£430,000 Yacht Tour : Beneteau ST41 

More of these types of boats, please, Nick! I enjoy the faster boat reviews, but seeing these more ‘travel’ geared boats is also interesting!

This boat is right up my alley. I could easily put 3 adult children, the wife and I on this boat. Its just as much about the journey as the destination with this style.

The galley on this boat is absolutely perfect. I am a classically trained chef, and I would easily be able to serve six from that galley. What a brilliant layout, while remaining conscious of space constraints.

The ONE drawer I wanted you to open (above the oven) and it was the only drawer you didn't open! Lovely boat though and another great vid, thankyou!

"Pocket Rocket" = small boat HUGE engine. NO. "Pocket Yacht" = small boat HUGE design. YES. The other item of note, was another Nick Burnham quote - "...designed by people who actually go boating." YES ! This is what the boating / pleasure yachting world has been missing - boats designed through the experience of pleasure boating. Thanks, Beneteau and crew, for what you do. And THANK YOU too, Nick for traipsing around, gear in tow, just so you can bring us such a wonderful show. Way to go...

This was a fun one. I feel your enthusiasm really does the yacht justice when you go over all the little details. Hope the engineer appreciates it as much as we do!

I have really come to like proper trawler style serious traveller boats

I love Beneteau yachts. Regardless of size or style, presented here or elsewhere, Beneteaus always make me smile.

Thank you for popping these videos out through lockdown. It brightens my day/week.

I lived in Foug, France and we had a canal near our home and a tunnel through the hillside. I can understand why you couldn’t cruise the canals if you had a bridge deck. Here in the US, we have what is called the Great Loop, again, a bridge deck boat might cause issues, as you are traveling through canals and some bridges. When I lived in France, a sailboat from the US, was waiting at a lock. They had an American flag, we ran to the boat shouting “hello”, they thought we were French kids and replied “bon jour”. We then told them we were Americans and they invited us onboard, to go through the next lock and tour their boat. They had sailed from Los Angeles, through the Panama Canal, up the east coast and then across the Atlantic. They were then touring Europe, using the canals and rivers. I always thought that would be a great way to see Europe or the US, a boat like this without the bridge deck would do well through Europe or the Great Loop.

One of my favorite boats on your channel. It is such a well thought out family boat. Although "within reach" is still an overstatement for most people, it is an owner's boat.

I really appreciate how you hold your camera close to eye level so we can see the boat how you see it.

This is my favorite style of boat. Long distance and comfort. I could see me spending a summer trawling up and down the coast.

I think this is a great size for a trawler style, I could see myself trundling up and down the coast in this! Also, can I just mention that we have had an upload on your channel every 2-4 days! Brilliant Nick!

What a lovely little boat. Looking forward to seeing the ST50 - soon, I hope.

…I know this is a very shallow comment in light of the entirety of this boat, but one feature here is so exceptional to me, it is the curtain around the upper deck / drop down table into a sleeping bed area... it's always grateful to have some privacy while sleeping!! ...this simple thing (curtains around the potential accommodation) is NOT offered in any boat but this one that I've seen so far... This is so simple and so exceptional!! It's the little things - attention to detail - that attract people to purchase!!

Any time I see Nick opening an relatively small hatch and saying "this is neat." I assume it's going to be one of those tiny crew cabins haha.

I always fall for the looks of the luxury yachts but these trawler style boats always charm my boating bones. Great work, lovely Beneteau, you make them even more attractive.

I kept waiting for something that I wouldn't like, but then we got to the end and there wasn't anything. If I had a half million dollars to spend on a boat, this would most definitely be it. To be honest, if I had a million to spend on a boat, I'd still get this, and then use the rest to retire a bit earlier and enjoy the boat more. Absolutely excellent! Thanks for the tour, Nick!

A really nice boat. So much in it. Wouldn’t actually mind owning one of those. Plenary of space. Leisurely boating. No rush. Love the lighter wood. Great tour Nick.

Lovely. Love trawler type of boats. Great again Nick.

Not normally a fan of trawler style boats but after casting my eyes over a Swift at my local marina recently and this video i am impressed, keep up the good work Nick

Love that you get these tours organized for us too!

As much as I love this boat and would love to own one, it seems that the jump from the ST35 to the ST41 brings in the introduction of the twin engine configuration. Being able to cover large distances at displacements speeds would be something that is very important to me so the transition from a single engine to twin engine would be a significant increase in the running cots of the boat. I was born and raised in the south coat of England (Portsmouth) so no stranger to the water but I am now living in Limerick, Ireland on the river Shannon. Easy access to the west coat of Ireland is a real incentive for us but these waters are no joke. Still, we can all dream. Great video as always Nick. Thanks.

