£695,000 Yacht Tour : 2017 Princess V48 Open 

_They do 2 versions of these_ Yeah, one I can't afford & another I really really can't afford. Dammit!

I love how Nick continues to explain everything in simple terms. Makes a relative novice like me feel like an old sea dog :) Cheers Nick for not including too much jargon, even though I'm sure you know it all!

I've become such an avid fan of Aquaholic that I started looking at my apartment as if it was a boat. Fianlly managed to find space for a little sattee so I can tuck myself with a good book. Really proud of that. :D

I wonder if you ever opened a drawer or a cupboard and there was something "embarassing" inside, forcing you to redo the video ...

Half the people on this channel are interested in boats. The other half are just waiting for you to wave to the mirror😂. Either way I love it, keep up the good work👍

one must be a prince to hang out with a princess this often

Great boat but would not want to try and work on that engine

Very nice! Most likely when my US stimulus comes in I’ll still be watching your videos and dreaming 😄👍!

I would have to ask a question about the water tightness of The sliding roof . When you were looking around the helm, the floor was wet around the fire extinguisher and water stains around the IPS control. Water ingress is a big destroyer of boats generally and modern electronics do not do so well with water. Hope the vendor rectifies this and other cosmetic problems that showed up. It is a very expensive boat to have to adopt problems that can be seen. Definitely a survey before a purchase would be recommended.

My boat is the sea ray to the right when he’s on the bow showing us the sun pad!!! 🤣🤣🤣!

personally not a fan of the open style, i prefer doors, for noise reduction and security/privacy

Can you find some power cats to get on the channel?

Wow just fantastic and brilliant Nick Sir.. Looking great and stylish... Looking dashing in warm sunshine 🌞 Sir... God bless you 🙏❤

Love your reviews, Princess makes some amazing boats.

Could you make playlists of ur vids by price? That'd be cool

Would you be able to do a tour of a boat that would be suitable cruising around the med for less than 100 thousand ?

A Few Thoughts: It occurs to me... After literally hundreds of videos, you still tour a boat in simple enough terms where novice Aquaholics can have reason to get 'hooked' (see what I did there?) You sell each and every craft by simply 'not selling it'...! Buyers will be savvy enough to know hat they like and what they don't. It's the things most land lubbers wouldn't have a clue about that you bring to light... I've watched every other yacht tour 'regular' and NONE of them are in your league Nick. Not one... Thank you for the entertaining education you afford those of us who've never had the slightest interest in yachting in the past. Me... New life goals...! All in all, a beautiful vessel... For the exact opposite reason of some of your viewers, I also am not a fan of the 'open'. Most aren't fond of it because of the exposure during the colder months. For me - it's the summers that are virtually unbearable on the water here in Florida...! There'd be no way of enjoying this boat on a July day here. You'd bloody well MELT sitting at the helm OR as a guest in the cockpit... A proper door, backed up by effective A/C, is the ONLY way to float when you're dropping this kinda coin on a luxury item, key word being luxury. I'll be damned if I want to pay that much to be both miserable, AND worn out by a single day out pleasure-crafting the coast...! I'll go diving... sea-bobbing... fishing... whatever - out in the sun and surf. And then..... Into the air conditioned cockpit for a quick rinse, a cocktail, and the helm...! (With a shrimp cocktail) Speaking of cocktail... For a sub 50 - she's incredibly well equipped, but not my cup of tea... Another perfect tour Nick... Cheers mate!

What a tricked out boat!...full sized refrigerator, generator, IPS drive with joystick, 2 full heads and a drawer style dishwasher!. There's gotta be a combo washer/dryer hiding in there somewhere! The generator looks 10Kw+. This boat would be fantastic to anchor half a mile off shore and live aboard for the weekend. With a stocked 'fridge, you'd be all set in your floating hotel suite with the world's largest swimming pool at your disposal. Princess quality and touches...this is one desirable "piece of kit" as Nick would say!

Check out the new Azimut 53 flybridge yacht. You need a trip to Italy !

My dream boat 👍 love he V39 and V48 not this lifetime though

That was a healthy noise when the roof was opening! :(

A split personality can be a good thing - take this boat (get your own, please). At 48 feet I'll bet water skiing is a dream, or fun being towed on one of those sausage inflatables. After a hard day at play, a well deserved bit of sophistication awaits below decks. A proper galley and dedicated dining table - the place to share wild tales or a movie before retiring to first class yachting accommodations - at opposite ends of the boat. FUN - and dreams are FREE

I’ll take the deck saloon version please 😁 Great tour as always of a ‘typical’ princess! Great looking boat with everything you could want and more with those extra specs like the stabiliser 👍

Another great video to allow me to dream! One day..... ONE DAY!

