It's a rare thing to see some one so full of childlike, authentic, real and honest joy. It's even more rare such moments are shared with strangers. Thank you so much for the privilige of being part of one of your life's best experiences!
OldskoolnoobNL I loved watching the 3 videos, and love reading the so many heartfelt comments here, but I think you have nailed what is so unique about Nick and his videos. Sure he is knowledgeable, and sure he has a smooth calm vocal delivery and cracking editing skills. But you have nailed it for me. That beautiful open, honest authentic thill I perceive he is experiencing every single time he hops on any boat. Thanks for nailing it !
Couldn't stop smiling through 3 episodes.. Lovely
Dermot Studdard same here
Brilliant lol
The last 2 ½ minutes had me in tears. If anyone needs to see how to react to others with respect and care, and those that they know with the deepest love and affection, they just need to watch these 3 videos. Absolutely stunning. You obviously have so much love for your wife and family. What a precious moment.
I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Behind so fair a happiness, I saw a man brave and proud to have given this happiness to his family. Thank you for sharing your moment. Thank you again, sir.
Probably your best video... Felt like you had teary eyes towards the end. What a beautiful, well presented trip. We really enjoyed it and lived it with you all. Thank you very much!
I wouldn't be surprised. As you quite rightly pointed out Nick, the crew couldn't have done any more to make the trip perfect. I can see why you would be tearful after that. I'm glad you and your family enjoyed it.
Now you have a deeper understanding of the yachts you review knowing what it is like. Good for you!
Very emotional end, beautiful choice of music as always. Unique footage. Thanks to everyone involved.
That’s a big tick off the bucket list.
48 hours on a charter yacht: £16,000
8 peoples joy and smiles and a lifetime of happy memories, priceless!
And the smiles, joy, and even tears of countless youtube viewers.
So much better than other boat channels which never feature normal people on affordable charters. I know 16 grand isn’t cheap, but shared between a few people it’s not too bad, and not something you do every holidays.
The true rich experience here is the true love that this family shares as they create memories together. Truly beautiful, money isn't everything!
How many yacht owners would value the experience quite like this? inspirational. You guys are winning at life.
PS I'm not ashamed to admit that I had a huge lump in my throat as you were giving your final summary of the trip - I felt as sad as you did for the end of the charter!
RIGHT?! Why did I just cry a little?!?!?
All three parts were Epic mate... I wish you and your family a lot more of these wonderful adventures. And I love the bond between you and your wife. I love to be in such a relationship one day. These three videos were an inspiration! Thank you very much!
Thank you :)
marvellous, it brought a tear to my eye when you were leaving - and I wasn't even there ! Thank you so much for sharing this experience and editing this video in such an amazing way. What a really down-to-earth diary of how to charter a yacht.... felt even bit of enjoyment through your lens. The charter company ought to be so pleased that you have promoted them in this amazing way !
Thank you, really appreciate your comment :)
Nick, this video passed me by, I've seen a ton of your videos and have loved them all.
This video is definitely your 'cherry on the top'.
I'm as lost for words as much as you were during filming it.
Thank you so much for sharing your own dream come to life..
Thanks Larry, glad you enjoyed it, we had a ton of fun making it! Hopefully it's obvious, but this video is one in a series of three so make sure you catch the other two if you've not seen them.
Paul and Victoria appeared to work together better than a Swiss watch.
I was lucky enough to live in HK as a teenager with my Aunt and Uncle, he was a senior manager for a bank and had access to a junk most weekends, those memories will last forever. Water skiing, snorkelling, windsurfing and visiting tiny beaches. This would trump those weekends. Thanks for sharing your amazing time.
This will bring a tear to your eye for sure. Thanks for sharing the amazing time you had. Hopefully one day I can do the same with my family.
It's lovely when people truly appreciate and feel grateful for being able to try something they would not normally get to.
In a similar vein but on a much smaller scale I used to think that posh restaurants were overpriced because I hadn't tried them and then I went to the Fat Duck and blew £600 quid on lunch and it remains one of the more memorable days of my life because of the experience you get for your money.
Some people know the cost of everything and the value of nothing. The two are not the same as you know :)
3 breath-taking parts to a whole story , Memories for life , Money is so hard to come by , and we as a family couldn't dream of doing anything like this , but watching your journey as a family , made me feel like I was part of your family watching and enjoyed every second of this , brilliant Nick , You never know what's round the corner in life , but onething is for sure if I'm ever in the position to buy a boat after watching this channel... I wouldn't think twice ... just brilliant........ jules
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Stay tuned... 😉
I was enthralled and wished for more after each of the three episodes. Only two days but memories that will last a lifetime for everyone on board. Again thank you for sharing, it was wonderful just to see all the fun..
