I grew up with Sir Roger as 007 and he's probably my favourite. I've read his autobiography and he comes across as having a great sense of humour. He was a keen practical joker and my favourite story was during the filming of The Spy Who Loved Me. There's a scene where he's driving the Lotus car that turned into a submarine out of the water and up the beach. He hid a fake fish in the car and as the cameras rolled and it drove up the beach he lowered the window and dropped it out. Apparently the director went mad, but people loved it so much that it made the movie! RIP Sir Roger, a legend.
I've just found the fish drop scene! Bear in mind he did this for a joke to wind up the director and look at the expression on his face - what a legend! :D ua-cam.com/video/xYdDXJRmORo/v-deo.html
AQUAHOLIC great video! My last name is Moore so Roger is my obvious favorite 007!
I also grew up with Sir Roger as 007, my favourite Bond. A true gentleman. Finding his boat is great catch, Smugglers Blues III Nick? Cheers
AQUAHOLIC ; SIR ROG (HER) MOORE had a couple of Cummings on his sunseeker, now now Nick you'll get demonetised by UA-cam with language like that😂😂😂
@@tonyknox6739 I could imagine a couple of bond girls on that enormous wraparound sofa 😎😆
- And you are mr....?
- My name is Holic.... Aquaholic!
Magnificent boat Nick, thanks for sharing!
Excellent !
Good one . Lmao
WAY under rated comment. Lol
What an incredible boat history! I'd never sell that if I owned it, Sir Roger Moore was the most suave James Bond of all
Absolutely!!
"You can imagine Sir Roger Moore taking a dump there"
Hopefully it has the original toilet seat
@The Snowman oh my god that's priceless. What an underrated comment. ...Z
Great video. RIP Sir Roger. He was my favourite Bond as well. A legend.
👍👍👍
I also grew up with Roger Moore as 007. Some people say Sean Connery was the best bond ever but Sir Roger is my favorite. Thank you for the tour, lovely classic Sunseeker.
"Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end..." I copied that paraphrase from something I might have remembered - but it seams to fit. Roger Moore represented the "tech agent" of super spies. His talents were always enhanced by his "goodies" - they never replaced his abilities. This boat is soooo that ethos (Word Of The Day calendar). A fun ride down memory lane (waterway) - thank you so much, Nick, for sharing...
Nice one Nick. Roger was my Bond too. Great that you put some effort in and researched the boat.
I am now content with my similar boat Barvaria 32DC. Bigger boat syndrome gone. Thank you Sir Roger Moore.
For me, Sean Connery was James Bond, and Roger Moore was the Saint, but I still can hear the Bond Theme playing while watching this
Same here!!
What a cool boat and a cool former owner.
Regarding the boat - you can see that it was a quality boat when built in the 90s by the way the interior has held up.
Regarding the former owner - Always a smile and a witty line in the face of danger.
That head’s door is a work of art.
Nick, you need that boat. 150k subscribers and you have to buy it. A man of your standing and all that.....
The audience said they wanted more! Lots Moore, so,...... I gave it to them! Lovely boat and the Bond of my childhood! What a legend! Love the Spy Who Loved Me story and I’m sure it’s absolutely true!
Yes, sure in this storage were toys like rafts and scooters.... You can not trick us. The toys were guns, missile launchers and some unthinkable Q gadgets!
Additional it has a great styled interior and the perfect name.
Technically, the perfect name for a Bond boat would be M. :)
There's "particularly interested in showing" and then there's "particularly interested in buying"! As much as you love Smugglers Blues II, I think you would be a FANTASTIC owner if there was a Smugglers Blues III !! Considering its age, I'm VERY impressed with the condition of that boat! The leather, the helm station, the WHOLE BOAT look as close to new as possible! The only place that I could see needing some attention would be the teak flooring. It says a lot about the current owner and also the amount of quality Sunseeker put in their vessels! She's a very lovely and interesting vessel, for sure! Thanks for this Nick!! Cheers!!
It would suit me! :D
Holic..........Aquaholic!! LOL!!
