat tour to date on You Tube .Thank you ! Merry Christmas to you both
Thank you & same to you!
Hallo lovely people , great boat , it's almost a ship . Greetings from the Netherlands
You didn't think we'd miss you neglecting the Mid-deck cockpit did you? Ha, Yeah I know it was all covered up, so you're forgiven. Any of those spaces look great to either feed or drink from, although the Hot tub looks hot. I can just imagine myself there drinking a glass 🥂🍾while it snows all around...Nice. Well done Shawn and Elizabeth on that tour and editing.
Well it did get an honorable mention!
Yes, more boat tours please.
This is so interesting well done in showing this 68.
Nice job guys, All the best for the Holidays.
