£2.5 Million Yacht Sea Trial : Fairline Squadron 68 

These videos where Nick just acts like a kid with nothing but a love for boats are the best. Him leaning forward into the wind looked like a kid in a candy store. Much love Nick. Hope you had a great time out there!

What a way to start my Sunday morning! A giddy as a school child Nick taking us on a ride on a beautiful boat! Your energy and positive vibes are so refreshing in these times.

Such a beautiful boat and well played to Fairline for giving us the opportunity to see her in use 👏👏👏

Wicked FUN! thanks Nick! Your a little kid at heart! Miles is a very smart man to take us all out for a spin, he just gained 382k Aquahaulic fans! Love Fairline!

How fantastic is this? Thanks to your detailed walk-through of this FS 68, I had a pretty good sense of it, but there is nothing better than seeing Nick at the helm. Beauty of a boat!

Wow! That was an excellent tour nick as promised by yourself, I couldn't believe how quiet she was at 20+ knots, Fairline certainly know how to build a cracking yacht!

The pure joy on “Captain” Nick’s face as he pilots the boat is just great.

If you ever have a bad day, just watch one of Aquaholic's sea trial videos, and you will smile from ear to ear! These videos are so much more interesting to watch than the more professional videos out there. He is able to convey the good, positive feeling state of being on board and operate these fantastic boats. Thanks!

The best RU-vid channel in the world for yacht and boat dreamers!

Thank you so much for taking us with you I quite enjoyed the ride from the comfort of my bed.

Wow awesome Nick the smile and the expression on your face made me so happy you are a man living your dream I hope that was your maiden voyage of your new yacht

I know there are others who do yacht reviews and tours, but nobody does it better than you Nick. Your personality is Magnetic! Great video, Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for taking us along. And huge thanks to Fairline. Great fun to watch!

It was nice to see Mr.Moorehouse again.Please share my thanks for the cruise,and my compliments also.I never felt even the slightest bump.

Have been watching these videos on and off for the last 2 years. Love the enthusiasm and no one says “fantastic” like Nick. Thank you and keep the videos rolling !

I love the genuine excitement and joy in your voice as you show us around these wonderful yachts. We can tell that you're truly passionate about it, and that makes it so much more fun to watch :)

100th of a second to decide, surprised it took you that long.

I was thinking at the time how quiet she was with you saying how windy it is. Very impressed with it.

What a thrill. This is where it's happening. The smiles, the tailwave and the feeling of power and freedom. More of this please :D Thank you Nick, I had a blast :)

I've no experience of boats this large, so maybe it's ordinary, but I was impressed by how smooth the ride appeared to be in those sea conditions. Miles and crew were having no problem just standing around without holding on to anything. Thanks for the ride, Nick!

Best decision! and great of Fairline to make this possible!

Having spent all day antifouling my (much smaller) boat, this was perfect to watch. Bring on warm weather, smooth seas and lots of boating 🎉

Aloha; couldn't help get the impression that you are "mildly" excited with this development! Brilliant! Mahalo

I really applaud you for your constant love of boating. In every video, you show such passion for the boats you review. You are a very lucky man. Respect also to Fairline for making such a fantastic boat.

So interesting to see one of those boats on the move. Incredible how smooth and quiet it is at speed.

What a fantastic video Nick. Real treat for you. Your face said it all. Boys and their toys. That’s truly an amazing machine. When they’re docked you struggle to imagine the speeds they can actually go. Today you demonstrated it. Try incredible. Thanks Nick

Thanks Nick what a fantastic clip! I thought you going to miss the master cabin shot but you didn’t extra thanks for that!!!

Huge thanks to Fairline! Very nice sea trial. I am not one for rough water, but the yacht handled it very well. Now if I can just get my land eyes back, I'll be doing good. 😆

Loved this, made me smile and laugh multiple times. Seeing the yacht speed through those waters quite a demonstration of it not just being beautiful vehicle, but powerful too.

And a Hugh thanks to Nick for bringing this nice Sea trail of this Fairline Squadron 68 what a boat I hope you get a change to more of those sea trails Nick they are super to see thank again

Like clockwork can always depend on you on a Sunday night (Aus) , Thank you Nick!! I think you and David are the best at your craft.