Absolutely love your tours. You seem to answer all the questions an interested boater would ask, good show. These swift trawlers are something I'm very interested in as I've been a sailor most of my life and presently sail a Catalina 400, but at age 76, it's getting to be a bit of a workout to trim a large Genoa in a stiff breeze with manual winches, so a move to a trawler might make life a bit easier. Since I'm used to sailing, the slower speeds are of no consequence and in fact 10 knots is way faster than I'm accustomed to. My main sailing ethos is relatively short cruises to California's channel islands and local coastal cruising like a 2-8 day trip to local coastal spots, or Catalina Island with most trips less than 50 nautical miles, so a slow passage is fine by me, I love the boating as much as the destinations. Keep these great tours coming, they're both entertaining and informative. Thanks Nick!

Definitely a clever boat with a lot of options to suit the individual needs of the owner. Thanks Nick!

Love these trawler style boat.. what a great looking boat. Could quite easily spend a month on this.. pity my bank balance says no!.. lol.. Great video as always Nick.. 👍🛥️🛥️

That is the most affordable AND nice looking boat ive ever seen! i love the color layout of the social area!

Perfect for me and my boy Great layout with the galley where it should be to serve both in and out doors I've looked at many many boats much more expensive and this is just perfect for me

Loved that! Never fancied a trawler but knowing how far you can get around the Med, it’s very appealing. Cheers Nick 👍🏼

Stunning boat. Love the attention to the doors with the strong magnets!!

My absolute favourite boats, the ST line. Also, as you enter the starboard side-deck from the cockpit, there is a door you can close, so the people in the cockpit are shielded from wind and spray while underway.

I would guess a water maker is optional,as you explained some folk might go faster but if you are away for a while the water maker would be a great addition to have and maybe another fridge and generator. Good design all round.

I think this yacht makes the best use of all its space, more than any other yatch of this size. I like it! (And I like the bow seat in front of the winch) ("bin bags", lol)

Always love some trawlers. The in-fill having their own hiding place really is just some wonderful detail on a wonderfully thoughtful boat. 430k really is quite sensible for this one. Ps, was really starting to miss the magic shoes. Wonderful as always

I like everything about this, nice one Nick.

Oh wow, that flybridge is absolutely enormous! Great for parties.

Keep up the good work Nick!!! I always look forward in anticipation to your videos. They have given many of us something to take us away from the stress of the outside world

nice looking boat, i really like the innovative use of space and the clever storage touches, definitely function over form 👍

Beautiful, we’re going to look at this one closer. Thanks for the little wave:)

Hi Nick. Whenever you say little ship i know its going to be good. Clever use of magnets on the doors. Small enough to handle and plenty of room for 6-8 people. Great walkthrough tour as always. Thanks.

"Or you can put out these lovely bin bags...Bin bags? OK, let's try that again: Or these lovely bean bags! :-b -> Come for the review, stay for the bloopers :-) Excellent tour, Nick!

Love the magic magnetic doors in the cabins. And the little ornamental anchors in the master cabin are a good touch, they could possibly serve as a helpful reminder to (if there are any) the absent-minded yachter.

Your churning these boat tours out! Awesome job nick as always.

After getting me hooked on boats and watching all your videos I come for the first time to a just uploaded one. Thanks again!

I love the color of the woodwork through out the boat.

Really thorough and enjoyable tour, thanks Nick 👍 I do love the ST range. Not sure they’re quite for me, but always tempted every time I see one. 😁

Well done! Love the tours. Always so detailed. Your channels and these tours helped me get through 2020. Bravo!

Never been dizzy on a boat tour before.

These are the type (and size range) that I'm dreaming about. Longer range, comfortable ride, lots and LOTS of storage for stores and "stuff". I saw on another review of the Swift 41 that there is an option for the lower helm seat to swivel and drop down to face the dinette. These are the sort of things you would expect from a company that has been in the boatbuilding business since 1884!

A truly smart design with boaters in mind. The sliding seat aft and the bed insert that hides away are intelligent.

Gotta say these trawlers always call to me. Thanks Nick

Another very smart smaller boat. Seriously functional with very reasonable comfort. Yes, a gen set & forward seating and a fly BBQ would be nice extras. Oh and the TV !

I love the slow cruise option because the journey and time on board is important too.

Wow just wonderful Nick Sir... Mesmerizing boat.. Even you are looking great ..

That's a great boat Nick! Thanks for the tour as always!

That’s a lovely little boat. Far more space than seems possible, it’s like the tardis

This is a beautiful boat. Almost perfect for the price. 1 thing I would love to see in your videos is that when you are in the cabins or at least the master cabin, it would be great if you could turn the camera around and show us the headroom in the master cabin. Not just this video but all your videos. Great job as always.

Love this boat, very practical, nice design.

Excellent tour, Nick. Love the size and style of this boat.

love those kind of family practical boats. thanks Nick for the great review. please more of them kind!

