£650,000 Yacht Tour & Trial : 2016 Seaward 42 

I’ve said it before, but your explanation and attention to detail...especially on a boat like this, is much appreciated. Keep rocking Nick.

During this video I sprouted a half inch beard, my biceps tore my shirt and my voice dropped an octave. Great Machine, thanks Nick. 😎

Sounds like an ideal all year round boat. Very safe, very stable and.very dry.

This is the sub-million quid boat I want the most. By far. You show a lot of lovely boats but this is the one that has my heart.

I think that for the first time in my life, I have truly fallen in love with a boat. I own a pontoon boat that I adore but will not get me out on the Intercoastal Waterway. The other boat I love is any of the FPB's for circumnavigation. Being that I will never be able to afford one, I love them too but unobtainable. This boat, THIS BOAT, however, is now a new dream that could actually happen!!! Plus at 7 or 8 knots, I am betting the range is nearer 750 miles with the advantage of having more power available to get through faster seas or bigger problems!! Thank you so much Nick for fueling my dreams!!!

Growing up in Folkestone, I used to watch the Pilot boats hammering through some serious weather and wondered how they managed it ... now I see how. Thanks Nick, great boat great tour.

Bravo ! Seaward. We really appreciate it when the makers throw in a sea trial as well as the walkthrough. Fantastic boat and good presentation , as expected with Nick.

Now that is what I call a real boat. No dock-queen but a propper go anywhere-go out and stay out vessel. Love, Love, Love. Thank you for a great Sunday afternoon video, Nick!

That is one industrious machine! You can really believe the owner that they've been out in all sorts!!! I'm normally a flash Harry, who likes his flybridge boats, but this has changed my mind! Thanks for the tour and trial Nick!

Before I even clicked on the video I could tell that this was a Nelson hull, absolutely fantastic boats and they really can handle tough conditions.

A serious bit of kit and a fascinating tour. The practicality of the boat shines through. And great to see a boat so different to the usually luxury yachts.

I can see the point of keeping the pilot rails as a part of the boat's DNA but I'm guessing many leisure users would also like the security of edge rails. A great addition to the range tho and as always a great video.

I spent my entire youth on a nelson pilot ship since my grandparents bought it. That too was completely customised with a leasure interior. Loved every second of it.

Nick has an enthusiasm for every type of boat but you can hear the excitement in his voice when he's fine something a bit special - like this

I've always loved the Nelson DNA boats - I recall being in our marine ply family sailing yacht just off the spit at Lepe Beach one calm and sunny autumn day in the early 70s. Dad had a pan of mince and onions warming on the primus. A Nelson blasted past at full wellington leaving a large wash - this hit us and our lunch went flying across the cabin....I realised at this point I wanted a Nelson....dad swore a lot....

That kind of boarding ladder is the kind of safety feature I would like to see on all boats. It's important that the person in the water can use the ladder from the water.

MONSTER. Sums it up, a bit like driving an apc around town instead of a family car. I Love it. Thank you to the guys for letting you show it.

That was the best film you have made, what a great boat, all I need to do is win the lottery. many thanks.

Utilitarian I think is a fitting description for this boat but not in a bad way. Clearly a very capable boat and suited to a particular style, so it clearly has a well defined niche. Great sea trial, which you were clearly enjoying. Lucky you Nick. Thanks for a superb video.

I think this boat would be more my style. Short, and to the point. Serviceable and ready for anything. I LIKE. Thanks for bringing us this wonderful boat Nick.

That's cool how the dishes have a permanent spot on the counter so it's easy to get to.they are always right there

What a beautiful piece of machinery, thanks Nick and Angus

Wow, great tour and demo, absolutely love the practical no nonsense approach of this Seaward 42 👍 thanks Nick

When a Princess and a Nordhaven love each other very much, a baby Seaward is welcomed into the world. Quite a lot of boat, for the cost, really.

I have bought a car from Tempest, very easy to deal with however do not haggle as their vehicle pricing is very keen, bought a black GTI in spotless condition that was priced about £1.500 cheaper than a deal and everything was so well handled we drove away in it a few hours later. keep up the good work Nick

I wasn't going to watch this video as I have fondness for the more glamorous cruisers. However as it was our dear friend Nick doing the tour I thought it would be worth it. Mate you did it again, a great and informative tour. I love this boat. Cheers.

What a cracking bit of kit to go serious cruising. Not for me it has to be said but that doesn't stop me appreciating the build and performance. Great tour as always Nick.

Finally you walk through a proper boat! More of this please!

Absolutely love this boat. Probably seen the video 20 times.

