$9.25M Superyacht Sea Trial : Princess Y85 

At this point after all you've done for the Princess Yacht brand, they should just gift you one.

Nick was like a kid in a candy store with a ten dollar bill, maximum excitement and enjoyment off the charts.

Lord knows how you drag yourself out of bed in the morning doing such an arduous job :)

Princess is the rolls Royce of yachts. The quality and fit and finish is impeccable. Extraordinarily lovely piece of kit!

I always wondered what it must feels like traveling around on a yacht like this. I imagine it makes you feel like a billion dollars.....similar to the feeling of being on a private jet. The experience alone is probably a memory for a life time. You are 1 lucky bastard! Enjoy the moments my friend.....u deserve it!

The wait is over, another million dollar superyacht in aquaholic

The helmsman was very polite and good in his answers, easy to understand way to explain what was happening and how things worked

Finally, after all of the luxury yacht walkthroughs, someone had the brilliant idea to show a yacht underway from the helm with a professional captain. Not just that he also gave us views from the cabin and we could have a better in-depth experience. Kudos to AQUAHOLIC you have accomplished something that I believe no other channel has. Well done mate and thank you and by the way would we be able to see more because it was quite enjoyable?

Full marks to the marketing lady for getting you in a Princess mask, you missed a trick there Nick and should have had them all wearing Aquaholic socks! What a great day out, nice to see Fowey and Plymouth in glorious weather, last time I was down on Mountbatten quay it was chuckling it down.

"It's a helluva way to travel" It's early on in the year but might hold up as understatement of the year...

Now your talking! The new Y85 is a beautiful yacht indeed. I really like the people at Princess, from concept & design (great patience is their super power) to the QC/QA men and women all over the world. A brilliant way to start your 2021 season! Most people only see a yacht at rest or running at 5Kt which is much quieter than once underway. As we say in the colonies “Bloody good show Ron...”

I spent 6 years going to sea in naval craft, from training tenders up to destroyers - there is nothing quite like an accelerating high pitched whine of turbo diesels, or the 25K HP gas turbines. That turbo whistle and hum sent shivers down my spine, right down memory lane. Thanks for the great content!

I keep trying to find a "new favorite" yacht when watching this channel, yet every time I see the Y85 it shoots right back up to my #1. It is simply perfect.

As much as I love the walk through tours at dock, this is the real deal. No knick knacks. No profusion of throw pillows. We can see readily enough how luxurious and sexy she is without all that. Getting to see performance, and having a go at the helm station. *That* puts us in the head of the potential owner of this machine, not his or her taste in vases. Princess kicks ass, not only for their down to earth people, but for their seaworthiness, and letting us really see that. The port and starboard sides of the boat are very well protected, and it got nice and quiet when they closed the sliding glass, which is at the stern, where it belongs, IMO. Thanks, Nick, for bringing us this.

Princess really did well having you do vids like this and the X95. Congrats to you Nic and well done Princess marketing team!!!

Watched this video ( part 1 and 2) in the cinema in the basement....enjoyed every minute of it, also nice hearing the engines (turbo's) ... That's part of the fun...

Oh my...Maggie and Jacques sitting zip to zip in the cockpit...it is nearly spring, and love is in the air? 😜😁

"It's absolutely glorious!" - best moment just hearing/seeing you in full glory!!!

Been busy all day and all I can think about is getting back to watch Aquaholic and yet another beautiful Princess 😷😎👏👏😷

You might be Princess' best ambassador. I also think you need to be on The Grand Tour. POWER!

Nick when the captain opened it up you looked like a kid in a candy store! 😀✌️

i guess online class can wait!!

Brilliant Nik and Thankyou to Princess Yachts. Mighty fine vessel. I hope that all who sail in her do so safely and in good health.

Love the sound of the ENGINES!!! Piston Power Sounds so GOOD!!

Impressive skipper backing out of that birth and still talking to you at the same time. 😬🛥

Captain's Log: Just approaching Fowey. Everything going well. Counter to our assumptions, Nick hasn't been annoying at all.

7:45 when those big engines start flexing their muscles!!

Nicholas Burnham, you sir have a charmed life! What a cracking video, and what a way to spend a day out, a trip on the briony in a true thing of beauty, that is the Y85. Excellent.

I remember when you were walking around a harbour in Majorca Spain, and you were walking along where all the boats were parked. I was on holiday in one of those boats at the time. And when I watched your video a few days later, I got so excited that my boat was in one of your videos.