My grandpa have One of these

Wow congrats Nick. Your on your way to 300k. Glad to say I've been here since before 10k. Your the best mate. Love from Canada

I've always wondered... if you buy a second hand boat but want to get a new mattress, where do you get ones that fit the rounded shapes in the cabins?

Nice one

Just love how Nick does every video as it’s our first time watching him. Like how he explains the retracting roof or the bow thruster on every boat that has it, just so darn consistent in every tour! So well done!

👍

Slightly disappointed that there was no mention of the word.."thusly", and no merch on display...other than that, another great video of a lovely boat.

Due to your wonderful videos Nick I now know that a open is not really the type of boat for me would definitely prefer a fly bridge one. Still a nice looking boat and of course a great tour.

Very nice unit. You get a lot here for under 50’. I hope that the garage opens for any service work though n

Nick, to be honest I’m disappointed.... The dishwasher didn’t sang us the song of its people!

NIce boat but I prefer Saloon Model or better yet the F45 Flybridge. Love Princess and enjoy when you present them, Nick.

#2

Nick I have seen somewhere a budget line of Nordhavn 41 and 51 coming out of Turkey I believe. Do you have any insight or articles on your other yachting contributions? This is a nice boat, thanks for the tour.

it's a double edged sword watching these videos. 14:58 of great video tour followed by 24 hrs of sadness that you'll never be able to experience one!

I love princess' interiors. And I love Azimuts exteriors. Maybe they could get together for a collaboration lol

Ahh, another great drop from Aquaholic! FANTASTIC!

"Oak? Oaks nice". 🤦

Princess need to give you a free boat, for producing great videos.

Amazing quality, it shines throughout the whole boat, classic princess. Great tour as always Nick

more into fly's but this is one georgeous boat .... just gotta love princess. all this on 48 , just awesome. great video again sir thank you again.

I'm sure there must be many, like me, who were more enthused with the Marex you reviewed last time. Price and size wise sometimes less IS more.

Maybe a studio question, but why do front cabins (generally VIP) have an escape hatch while owners cabins do not?

Very nice - could spend from april/may to september on something like this ... and the wood work 8-D Packer tour, Nick - TYVM ;-)

Again another beautiful boat from Princess Nick I think it’s top contender for Smugglers 3 thanks for the tour mate cheers 😎🇨🇦

I don’t get the whole sun pad thing. Seems like a ginormous waste of good space. I guess I’m not in my 20’s anymore! Very sad.

What type would you prefer, open or deck saloon, sports cruiser or flybridge? What type of boat would give you the most joy and living quality. If money wasn’t and issue and you could have what ever you want 😉

WOW! $965,858.87 (695,000 pounds) United States dollars, for a yacht that size, almost a $1 million dollars. Very nice but, not a big boat ... amazing. Boats are really expensive. And THEN there's fuel, maintenance, and insurance. If you can afford that boat, you're doing pretty good for yourself. Now think about the guy that buys a yacht 10x the price of this one, at $10 million, then hires a five person crew.

Lovely 😁

Dear Nick, could you please review the Zeelander Z72? That is the most beautiful boat I know...

It would be absolutely amazing if they could squeeze in a wash&dryer combo somewhere in there

Great channel Nick, Maybe this should be for a Q and A. I have a number of questions. I am from a seafaring background but I would like to know your thoughts on stability in heavy weather, what sea state would you be comfortable with, in a yacht of this size. If your yacht was located in the UK and you wished to travel to Spain or into the Mediterranean for a few months during the summer, what would be the minimum realistic size (range etc for four people) to make that journey.......... I have seen many yachts of smaller size transported by road, what would be the length you would have to sail it there...(appreciate beam and seaworthiness) Keep up the great channel👍

Great vid nick. Would be nice to see a tour of one of these boat yards.

Just put a deposit on a v48. Can’t wait for handover day !

Wow. That’s amazing, We’re avid fans of your channel but never thought we’d see you do a tour of our boat!! Wasn’t aware you were doing it but absolutely chuffed to bits. Great tour as always. Thanks Nick 👍

Thanks Nick, lovely boat, looks brand new!

Almost identical to v50, any noticeable difference?

Lovely boat, I've always liked these since you tested a couple for MBY, 👍❤️🇬🇧

Great value boat, but I don’t think this version is very suitable for the UK😂

Showing my total lack of boating knowledge. But how do you manage to board if you're not stern to berthed? Do you just sort of clamber aboard?

Hi Nick. That's an awesome boat. Satin wood, light interior. Massive full height master, 2 sun pads. Love it. Classic Princess quality for a 2017. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊

Beautiful boat just wish I could afford it .love all your videos

Is referencing MIELE not a thing anymore??