What to say? From the start of the Vlog I was thinking ... you gotta take this boat out ... and, YOU DID! 😃 Fantastic!!!!!

What a fantastic boat. If I had won the EuroMillions yesterday, it would be my first choice. Wonderful review from a true enthusiast.

Tierra del Fuego - I'm on my way - FINALLY. Well, I COULD, if I was ready - my survival suit is still at the cleaners... Literally, an unbelievable boat. Aside from my bad jokes, I'm left for a loss of words. Thank you, Nick, for the tour...

That's a very, very serious boat for people who are very, very serious about boating first, and pleasure cruising second. I can see this being very useful around the angry seas of the Maine coastline...

Me: Why is he using just one lever? Nick same time: he is using one lever cause you can sink the engines to just one lever while out at sea. That’s darn good narration there, answering questions you know people will ask before they even ask them!

That is a gorgeous looking and well put together boat. Seaward have now gone firmly to the top of my want list.

When I first saw the title and picture of this video I immediately thought the price for a 2016 boat wasn’t justified. But after viewing it you can see where the value is and how robust and well engineered this boat is. It’s a serious day boat that provides exactly what it advertises. Lesson for the day : You get what you pay for.

A lot of money but everything is there for a purpose built to last. Cheers Nick you really get to see a vast amount of completely different boats. Thank you what Sunday afternoon needed an Aquaholic tour.

That was awesome, Nick... I wasn't expecting the ride - super bonus! Your you and your videos are the best on RU-vid!!

Now then, that's a fab machine. I always like the more industrial things in life, you can keep the fancy cars, My Ford pickup rules! If I had the money this would be right up there on the list, looks an absolute blast, thanks Nick and thanks to the gentlemen for a brief glimpse.

I like the luxury yachts, but this is a yacht sized ship! This boat is AMAZING!!

What a fantastic day out for you. The MD and chief sales taking you out for a spin! I had no idea they did these for personal use, I thought it was all commercial work. What an amazing piece of kit! If you like having fun in rough water, doing a bit of fishing etc that’s the boat to buy

As the second commenter, I feel entitled to mention how wonderful this boat is an how lovely and eloquently you tour vessels. Very good job nick keep it up. I am now an Aquaholic-holic

Didnt think i would enjoy this tour for some reason, but i was wrong, what a great boat, nice to see practical and not just luxury, well done.

Love you Aquaholic!!! From Aussie😉

I put this boat on my favolist. Fantastic .. Thx Nick

Now that is one very serious boat for the more serious seas. It is a different style of comfort level but I am sure that there are people out there where it is right up their street. Thanks Nick for an unusual but enjoyable review.

Oh nice one. I like the sleeker yachts as much as the next guy but I really like the idea of a working boat kitted for pleasure cruising as well as rougher conditions.

now THATS a proper boat nick! love this video series. - Mark

Quite a yacht, awesome!!!! Thank you Nick and Seaward!!!!

In the North of Norway lots of folk live on Islands and commute daily..this boat is perfect for them ..all year..any weather....I would love one of these in the boat house....

Apart from the Majesty 140, the Seaward 42 is the best boat so far.

That boat is astonishing! Give me that over something three times the price anyday. Loved the touch in the bow with the anchor chain, I wasn't expecting that. Brilliant as always Nick and your sky high enthusiasm seemed to hit another level today, love it!

a great tour of a very capable boat thanks Nick

Serious bit of kit for serious boaters. Great tour as always Nick, thank you 👍

18:40 unremarkable boat, the understatement of the year, quite frankly the opposite is true, with that heratige behind her, she is definitely remarkable, i love the understated charm, great video Nick, these ride along videos are the icing on the cake, thank you seaward for this.

Awesome bit of kit... Certainly not a Sunseeker show pony. Mega impressed. Excellent tour Nick as usual

She is such a capable vessel! Great boat and great tour! Thank you

That’s a proper Swiss Army knife of boats! I love the function over form of these types of these boats. The viewable chain hatch is so cool 😎 great video as always Nick

What a treat! Fantastic tour and great test. Thanks Nick

Wow really impressive little craft Nick and awesome tour as always mate thanks for sharing this 👍🇨🇦

What an amazing machine! I’d be very torn between this, and the Nordhavn 41. Leaning this way. I’d make a few changes for true live aboard comfort, but she’s a fantastic starting point. As always, a fantastic Aquaholic tour, and it’s always sweet when you get to take her out. It would be nice to see her in the rough though. Really like this boat.

Thats a serious boat. I would spec 2 things. a proper shower room, and a water maker. Then it would be perfect, after my head. Thanks for sharing sutch a great boat. 👍

This is one I have never seen before. Cool find Nick and a fantastic tour. Take care 🙏✌

very impressive boat! that could handle anything the seas throw at it! great job, as always nick!

