£825,000 Yacht Tour : Discovery 48S 

Of all the yachts I can't afford, I like this one the most.

The owner seems to have, entirely correctly, only stocked up with booze!

my ultimate dream boat to head over the atlantic on and spend 6 months cruising the caribbean

I'd never make a sailor. But I would love to spend a couple days on this pretty boat. Thank you Nick.

Wow, The best Sailing Yacht you have had yet, this has to be the Rolls Royce of Yachts, I am smitten, if this doesn't convince you to move over to the dark side nothing will ;-) amazing tour thank you so much ..

The sheer glamour factor for this price is incredible. Only possible with sailing yachts, and this is definitely the best one yet on this channel.

The owner has made great choices on the layout. First sail yacht that has truly impressed me. Great review as always Nick and thanks again. A true beauty.

Amazing! I don’t imagine I’ll ever own a sailing yacht (like engines too much!), but this is a seriously impressive boat. Thanks Nick

Nick in love with this yacht, and so am I!!!!

That is one seriously nice boat. The Distant Shores couple, Paul and Sheryl Shard, used to own one and especially their sailing videos from anchorage to anchorage in very shallow water, which they could access at all because of those lifting keels, really are the perfect commercials for Discovery. Now they are building a custom aluminium explorer monohul at a high end shipyard in the Netherlands, which brings me to the one gripe with this boat: It is so high end build quality and priced, that you could save money buying a same length Garcia, Alubat Ovni or an Allures 51.9 (build by Garcia), in high grade marine aluminium. Especially the Allures is every bit as luxurious inside too. It is just a small gripe though, because this boat is fantastic, also obviously proven solid blue water cruisers and the deck saloon design is just incredible. It essentially ends the need of a dog house, as on Amel or Boreal, for steering the boat in bad weather conditions, because you have perfect look out positions in the central accommodation. I only like one monohul more than this in fact, and that is the Sirius 40DS, but that one is also obviously smaller and even still quite a bit more expensive.

Wow just Majestic Boat Nick Sir.. Interior is so impressive... New and techy... Wonderful Boat Nick Sir.. And as always looking great in Blue... God bless you..

Really like the retractable keel and the roomy accomodations. They really put a lot of thought into the offshore liveability. And not a wet toilet in sight.

Discovery yachts are pure quality. I've visited their factory before - they are the sort of boats you'd feel safe doing a very long passage on.

Of all the videos I've watched on your channel, this is the vessel I want the most - that folding keel is awesome, being able to pull up to a sandbar like that with a yacht of this size would be amazing

I love how he‘s talking with the same passion about a 50ft sailing boat and a 40m superyacht! Great job, keep it up!👍

Really like the deck saloon concept. Would like to see more boats of this type here, for example a Sirius 35 DS.

This boat is a contender. The arch with full cockpit enclosure...perfect. Center board for Duxbury harbor. And so much more. Top shelf.

Wow. Just wow. What a dandy of a yacht. Thanks for the tour!

Hi Nick. Wow. That yacht is amazing. Full custom, hand built, craftsmanship and huge cabins. This is what a bluewater cruiser should be. Great walkthrough video tour thanks 😊 liked the Discovery 58 too.

Interesting to see a sailing yacht. Very nice and practical boat with solar power to add efficiency. Like the idea of the dolphin seats. Nice lifting keel feature. Cabins are beautiful with stunning woodwork. Master cabin is massive! Thanks for the tour Nick 😊

The woodwork, marquetry and detail in this boat is better than many of the £4m+ boats you’ve shown us round! Beautiful.

That's a snorter of a yacht. I think you summed it best "a real class act". Thanks, Nick.

This very well may be the most incredible sailing boat I’ve ever seen. Thank you for sharing such a special experience with us Nick.

“A stunning piece of kit”. I just love this guys turn of phrase. “Maggie the baggie”. Hilarious. You just can’t beat the British sense of humour. Great boat reviews too. Thank you for these creations.

The owner has very good taste , it's beautiful !

This looks like a Y series princess on the inside, beautifully finished and would be a great yacht to sail on! Thanks Nick!

This is my favourite sailing boat you have shown on this channel, so luxurious and practical and the same time

Great blue water yacht with fine pedigree and particular versatility due to its swing keel while the nice 2 master cabin option presented here effectively expand Discovery's market to co-ownership situations. After all, too many yachts, aren't used enough because, because. Regardless "Distant Shores" is another fine example and for most viewers Nick, a shot up the mast showing # of spreaders would have been appreciated.