What an absolute flying machine Nick! The contrast between the quiet, comfortable interior vs the exhilarating, exciting exterior is fantastic! What a superb boat that just delivers & delivers… a fabulous Fairline!!! 😍

Love the sea trials, they are fun indeed and the smile on AQUAHOLIC's face was fantastic. Thanks, AQUAHOLIC and Fairline for bringing us along for the adventure

Absolute delight to see that grin on your face; only a kid in a sweetshop would smile more!

Watching Nick grinning like a little boy makes my day every time :D

its a great perspective to actually see people on the inside of a boat of this size, Your tour alone does not give an accurate idea of how much space there is for a person to move around in, the camera lens distorts the dimensions. You said Fantastic 3 times, it was like having Murray Walker back amongst us!

Oh man you made me wait until the very end to see the master cabin view, the whole video I was hoping you would head down there and you didn't disappoint! Thanks for another great video!

I didn't expect to see a sea trial from Fairline. That was fantastic! Thanks Nick and Fairline!

Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks for another awesome video!

Great seeing you out on Southampton Water and nice to have it nearly to yourselves. Looked extremely comfortable..

Delighted for you Nick to get that opportunity to be master of that vessel.

Back at the sea trials. You looked so happy when you gave the boat some throttle..lol. Hopefully, we will see you do more trials. Thx for taking us along Nick :0)

With a yacht this size, is there a speaker system that the captain can announce when he or she will bring boat to cruise so no one goes head over heals. This yacht is beauty. It’s nice to see her in motion. Two footitis sure surprises me. So much boat than a 54 I saw not too long ago. I’d love to steer this baby.

Great video! Awesome of Fairline to take you out on the yacht. Your excitement and passion at being on the boat is so fun to see....brings a smile.

Thank you Nick, the boat is fabulous and I really enjoyed the way you walked us through it, your enthusiasm is infectious 🙂

The boat really is super easy to operate. I like the one level cockpit/galley/salon/helm layout. The openness and ability to bring light in and still be completely protected is amazing. I would like to see a small head on the fly though. Maybe along side the opening the stairs come up so the heads door would be just to the left of the stairs as you face them. The captain would have to walk back towards the stern down the stairs then forward towards the bow then down more stairs and then back. Way to inconvenient for a three million dollar yacht.

Love it! Hope you get to do more of these as much as I love the tours, seeing them in action is fantastic. Thank you, Nick and Fairline.

So nice to see this beautiful boat in what would be, for us here on the Giant’s Causeway Coast of Northern Ireland, a pretty ‘normal’ sea state! Sea spray and rollers!! Great.

I was not expecting a sea trial and what a great one it is! Brilliant thanks for showing us Nick.

That was epic Nick, the first time I’ve appreciated what these boats are all about.

Thank you Nick. You make us feel as of we are right there with you !

This truly made me smile to see you enjoying yourself so much ❤

I love that view out of the cabin window at the end.

Great Vlog👍and great boat 🚢! You're really in your element when you're out in the elements! 😄

Good start to the year Nick. It doesn't get much better than that!

Fantastic Nick .... !!!! .... Your enthusiasm makes it all the more enjoyable ...

Fantastic Nick. So good of them to take you out on it. Great yacht

Thanks Nick! I'm so glad you get to have fun on your truly enviable job! Your enjoyment is definitely contagious! Thanks again!

Could watch this over and over... Love it

Former owner of fairline 55 loved her truly. Had a break from boats since covid sold her. But seeing this I'm tempted to raid the 🐷 Bank shed be a treat in the Irish sea in the summer ☀️

Absolutely lovely and deeply refreshing! Thank you for sharing this joyful moment with us. 💐

Thanks Miles! You now have 380,000 new friends :)

Epic, indeed! Right place at right time. What a thrill! Loving everything Fairline!

The word “fantastic!” Should now be added to the aquaholic bingo card. 🤣

Please keep making sea trial videos. I love watching these yachts in action!

Tbh that I very much like it , it’s up there with sunseeker and princess yachts

I am laughing so hard because you are like a kid with a new toy! Truly in your element!!! Love your show! God bless!!!!

Love the effortless sound of the Cats. Love the idea that its something other than a MAN or a VP powering this craft.

What a way to spend a chilly Sunday!

Thank you Fairline. Good guys. And girls (of course).

Looks like you were haveing fun Nick 😄. Yet another fantastic video. Thanks for taking us along for a ride on this brmeautidul boat.

