This boat just ticked every box! She's a beauty!

Absolutely gorgeous, a proper boat with the ultimate engine configuration, nothing but nothing beats Gardners for dependability , it's only this type of boats that makes me stop to watch the complete video. I'd buy that in a heartbeat if I'd the money! Excellent video.

I am a retired marine engineer, and yes - that is one nice engine room. All that's needed is a tub of Swarfega by the sink, and a boiler suit hanging up to dry. Lovely little ship.

I've watched hundreds of yacht walk throughs and sailed on quite a few, but this is my absolute favourite. I'd give up many a multi million quid mega yacht for this beautiful old lady in a heartbeat.❤❤

Absolute perfection. Probably the most beautiful motor boat I’ve ever seen on any channel. Just sublime.

I'm a sucker for older yachts, there is just a certain elegance and charm about them, as well as a distinct character these older vessels seem to have. I have to say she's an efficient Lady, with 6000L carrying her 4000NM and with plenty of deck space forward for a couple toys along with a reasonable sized tender for trips to shore or a bit of fishing. Thank you John, for giving us a detailed walk through of M/Y 'Ferrara' and for giving boats like her a premium showcase to shine! I truly hope you make it to 100K subscribers this year John. I can think of no other channel that puts the time in on these boats to give them this type of presentation, combined with your experience onboard boats in all categories of seas that gives you a perspective that some reviewers just lack. Keep up the Fantastic work!!! - Dave

What a gem. 60 years old and it looks 6.

Thar is a real boat. And the simplicity of yhe interior design is in line with the notion that a boat is first and foremost made for sea travel and no show off. Congratulations to all involved in the making of this visit and video.

Wow that’s pure class. Why am I such a sucker for the craftsmanship back in the day?

In a world of increasingly generic boat designs, it is refreshing to see such a beautiful craft bringing form and function together. Thank you for an excellent tour.

Fabulous boat and the engine room was just stunning with the dry exhaust system...Gardner Engines, everything was spotless, showing great care and meticulous maintenance.

I want it. I love in the PNW of America.... Perfect for the Puget sound & trips into British Columbia....

I was on a sister ship, built in Buckie By HM " My Arvor " Did an Atlantic Crossing from Las Palmas to Barbados, with then owner Steve Pope.. Newport RI Summer 87 Time of our lives

Bridge-mounted Marshall amplification 🎸

She,s a Honey . Well worth what ever owner is asking . Go anywere . Manual Gardener gearboxes , Not used seen in awhile, You can sail down a wave and Push start engines if have flat batterys , Unreal. Thank you from South Australia .

Anything with Gardner power is awesome

Beautifully presented traditional motor yacht powered by the very best of marine diesels.

Oh, John... You've REALLY excelled yourself with this beauty. She's in outstanding condition. This is definately the best one I've seen in a while. I'd happily pass over the Nordhavn boats for the timeless style and sheer elegance of this magnificent and timeless craft. Very tasteful and seamless integration of classic and modern technology here. I'd happily give up everything and live on this with my dog as the Captain! 👍

Always thought, that boats/trawlers of this vintages, was a bit too "odd/old" for me - but this one is truly marvelous.... It is not contemporary Italian decor, as I think I really fancy - but seeing your video on this one, I more or less could see myself living on this months at a time..... it really stands out - and oddly enough - could be a contestant to my all-time favorites, the Arksen 85 and Numarine 26XP... Thanks you for showing this nice vessel to all of us...

I adore that yacht! Its range is impressive, which I certainly appreciate. It's a stunning vessel with a timeless design that I absolutely love.

Indeed, it's a beautiful boat 😊

I corresponded with the owner when he purchased her, hope I was helpful. His renovation is stunning, so impressive, beyond words. One nugget I might add is that she is slimmer and lower than most Herdies and my understanding was that it was so she could travel UK to theMed through France. Whether that's still possible I don't know but wouldn't that be a great cruise!

anybody that has a Marshal amp in the wheelhouse must be bad ass

This boat reminds me of MY Chico built for Sir Malcombe Campbel in Goole as his Scottish boat. Re-fitted with a pair of Gardners that replaced the Glenifers and on the three week trip from London to Sail Amsterdam as part of the Dunkirk Little Ships contingent I was lucky enough to crew. Chico was owned by the ADLS Commadore and later sold, and I understand is doing charter work in Scotland.

What a beauty, only needed now is money :D

2 masts, 2 engines and 1 Yacht Buoy what a hoot!

As a yacht builder,I can say that with twin modern engines (Volvo or Cummins) todays selling price for a new built of a sister ship will be around 1.5 million.

The electrical management was quite satisfactory!

What a beautiful and timeless classic.

That old girl is a work of art beautiful

I really mean this.I hope that you continue to do this.Especially down inside the ship where you don't have outside noises and everything else.I really like this format.I hope you continue to do it.Alright thank you very much.

I have seen a sistership, 'Southern Cross London', and she is a gem... A previous owner of that vessel whom I knew pretty well - He loved her... The canoe stern does give such vessels some elegance, and there is less corkscrew in a blow, etc., but to me, the Gardners will be forever classic. I think SCL is presently located in Brisbane.

What a beautiful boat!

Pure eye candy, what a beautiful boat.

Whow, can’t get better.

