I was just thinking this. Theres a british tradition of showing relaxing outdoorsy shows on a sunday and I'm glad even on youtube some people stick to that kind of traditional scheduling.
A relief to get into the engine room😂!... Love these classical styled Benetti boats. Shiny woodwork, loved the owners bathroom with the deep bath. Accompanied my usual glass of Provence rose. Thanks Nick 😊
A very classy and comfortable boat. Loved the fact that the TV screens did not dominate the rooms/cabins that they were in. Even the slight deck creaks added to the atmosphere. Incidentally, that so called music was enough to give my arse a headache lol.
The woodwork dates it, but the soft furnishings, carpets etc lift it to the point that it really works. And it reeks of quality. Great vid as always, thanks.
I know high gloss isn't exactly "in" for most modern interiors, but I do love the classic look all the same, it's just so elegant and refined-looking. And Nick, despite the rave in the background we could hear every word perfectly fine, thankfully. I would have been positively flustered in a similar situation. Even the crew looked like they were about ready to un-moor and sail away as quickly as possible 😂
Gourgous Yacht as we expect from Italy 🇮🇹(Benetti, founded in 1873, when Lorenzo Benetti (1844-1914), bought the Darsena Luca shipyard later, Benetti shipyard), and you’re the best Sir Nick, but we should definitely Check Out that PARTY 💃🕺‼️🎈
The "Mute" button brilliant. The old style of woodwork is classically stunning, inviting, warm and luxurious. I can't imagine anyone can understate this Benetti's beauty, she absolutely touches all the boxes. Lol Nick, have a wonderfully quieter week!
Stunning boat. Finally, a galley that is almost big enough for the number of people to cook for, 17. If I had the money to justify a boat this size, this would be it. Couple minor changes, no cream colored carpet, shows dirt too easily, add pullman bunks in both doubles, and get rid of the bathtub in the owner's head to enlarge the shower. Heaven on water. More like this, please, Nick.
Another new favourite boat. The interior is absolutely stunning, love the woodwork. Those cabins are really great. And good to see that the crew are also properly catered for, with a very nice mess area in the galley. And what a great galley as well. Nice and big.
Hi Nick, This is a nice Superyacht tour this Benetti Classic 115 from 2001 with a classic theme through the whole yacht I like that with the salon very classic then the bar in the middle great place there so that divide the dining from the salon, the master on the main deck looks very nice below four cabins 2 twins and 2 doubles all ensuite a good size sky lounge to withdraw after the dining Great Show Nick ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is what I have always thought of as a ‘proper’ yacht. The blending of the high shine of the wood and the other furnishings, makes it feel more like a real luxury yacht. Rather than the bland and mundane modern finish, of, so called, super yachts , that, to me, resemble the modern interiors of a cheap hotel chain. Just my humble opinion, as a grumpy old man, who has grown up with this style of boat/yacht, that inspired me to take up yachting in the first place, ha ha me hearties 🤣
At 13:11 the hinges on the door to the engine room are perfect, they don't impede entrance or exit, by being so massive. Nick is also impressed with big chunky hinges. Whereas when selling this boat for 4 1/2 million euros, I envision the salesman pointing and says, "look at those hinges, how massive they are, aren't they great!" with the buyer nodding in agreement. You're buying the boat, not the... hinges!
I think you deserve a drink for enduring the music, plenty of wood to see and bar space too. Hopefully the crew saw you right as it were. A lovely boat and a good excuse to get lost at sea.
How are the other boats able to blare their music that loud ?? That's just rude to everyone else. I'd be having strong words with them if they wouldn't be respectful to their neighbors, boomers hate bad manners. Great tour, another beautiful classic interior. Well done, sir. Sorry you had to deal with rudeness from others
What an absolute beauty in Superyachts. Stunning interior and design. Oh, if I only I could win the lottery Nick, this is the one I would love to call my own.
That's some great woodwork! The interior quality is the type I like to see. Aside from the narrow walkway between the shower and the tub, the master was quite nice as well. What a unique moment when you need to go into the engine room for some peace and quiet! It seems the other people thought "louder = better" and tried to drown each other out. Music these days just isn't as good at the 90's and before. Thanks for the tour!