You're welcome, thanks for your comment :)
They say money can’t buy happiness. That’s true but it does often buy moments. Moments in life that even the darkest of times can not remove. So happy for you and your family.
Please keep up the great work and please please continue to share.
In docking, the Stewardess becomes the first mate. Love it. I didn't see it but I am sure the captain did some of the stewarding for a time. This series has turned me from curious to a fan. You are not just a snob Brit who sells Yachts. Great video. You have a lovely family.
What a wonderful way to spend time with loved ones. Bet there are memories made that will stick with you for the rest of your life. Thankyou so much for sharing this wonderful time with your family and friends, its given me another addon to my dream bucket list.
Epic! That's exactly how i would describe your adventure on board. Life is a collection of stories that make up a mosaic. You are all the more richer for having this experience. Thank you for taking us all along on this journey with you. As i have said before, it makes the reviews all the more relatable to us; to understand the ecomonics of expense vs those things that money cant buy!
Fantastic 3 parter. Bravo. You've sold it to me!
Part of me wishes i had'nt watched that because now i REALY want to do it, just have to save £15,998 now and i will, aside from that it was a pleasure to watch all of you enjoying and creating treasured momories, till the next trip anyway.
Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your lovely family even for such a small period, I truly loved every minute of your adventure. Many thanks and God Bless You All. Neil from Thailand
You are so welcome! 🙂
What a fantastic 3 videos, an amazing experience on a wonderful boat with a perfect crew. I’ve just come back from a holiday on Mallorca. Spent time in a four star hotel watching people called Bianca, Starburst and Golden Flower pilling as much food on a plate as possible, and the eat only 20% of it. I’ve just spent two weeks irritating myself about all things going on around me and coming home more stressed than I went. Then I watched your videos and feel at peace with the world. I knew that there must be an alternative to what I’ve been doing and this is it. Thanks for the time and effort you put in to this project. I can say it has changed the way I look at vacations forever.
It is nice to get away from the general public. Most are lovely, but it's the ones who aren't who stand out...
You are so right, once again thanks.
WELL DONE Nick!!
It’s clearly something close to your heart and I can imagine as someone selling that experience to billionaires all your life getting to live it must be awesome.
Well summed up at the end re price.
I like your channnel because you say the price of each boat and boating experience. It’s interesting to find about that world.
I am happy on behalf of you and your family! looked like an incredible journey, looking forward to more boat videos :)
If you had 8 people, OK. But two days goes so quick. But, if you have this kind of money and you find a boat with such hospitable welcoming, why not. These vessels are just amazing. Can you imagine this kind of vessel even twenty years ago, prob not.
What a great deal! @2k pounds each! I have been concidering purchasing an explorer yacht somewhere in Western Europe, and doing the Med for 2-3 months a year, and/or travel the world in 3-4-5 years. Then charter it out where I live. But I'm not sure I would like being gone for that long. As lovely as this small yachting example is, There's no place like Home. Especially when home is Hawaii. Another excelent reason for me to feel gratutude. Thanks for that reality check. Thanks for a taste of Mallorca. The water toys look like a whole lot of fun. I'm glad you all had a great time. Thanks for sharing the love. ALOHA
Brilliant, brings back memories from when I was 1st officer on board a 34m motor yacht chartering out of Cannes back in the late 80s.
These have been my favourite vlogs of the year by far! You and your family are so relatable and I was honestly chuffed for you to be doing this; the icing on the cake for you, your friends and family is that you have these fabulous vlogs to remember your, and their, trip of a lifetime. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
You know what makes an amazing trip everybody fighting with emotions to leave.
The best sales video you have done. Potential clients can see how nice yachting is, as well as potential of using yachts as a charter boat business. The crew was nice as the guest were.
Do you think he had to pay though? (He seems like a great guy and I won't care if he didn't have to pay)
Out of all the videos I have seen on this channel, these have been the best. So pleased you have these fantastic memories to hold and cherish Nick and Marianne. Brings home what families are about. ❤❤❤❤
They're our favourites too. 🙂
I have honestly never had as much fun watching other people having as much fun!
