I love the fact that you have very economical displacement speed cruising but can avoid shipping or get out the way of bad weather if you need to. Best of both worlds
Trawlers are by far my favorite type of boat, and the only ones I'd consider buying. Thank you for reviewing this one and, please, have a few more on the channel whenever possible.
I think it's awesome that Nick covers these 'smaller' boats. He is as thorough in showing them as he is with the superyachts, and he gives you a good idea of what to expect if you purchased a boat that a normal person may actually be able to afford! I also like the little asides he puts in - such as the comment about the catamaran. Great job...and thank you!
This is a yacht for someone, who is into boating and not into posing at the harbour. But to be honest.... this is the first video, where I had expected more space in the cabins on the boat.
Real boaters know the quality of this boat. Built like crap and only the styling is trawler. If it were a real trawler, it would be more reliable, and have things that are needed for long distance cruising
I love trawlers, but it seems to me that for a given length they tend to have fewer cabins. But I do absolutely love the relaxed atmosphere of them, and the laid-back pace. Of course the insane range is a nice plus, too. Torn between a trawler and a power catamaran, for my favorite. But as usual, awesome video, and great tour, from my favorite RU-vid channel!
I am so conflicted, on the one hand I love the luxury yachts that make me feel relaxed and in a holiday mood. On the other hand I feel compelled to go on voyages and exploring with these trawler/explorers. Must be on account of you just selling the experience for me. Good job on this one again, thank you.
I think what makes me laugh the most is that you always say "cool" after you show us the engine room. Your so detailed about everything else with the beauty, look at those lines, and the detail, and the engines get a cool. As a former aircraft mechanic and a retired mechanic for the US Army, I total appreciate the engine room. Love how you show everything and its place. That stuff is as important to the boat as everything else, and to me it is a beautiful if not more at times than the rest of the boat. But I love how you finish the engine room tour with your signature "cool". Thanks for the videos..
Another great video by a boat lover about boats. The trawlers look so inviting and work they way I learned boat are supposed to work when I was young. Like going home.
I love trawlers. This is a fabulous price for a 5 year old yacht. Little work on the teak, a few upgrades/additions and she will be perfect. Fair winds and calm seas Nick!
Thanks to Aquaholic I got that new hobby to take my bike and ride to nearby harbours looking for boats chatting with owners. As I’m only 56 thats not old enough for a trawler but great as an retirement plan and relevant for the weather and conditions in my country
Thank you Nick for this review. The ST 44 is my apsolutly dream boat. I like the fact, that you can cruise at about 18-20kn, or cruise with 6-8kn with a fuel consumption like I now have on a 7 meter boat 😀👍
Definitely the kind of boat for a matured, well experienced sailor. Would be great fun to do an extended sea trial in really bad weather too! Thanks for the tour, Nick!
I LIKE the sturdiness of a trawler style yacht. My 'yachting dream' was to cruise the coast of Turkey and Greece...maybe even in winter...with welcome stays in ports along the way.
I love this channel. Its genius is that it's the same video every week, except that the position of the galley changes from time to time. Still, I never get bored of it.
I had a 34 swift trawler a few years ago hands down one of the best boats I have ever owned or been on. great for a day out or a week or two to away. Had to sell sadly as circumstances changed but definitely something to think about if you want to get into boating
Excellent! The mast lowered really allows for entry into small harbours. A must in the Great Lakes and canals here in North America. Inclusion of minimum height would be a bonus, Nick.
THIS is the boat I’m searching for:) I love a boat big enough to cruise for weeks at a time yet compact enough to skipper solo if desired. great content as always! Keep it up!
Just about can see this brilliant edition in the blazing sun off the coast of Pisa. But I had to double check the price of this Beneteau - subject to a positive survey. For me this is one of the best priced yachts on this channel! #sharing
As always, Nick: great video. Love the "hello sailor" pillow on the bed... Have been interested in the Swift Trawlers for a while now and I think, this may just be my new favorite boat! As a retirement plan, this could even work out: sell the house and cars, downsize to a small flat and spend the bulk of your time on your ship. What a live! At the going rate, there is even some spare cash to upgrade to propper Miele equipment.
Thank you for thinking of me,when you mentioned 'room for folding bicycles'.Come on Lottery ! I'd fly over next week for this.Just have to add a grill upstairs and a chest freezer in a hold.
OMG! It's always been Fleming for me (and still is really but 'I will never afford one) but ths Beneteau is stunning. I love it. No Portuguese bridge but I could live with that. I can't get over the price 300k for a 6 year old little ship is maddening!
Hi Nick. A great little pocket yacht. Trawler for trolling not for speed with larger tanks for longer range. Slim hull design. Value for the money. Great video thanks
Another gem Mr. Burnham! I prefer trawler type yachts as the practicality and strength appeal to me. If it is what the professional mariners use it might be a good choice. I really like the vessels that can travel thousands of kilometers rather than three hundred though. Great video!