Absolutely Epic, got such a buzz from watching that, can't image how it must have been... 👍🏻👏

Nice! Great video of the ride. Thanks much Nick. ps wow you're closing in on a half of a million subs, well done!👍😃

Ha!Ha! Brilliant! It was only a short time ago watching the review on this Fairline and now we are treated to a sea trial. 🙂 Too much fun Nick, hope to catch another sea trial soon, cheers! 🛥

Outstanding video,thank you for taking us along.

Nick, your joy makes my day! Thank you for sharing this with us.

Great video Nick. It is so amasing when you take us for sea trial. if i could, i would take a boat for a spin myself.

Beautiful boat. Thanks for giving those of us without the means to get on one ourselves the ability to enjoy them vicariously!

You look like a little kid looking at a Christmas tree full of presents on Christmas morning glad you're having fun keep it up Nick love you

Brilliant presentation, Nick. Enjoyed the sea trial!!

I really enjoy watching you enjoy what you're doing cheers

That microphone was worth every penny!

The title of the video should be "Nick, age 5, goes boating!" Epic! :D

You are like a kid in a candy shop. I am so jealous. That looked like tremendous fun. Brilliant video. Keep them coming.

Nick you lucky man! May we all find a passion to share....

It’s great to see how joyful you are to be back on the water!

Great video Nick the smile on your face was a fantastic.

EPIC 🥳 the excitement is not lost in your enthusiasm.

Great video! Loved seeing the instrumentation while underway... Looks like fun!

Fairline have done it again with this super yacht. Wonderful just wonderful.

Brilliant video Nick, looked exhilarating and what a machine the Squadron is. Very envious of you day out. 👏👏👍

Great boat, thanks!

Only 2.5 million Nick, what are you waiting for. Beautiful boat for you & the Mrs.👍🙏

What an awesome machine , something I can only ever dream of owning

The level of excitement is just captivating great video man keep it up

Thank you Nick, watching your videos lets me live my dream through you, for the time being at least until i can make it a reality. please keep being you and keep showing the sheer joy and enthusiasm that being around boats gives you.

She definitely handles that choppy sea with ease! Those lowered chimes must help in some way I'd guess! Only issue I have with this stunning fairline 68 is the galley and dianette seating is to big and long ! It's a huge galley for size of vessel! It has eaten into the saloon seating area! I always say build the boat around the saloon not put the saloon into the boat as an after thought! You spend 30 minutes for breakfast 30 minutes for lunch and say 45 minutes for dinner! That's 1 hour and 45minutes daily usage! The rest of the time is enjoying the water and sitting in saloon in the morning for an hour and 4 to 5 hours at night! Shorten the galley length and dianette seating and enlarge the saloon! It's a 3 to 4 cabin yacht you want to sit 8 comfortably watching tv or talking! That saloon seating looks like 6 maximum watching tv ! Maybe even 5! The slightly older princess f68 saloon seating is much larger and dianette slightly smaller from viewing every yacht on RU-vid I can find! Most builders are not building boat around saloon! Princess and azimut are standouts when it comes to saloon size maximised then boat built around that! But don't get me wrong fairline build high high quality machines with stunning woodwork and detail! One of my favorite yachts is the older fairline 65 squadron with aft saloon and galley midship with tv viewing down or raised up! The older princess 56 fly to me is the ultimate owner operation! Not to big can get into any marina and not to small! It's saloon is big for its size and does not have saloon as dinning as well so separate dinning and saloon! Thanks Nick the only issue with your channel is it breaks our heart we have to live in hope that 7 numbers come up! Happy sailing all 🛥⚓

Nick, when asked if you'd like to take a ride on this MY. Your reply should've taken no more than a 247 zeptoseconds. one one hundredth of a second is much too slow. The FS 68 is a really nice looking small MY and it was nice to see that one didn't have to yell (in the salon area) to be heard while underway at full-throttle. The sound did seem a tad too elevated in the master suite but being directly a head of the engine room I suppose that can be forgiven. At least at this size of boat it will fit into the vast majority of overnight births as one travels. It would be great if you would do an interview with Miles Morehouse to hear his views on the MY industry. Brilliant run Nick, have a great week.

What an exciting video, thank you

Surprised you did not do the superman one arm out on the fly bridge. Great video Nick, and it’s great to see these boats out where they belong. More please ✌🏻😎