A truly delightful experience, thank you so much for brightening up a cold winter’s night.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Lovely conclusion to the trilogy. Loved the atmosphere, feelings, emotions, photography and music
"Beyond epic". I couldn't agree more. I found myself getting a bit misty during your verbal trip summation and the closing video diary. Beyond epic. Well stated sir. Bravo.
I know it's been some time since this took place, but I'd still like to take a moment to thank you for allowing me to experience some of this wonderful family time! What a partner you have, seeing her just sit and listen to happy kids was just amazing. I've been an ocean nut all my life, but have found a new love for yachts thanks to you. Now I just need to figure out how afford a nice 62+ footer to captain with my daughter as mate and stewardess. Take care and God bless from Ohio, USA!
Thank you 🙂
omg you had me in tears at the end but its because i have grown to love both of you guys especially as you love boating so much and it shows . i had a 20 foot dory called seaspray and i miss her so much .i go out on a friends boat out of langstone harbour called lady D . one day i intend to buy a boat of around 100000 when i get my inheritance .just started putting poison in my parents cups of tea lol . take care and may smugglers blues 2 keep you both safe and on calm seas . love dave
I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Lifestyle Journalists get to tell folk about they things in life that they will probably never get to enjoy themselves. I know you have a boat Nick, but it does not compare really when you look at the lifestyle of holidaying in one of these multi-million pound motor yachts that require an owner to be a multi-millionaire. It was really nice seeing the faces of your family enjoying a holiday of a life-time. And the young lad has the brag to beat all in the 'What I did in the summer hols' essay when back at school!
That David Bjoerk track at the end was perfect! Thanks for having us on board!!
Thanks for coming, glad you like my music choices :)
Great trilogy, I’m so glad you have experienced what few have. And as much as I love being on my own, crews do have an advantage especially on long crossings. One secret if you find yourself with a very good crew, give them great letters of reference and pay them a premium plus bonus(es). They’ll talk you up amongst other for hire crews and they’ll jump at the chance to return if possible.
Thank you for taking us on this incredible journey with you and your wonderful family. I can say with all honesty that I have enjoyed this series of 3 vids more than any boating video I've ever watched. The highlight for me was the humility of your family and the sincere emotion on display as all of you enjoyed living this dream experience. I also want to commend you on fantastic editing and perfect choice of soundtracks throughout. Finally - I really really hope that we get to see more of these videos, particularly if it involves bigger yachts so we can all go along with you and enjoy the experience. Thanks again for sharing this with us, I really look forward to many more videos from you.
Thank you Richard! :) We hope we get to make more of them sometime.
I so enjoy your videos, I love the boats, the toys, the luxury and every thing that goes with them. Amazing. The main point though is the down to earth passion with which you present the videos. All that aside though, I have to say that this video (all 3 parts) deserve an award. Just superb. This time we not only got to see the boat and all it had to offer, but we saw it all in action. Not staged tests, but real people having real fun. The best part for me was your family being able to share your passion on this holiday. A bonding time for all and I'm so pleased that you got to share this opportunity with each other - and with us. Many thanks to you and good wishes to your family.
I'm not good with words, all I can say is fantastic, I've enjoyed the three videos that much I feel like I was there.
That's great. Thanks for your comment :)
£16k buys a car, or it buys you a fantastic time, where 8 people had the time of their lives. Something they’ll never forget. Plus I feel that after so many superb video tours of yachts it was about time you got spoilt. Yet another 3 fantastic videos, thanks nick.
Thanks for watching! :)
Great 3 videos! Once in a life time, you'll never forget👌
It was exactly that. We'll remember it for ever :)
your a gentleman :)
its a high cost but what you have indicated to us all is the value. They should never be confused. I have loved seeing your group of charming people enjoying and illustrated to us what is special about being on a boat. My little boat will never compete with this but we are planning amazing experience too. You have been an inspiration and a guide. Thank you.
Paul
Nick. This certainly your best video set. You are selling the experience rather than the hardware. That is greater value!
Glad to see that you and your family had a brilliant time. Cracking 3 parter and thanks for sharing your privacy with us viewers - it gave us all a chance to see what life on board is like.
That is what life is all about. Making special memory's that last a life time. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely. You've welcome :)
Nick, I watch more videos on you tube than I do TV. You have a GREAT you tube channel. For those of us that have a love affair with boating and being on the water watching these videos illustrate clearly why we love this way of life. I can tell you these three videos are your best videos. The music and footage you have put together captures the vibe and the degree to which your family was enjoying themselves. You can "feel" just how much you and your family enjoyed this trip. Well done!
