Anyone interested in seeing that classic Bertram 'Paper Tiger' in action in 1965 can see a quick glimpse of her right here: ua-cam.com/video/d-f2ufd_hmQ/v-deo.html
All those spectator boats, can't see that happening today, HSE would have a proper hissy fit 😂. Nick if you ever get then chance to review a classic Fairey please do, was great to watch that modern Supermarine.
I completely share your love of silence. Not having music blasting out that someone else has "selected" is bliss. Lovely video. Thanks for sharing the silence!
Even though I'm not a boat owner I can see how much pleasure one can get from cruising Britain's coastline and relaxing in a quiet bay for a few hours. Bliss. Thank you, Nick & Marion for taking us with you x
Well, I think I speak for all of us when I say that we deeply appreciate the toil and the sacrifice that the two of you had to endure to bring us this video. Your efforts are not in vain, and we are most grateful.
The "lesser known" Munros, Corbetts, Grahams and Hughs (the four types of Scottish hills) are the other places to escape. I managed to get myself nicely sunblushed.... and swarmed by clegs.
4:25 I looooove that you let us enjoy your ride over the water. A sequence w/o off text, w/o music, just pure enjoying. Thanks! 08:09 And thank you for letting us join that escape and silence.
I learned to sail and got my competent crew certification in Dartmount circa 1994, on a five-day course, a lovely spot. Beautiful lunch spot and I was almost nodding off in the afternoon sun with you, so relaxing, thanks, Nick and Marianne!
Astonishingly therapeutic when at anchor. Which gave me an idea: how about videos of an ASMR style which is no music, no narrative, literally just casting off, sailing, anchoring then being as if we were there. Footage of the kind in this at 8 minutes in gives us such atmosphere that those of us who don't have boats would revel in it. 👍 Brilliant stuff.
Me too, my family generally weren't boaters but I share so many traits with my grandad and he owned 3 over his life. Just wished Surrey mortgages weren't so expensive so I fear even at 45, I will need to wait a few more years.
Nick you are such an inspiration! I love sailing and boating and in your videos I can absolutely feel your joy to this topic! Love your videos, greetings from Austria!
For the first time I decided to see your articles on Motor boat and yachting (the text, not the videos) and have to say your writing is very consistent! Great work!
Thank you both for another fantastic video. This really is a little piece of escapism for myself. I stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago despite having no knowledge of boats. Really enjoying the back catalogue of videos at the moment. Thanks again both and keep the videos coming.
Nick & Marianne, Thank you for your videos. I stumbled across them by chance and you have seriously convinced me, now my wife into the pleasures of boating life. Love Smugglers and have been looking out for a very close contender. Unlucky so far. We came to Torquay last weekend and there she was your boat, Impressed. Keep the videos comeing, we love them. Stay well and keep safe to you both.
Hi Nick and Marianne. Perfect relaxation boating. The marina looks like Monaco, ship spotting Botnia, Princess, Nelson. The Aston Martin was a bonus. An escape from everything in a stunning landscape. Awesome video thanks 😊 Enjoy.
I used to work for Ken Cassir. He won the class 1 Cowes Torquay Cowes powerboat race in 1977. The following year he broke the class 1 offshore speed record at 97.17 mph. I remember him coming into the office after racing. The skin shredded off his back, and his spine giving him hell. God he was a grumpy bugger to work for, but a bit of a laugh away from work.
What a lovely way to spend your time afloat, enjoy it to the max and many years more to come all the best, May see you someday in Torquay when we are down there on holiday.
Tru this pandemic more people realise its been out on your own boat with you familie is priceless thats why second hand boat are sky rocketing in price
I love your videos of you enjoying your boat. I love all the other videos showing off crazy expensive boats, but these are incredible. Your boat rules!
BEAUTIFUL ! Loved all the camera angles showing the boat running through the waves . Entrance to the river with the castle on the rocks, colourful village & marina are post card perfect . Thank you for sharing your weekend memories . God bless . Mark (Toronto) 💦💦💦
Just idyllic, difficult to imagine anything more glorious than a sunny day on a boat in South West England. I'm definitely getting a hankering for a taste of this!
Greetings from Indianapolis USA. Wonderful video Nick. It’s nice to see a couple enjoy boating like you both do. There’s a time for water sports and partying, but you showed the perfect way to use your boat for relaxation. Nice contrast to your boat reviews. Keep up the fantastic work.
So nice, if I'm watching your videos, it's always holiday for me, especially such videos as that one! I admire you! Thanks for sharing your time with us!
Excellent video and some stunning scenery. Good job I watched to the end as I was going to say, Nick you may need to look for your own boat if you ever want to drive again but it was nice to see Marianne let you have a go. 😎
So relaxing 😊. I love watching you both having great fun ! Great seeing Smugglers Blues 2 in action again. Lovely location and great weather ! What a great life you both have 😊
Wow, what a lovely tranquil video to watch........ Fantastic!!!!!!! I trust that you enjoyed that even more than me. Keep up the fine work that you are doing Mr. Aquaholic and best regards to Marianne.
What a way to spend a day. Those security gates at Darthaven Marina are quite something. And I'm guessing you didn't have time to change into a Motaholic T-shirt as that DB5 flashed past. Beautiful looking place. Sleep well you two. Tomorrow's another day.
I recently discovered your videos when I watched the one with Jim Davidson. The enthusiasm you have for boats is infectious. I found it extremely relaxing to just watch the videos with the gentle music in the background and the bucolic scenic views. I might rent a boat in Dartmouth for the day (based on one of your suggestions) and take the wife for a trip. I can see now why marinas are so packed with such a variety of big and small boats. There is certainly a lifestyle aspect to it that is very enjoyable. I am not sure sure about the expense but hey, that's life, you cannot take it with you. :-)

