Kadey Krogen does some of the best kitchens I've seen in trawlers.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Joe: They really do a great galley and the rest of the boat is top shelf as well. Thank you for your note.

[@motivationtube5848]

Beautiful one of the best interiors for this type of boat

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Mediation Station: Thank you, the original owner (now seller) has a good eye for the layout and décor.

[@janlul2308]

Aaaaaah, finally now I know what "Dutch doors" exactly means. Thank you. Best regards from The Netherlands.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Jan: Dutch doors, Portuguese bridge, there are some international names on trawlers. Thanks and greetings back to you.

Ante: Thank you for your note, yes, this is an exceptional design.

[@jozefcichocki6305]

Good day Jeff, as a prospective buyer I personally would like to hear more of an important information such as total fuel capacity, fuel consumption at cruising speed? , also top speed, these are the important thinks to person like myself, I would greatly appreciate your input, please.Thank you. J.C. Melbourne Australia.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Jozef: When we had this boat listed for sale we did include many of the details you are asking about on our website. If you would like to discuss in more detail, please email me directly - [e-mail]. Thank you for your note.

[@jozefcichocki6305]

@@JeffMerrillYachts Good Day Jeff ! thanks for your reply, but I still see how difficult for you guys to give the viewer of JMYS and in this case, Kady- Krogen " Olympia "on availability of required simple information as mention in previous comments on your motor yachts in question, is that a secret or deliberate withholding of info that I have kindly asked for, I am not impressed with your approach to the answer of my question sorry Jeff. Thanks.

[@songerhu3769]

The only purpose of those well made videos are trapping those new prospective buyer like you.
Salesperson like to talk to those people with some savings but lacking of yacht knowledge.
When you approach them you will get information and price accordingly

Very nice vessel! Thanks you...

My dream cruiser

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

MarChris: Really a fabulous design

[@michaelcapote2185]

Good tour, as usual, but I've noticed lately that the usual information i.e. engine rating, fuel capacity, electronics etc. is lacking. Is this by design or an oversight???

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Michael: Thank you for watching. Olympia changed hands a couple of years ago. When we had her listed we did have the full spec sheet up on our website, www.JMYS.com. We also try to include some of the details like engine brand, horsepower, fuel capacity in our videos, but don't include things that can change like hours and price.

[@dennied7826]

The machine room is fantastic but the lack of any contrasting color in all of that wood work in the interior would drive me a bit batty after awhile, still a nicely (if a bit oddly) outfitted boat however, I'm sure her new owners love her though.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Dennie: Photos and video don’t really give you a proper feel. When a boat is for sale a lot of the personal items are removed. The new owner can decorate any way they wish.

[@HADJEE]

The master cabin had a different type of wood and a lighter stain.

Very crude review!

Tamater: Never had a comment like yours, sorry this isn’t what you were expecting. You might like it better if you turn off the sound and just enjoy the boat.

[@loganmontagnino2620]

My aunt and uncle just bought this boat

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Logan: Fantastic news, they own a great boat!!! Now you need to get a job as crew to help them.

[@themanwithnoname2666]

Good luck to them.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

@@themanwithnoname2666 They will love it!

[@MattSmith-qn9cv]

Horsepower and range would have been nice

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Matt: We had that on our website, along with price and hours when she was listed for sale. Long since sold. The Krogen website will have some answers for you.

[@DrCrabfingers]

Range would be something like 5500 nm at 5 knots, 4300 at 7 knots, 2 x 160bhp John Deere engines. KKs are the most fuel efficient pleasure yacht on the ocean...

[@MattSmith-qn9cv]

@@DrCrabfingers Thankyou for the information

[@SERGIO-cr6uy]

I havent Googled yet but the 55 doesn't it stand for 55 feet? That seems a much bigger boat.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Sergio: Yes the 55 stands for 55 feet, but she is larger than that. Most trawler builders base the designation on length on deck, but the bow roller and swim step make them several feet longer in overall tip to tip.

[@SERGIO-cr6uy]

@@JeffMerrillYachts well thanks for the reply and the upload, it was a brilliant and comprehensive review of a magnificent boat. 👍

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

@@SERGIO-cr6uy Thank you, Kadey-Krogen really builds an excellent boat and we were pleased to be given the chance to market Olympia.