Another great tour! Thanks for showing us the lovely sailing yachts

Sailing yachts are not normally my thing. I must say though the fit and finish on this one is beautiful really nicely done. Great tour Nick

That yacht is worth every single penny of that price tag! What a machine!

Beautifully built boat, very nice!

Smitten. I think that is an excellent choice of words Nick. The finish on this boat is superb. Make me want to hit the oceans and go forever

Ahhh, Discovery yachts. Truly some of the finest monohulls produced. Genuine world travellers. I absolutely love these beautiful machines. You did forget to mention the “gin and tonic” seats.... LOL. Finally, an Aquaholic tour of a Discovery, thank you Nick!

Absolutely stunning boat. The side profile of the windows from the outside gives off a more angular E-Type look, very classy.

Really nice one. Hope as things open you find yourself on one of the giant sailing superyachts.

Looks like an offshore racing boat with sails in the thumbnail. Not usually particularly attracted to sailing yachts but this one is very nice.

My favorite sailboat yet. The layout is very impressive and that’s an incredible amount of cabin room for a sub 50.

I love the galley and saloon area. Such a piece of art, thank you for the review Nick!

With this boat you can cross any ocean, with 90% of the Motor-Yachts you can't do that. There are currently several German RU-vid channels out there of young people who are doing a world-tour, incl. Atlantic- and Pacific-ocean crossing with sailboats of a similar size (but refitted by themselves and with much less money) - for example "Segeljungs" or "Blue Horizon" (def. worth checking them out). I'd prefer this Sail-Yacht before any multi million € Motor-Yacht. For living on a boat for 2+ years, a Sail-Yacht gives you much more comfort compared to any Motor-Yacht, much less costing and much more fun, since you can actual sail. Man... what a lovely Yacht.

My new favorite RU-vid channel.

She is a most beautiful boat. It is nice to see craftsmanship of this level. Clearly, years of careful thought have been put into the design of these boats. I really like that, in all your videos, you ALWAYS open hatches\compartments carefully AND you always make CERTAIN that everything is secure before you move on. This shows me that you care about the safety and welfare of others. The level of detail in your videos is always exceptional. Great!

There’s a lot of us that are smitten as well with this beautiful boat! Another great video! Cheers

Gorgeous boat! As a weekend warrior woodworker, seeing something like this makes me want to do woodworking that's about quality, not quantity. Very inspiring! Thanks for the tour!

This boat has a great layout. I love it.

Love decl salon boats, this one, Shannon and Sirius are my favorites in deck salon. I love the lift keels to, so you can get into shallow areas, you are not as restricted as you are with fixed keels.

I absolutely love her. She has been designed by a sailor with all the practical things you could want. My favourite bit is the wet locker. Perfect. I just need to win the euro millions now.

A beautiful boat and stunning interior. Proper sailing with actual sails looks like hard work to me lol, i will stick to motor yachts. great video nick.

Sometimes in rough weather you get sea sick while cooking under deck. I like the galley is raised. And lots of natural light

you are saying 10 months like that is a long time. seems like a pretty fast turn around for the quality

What they're doing with the limited space on the smaller yachts continues to amaze and inspire me!

The Vlog channel "Distance Shores" has theirs for sale but it's in Panama. I think theirs is a 3 cabin version , not sure. They are building a new boat. Nice yacht Nick . Thanks for the tour.

Deck saloons are definitely the way to go. All that gorgeous satin walnut, stainless inlays and marquetry. 🤯

We keep Discovering NICE boats with you NICK

Excellent yacht, very spacious for 48 feet!!!!

I'm not a fan of sailing boats, much preferring motor yachts...so I clicked because it's one of Nick's videos (which are ALWAYS a treat), and I watched all the way through because of how gorgeous and comfortable this yacht is. Awesome presentation as usual, Nick!!

Nice boat well equipped like the drink storage.

Stunning boat. It looks like the one on the Distant Shores channel - they have been places with the lifting keel that most yachts can't reach.

I’m a motorboat guy at heart, but seeing this was great! Lovely accommodation, even a lazy-sailor can appreciate this. 🙂

Beautiful. Wouldn’t want to change a thing.