Brilliant, you don't get commentators like that anymore. 👍🇬🇧
All those spectator boats, can't see that happening today, HSE would have a proper hissy fit 😂. Nick if you ever get then chance to review a classic Fairey please do, was great to watch that modern Supermarine.
Awesome retro video footage thanks Nick 🙏
Had that boat for sale a while back, great to see it looking good
That was awesome! Love old boats. Thanks Nick! Cheers 🍻
I don't understand how people can thumbs down this and any other of Nick's videos. Awesome vid as usual!
You're very kind :)
It's such an idyllic life , people must have a little envy ?
These videos are the essence of why we all love boating, real people and real boating that we can all relate to. Great job.
Thank you very much!
What a great little video, really shows what boating should be all about, fun, relaxing and exploring.
Glad you enjoyed it
I completely share your love of silence. Not having music blasting out that someone else has "selected" is bliss. Lovely video. Thanks for sharing the silence!
It's sadly becoming harder to find...
Even though I'm not a boat owner I can see how much pleasure one can get from cruising Britain's coastline and relaxing in a quiet bay for a few hours. Bliss.
Thank you, Nick & Marion for taking us with you x
Thanks for coming! :)
Well, I think I speak for all of us when I say that we deeply appreciate the toil and the sacrifice that the two of you had to endure to bring us this video. Your efforts are not in vain, and we are most grateful.
It's a dirty job, etc...
@@AQUAHOLIC Well, I can't think of anyone who deserves that job more. 👍
Thanks for taking us along. Filming gets better every-time. Great scenes and impressions.
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely love aquaholic. Keep up the great work!!
You got it in one Nick, escape, not many places left but the sea . I love it 👍
The "lesser known" Munros, Corbetts, Grahams and Hughs (the four types of Scottish hills) are the other places to escape. I managed to get myself nicely sunblushed.... and swarmed by clegs.
I think it is very generous of Marianne to allow Nick to take the helm. Beautiful location. Really impressed with the cleanliness of Darthaven Marina.
4:25 I looooove that you let us enjoy your ride over the water. A sequence w/o off text, w/o music, just pure enjoying. Thanks!
08:09 And thank you for letting us join that escape and silence.
Now that is a perfect day on the boat at sea. Thanks for sharing 😎✌🏻
Always an uplifting experience for a land locked non boater, dreaming of this LIFESTYLE! Thank you guys
Our pleasure!
Awesome intro and video as a whole! Nick and Marianne you both are true ambassadors of boating!!
Thank you :)
I learned to sail and got my competent crew certification in Dartmount circa 1994, on a five-day course, a lovely spot.
Beautiful lunch spot and I was almost nodding off in the afternoon sun with you, so relaxing, thanks, Nick and Marianne!
Thanks for bring us along, Nick. Absolutely wonderful!
You're very welcome! :)
What a lovely relaxed lifestyle in a very beautiful location. Lovely video Nick thanks for sharing with us.
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks like great fun Nick… enjoy your time on the water! Thanks as always.
Just lovely! Cannot wait for parts 2 & 3! What a fantastic release from the daily grind! Thank you as always
Glad you enjoyed it!
You've gone and done it - so much to say, yet I'm without words. Thank you...
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Nick! You would honestly think you were abroad with that scenery. Beautiful place that is
Hello. Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Living the dream, keep on enjoying it but most of all keep on sharing it with the rest of us Aquaholicers
Fantastic time by the looks of it. Envious again. Looked so relaxing. Loved the look of your pub grub. Keep up the hard work.
Thanks, will do! :)
What a great video, thank you both for taking me along. Stunning views, great escape. Stay safe, take care.
Glad you enjoyed it! Part 2 tomorrow
Have a great weekend
What a fantastic weekend you are having. Really fancy trying sea boating. We love the torquay area. Many thanks from Chris and Jane
So jealous. Absolutely love Dartmouth and the surrounding area and what a way to see it and spend time there.
Lovely video, lovely couple 😎