@@AQUAHOLIC Nick, are you noticing that your subscribers are increasing faster ? Your at 121k. You were just at 100k a number of weeks ago. Thoughts ? Z
More great varied content Nick, keep it up always keeps me guessing what’s coming. Keep safe at this time
Wow, incredible..made my day watching this. Huge Roge fan, right through from The Saint, Bond, and of course The Persuaders. I worked for Eon for six years and everyone there loved him, he was a true gentleman, generous and charitable. He really did live the Bond lifestyle too, frequenting all the usual Riviera haunts, and London too of course. Thanks again Aquaholic!
That's interesting to hear. Everything I've read about him suggests exactly that. Awesome guy.
OMG, amazing, I could feel his raised eyebrow watching your tour, brilliant. Thank you for your work as always. Take care and stay safe. 👍👍👍🚢🛥⛴🛳🚤⚓😎
The Legend that was Sir Roge. Greatly missed. I was also sadend to hear of the passing of Sir Stirling Moss the other day icons in their own lifetime just like the Tomahawk
Absolutely right.
Really enjoyed the tour nick great video! Love the older boats on the channel, keep it up!
Nice bit of history. Also comes with the original 1990's TV. LOL
And a copy of MBY
I grew up on the Norfolk Broads. Sir Roger had a farmhouse and boat moored in a small village. My cousins and I had drinks on one of his boats, in the 1970's. We used to bump into him around the village in his white Lotus. We met many of the cabaret acts starring in Great Yarmouth nearby and never thought much of it.
Coming across this vlog brings back memories of my childhood, thank you.
Ha. what a great back story. I remember watching that Scene as a kid and thinking 'how did a fish get in there if it was water tight' all makes sense now. Not over keen on sir Roger's booat but love the history of it.
No matter what size boat, you make the tour very interesting. Great video as always and as for the boat, I'd love to own it. Compared to some places I lived in back in the day, this would be a palace. Thank you for sharing this boat and the wonderful story to go with it.
Very nice! 😃 Sir Roger Moore was the best Bond in history and now I know how he was spending free time.
Thx Aquaholic! 😉
Yes, agreed, he was the Bond I grew up with..... awesome!
Lovely piece of kit with a great history to with it. Funny enough we have a boat on our club pontoon that was supposedly originally
owned by Eric Morecombe, not sure if it's true or not but that's the story that goes with it. Thanks for the tour great as always.
Great find! The Tomahawk really was a class boat, non to shabby now I might add.
Great review again Nick.
Damn, I've stirred my Martini now!
Great looking boat and tour to do it justice. Brave man going down to the bow with camera in hand! 🤪 Thanks Nick 👍
nice tour
Thanks Nick, we need more classic tours like this one! (Well I do anyway... ;))
Great tour Nick. Nineties boat maybe. Very cool definitely. 👍👍
Loved all the James Bond actors, but Roger Moore was always my favorite with his quirkynes. lol Just glanced at your comment below about how funny he was, and this is what I like about his performance, that comedic ability shown through.
Oh wow. I’m a huge James Bond fan. If I were able to buy a boat right now, this would be it!
Great video Nick. I really enjoyed it
Sir Roger was the Bond of my youth as well.... also, my family had a friendship with Bell Boats in Brundel... Vic Bell being behind the Moonraker 30 then 36 (softrider).... One of the early buyers was Roger Moore... the boat was called Lady Dorothy (if my hazy memory is right) after his second wife, Dorothy Squires....
When I was looking for a Moonraker a few years back, it was for sale, cheap and looking a little jaded... wish I had bought it 🙁
It was an early non flybridge sedan, twin 6354 Perkins ...... lovely boats, in my opinion.
Excellent tour Nick... Classic boat for a classic actor... Roger was James Bond when I was growing up too... The guy had some style !
What a great story Love the old phone still there, I Can see Sir Roger now cruising in this with dry martini, (Shaken, not stirred.) in his hand.
It's my namesake too - I just let myself get called the short version of Douglas :)
If ever I stood right on the front a boat as you many a time do, my legs would probably be jelly and just give out! hahahaha
“There’s no sense in going out half cocked.”
Lovely boat, that one.
Just trying to keep the British end up sir!
Wow speechless Sean Connery might be my favourite James Bond but the fact that this was Roger Moore's boat makes it so special!
@@verona8144 How can I be wrong about something completely subjective? to me Connery captures the essence of Bond best, how can a subjective interpretation of a fictional character be factually incorrect? Also, this doesn't take away from Moore's portrayal of Bond, he was great! I just thought Connery was a better fit for the character.