Absolute dream boat 😍😍 Thanks!

It's a lot of money...but it's a lot of boat! There's something about a sailboat, used to do some crewing many years ago, but was such a thrill. Then switched to motor vessels about twenty years ago. But always appreciate a lovely yacht, there's such a romantic and evocative feeling to them.

What a very adaptable sailing yacht that is! I love the wrap-around lounge in the raised deck saloon, makes a very good spot for dining. The lifting keel feature is perfect on shallow waters, I think every sailboat needs one. Love the space on the forward cabin, just maximizes comfort. I also love the dolphin seats at the foredeck. Thanks again for a fantastic tour, Mr. Nick.

It's taking me a while to warm up to the deck saloon, but for a long venture I'm starting to get it. Woodwork is amazing. The door handles in my house should be so nice.

That is a proper sailing yacht. Love that yacht thanks Nick

I don’t mind these boats but what really gets me excited would be a Nordhavn 68-80 range. I can’t wait for one of your tours of one of those.

I think this is the nicest sailboat you've shown us ... If I could saile, this would be what I would dream about.

Real quality product. I would be happy just living in it moored in Ocean Village let alone sailing in it. Great vid Nick

At first I thought that looked a bit pricey. But when you see the craftsmanship, yeah, totally worth it. A beautiful yacht!

Absolutely gorgeous, way over my head. I wouldn't know what to do at any time ! Takes years to learn how to handle one of those properly, but when mastered .... WOW ! With grateful thanks to the owner for letting us have a look. Its obviously owned by some lucky individual, to who I would say happy sailng. Thanks :)

I loved the Amel 50, however, this one is beautiful as well.

This is excellent. 'A' class for design and workmanship.

Stunning 😍 like the Nordhavn of the yacht world and can see why you’re smitten by this..... 👍🏻

That's a dream boat for me. Absolutely fantastic looking but with 2 kids you'd go for 3 cabins!

Excellent Nick! Thanks. What a great interpretation of modern yachting. beautiful boat. I'm partial to the cream and walnut too. Gorgeous!

I have to say I had a chuckle at opening the various cupboards to find more and more booze. And then finding tucked away treats like water makers and that marvellously titchy washing machine! I'd want to open everything to see what else they'd hidden away! What a well appointed yacht!

I don't care for sailboats, however this one I do like. I agree with you, " I like this guys style "...............

A sailboat that isn't designed to dump objects in the cockpit straight into the wake. I like it!

Some day we are likely going to see a sailboat with a fair few more solar panels dotted around the deck. Maybe a few used as trim detailing up along the side of the mast or something like that. Won't catch a lot of sun, but at least a bit. And with enough solar and some regenerative power from the prop, then a sailboat could easily be fully electric. All though, I would personally like a propane driven generator just to be on the safe side. (Mainly since propane doesn't really go bad in 6 months unlike diesel.)

Beautiful. Many great features. Just mention the way the hided the mast.

gorgeous details, equals man hours ,equals expense,nothing left out on this one,love seeing the sail boats ,what about spirit yachts classic modern wooden yachts dont think you had any walk rounds of them before amazing quality

Great video nick. My favourite boat thus far,

Stunning! makes me wish I'd set off around the world in something just like that 15 years ago lol.

Out of all the boats on this channel, this might be the best from a millwork and finishing standpoint. That includes the Azimuts.

It's a wet August evening, I have £0 to spend on anything other than essentials, but I'd love to live on this boat sailing wherever the whim took me- thanks Nick - buying Lotto ticket 1st thing!

Beautiful ship. I had to remind myself this was 'only' 48ft. Quality and styling looked like that of a 100 foot superyacht.

Great interiors! There's almost a superyacht quality and feel to her design too. Thanks for the tour, Nick!

Much prefer the sailing yacht interiors to the motorised yachts. This one gas raised the bar, those cabins either end are stunning!

You're not alone in being smitten with this yacht. I'm working on the value of my current boat right now! Be totally happy sailing that up the east coast of Australia or across to New Zealand. The light and airy feel is so apparent and would be wonderful on a longer run. Thanks Nick, a wonderful tour (as always). Best to Marianne as well :-)

great review..I am starting to like thoe types of sailing boats very much.. definitely one of the best channels on YT, thanks again aquaholic