Thank you! And agree about these videos - our favourites
I watch your videos all the time and love them, even watch them over and over as I have now chosen a possibility of 2 different boats to start my Yachting life (I can dream). As I was watching the tour of the boat and you made a few comments, I had a feeling you were the charterer (if thats the word) and when you announced it, like the puss that I am, I burst out in tears for you. You put so much love into your videos, it shows how much you love them all and love the life. So I watched 4 videos not just the 3 and loved them all. I felt your emotions every step of the way and shed tear after tear watching you enjoy the whole experience (I'm a true wet). Great job, you're a great guy and you have found true happiness both in your "new" career and personal life and I am so happy for you.
Awesome, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed them. 🙂
That was such an amazing mini series ;)
No doubt an incredible experience for you all, and so glad to see how much you enjoyed it. Sure, it is not exactly cheap. But as you said, if you can share that with multiple people, it becomes a whole lot different. Great stuff, thank you for sharing it with us!
These three videos of your adventure reflect the sheer joy that can be experienced in such a setting. Your family has truly shown the pleasure of this type of holiday and the personal touch has made it unique. More real than any reality tv ... educational, full of fun and emotional. Thank you.
You're very welcome, thanks for your comment :)
The crew do seem really down to earth. Professional, but you could have a yarn with them. It's also nice that they are a couple living in close quarters. It's harmonious. Glad you had a great time. Really enjoyed seeing the experience you had as a family.
Beautiful way to start my day, thanks for bringing us along
I am glad, you and your family were able to experience something that unique and exciting! It was a joy to watch!
Was contemplating a trip like this, now I know it is on my bucket list. And thank you for assuring us that the crew makes the experience.
Excellent experience Nick , the story is impeccable, everything is A+ . The crew looked to me excellent also, you must thank also the people behind the scenes, like the cleaners which I am sure whent in the yacht after you left . I really enjoyed all of this videos 😊😊😊
Came to this channel because you live in my town. My 8 year old son and I stayed for the joy. Still like pointing out "Smugglers Blues" to him in the harbour and saying "that's the boat Aquaholic drives".
A true pleasure to watch! Thank you so much for sharing the trip, a great insight into what I hope to enjoy in the future. Thanks again, George.
You're very welcome George :)
Just brilliant. I LOVE AQUAHOLIC!
Thank you! :)
It’s great to see the kind of boats you show on your channel, actually in use. Coolest bit for me was that dingy being lowered & then driving off.
Wow, man! What a phenomenal, high-quality, heartfelt documentary of your family's boating experience. You actually made me cry with the final episode and your final speech. Congratulations!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)
Wonderful, emotional, life enriching experience.
I hope Smuggler's Blues will be out a few more times before the seasons end.
Thanks! And so do I.
Thank you for sharing this amazing experience. Normally you show empty boats. That's nice, but is some much better when there is life on the boat.
I think it's the 4th time me watching this. It feels like a mini vacation every time, just seeing everybody enjoying themselves, having a good time. The sun, the sea, family, what's not to love? Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us, Nick! 😃
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the last 3 episodes it brought joy to my heart seeing your wonderful family and you enjoy yourself so much on a amazing boat.. perfect music for the videos cannot wait for more videos to come would love to see you down in Weymouth sometime where I live especially now sunseekers are mostly building their boats there on Portland
I have watched these a few times each and thoroughly enjoy the relaxing feeling it gives. You have a great choice in the music as well. I never thought I would want crew but after seeing the great food etc I am thinking a bit differently now. Well done Sir!
Thanks. It's totally changed my views on crew.
We rented a 65' houseboat that I had to skipper. Your right, I would have loved to have someone do all the driving and cooking ....
This type of trip is on my bucket list. Some day. After looking at your reviews on boats I'm glad you had the opportunity to see
how they are used in real life. I think this will help your reviews
Nick, FAB-U-LOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A great trilogy of videos, and a wee lump in the throat watching the 3rd one - must be your excellent editing and choices of music.
A great standard for your videos, and how are you going to top this next???!!!!
Best wishes to you and you family.
Allan
It's going to be tough! (And have to include helicopters and submarines..!! :D )
@@AQUAHOLIC tease.....!!!!!!