Absolutely brilliant tour of this beautiful boat! Thank you.

very nice boat with all the upgrades you could want. Good review .

Didn’t think much about it from the first shots but after your review, I can say this is a very cute little boat, very homy. And as always, a very well put review.

This would be my dream boat to spend a summer on cruising down the french and spanish coasts!

I do think the Swift Trawlers are amongst my favourites. I still hope to own the Swift 50 someday. Great tour, as always Nick!!! 😉😁🇨🇦

I prefer having access to the engines from inside the vessel. You always seem to need to work on them in bad weather and this just makes it easier. I have not mentioned how impressive it is in how elegantly you show your sponsors Mr. Burnham! They are present yet not obtrusive. This allows those who can use their services access to their information whilst not interfering with the ability of the viewer to enjoy your content. Very classy indeed!

Love you Aquaholic!!! From Aussie😉

Perfect live-aboard...generato and a chest freezer arer a must and I would put some satellite phone and TV domes on it if I were going to stay on it for a summer out on the water. The foreword master is very big for a boat of this size. I love the look of the analog gauges on a modern boat. There's much less of a chance of losing communication with your engines with gauges tied by physical means as opposed to flat screens, sensors and microchips...better redundancy. A very smart long range cruiser,

What a unique layout. They’ve managed to put quite a lot into a 41 footer. I’m not a big fan of the ladder to the flybridge, especially at sea, but it’s understandable I suppose. I really like a lot of the other parts of the design. And the flybridge itself is very nice. Seems a a bit short on range, but maybe I’ll do a deeper dive on that. All in all, I like it. Might be the top quality Aquaholic tour that’s got me. Great job as always Nick!

Great review Nick, thank you.

Just love these Swift Trawlers. What a lovely boat full of real-life features. Bang-for-Buck one of the best boats you can buy, a true retirement plan. Sell the house, have a small apatment for the winter and spend the summer on the boat. Thank you for the video, Nick. Keep 'em coming. Would love to see a N76/78 from Nordhavn, if ever you stumble accross one of those...

Love those magnetic door latches!

I'd say my favourite boat and tour 🙏 Alll the best nick

This is a boat I have never seen before it is a boat I would consider in a few year’s for relaxation when I have the time on my hands. Splendid review; thank you. Paul

That’s a fantastic practical boat. Love the cabins. Nice setup in the master with separate shower and heads. Deck layout is clever too. Impressive flybridge with nice bin bag at the back 🤣. Nice engine space. Really like this boat 😊. Thanks Nick ! By the way, congratulations on hitting 300K subscribers ! 👏🍾🥂👍

A well laid out boat. I think that I'd use that third cabin as a utility/storage room as there are two dedicated cabins and that covertable sofa/double bed with the privacy curtain. In short a very nice little coastal cruiser.

Superb boat Nick! Orders in!!

Some magic with Nick Potter, lol :) Indeed, very cleverly thought out boat. I love that big steering wheel as well, it gives it such a classic look.

What a great boat very well thought through, I can’t believe the amount of space and storage available a lot of boat for the money. Great review Nick 👍

Now that is lovely, I am a sucker for trawler style yachts and this must go into my top ten list. Thank you for such a great tour .

Your reviews are professional and informative. Thanks!

Yes! Finally! This is my dream boat.

Some very nice practical ideas on this boat, I like it. 💝🛥⚓👍

Love the light colored wood. This could be a family operated boat. I love a Trawler. It’s my favorite build. A remote control would be nice. Love to spend time on that baby. Pal you do such a good job showing the boats.

I briefly envisaged the first aquaholic fall on camera as that sofa was being pulled backwards towards the water 🤣 one day we will see it 🙏🏻.

I would love to see Aquaholic do a multi part series on "Octopus". Only he could do it justice

That cockpit storage locker can easily be another bedroom as well. When my brother was at university he had friends who shared a flat and one of them, no joke, literally slept every night in a mattress-sized cupboard, on a mattress obviously.

Another great video in the Aquaholic video library 📚, lucky me there quite a few I haven’t seen as yet 😊, thanks Nick 👍

Another family boat very nice and very practical

Spot on boat Nick!

Great boat Nick, thanks for showing it to us.

Nice looking boat lovely for a couple of weeks away forgetting about the world

Thanks glad u got one on the channel! Honestly think this might be my next boat!! Saw the 35ft but it was too small.

Lovely boat. Thanks Nick

this is such an enjoyable channel

You reviewed the boat I'm currently considering, the Regal Express. Now you've reviewed the boat I would love to retire to. Love the use of space on this boat. Having two double cabins and two heads is amazing. Great range and some speed when you want it. This type of thing would be perfect for the Great Loop.

A fantastic boat, and tour. Thank you.

Your videos are great. I have seen other boat tour videos. You are definitely are above the rest.

Another good vid Nick👍