What a superb no nonsense vessel, a truly 'liveable' proposition and this one looks to be in excellent condition. Really love the spacious flybridge and overall layout. An impressive proposition for the right buyer. Great review Nick.
The is the first time I feel you missed some stuff Nick. First, on the starboard side deck, there is a door on the aft end you can close, so spraywater won't fly into the cockpit during your cruise. And the helm seat can flip forward, or at least upward, to give some more couter space. The hinges and the latch holding it are clearly visible. Apart from that, it's a great tour anyway, as yours usually are.
Thanks Nick, another great video and this is a great example of what looks to be a very enjoyable and practical trawler yacht, thats good value for money.
Trawler-style and catamarans are my favorite because of how they're used. I think you just made my weekend! The only thing with this one, and it may be because I'm in the US (originally from Europe) but that fridge won't do for even a week out...
Thanks Nick, another excellent tour and this time you’ve chosen to show us around my favourite craft. Just love this range, think Beneteau have got it absolutely right 👍
Almost ideal.... personally, I would want the same hull and forward layout, without the rear cockpit and an aft master with an en-suite... with those engines mid mounted, I see a lot of wasted potential for accommodation..... but I am a big fan of the venerable Moonraker 36..... I’m off to get some more scratch cards 🙂
A question for you Sir Nick: In one case if money is not a question what boat/yacht would you have? On the other hand if you get the chance to choose a boat for free but you have to carry the maintenance and all which one would it be?
Great video as always Nick... Please, someday, somehow, somewhere, try to find a Bering steel yacht made in Turkey. Especially the trawler models are interesting. Thank you...
Very nice yacht! made for going anywhere at any time. and not the typical floating sundeck I like the interior and the used materials, Basic+ and functional and easy to maintain.
I want to love this line of trawlers but my hesitation is (as a non boat owning dreamer) can you really putter around for a month or two at a time with only that tiny refrigerator and no washer/dryer? Or would you just be marina hopping along the way to go onshore to resupply and wash clothes, etc?
Trawler yachts are great. That’s what I’m looking at for the future... explore the San Juan islands and the Pacific Northwest United States. My process now is to figure out what make, size, features, etc. Thanks for featuring this!
Lovely, lovely boat. Needs more cold storage. And for what I want, more fuel capacity. I really like the trawler yachts. This one is set up as more of a coastal cruiser, but that’s typical of these “swift trawlers” still make a good live aboard. Another top quality Aquaholic Tour!
Have to say it's Not a Nordhavn! Nice coastal boat not sure I would trust it in open water. An interesting mid point between a trawler and motor yacht. Thanks as always.
Nice boat for 99% of cruising where you aren't more than 40-50 miles from land at any time. Didn't see a generator, did I miss it or is it an option that goes into one of the large lazerette spaces?
As always great video with a great yacht. thank you so much sir for giving us the chance to see and know more about these great yachts. Your efforts are so soooooo appreciated.❤️
Great layout and fit and finish. I really prefer these Trawler style boats they are so much more practical . My favorite are the Nordhavn's (don't know if you have reviewed any Nordhavn's)
@@AQUAHOLIC My bad! I forgot that you reviewed the stunning 120 Nordhavn in Miami as well as other Nordhavn's - Just finished re-watching the Miami super-yacht tour - Nordhavn's are what dreams are made of
I really like the trawler style boats, but they always seem to lack space. The Master cabin is relatively small, the saloon is not massive and the cockpit is positively tiny. As with storing the tender on te fly bridge, why not use the bathing platform as other boats and make better use of the fly bridge?
Nick, is the something inherent in the characteristics of pod drives that makes them less suited to the slow, long plod propulsion requirements of trawler style boats? From other videos of your I believe they free us space forward of the engines. Which this vessel could probably use to make it even better for month long stays.
To preface, I've recently become a fan of your channel and of yachting as a whole. I enjoy how you go about the walk through and description. It's quite top notch. I'd like to make a request, if I may? The Beneteau Swift trawler and the Absolute Navetta lines are among my favorites. Would you keep an eye out for an opportunity to showcase the Beneteau Swift 50 and the Absolute Navetta 58? Keep up the good work.
Very nice thanks, I've spent a lot of imaginary money on building my own marina so keep em coming, I've plenty more room. 😁 I've had to purchase more thumbs up too 👍
Been looking for a live aboard and I’m torn between a sedan or a pilot house. I like the open sedan style with all the natural light but do like the separation of a pilot house. Looked at a Krogen 42 but it’s awfully dark in the salon and galley and it’s an 8-9 knot boat and a swift trawler is more to my liking in that regard. Great video btw!
If you are looking for a live aboard, I would not get this. There is a reason a boat only 5 years old is 300,000. I would recommend a Grand Banks 42 that's a bit older. Those are some of the best built boats with beautiful woodwork.