One look at her lines screams traditional Scottish built fishing hull, and as a result, regardless of stabilisers etc she will be a phenomenal sea boat.

Those engines are works of art.

One of the most lovely boats you've ever done!

beautiful, stunning want her, can see spending months and months chilling out on her decks

Stunning! My kind of boat. Style and class!

Absolutely stunning 👍👏👏

Love that gorgeous boat!!

Nice Boat! Love the nostalgia

Great tour of an incredible vessel…thanks for sharing!!👍👍👏👏

Hooray for small cabins, hooray for sinks in cabins.

Beautiful vessel. Thanks for the tour.

She is an extremely beautiful boat. Thank you for sharing

Just gorgeous!

Reminds me of a Fleming. What a beautiful yacht

You say I think there are only three still afloat, I know Marandi (Mary and I) was last seen rotting on the shore in Penryn above Falmouth, and mine is lying at the bottom of Polensa Bay (You Tube: Wreck of Andrea Ferrara), that leaves Cromarty, Skomer (the Tasmanian one I think), Astra Volante, Kytra, (touring in Greece I think), Arvor, (last heard of in Maine), and of course Ferrara. I didn't know more than two were written off tell more.

Restoration/renovation looks wonderful and the interior spaces were particularly well done, incorporating a contemporary design while retaining a classic feel of the original. Must wait and see how much the price will be reduced to move this.

Such a stately boat.so practical

What a beautiful boat🎉❤

Exceptional quality boat ❤

Sweet boat

Beautiful boat.

Awesome!

Beautiful

Another outstanding video of a great classic beauty 😍

Very nice tour of a quite lovely boat. I've had an eye on her for a few years. Pretty discreet I don't hear mention a young Pete Townsend owned this for a good bit....

Thank you for sharing!

Absolutely beautiful❤

Absolute stunner!

lovely yacht

In the years I’ve been watching yacht walk-throughs this is one of the very few I’ve done all the way through more than once. First rate tour of a magnificent vessel. Thank you! [edit - make that 4 times through now I think in the days since first posting. It’s interesting to note as the layout sinks in over those viewings, for all its luxurious, gorgeous expanse, there’s actually not a lot of indoor lounging space. Had I the misfortune of having to truly decide if I was to purchase, for my northern climes I night need to refit the interior a bit - say take out that credenza with the TV and replace with some lovely old leather club chairs across from the dinette for those chilly late fall and early spring voyages. Sigh....such terrible problems to have to solve. 😊]

lovely

What an absolutely wonderful boat. I think this might be one of your best mate. :)

In the 70 ‘s in own one out of Peterhead, I built in a 8 cylinder Gardner engine. A wonderfull engine.

Very beautiful ship

Thanks Yacht Bouy, great vid. Just went to check the PDF details out and it may just be me but it looks to be missing LOA, Beam and Draft. and would be nice to see a layout. nice boat too

Oh my I am in love, she is lovely a great boat for a single owner would need a full time hand (Crew member) to polish, vanish, touch up and maintain her though. I love the look and styling of this craft I can not fault it. Could happily live out my former years on this!

Precioso barco.

Absolutely stunning John! Makes me wishing I had an extra 1M quid, LOL Cheers!

it's a beautiful boat wished i had £695 to spare xx

Come on now, Saluting without you hat on , and with your left hand into the bargain . shocking display from an experienced matelot😀

I love to have this to Sail the Seychelles Archipelago my beloved country

Very nice boat for the money.

Magnifique reportage ❤😂

I think this is one of the best tours you've done. The yacht is a piece of artwork hats off to the owner. But to snap me back I'm going to watch Sea Ranger.

Hi John, recently discovered this channel. Really love it as I have a crush on these trawler styles (although I have a planing boat myself). Well produced and interesting!

Thanks!

Amazing ship thanks I want it

What a lovely boat! It's hard to believe the age

Great💯💯💯💯💯👏👏👏👏👏👏⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️

She's a wee beauty! If I had the money, I'd take her home and do a grand tour of Scotland and all the Islands, and after that, the rest of the UK too 😃 That'd keep me busy for a fair bit, I imagine! Stairs look about as steep as on a Type 42! One of the companies I worked for did a good deal of work with the forces, so I got to go aboard a few times, and always ended up with a big bruise across my forehead from smacking my head off the upper deck hatch on the way down stairs... and I'm a shortarse, I don't know how tall Yacht Buoys managed! 😆

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

I want it!

Hi, a very beautiful boat,but I did take note that there were no leeboards on the bunks,being chucked about by the mucky weather that she is obviously built for,I love her.I worked on Gardner engines as an apprentice,great machines that will last a lifetime with correct maintenance,love them.cheers,Roly🇬🇧.

What a wonderful, beautiful yacht!

What a grand yacht and so much good value if the selling price is correct (?) Well presented too by your self.

Nice. Not quite "Fair Lady", but more within the budget.

Very interesting yacht! But away too many stairs for me.

As much as you miss, you will find someone to give it to, that's fine

Peter Gore Seer, I Like The Craft Moving On The Sea.

Yes nice boat - I have a question you said it was ketch rigged is that means sail power as well?

❤❤

A beautiful boat. I'd love to know where the Tasmanian one is moored!

Much want.

Have a look at Elley Grey another Gardner engined yacht but delivered in 2012 and cheaper !