Great tour of a lovely, classic Benetti. The woodwork is rich and sumptuous. Layout quite good, and the ample crew mess with window in the galley is generous for the age of the yacht. You can tell the age of the yacht by the lack of an y social area in the bow. The engine spaces look cramped in some areas and a bit jumbled, and there is no space to stow a decent-sized tender. But overall a very appealing yacht if you are prepared for high maintenance costs associated with 23 year-old machinery and acres of high-gloss, intricate woodwork.
It's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 but Mr Burnham sir hey it's a Benetti and a Classic to boot, great find as every, I love the wood work along with the rest of the furnishings and fittings with the layout very very nice,nothing negative to say on this one all hail Super Yacht Sundays! Nick all though being of similar age I still listen to some of the"kids" music I couldn't work out what was being polayed,it was so muffled I think you'll be OK on the possible copy right strike,any way all the best from Cornwall 🤗👍🖖
Of all the modern boats you tour, these 115 classics are my favorite. A pity the music caused this one to be a bit rushed, but can't be helped. Hope you come across another one soon.
It’s so loud. The yacht is at rest and it’s so loud! I would hate to be a guest in any of the lower cabins. The best thing about this boat is the very classic look. Thanks for the great tour.
Yes what can I say. That was the style at the time over 20 years ago. Surely there will be those who like it with the fine woodwork. Thanks for the viewing.
I’m really taken by the high gloss wood finishes on these vintage yachts. The main salon flows very nicely and makes entertaining very easy Thank you for the Great tour Nick,
I'm not usually a big fan of the "traditional" look but when it's done as well as that it's lovely! . Seems like very good value for money too. I know it's 23 years old but it looks brand new after the refit. Multi-millionaires should be grateful that there are plenty of billionaires to pass on their used bargains !!
Wonderful review Nick. Ever the professional, coping with music with ease! I’m not a fan of the acres of high gloss woodwork, but a stunning yacht all the same.
A beautiful classic yacht, I love the wood work such a nice glossy colour. I like the layout too on this one, nice finishes throughout. Great tour Nick thank you.
Beautiful boat 👌🏻. Reminds me of M/Y Cacique that I spent some time on. Hope you get chance to tour her one day! (let me know and I'll come with you, for reminiscing reasons! 😂)
I'm with you as far as modern music goes.. thump thump does nothing for me especially when your in a Classic Benetti. What a beautiful yacht , thanks for the tour.
A beautiful Benetti. A mix of Art deco and turn of the (Last) century first class areas on old liners. Surprised you didn't stow away Nick! I know I would.😄 I can never understand the need for excessive loud music at shows like that. Don't get me wrong I'm a Hard Rock / metal fan. Every body tries to out do the next guy and you find a hearing aid stand at the exit doing more business than the boat sales. 😆
That's my style, though the retractable TV in the master seems to waste a bit more storage space, so i'd have just wall-mounted it. Apart from that, love it!!
All you need now is a grand piano and Humphrey Bogart telling Sam to play it again for Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca, not my sort of boat but thanks Nike for the tour.
I think the high gloss wood interior works with the age of the boat, that said I wouldn’t want to be the person in charge of keeping it all clean. I love this era of yachts, they don’t seem so brash. Nice tour Nick, despite the racket,
I don't understand how you do it - I look, oh, here's another Aquaholic "superboat" yadayada and then - oops- a joy. Lookee here, and o by the way here are two, TWO fourteen hundred horsepower engines that can go 12 knots for 3,000 miles! Tiki brekkers, anyone? Hold my beer, please.
Ohhhhhh classy Bernetti she maybe an older designed boat, but she holds her own with her younger built sisters. Nice galley crew cabins look comfortable. Top deck is comfortable but stylish and then up to the sun deck. She got the range 3000 nautical miles, a serious cruiser with some serious water toys. As for the music 🎵🎶🎵 that's music oh if you say so. 😂
