£581K Yacht Tour : Princess F45 

Agreed, that's why his channel has exploded from inception.

True, He has sold me on about $200million worth of boats in the last hour if I had the money.

He's got his own boat and actually uses it - a rare occurrence in my experience to be honest ;-)

By far and away the best at it on RU-vid. EDIT: PS. *Top tip:* Make sure you opt for the 4-wheel drive model if you're mooring in Courchevel! ;)

Ok, how many quid did Mr. Burnham pay you to post that? Jk, he always does a great job......................................

But it's pounds, it would be like a mill in dollars. Expensive but nice.

When xrp rises to 200 dollars, i'm buying this yacht alright, and then i can even affort to pay 10% of the purchase price, every year to maintain it, because nothing in the world is more expensive to maintain than a yacht. I would love to own one like this or even smaller and cheaper, but they are a money pit and you never get the money back that you put into it but that's why they are rich men's toys, because they earn more than they spend so what the heck is their motto and buy those expensive toys, use them, sell them and buy something newer.

@@3DPeter Planes are even worse.

Exactly! I’m thinking retire on one.

A half a mill won't buy a boat much bigger than 50 ft. Unless it needs the same money put into it.

Haha, great to have you aboard, and lots more coming! :)

Im in the same boat (or not) :D

Same thing here I had no interest in yachts before.

Likewise but now I want a Mangusta.

I went to school for it and I used to work on yachts in my 20s but after two seasons I switched to automotive instead because you make double the money but I had hated yachts at the time but its nice watching these videos as a fan and daydream about having a boat like this now that I'm a little older.

Who will throw the line for you, when docking😂😂😂

@@edaneo11 I'm a commercial captain, I can dock a boat, step off and hitch it. I do it 5 times an hour, 30 times a day. And yes, also in bad weather, raining locusts, the night of an blue moon eclipse, etc.

would one need training to navigate a boat like this or would you have to hire a 2 man crew?

@@ldanzamariastile3536 I would start with chartering a small boat (20ft plus) for a season, with a competent instructor, and do it old school first. Meaning no thrusters, IPS engines etc. Just throttle and rudder. Take your time and enjoy the process of learning, don't rush it, that's how you will fall in love with being on the water in your own boat. In my commercial captain's course, there were also a lot of pleasure boaters who simply wanted to learn more and be competent on the water. So I would highly recommend taking the first level of a commercial license, which in Canada allows me to drive a 5 ton boat and take up to 12 passengers if I so desire. The knowledge you gain in a commercial captain's course puts you above 90% of all other pleasure boaters. The primary stress in handling a boat is docking and undocking, especially in a crowded marina. So work with a captain who is also a good teacher and do at least 100 dockings in various types of weather conditions over the course of the season. Once you are comfortable with that, stick with your small boat until you start to feel you've outgrown it, then move up to a bigger one by 10ft plus. If you keep chartering, then you would not loose much money as opposed to buying one and the hassle that comes with it. You can also get to try out a variety of boats before you decide what you actually like as opposed to what you thought you liked. For me personally, I would want to be able to single hand a boat because when I go out to quiet coves, I don't want anyone around me, so I don't want a crew. This will determine the size of the boat which you will get, which for me will be around 50ft. But if you want crew, then the sky is the limit. Hope this helps.

i recently starting towing a van well it's been two years to be exact i know you can't compare the two but i did the same process as you explained here for example learning hot to hitch the caravan to the car and unhitching the caravan learning manoeuvring with the caravan on narrow roads turning corners etc now i'm very confident because of all the pratice, but with the boat i immagine you will need navigation skills seeing as there re no road signs at sea i can immagine docking to be the same as un hitching a caravan

haha agreed

Note that the final price is not 581k £. The final price for this boat would probably be around 800k+

What's even crazier is it's absolutely normal to get 15% or better discounts on new boats with just minor haggling.

At 800k GBP who would buy this? Just about 200k more and you can get a 55' from Sunseeker.

If you were to build a Ford Fiesta from scratch, from bits, it would cost you many times over what a new Fiesta costs Ford to make. It's about scale and production lines. Princess buy in bulk, manage in bulk, have production teams. As one crew moves onto one boat being build another crew moves over to do something else on a different boat in a different stage of production. But if you were to start a shipyard you'd find it impossible to get this finish at this price. But then back in the Princess were that bit less finished... they took time and experience and 'company culture' to get where they can do this for this price.

@@rykehuss3435 No it would not. a Manhattan 55 from Sunseeker has a list of £1.255m for a very basic spec (you don't even get winches or wood decking) most M55's retail at £1.7-£1.9m + VAT.

Haha, I like your thinking! Thanks for the comment :)

@@AQUAHOLIC I like the way that seat slides back at the push of a button. To think I was pleased years ago when I got a car with electric windows for the first time !

Thanks TF, will do!

Thanks!

Thank you. I've spent well over a year of my life in total at boat shows!

Thank you, great to have you aboard AQUAHOLIC! :)

Kind of you to say so but I don't buy or sell, I video, photograph and write about them.

Thanks Marc :)

Welcome aboard.

Mine too.

Thanks Dan, appreciate your comments :)

Fantastic, great to have you aboard!

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Thanks Ben :)

Princess 55 AQUAHOLIC video coming soon! :)

Same here: I've replayed it multiple times, often at three-quarter speed (or even half-speed) so I don't miss any details on the visuals that might not be mentioned on the review audio (never many, though there are one or two things to discover for myself.) The problem with this is that I also have to do it with sound muted sometimes too, because once I've heard Nicks voiceover so that I know it almost off by heart, I can manage better than trying to get my head round hearing it slowed down: Since RU-vid slows down audio, but retains the original pitch, it has the effect of making Nick sound as though he's pissed

I watched this one many times over also.....and see it again in my dreams. Love, love this boat !

If your interested I’ve just seen this lovely boat sea trailed by utuber Capt Pat Kelly on lake Washington, it’s very impressive, he covers how good this machine really is, because of social distancing, he does everything one handed & on his own, holding a GoPro!. All the yachts technology is explained , you can definitely use the lovely piece of kit on your Jack Jones!.

stanspch1 good luck. I am in love with the f45 also. Can afford it now...but I’m too old.

Glad you enjoyed it!

IPS certainly frees up a lot of space!

Oh.. and we share the same name as well haha 👍

Greetings to you in Denmark! :)

How many accounts are you running with this picture? I see you comment on almost every video I watch.
