£147,000 Yacht Tour : Duchy 27 

Who else doesnt boat but is addicted to these vids?

I’ve never heard a phrase more British than “These are built by Cockwells down in Cornwall”

Looking smart as an Admiral's Launch - get too near a Frigate and you'll be saluted. What a sweet craft. After an evening meal at home, then a quick drive to the boat and you're off for the most relaxing time of the day. No fuss to get fired up and ready, this boat has simplicity of operation with details that would have any Admiral feeling comfortably secure. Or make it a Friday night and spend a weekend. Or float through your Summer holiday - many a proper adventure await.

Anyone else feels this is a really cute boat?

I'm like "I can spend months on this boat" when you say it has potential for a weekend... Slept for 2 weeks on a 14 foot open boat during rainy weather in Denmark this summer, anything is possible haha

It sounds expensive for what it is but the amount of man hours and craftsmanship is fantastic

What a lovely boat, ideal for the Broards.

Omg Love the traditional styling the lines just a fabulous yacht.

Very nice little vessel always been fond of these classic looking proper bits of English engineering and boat building

Beautiful. That tool drawer is geek porn.

Lovely Boat can see Mr and Mrs Holic with the picnic hamper and champagne cruising along the Thames past Hampton court.

Lovely wee boat and perfect for cruising Loch Lomond near to where I live.

Not normally my style but I really like this... She’s got a proper ‘Dunkirk Little Ship’ feel, in fact if I was lucky enough to have this boat I’d name her ‘Spirit of Dunkirk’... lovely! Thanks Nick, enjoyed that!

THIS boat would be so fun!

Really lovely boat.

Good looking fishing boat.

Quite a nice first boat. Those boys from Cockwells would fit right in with the boatbuilders here in New England.

a real boat with a lot of character and a bit of charm thrown in ....thanks for sharing Nick

Say, can one just buy the tool drawer? My OCD went into overdrive, that alone would be worth buying this sweeping curved beauty.

The BEST of straightforward boating! Quality throughout; practicality...ditto!

I love those retro boats

Thats a nice boat its so simple and good looking

I really like that little boat. Not practical for my needs, but a really cool and stylish boat. Thanks for showing us around. 👍

Very Proper !! Excellent attention to the little details.

Lovely boat. Thank you, Nick!

Great to see a tour of a boat that is a similar size to my viking 26, albeit its a lot posher.

Lovely little boat... Thanks Nick..

Lovely little boat, on the higher price-scale, but it looks great 😁 Thanks!

When I first saw the thumbnail my impression was that this is a lot of money for a dumpy looking boat. But, seeing the rest of the video I realised that I was totally wrong! What a great looking boat with so much well made stuff packed into 27 foot vessel. It’s easily seen that this is quality workmanship and well designed and I really like it. Certainly a serious contender in my humble opinion. Glad to see this video, thanks.

The dark blue colour makes the boat look very classy.

Lovely boat Nick. My grandfather was a shipwright and worked on Sir Malcolm Campbell's yacht "The Blue bird IV" that was launched from the Goole dock yards. I do remember him showing me some dove tail joints and other wood work skills that he used to do. Lovely to see the craft work in modern boats still happening. Thanks for the video.

Hi Nick that big tool kit gives food for thought

Superb woodwork with proper hinges which you don't see very often these days even on Super yachts.

I won't lie, I've slept in worse places, I could see myself doing a weekend on that. Great tour...again

Very nicely put together boat

The dovetails on the tool drawer tell you everything you need to know about the quality of the boatbuilders' work.

Hooray, an Aquaholic video in the first day of lockdown 3. Thank you.

Lovely Jubbly, Nice and Simple! No Farting-about with Engine far down in a Dungeon. Easy Jump-in Day-out or Weekender. Electric Toilet flush, too... 200hp Engine - SOLD! LOL. Thanks Nick. Anchor locker Location, please.

That's just a cute little boat! It even has a nice little galley! I'm 6'3" so it might not be the most comfortable interior for me, but this isn't for cruising the fjords in the wintertime. Very nice!

I could have Yacht solutions fit a hoist point on it so I can use it for a tender on my superyacht. Thanks for another dream. I like it!

These Duchy Boats are beautiful very elegant with a timeless look. I am very impressed with this 27. Great Vid Nick Cheers

I like the look of that S37 two spaces down, my dream boat in realistic terms.

Lovely boat

Thanks for the review Nick. I love that you do all price ranges of boats/yachts.

Wow this brings back memories,my Grandfather owned a boat near enough identical to this,he used to keep it on Instow beach, in Devon where he lived,spent many a happy summers there as a child,thanks for this 😊

I'm more of sailboats kind of person than a motor yachts enthusiast, but this boat is perfect. Top 10 on the channel for me.

Great little vessel. We call this style a "downeast" here in the states. I spent many a day and night on a Fortier 26' on the Intracoastal waterway. If you ever get a chance to run about on a Fortier they are excellent. Not quite as lavish but still beats rowing.

I do love Duchy boats, they are like miniature super yachts to me. All the "class & style at a fraction of the size. 👌

Beautiful boat that really represents a romanticised ideal of boating...

You need to take jack and maggie out on a date. Lol Poor jack never sees any action. Lol. Another great vlog Nick. Keep them coming Appreciate the effort you got through you to keep is updated on great toys. Thank you.