Brilliant stuff.
'We're busy doing nothing working the whole day through trying to find lots of things not to do' looks fab sooo envious.
That looks like so much fun. Thanks for brightening my week. It’s like being part of one of those calm app stories. Love it 😍
It must be fun going out on the water with you Nick because you can probably name every single boat you see going by!
Oh wow! First swim off the stern of Smugglers Blues. Summer _truly_ has arrived.
I do so want to make it over there sometime. You just stroll around and there’s history and classics everywhere. Fascinating.
This looks absolutely amazing. I'm a boat person without a boat, but one day maybe. :)
Go for it! :)
Me too, my family generally weren't boaters but I share so many traits with my grandad and he owned 3 over his life. Just wished Surrey mortgages weren't so expensive so I fear even at 45, I will need to wait a few more years.
I really enjoy these types of video's. It makes boating more accessible for everyone.
Another lovely day. Thanks for bringing us along
Glad you enjoyed it
Nick you are such an inspiration! I love sailing and boating and in your videos I can absolutely feel your joy to this topic! Love your videos, greetings from Austria!
Hey there Austria! :)
Amazing intro! Also these videos are my favourite
Glad you like them! I always worry they might be a little too self-indulgent
We are very busy doing this... Proceeds to show total relaxation. Simply perfect.
For the first time I decided to see your articles on Motor boat and yachting (the text, not the videos) and have to say your writing is very consistent! Great work!
Glad you like them!

Yes I second that👍only just found the channel couple of days ago. Looks so much fun☺️
@@George5Bells Welcome! :)

How lovely does that look! The quietness was outstanding!
Once again another great video that truly captures the ambience of boating 😎😎

Anyone prepared to do that to themselves is a bit mad! :)
Thank you for sharing your weekend, liked your sense of urgency the best lol
Your pizza looked good too!

Brings back holiday memories, Paignton to Kingswear on the steam train then crab fishing in Dartmouth. Glorious.

Dude you and your wife look so happy and nice. Good on you!
Just idyllic, difficult to imagine anything more glorious than a sunny day on a boat in South West England. I'm definitely getting a hankering for a taste of this!
The editing on this is top-notch, it really tells a whole narrative with the cuts. It has a real dramatic scene. Well done and very entertaining.
You're very kind :)
Utterly Brilliant, insightful & Interesting video, well done and thank you Nick & Marianne.
Glad you enjoyed it
And a glimps of a beautiful Aston Martin DB6 thrown in as a bonus.

Thanks nick and Marianne for another great video 😀😀👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Completely sold the life to me. Life goals soon to be re thought
Excellent video and some stunning scenery. Good job I watched to the end as I was going to say, Nick you may need to look for your own boat if you ever want to drive again but it was nice to see Marianne let you have a go. 😎
Fascinating and wholesome video! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So relaxing 😊. I love watching you both having great fun ! Great seeing Smugglers Blues 2 in action again. Lovely location and great weather ! What a great life you both have 😊