WOW! If TONKA Toys made full sized boats, this would be it. Practical and practically indestructible. This is the ducks nuts, brilliant. Excellent tour as per usual, more really nice boat people, fantastic. Thank you, take care and stay safe. 👍👍👍🛥🛳☠🚤⛴🏴‍☠️🚢⛵⚓😎

What a tank. I love the variety of your shows. Thanks for inspiriting me

One of my favourite boats, this is no nonsense. I also like Grand Banks who are not necessarily built for speed but designed to be seaworthy too, the Grand Banks 42 was a great design in its way too. Classic designs never go out of date. I can see why the pilots have the Nelson hull and Seaward have built a great interior. Very good video and well done for pulling it off as it were.

Shocking! Am truly alarmed to find out that pilots don't bathe! 🤣 Excellent video. One hell of a rugged boat, nice.👍🍻

Superb video. Love the access that you are granted by he industry. It is a sign of the respect you have earned. Always a pleasure to watch.

Brilliant, in my top 3 boats to own . Great video

Love the pilot boat look. Very classy.

Oh, my golly! That was GREAT, Nick! Cheers, sir - I get endless hours of smiles from your work, land-locked in Chicagoland.🤗

Those seaward pilot boats are awesome nick, its the first one I have ever seen and I was seriously impressed by its performance!

This was fantastic tour Nick

Solid reliable strong. Great boat for rough seas, with a simple kind of design that looks very nice anyway. A pleasure to be aboard. Thanks :)

This could be my favorite video of yours yet!

Wow amazing boat! Thanks for letting us come with you

I was at Ocean Village last Sunday, quite a bunch of wonderful yachts.

I'm starting a petition to get AQUAHOLIC socks put into Nick's Teespring Shop.

Wow.. Wonderful boat and again brilliant review by you Nick Sir... You are mesmerizing and amazing...

Really enjoy watching your vids. Your enthusiasm and love for of theses crafts really show. Thank you!

Thank you Angus, Ideal Day boat for a bit of fun all year round in the Uk, Another great video by Mr Holic.

This is one of the best reports I've seen on your channel. Practical, understandable and to the point. The presence of the company's management on board attracts attention. The fact is that they have nothing to be ashamed of. Cool boat! Please create a review of the 50 series. I really want to order, but 50 series.

If I had the money this would be the boat for me, love it. Good vid Nick👍

Great video Nick. I have been on one some years ago. I had 2 uncles who were pilots on the Ouse and Humber. They took the ships from Goole to Hull and return. Managed to get my uncle to take me on a trip up to Hull. Had to disembark the ship in the Humber estuary and climb down a ladder onto the pilot boat. A little scary as the pilot boat is rising and falling all the time. Of what I remember the cabin was basic but had a mug of tea on the way back to Hull.

THANKYOU!! Thanks Nick and guys from Seaward, absolutely gorgeous boat, my new favourite Aquaholic video. I just love the look of Seaward and the practicality of it all. This is the boat that would be my first purchase after the lotto win. Thanks again 😁😁😁😁

Another great video by your self loved every minute of it. I hope you get to do a video of the boat we saw just as you was coming out of Southampton. Look an amazing boat but also the tour you gave was an amazing boat to thank again for the great tour keep up the good work

Finally got a break from school work, binge watching the 15 videos I missed

That was one hell of a solid boat. Thanks Nick. (I'm not sure about the "Chain Art" although I'm sure some would find it uplifting at times)

An excellent review of a stunning craft. The fabulous fit takes this traditional boat to a whole new level. I suspect the only limiting factor in heavy seas is the sailor and not the legendary Nelson hull!

This baby is a real little beast. I got a serious armchair thrill experiencing your trial run. Thanks mate!

Only one word: amazing!!

Very nice tour and demo! Love your channel.

It'd be great to see this in action through 3 and a half meter waves!!! I hope you get chance to experience that, Nick (and Film it of course).

That is a very impressive boat where you can do some pretty dumb things and come out unscathed. On may boats the side decks are so narrow that you need to watch your footwork as you move forward stepping between the pilot house and the outer rail where on this boat it seems safer to completely remove that outer rail. Brilliant idea. Seems nice and light even below deck with good accommodations for a couple with the occasional guests. Angus was probably more disappointed than we were that the weather wasn't rougher - this was way too easy for him. A big well done to the three guys who made this possible.

Great tour today 👍

Anchor chain as art!

Wow ! brilliant sea boat 😀🤠

You find the coolest boats

more happy viewing! thanks!