Lovely little sportboat and great history behind it. Just apply some elbow grease and it should become spectacular! Keep safe, Nick! Cheers!
Cool history on that vessel!! Nice tour!
Sunseeker again. Lovely boat, I always like these.
I adore this boat, especially with the heritage
Love how you have your James bond watch on 😀
Neat back story good showing thank you!
Roger Moore had the best sense of humor or all the Bonds, thus far. Sean Connery is the best of all the Bonds in my humble opinion. It's a nice boat. Thanks
I love Torquay! My gran met Roger Moore in Johannesburg in the early 80s. Great tour of a rather cool boat.
A beautiful boat love it
Yes, you can tell a lot about the man by his boat. He was a special man, much loved.
Sir Roger seemed like a fantastic bloke but being of a certain age and also a Highlander then I've got to say Sean Connery, a truly tough guy in real life too. Great video with a real piece of history. 👍🏴
Don‘t know if it was intentional or not but the Omega Seamaster on your wrist was a really nice touch - I guess it was intentional because you don‘t wear that watch a lot in your videos?
For those who don‘t know, James Bond has worn an Omega Seamaster in every Bond movie since 1995
This is when you know you have made it, the holy grail of boats
My favourite bond 👍🏻💪🏻👌🏻🇬🇧
Nice boat Tour nick
Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Absolutely my favorite 👍🏼👍🏼
Just beautiful ...
Regrettably I don't think I will ever be in a position to buy any of the boats you review. However, I love your reviews and the fact that it is not rushed, the camera picture is never blurred and I'm not going dizzy, because some people turn to quickly with the camera. Being an old geezer Sean Connery has always been my Bond and I have always loved the scene 'From Russia With Love' where he is in, I think a Fairey Huntress. That boat always sounded just right and in its day seemed fast. I have a couple of classic cars and so tend to love the older things when they were simple to understand and feel the same about boats, it would be smashing to see you do a review on a Fairey Huntress if there are any still about.
I have only recently subscribed but, I am back tracking and loving all the reviews keep up the good work and stay safe.
Filming a Fairey is a great idea! They have quite a following and some have been restored, so if I can find a good one with a willing owner then I'll do it. Glad you're enjoying the channel :)
@@AQUAHOLIC Fantastic look forward to that.
This Sunseeker gives a sense of perspective: rich and famous fellow wants no more than this to round out his Mediterranean living!
Great video as usual,, very interesting.
Yes, I really saw James Bond with beard!
Nice looking boat.
"What a handsome craft......such lovely lines."
This is what we're talking about Nick. Taste and Style.......
Love Roger, love the boat (although she could do with some new covers.... and a clean.... )
That helm seat is a work of genius. Can't believe nobody's copied that......
Love your channel. Keep up the good work!
Kind regards,
S
Just keeping the British end up Sir!
@@AQUAHOLIC even the right movie! Well done ole boy! SR
Sir Roger Moore is real moonraker to sunseker.rest in peace
Great Video and Boat. Can’t wait to see you do a “Proper” tour of Heesen Galactia Super Nova in the near future. Fingers cross.
Incredible. Where do you find these precious boats. Thanks Nick for all your work, we all appreciate 🙏
My pleasure!
That’s some pretty cool history for a boat
Lovely looks and very practical .... pricey but worth it
Great find Nick, found that very interesting, i don’t know how you done it but I’m not complaining,,I agree I always thought he was the best 007 of all time too, I think it was his regal demeanour , very English swarve and loved how old jaws got electric ⚡️ zapped with the lamp, ha ha 👍🏻😎😂😂🍺⚓️
Fittingly you wore an Omega Seamaster as a watch, the Bond-watch (model from the nineties-00's), great stuff!! I see in your videos that you are quitte the watch enthousiast, very nice!
This is so cool!!
My favorite Roger Moore 007 movie was “Live and let die” they had some cool boats and boats stunts in that.
They held the world boat jump record with the stunt jumping the car!
@@AQUAHOLIC I really like Sheriff Pepper I thought he was hilarious "Secret agent on whose side" LOL
Bicky's Restorations: I can hear him now as he’s proclaiming it with such passion. That’s a proper all action film and every part of it screams pure Americana to me.