Lovely little piece of kit

147 grand,that shaft drive better me solid palladium. Lovely boat but I would definitely buy something second hand and bigger at that money. Great video as always,my wife thinks I'm daft as a brush describing our toilet as the heads and our bedroom as the aft portside cabin. I spent many years at sea and only have a refinn 6m at the moment but it still gets me on the water.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A beautiful boat, and interesting builder. Thanks Nick.

My neighbor, a wonderful eccentric with a predilection to get into every possible hobby bought a steel hulled boat not unlike this one, he completely stripped it down and was halfway through when he moved onto other hobbies. It sat outside in his front yard for many years, in a half-finished state until he finally put a "for sale" sign on it and it was gone in a matter of weeks, always wondered what happened to that boat.

If money was no object this would make a fantastic first boat, what a beauty!

The ultimate James May boat 😂 Thanks for the tour!

Classy little rig.

Very pretty boat with good solid artisan skills to the fore like the dovetail joints.

I think the proper woodworking was Dovetail Joints. Nice to see.

Love you Aquaholic!!! From Aussie😉

Lovely little day / river boat.

Love these kind of boats! Sir I once again thank you for all that work, you're absolutely unmatched!

Lovly boat. It got All what you need

In 1973 my parents bought a Thunderbird 23' cathedral hull. It was exactly what the ranger boat on the American TV show Flipper used. This reminds me of that boat but the Thunderbird's top speed was 43 knots. We went down from a 43 foot wood fishing boat and we used it for commercial long line fishing that could be trailered behind a big pickup truck. It looks like a smart fishing boat, not a yacht at all. Very nice boat!

Stylish little boat! Amazing woodwork. Looks good! Cheers!

you know what? if i couldnt afford the Dutchy 35, I would not feel this Dutchy 27 is much of a compromised, half of the price, but not half of boat, smaller portions but this boat basically have anything you need to have fun over the weekend, or even week, stunning, please bring more of these boats to the channel Nick, happy new year !

It IS a lovely little boat Nick! It would look wonderful here cruising down the St Lawrence River here in the 1000 Islands in the summer. (Most of it is frozen over this time of year). 😉😁🇨🇦

I think this would definitely work on the Thames. Complete with a Trilby and a glass of wine. Sublime

Holy moly, that is a gorgeous boat.

Love the craftsmanship, left hand steering, fun boat for a small family crew.

Hi Nick, Maggie! Great boat..would love to see it with air conditioning....I like your boat much better

Nice boat a lot of details. Like the access to the motor and the tools

Nice Vlog 👍and good looking day cruiser. I like the natural looking wood with the blue and white interior. You can tell they put some of thought into little details like the tool drawer, coffee mug holders, and the fitment of everything, especially on the front deck with the way the wood floor strips had smooth corners and rounded shapes that blended into each other and not just flat squared off and angled edges. This looks like it should be sitting with some old Chris Craft Constellations and Runabouts alongside it!

Really nice little boat excellent craftsmanship throughout 👍🏻

Super little craft, and built to last

Hi Nick. Thats a beautiful boat, top quality British craftsmanship for a duchy of Cornwall HRH. Stunning walnut cabinets, leather, and teak decking. Nanni engines are very economical. Awesome walkthrough tour thanks 😊

lovely boat. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy access to the engine is. Fabulous woodworking. What a great weekender. Thanks Nick!

I love that boat, it’s a little beauty 👍 Am sure it’s not cheap as it’s built so well, such great craftsmanship but wonderful to look over something that’s more down to earth. Thanks Nick

Great little boat! Tool drawer closing was one of the best I've seen! Be sure to mention the brass clock, always a nice touch ;)

Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Beautiful Spalted Oak Cabinetry!!!

Second watch, Nick. Found the Anchor... Thanks.

What a lovely little weekender. At first I thought the price was a bit high, but the quality is really good. Another top notch Aquaholic tour!

Neat little river cruiser :) nice.

Such beautiful boats! Love it nick!

A really nice allrounder for coastal fishing or inland or coastal touring The woodwork is absolutely amazing, compare that with the Bavaria from a few episodes ago.

Elegant!

Hopefully that might attract a 1st timer to get out on the water. What a lovely small craft and so beautifully put together by folks who care about quality, although we get to se a lot of that on here ...... quality I mean. What a fantastic boat to out fishing for the weekend with a like minder. Brilliant, thanks :)

Very nice little boat 👍

What a boat! Somehow very nostalgic feel to it. Superb finish. That toolkit did it for me hahahaha amazing. Another great video, thanks

Beautiful, the finish is very high end, these guys really are industry leading in build quality and finish, amazing value.

Proper shipwright woodworking.

I like that a lot, perfect for pottering around and just enjoying your surroundings.👍 Oh, wishing you a happy lockdown 🥳👍

I'm sold on this boat absolutely gorgeous lines and very practical for 2 people to.handle 👍👍👍

Very pretty and functional little boat. I can see having one of these in south Florida and docking it behind the house on the canal and going on short cruises to beaches and sandbars. If weather suddenly turns on you, plenty of room to comfortably spend the night.

The toolkit - take my money! Thanks for the video.

would use that for putting around Casco bay on the weekends. wicked cool boat for that price. looks like a downeastah if you ask me. thanks Nick! Nice boat

Wow the craftsmanship, what an outstanding craft, that has got to go into my top ten, absolutely lovely, I could really see myself living with that. Thank you Nick for an amazing boat tour, brilliant!

What a lovely little boat, love the blue painted hull and blue seat cushions, very smart looking! This is all I would need for a relaxing day out on the water. Thank you for the tour.

What an amazing little boat; I could certainly see myself on one of these