I'm doing my dissertation on a very similar boat. Your videos always helped and help me a lot with my work 👍🏼 thank you

hey man do you know how many princesses there are ?

Saw a video of a guy handling a princess V50 by himself using the Docking feature built into the IPS drive

‘Princess Cove ‘ for Nick & Mrs. what are you waiting for Nick as £1 down & they’ll hold for you to go see you’re banker for the rest. We know how much of the Princess lover of a Prince you are Nick & another wonderful review. 👍👌

I like the cabinetry finish. I also like how they match the grain in the wood

Nice looking boat.

Well, I could actually live with an open salon. It's crazy what a great show you do!

Princess Boats are my favorite brand

High contender for my next boat at the end of the year. Its a shame on this particular one the interior trim needs some tlc on the speaker starboard arch bit. Still a lovely boat though i'm a big princess fan.

Hi Nick, Jack & Maggie.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who tries to spot Nick's car in the parking lot in every video

Amazing boat as always, but my eyes immediately zeroed in on those two tiny boats at 11:39. What are they and why are they so tiny/adorable?!

Wonderful tour as always, thanks. If I was looking to buy I’d most probably go for a Princess, they ‘re so well thought out and designed.

I can imagine getting sunstroke in the Balearics on this beauty!!! ☀️🚤👌🏻

Another great video!

Awesome

Im a big fan of this size express cruiser, but I don't understand why have a tender garage that can't fit a large tender and takes away from the engine room a lot. Id rather just use the swim platform and hold the tender. It already is hydraulic.

Princess are always such amazing boats. I just love the layout this one has. More space on board than you would first think. You never mentioned the mileage for this week Nick. So im guessing 250 miles , drop the speed down and you get a lot further . Thank you for sharing this one with us

Does the helmside window drop fully? would be ideal to stick your arm through it so you could use the ips 🕹 for docking. Love your videos then reality bites that I'll never be able to afford one, maybe stretch to a 90s one needing some tlc or something like SB2. Your MBY 'best of 4' articles are some inspiration.

Lovely boat, perfect for me n er’ indoors

Can’t imagine myself on any boat without a crew cabin. Where would I sleep?! 😉

Hey Nick, I had an idea about your channel. What do you think about this? Make your own website (or get someone to make you one), where you make a section for each boat that you cover, which includes a walking tour from your current youtube videos, a 3d tour, advertising material, written specs, price (new and 2nd and), your own thoughts on the boat, maybe some sort of ranking system for set categories, and then a conclusion about what you get for the money. So when you go to the website you can see all these posts, you can search individually for a specific boat, or you can search a boat by filters like this: Price range: 0 - 50,000,000 (choose price range with a slider) Boat Category: Cruiser - Sport - Sail (etc. etc. pick ones you want) Rooms: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 (etc. etc.) Size: Preference: for 1, for 1 + crew, for 2, for 2 + crew (etc. etc.) So this way people can refine the search and look at the specific boats they are interested in, a bit like your sponsor boats UK but instead of selling boats its informative stuff like you do? What do you think? I would spend hours in that website I know that :D

Superb !!!😍

She's a beauty indeed for a sub50 ft thank you for always throw in the height some of US ARE 6'4 FT so I get worried about the headroom 😅 great job as always 🤝

7:14 When he didn't wave😥 8:00 When he again didn't wave😭 9:36 When he did wave 🤗

Great, versatile boat. Really good package. I’m thinking SB4 or 5? Great to see Jacques taking a load off and sunning himself too! At least he wasn’t pushing any buttons today! Mischievous little scamp!

Beautiful boat! Its amazing how much comforts they are able to get into boats of this size these days. Even for an open layout one could easily live off this boat under the right conditions. Fantastic video as always!

Cool boat Nick 👍

I think we all agree, there should be an Aquaholic t-shirt that says "I prefer stern-to berthing".

Nice tour. Thanks. I really don't get the open hype. Very limited use. In the Baltic too cold. In the med too hot.

I am not sure an open boat suits me. I think it is a beautiful boat and expertly presented but the lack of the closed cabin does not work for me. It’s the same with the Fairline targa; it’s the GT every time for me. Still horses for courses :-) Paul (UK)

A beautiful millionaire's boat. Even if you can afford the 700k, there is the yearly upkeep to keep in mind. Never the less, stunning Princess quality. Great video as always Nick, thank you.

Dang that's a very nice boat

I like that most of the mechanical trinkets are related to the meat and potatoes of boating. The stabilizer is really nice, as is the automatic plank. The roof is probably a relatively minor refurbish for someone who can afford this boat. As long as the electronics are in good shape, it's a steal compared to brand new.