What are you boy, some kinda doomsday machine!? 😄
@@AQUAHOLICYou got it... I'm 53 so I grew up with Roger Moore. I remember reruns of the Saint on TV. I love the parody he did of himself in The cannonball run.
nice boat sir Roger was a great Bond
Nice to see you responsibly out and about.
Filmed before the lockdown
@@AQUAHOLIC Bummer, I guess I got my hopes up.
Love it!
Well Nick,it’s so nice that you don’t have to stay in some kind of indoor quarantine,because otherwise we could not enjoy all your nice videos,and the boat was really nice but I expected that Sir Roger More being such a movie star would have a bigger boat ? but what do I know,and by the way he was also married to a Swedish woman (Kristina) and driving the Volvo P1800 as Simon Templar in the tv show The Saint,and by the way Nick,the Volvo P1800 was design by a Swedish guy by the name Pelle Petterson and he was also a very renowned boat designer here in Sweden :) :) :)
I certainly do have to stay in, this was filmed before the lockdown
Thank you so much for that bit of memorabilia, I never liked any other 007 actor and yes I am 67 years young. You never mentioned a price point for this historic beauty but I bet it is not for sale. I can imagine myself chasing around octopussy and all sorts of semi naked women whilst serving Queen and country. Ah, fantasy and phantasmagorical mind wanderings with such a wonderful little ship! I love this meander down memory lane, one of your best Vlogs in my humble opinion!
It is indeed for sale - check out the link in the description! :)
I’m expecting to see Sean Connery’s boat next.......
......you opened the door nick........no excuses!
I now expect a complete James Bond series, in fact.
Hi Nick. Sleek looking and a decent size for a sport boat.
I can see you upgrading to this Nick.
Finally, Roger Moore is validated as THE best James Bond!
Sir Roger Moore took a dump in that toilet! :-0 lol
The leather looks brand new
Fantastic boat , it's just enough without being ostentatious, I went to see sir roger at an " evening with " at the grand theatre leeds in 2014 for 2 whole hours his P.A Gareth, could not get him off the stage , self depracating and wickedly funny anecdotes of all the tv shows and films he made , he also made no secret that he was quite a frugal man from a humble background , "although not as frugal as sean connery " he joked !!!. Nick did you find out what happened to the Glastron boat used in moonraker ?? . I would love to see a review of that if you ever track it down . 👍👍
No idea, but I remember it being a cool looking boat.
Sir Roger never kept a dinghy in there, it was the crew quarters for Tatoo!
In a suitcase!
You made me snort a bit when you said "Sir Rog"!! lol.
I was just as bad, when you showed the bed, I could hear him say "Shall we go to bed, darling"..? Like James Bond, with a raised eyebrow, but to his wife obviously.
Enjoyed that. Thanks.
Nice Boat Nick unlike many others I don't think he was the best bond ever, I am pretty sure that Sean Connery has won that accolade. However he was a very gifted actor and a very good James Bond. At 89000 this has got to be a great purchase for someone.
Objectively you're probably right, but it's hard not to love Sir Roger in the role.
0:11 Roger Moore's first nickname was “the Big Knit” - so perhaps that's the "K"?! His autobiography ends “Not bad for a knitwear model.”
And Sir Roger Moore's widow Kristina Tholstrup (known as Kiki) is a Dane like myself:-)
just looked there is loads of pics of roger and his wife on this boat
Sir Roger needed some money & his assistant Gareth helped to sell it on eBay for £60k
cool ! .... boating history ...
This is the coolest boat you've walked through.
The only James Bond that I liked too is Roger Moore.
I want an older Sunseeker.
So I'm assuming there's a button somewhere to turn that fridge into a Miele?
I came as fast as I could
That's what the Bond Girl said
Did you put on your Sean Connery look for this James Bond boat? Great vid as usual!
And here is the original heads where Sir Roger would’ve proudly sat
No naughty toys hidden like missiles!
I didn’t press any buttons! 😄
I'm actually surprised that someone who was worth so much, didn't have something a bit bigger or faster.
I believe he had a villa close to the boat, so this would just have been a dayboat. Probably never slept on it. For owner operation lazy days out this is perfect.
@@AQUAHOLIC he was always rather careful with his money!
Shows the guy had class,could have had a big shouty ego stlye boat but instead settled for this little beauty.keep up the good work nick. I love the boats with a story attached,more please : )