Wow - we see what it's like moving, thanks Nick

The minute princess announced this yacht before one was built with computer imaging I new instantly it will be one of the most beautiful yachts ever made under 100feet! Just had to wait 9 months to see a walkthrough at dussuldorf! What a stunning machine! #number1princess! Forget the rest!

A year ago my pub shut down because of covid, i discovered your channel and got very much inspired. After suffering a burglary on the first night and losing half my pubs stock i decided to turn into batman and 6 weeks later i found the burglar, broke his nose and felt a sense of relief I'd never felt before. After that i found myself sat in an empty pub thinking "what do i do now" and after a couple of drinks i come accross your channel and was just hooked with wanting this life. The big trend at the time was facemasks so i spent the only couple of grand i had on some sewing machines and turned the pub into a small sweatshop creating facemasks to survive, it worked and it helped to save the pub get through this time but then that went flat, by the time i got started and sold the masks i had two good months before the market was really flooded with masks and it was over, back to square one. Since then I've made a couple of online businesses that went nowhere but i took it as a big learning curve, took my mistakes and now I'm on course in my belief to actually own some property and my own princess . I keep watching your videos for inspiration, i just want it, i want it badly.

Will never get bored of watching the wash out the back... What a machine. 🤤

The low sound and spray are hypnotic. What a craft!

More, please! Listening to the turbos spooling up on those engines when the Skipper opened the taps is just awesome. This is one of the best videos you have done, Nick. Great to be on board when its running at full chat. What a boat!

I am totally in love with the Princess yachts...❤. Absolutely beautiful !!

You’ve surpassed yourself here! One of THE great RU-vid videos!!!!! Bloody magnificent!!! Loved every second! Gotta love midday Fridays! 🕛 Thank you and Princess 👑 Marvellous

I love the normal tours, but this was fascinating to see one underway. And what a beautiful part of the country, who needs the med!

Thank you for the virtual ride Nick. You did enjoy the ride on this beautiful Princess Y85. Take care.

You know it's going to be a good day when your favorite RU-vidrs upload new videos to their channels.

Hearing those engines rev up has just made my day

I don't have enough WOWS to say how much I like that boat !!

Ah, what a thing to wake up to. This might hold me over for a bit, but I can't wait to properly get back to the 60-90' range! Thanks for sharing this with us, Nick.

Love the styling of the Princess range, especially the Y85 and the V models.

0:50 “100th of a second” is centisecond. Sir Nick, Thxs again for an entertaining & informative Production 🇺🇸👍

I love these sea trial videos, could you do more in the future?

I really enjoyed the Y85 tour, and I very much enjoyed this sea trial! Great to see they put the boat through it’s paces so it’s the highest of quality. Lovely one today Nick! 🙂

Simply stunning.That goes for the Y85 and the scenery.You're a lucky man Nick👍

10,000 views in the first 2 hours, I feel a negotiation of a V40 could be had 😉 As much as I enjoy looking at the 100ft plus yacht tours, this is still my number 1 choice, gorgeous.

I had this on headphones - just to immerse myself in the sounds you were getting and once those saloon doors were closed - nothing, the soundproofing is excellent. There was a barely perceptible hum from the cabin head you went into but that’s all. Out on deck though is a different story, those engines at full chat were glorious as was the noise from displacing all that sea. Thank you for sharing this experience.

Beautiful boat, beautiful pictures the only thing missing possibly is a bit of drone footage, I know you give us the world and we ask for the moon as well !

and Rock N Roll. Great video. This is how you turn an almost boater into a sea dog. Fantastic!

23:30 “Just a big RIB innit?” Love it!!

This is more like it Nick - that's an absolute beaut! Cheers for the run out!

That Y85 sounds and looks incredible, i want one. Great video keep them coming. 😀👍🏻

Absolutely stunning, gorgeous, beautiful machine. Sweet Princess, indeed! Just listen to the turbos spooling! Good God! POWEEEER!!! Thanks for bringing back the super yachts and super long videos. Cheers!

love the sound of those MAN 1900hp beasts spooling up the turbos, sweet!

It’s amazing to see something that big and pristine move as quickly through the water as it did. Truly something I want to experience in real life 🛥 thanks Nick!

Ahh Nick this has got to be one of your best yacht tours yet because not only did you show us the best of the boat but we got to go out with you and experience what it would be like to be on board with you, Also we can see your smile even through your Princess mask so thanks for sharing and have a great day bud

You are a lucky boy Nick - and what a day to choose. Fowey is my favourite harbour, by a country mile!