[@bigbubba4314]

Curio cabinet on an expedition yacht? Strange feature for rough seas. An nice shower with a large window? A voyeurs dream I guess. Otherwise , nice yacht.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Bubba: A lot of time is spent still - at anchor or in a marina. Having some decorator touches helps keep the warm feeling of home.

[@srupp9271]

How much did she sell for ?

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Claus: We were not the final selling broker so I'm not sure of the price at closing. Thanks for your note.

[@chele-chele]

master in the bow is a deal breaker imo...

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Chele: A lot more common than you may realize. Like everything on a boat many pro's and con's. Thank you for your note.

[@harrymurphey2634]

... a job were you go barefoot !!! Awesome ... I'm jealous ... really nice M/V

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Harry: Thanks for your nice comment - sunburned feet is a job hazard!

[@dougeisenberg7148]

How Much $

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Doug: She is listed with Luke Brown Yachts in FL, they will have the current price. Great boat, you will be impressed!

[@cwett100]

Is this yacht still for sale?

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Cow: No, she was sold some time ago, there is a note to this effect in the video description. Great boat!

[@deanhandley7779]

why do boat salesmen show in bare feet? Are his feet cleaner that his shoes?

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Dean: Not sure why this is important enough for you to comment on. I'm not a robot, so I'll reply. Shouldn't be a surprise that I do shower every day, so YES, my feet are cleaner than my shoes. Bizarre comment, thank you for watching. Jeff

[@deanhandley7779]

@@JeffMerrillYachts so why do realtors not show houses in bare feet? Surely you can't be the only one that showers everyday! Do they show new aircraft in bare feet? Cars?

[@vintagebikes4215]

Master too far forward, very rough in a storm...up...down...up...down!

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Bikes: If you are underway in a storm (a micro percentage of the time onboard) you can sleep farther aft. For 99%+ of the time it's ideal to have a forward cabin and it's not an option on the KK55.

[@mrbrown3462]

Why is it every place but Italy use the words galley,head, stateroom, hanging locker. You go to Italy and and many boat owners use words of what things really are like kitchen,bathroom,bedroom, closet and sometimes they will even call what many call the helm the cockpit while other call the stern deck the cockpit you operate and drive things from a cockpit you do not drive or operate a boat from the stern deck other than docking. These rich people fancy words that make no sense while rich Italian yacht and boat charter people are usind common words that everyone knows atleast all the ones I have ever known or seen

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Mr. The nomenclature of boats is a tradition. Why is left called port? Didn't know that in Italy they use home terms on boats. Hey a toilet is a head, why? I'm just explaining in the language that I know others expect to hear when describing a boat. I'm sure I'd hear comments correcting me if I called the galley a kitchen. Does it really matter?

[@DanielC__]

This is a nice boat but it’s been GROSSLY overpriced. On the market for almost 2 years, when does the owner finally “get it”? Obviously a stubborn owner who values his property far in excess of the market. If I’m going this high sorry, I’m buying new with full warranty’s.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

STI: Asking price is a starting point, most boats don’t trade at full price. I don’t agree that she is grossly overpriced, only one person will be lucky enough to be the buyer. Eventually the right buyer will come up with the right price and they will get to sail her away.

[@DanielC__]

@@JeffMerrillYachts It stands to reason that a boat on the market for 2 years that hasn’t sold, assuming it’s not physical or mechanical, is price. Market demand is driven by price. This boat had been reduced over 25% since first listed and still not sold. That is a prime example of grossly over priced.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

@@DanielC__ Supply and demand. This is a great boat that people aren't aware of, they haven't built that many. Compared to a new 55 this one is a huge deal, ready to go, no wait. There is nothing wrong with this boat and if it is one you are interested in you should make an offer.

[@chele-chele]

@@JeffMerrillYachts There is always something wrong with a boat, if you know it yet or not =)

[@DrCrabfingers]

Your comment is comical, you appear to be angry about the price....well then don't buy it. No one is being forced to buy this vessel. If the owner wanted 25 million for it what difference does it make? A thing is only worth what someone will pay for it....the owner wants the maximum price and is happy to not sell it for less...good luck to them.