I'm just dreaming, nothing planned - sadly! :D
¡Hola buenas tardes Nick! Firstly, thank you for sharing a very personal part of your life. The comments I've seen here speak volumes of praise, and rightly so, for your love of family, friends and, ultimately, of life. In 2015, my partner and I left the UK to live in southeast Spain. We wanted a life experience to remember. So far we are living that dream and, like you in the videos, emotions run high when you find a space to enjoy. As you pointed out, the costs may seem high however, you only have one tour of life - it has to be done. As ever, stay safe and well. Un saludo. Gary
We men are usualy not the best with wording and emotions...but both you and your other half, I feel, said it as it is ...from the heart. Loved the genuinity and the pure hapiness Marianne expressed in her look brougth a tear of joy to my face.
I do not know you, but from the bottom of my heart I am filled with joy for the experience you were able to have with your family.
Bless you all.
Thank you 🙂
Such a beautiful vacation !!! Thank you for sharing your amazing holiday , I feel like I was right there with you all and loving it.
This is probably your greatest video. I've often wondered what it's like to take a break on a yacht, and if judging by your family's and your response it's something everyone should do at least once. Well done sir, a joy to share the experience with you ( rushing out for lottery tickets).
There are so many facets to this video series! First, after seeing so many yacht tours (which I love, by the way), now you showed me what was like to actually experience it. Second, the family love and interaction told me a lot about who you are as a man, and what your family means to you. And finally, the video and music was just, as you would put it, brilliant! The video with the well-selected music really set the mood for the whole experience. Very well done!
Thanks Michael, appreciate it. A LOT of time went into the editing so I'm glad it is so well received. :)
Fantastic to see you and your family have so much fun, if anyone deserves this you do. I will never be able to afford these wonderful machines.
But at 75 years old in the latter stages of prostate cancer you bring me so much pleasure thank you!
I’m sorry to hear that Peter
WOW what a great 3 episodes, family and crew. the joy on your lads face while steering, a memory to stay with you for life. love to you and your family.
And that ladies and gentlemen is what real talent produces from a real life experience. When you can cause people’s hearts to open up like these 3 videos
have you possess true talent, not just with your craft but true talent as a person. My sincere gratitude and appreciation for you, cheers.
You're very kind 🙂
All three of these videos had me smiling constantly. Thank you for bringing us along on this amazing trip!
3 great episodes. A natural but informative fly on the wall view of your family holiday. I can't think of any better way to have a relaxing few days.
Just wanted to say how nice the videos were. So authentic. Just great people having a great time. Thanks for sharing such a personal experience. Keep it up!!
Very well done. I really enjoyed the series. Thanks for taking us along!
I found sailing on Eda Frandsen was also epic, moving, amazing in the same light as you have spoken and it is the crew that make amazing with their tender loving care. Trouble is that was going to also be a once in life time trip...so epic been 6 times. I look forward to your next trip
Amazing! I am truly lost for words. Thank you for sharing this stunning experience with us all. You pulled out all the stops on this last instalment. Thank you.
Your such an honest loving man. Could see it in the way you treat your family. Men like you are hard to find. Thank you for being who you are. Ps your wife is very beautiful and her laughter made me smile. Live long and be happy
Awesome experience, thanks for sharing. I will cycle up a mountain tomorrow to get my low-budget kick.
btw. the tender was very cool. I guess, light weight due to the inflatable parts, very practical and fast in the water.
If these three fantastic videos don’t make you dream of chartering a Yacht and start saving, then I doubt anything will. Cracking videos.
It was a pleasure to watch you and your family enjoying yourselves. And what I call a proper review, as you used the boat as a home away from home for a couple of days showing life aboard. Glad you enjoyed it, companies could give you a one day charter on some of their boats to promote their products
It's a saying that money doesn't make you happy - but being able to buy experiences and memories like this surely does. Money is just a means, not an end. If you have it, spend it.
Congrats, Nick & family & friends, for making the right decision. I'm so happy for you.
Even better viewing a second time- smiles and tears - such a nice video, such nice people. I’ll probably watch again a few more times.
I appreciate your immense gratitude. It makes me feel jealous, but so happy for you that you got to enjoy this!
Nicely edited. Big credit to the fine weather both days! As you say, 4 couples at 4000 Pounds each, put this special experience within reach of many people who otherwise would never get a taste of this.
Brilliant. As dermot said "couldn't stop smiling through all 3 episodes". Got teary eyed at the end of the video. :')
I enjoy your review videos and dream of that lottery win...!!!! Loved your 3 part yacht charter videos! Filmed and edited beautifully and full of emotion! Thanks for what you do!!
You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed it. :)