Nick, that's an excellent piece of work, sooooo immersive, soooooo interesting 👍 The skipper is an awesome guy, knowledgeable, friendly and totally in control, that crew are amazing, just the sort of people you'd want looking after you and your ship. Thank you Princess for allowing some time to forget all the crap and to dare to dream!

Love the sound off the engines

The effort you make with video to show off these boats is absolutely awesome. Lol I always felt like yachts like these are like exotic sports cars. They introduce themselves and the buyer already knows what they're looking for.

This was one of your best videos yet. Well done!

It’s interesting to see other people on the boat because it really shows the massive size of this yacht. Great video!

So prestigious, you can tell why it’s called “Princess”. The crew looked extremely professional.

Great to see you on the water Nick doing what you do best. Great yacht from Princess some gorgeous scenery.

Hi Nick, We used to travel from Torquay to Fowey on the Princess 56 you sold us. Great times and a lovely place to visit for the evening. What an amazing feeling for you to experience the power of these magnificent yachts on a calm sunny day. Keep it up Nick!!

What dreams are made of. ❤️❤️❤️

This video is perfect !!! This is the boat of my dreams, it’s the one I want to own! Just love the layout and that the lower helm can be fully isolated. It’s just perfect. Thank you so much for taking us along for the ride !!! Just makes me want it even more now xx

Fowey & Polruan.. some of my most favourite places in the world! A trip there on a beautiful boat like this, on a gorgeous sunny day is my ultimate dream. Thank you for this video. Enjoyed it very much!

Lucky man, Nick, Princess calls up and asks you if you want to take a ride on a Y85!!!!! Nice work!!!! :-)

What a really fantastic video - more of these please Nick! Being on the boat for a sensible journey really brings these magnicifent beasts alive......want / need!

Look at how that “thing” moves through the water!! Incredible!! Great video Nick, keep it up!! 👍👍👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺👏👏👏

I bloody love your excitement and passion for these boats, Nick! In times like these it’s nice to see someone having fun taking it all in 👍

Fantastic boat. Can't wait to see the X85

pure Saturday escapism. Almost felt I was on the boat, just a shame I wasn't!

Great Vlog and beautiful boat 🚢 👍! Love seeing these under power and being able to see how the wake breaks along the boat and how it sounds under load! Surprisingly quiet by the exhaust not only idling but at speed as well. Pretty quiet inside as well but I think I would add some spray sound deadening and acoustic membrane in the engine room to make it even better and get rid of the slight drone in the master cabin and bathroom! Good hull design that doesn't cause a lot of wave "slapping" along the sides. Impressive yacht! Hope we see a lot more of you doing yachts out on the water!

29:35 ❤️turbos spooling down out of Warp Drive

What a beautiful yacht! I love these kinds of sea trials videos. It really feels like we are right there with you!!

I work at MAN Nuremberg, where the engines are manufactured. It makes me really proud to see how well they're running. 😀👍

After all the support and nicety of Princess, If I ever win big on the Lotto I know which company gets my order and I love flybridges.

Another tough day at the office for you, Nick. Great video, thanks for sharing!

Well this is not the winter weather UK is known for. Beautiful boat!

That is one fantastic boat. Princess sure does a fine job.

Crikey, it must be serious you bought both bags. That’s the mark of a man who has the eye for detail 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The best part of the whole video is knowing that is more to come! Thank you Nick and thank you Princess! :D

The Y85 is just amazing. Thanks for another professional and great video Nick.

Been waiting for this :D

Every part of that was stunning. Princess would certainly be my choice - hopefully one day. And the Cornish coast of course shows why go boating.

Sort of AQUAHOLIC MEETS CAPTAIN'S VLOG. Great look at a pre-delivery check. Uh-Oh! Jack the Sack and Maggie the Baggie side by side on a couch. Clutch purses to follow? Handsome gauge electronics package on this new yacht! Splendid Princess design and finish. AND THE HIGHLIGHT: WONDERFUL video images of a powerful yacht under motion on a lovely day!

I love Princess. Owning one would be a dream come true. They seem like a really cool company too.

Great video keep the work up

This is a video I have waited so long for and you have certainly only just gone and absolutely nailed the content and quality!!! Dream yacht and Dream person to test this yacht!!!

31 minutes and 51 seconds of boating bliss! Thanks for taking us along for the ride Nick. 👍

Nick, honestly, i see you happy and i am happy too!!!Amazing boat!

This boat is just outstandingly beautyfull!

I like how the young people work for princess and the youtuber is Nick! Typically you'd think the ages would be the other way round!

you can see why princess are number 1...beautyful yacht

Trully spectacular video. Love it, shows how the other half lives, would love to see more open sea trips
