Crossing the English Channel on a Ferretti 450 | Motor Boat & Yachting 

More of these kinds of videos with more affordable boats please!

Ah, beautiful Jersey. I lived there for17 years, still miss the place. Corbiere lighthouse looks great perched on top of the rock. Excellent video Nick, now I'm home sick :) Cheers,

Just found your channel. Great to see the boat out on the water. Constant smile on my face watching this. Great job!

Love your tours. Keep up your dedication and desire to provide such wonderful post about watercraft.

Can't believe I missed this video. Almost doesn't look like a boat... the interior looks like a small house. Fantastic

Can you do the duck next?

Great video Nick. Great tour/at sea combo!

That was wicked cool! Been across in the Chunnel only but now I can say I know what it’s like on a boat! Love it. Need more of these vids

5.21 German concrete emplacement on the cliff. Great video, more like this please.

Great show, thanks for showing a bit of poole harbour 🙂

Fantastic looking boat, real passion from the owner/designer. I can feel the love and pedigree put into the build. Just great. Would have appreciated some more technical details. Elnght, beam, engines etc. However I will research some more on this beautiful craft.

Looks like ”rocket launchers”. Love it! Keep up the good work, love the channel. // Sweden

love the feretti interiours .... even the older ones ... former boss of my wife has a 2002 76 ... awesome boat .... oh and nice watch there ;)

Beautiful boat, made light work of the chop. It’s just over 3 times the length of my speedboat, and about 12 times the horsepower, I’d have struggled with some of those waves but I’d try Dover-Calais in perfect conditions. I managed to reach Fiskardo from Nidri (Greek islands) but then the afternoon wind came up and it got a bit too choppy so had to find a mooring and a cheap hotel room and come back early next morning!

Nice boat Nick, like your Aquaholic channel better though ;-)

Very nice boat, great video. Not sure I like to pod at the fly bridge with the plotter in it

Thought I was seeing things for a sec. Opened up a MB&Y video and Nick greets me. lol

Love the video, you need to make more videos with Sea trials they are brilliant

Everyone, let's all pitch in and get Nick a pop filter for his microphone. Then, as a "thanks" he can take us 1 by 1 for a ride on "Smugglers Blues" Of course, we will have to get to the UK ourselves. Lol , me, I'm in Northeast USA, so might take me a while. Sound like a plan ?

If I was those Ribs going to Poole as well I’d have sat right between your wake all the way. Nice and smooth crossing. 😁👌

I think the boat trips are the best. More please

2:04 Those look an awful like the same containers the Colombian Cartel use to transport South American Indigenous peoples hand made trinkets and jewellery 100% organically made from coca plant leaves. They call it "Miele" which in the Indigenous jargon is pronounced "kohkayne."

No worries Nick. Those little boats are your ride home. Have fun, Jerry

Really enjoyed the shots of instrumentation, outside views, coastal landmarks and shipping. Not so much the facial conversations though. Never an easy balance but you can talk over the other views.

the boat behind me, no not the duck made me laugh

Some of the best views of land are from the water! It looked a perfect day for crossing the channel so we didn't see the boat under any stress but speed. You had a delivery crew of three: what were their purposes?

For such a large boat I think there was a bit too much hull slapping, not to mention the ‘ wet’ ride it makes on the windows. Thanks for the review.

Yet again another great video 👍

OK you had the quiet fun on the crossing did you give a hand on the wash down ????

Hi Nick. You dou reviews in the MBY magazine. Video tours Aquaholic, happy days on smugglers blues. Wow.

02:04 rocket launcher :) thumps up

Nice boat but the helm instrumentation is very light. No analogue dials. If I had a boat in the channel I'd be constantly nipping across to Calais for their fantastic chips... hmmm they're divine

thanks nick!

More of these videos please. 👍👍

80 litres per hour per engine is about £84 in marine diesel which sounds scary but a hotel & tickets even if you don’t fly to cross would cost more & be less convenient / fun..

Nick Burnham is the man! A great presenter ...

Thanks for that Nick. Think I'll stick with the larger yachts/vessels. I was almost sea sick at my desk on this one😂😂😂😂

As is so often the case Nick, two heads are better than one. 🤣🤣🤣

Definitely notice how much more quieter a Princess is while cruising along in some of your videos. Not sure if that’s the equipment you where using or they are really that much more well built?

More rocket launchers, make it so. lol

I couldn’t even afford to be a deck hand on one of these boats, but I sure like to do the walk through like it’s 5 grand and I’m looking for a co-signer! Haha

@Motor Boat & Yachting, Forgive me asking, the display screens on the 450; why SO wide but only the 2 tiny little screens in the centre?? Thanks

Ride is very choppy. I guess typical for planing hull in rough sea. Displacement hull would do better?

Next up, the duck!

Really like the video. Well done. Silly question maybe but why was the boat, which was made in Italy, in Jersey when delivery is in Poole?

£1040.00 in fuel to get from Jersey...that's not too bad.

Always look forward to opening RU-vid to be greated with 1 of your vids nick. Makes my lunch break :) I'm no fan of Italian boats and this is no different. I'd rather any UK manufactured boat over this.

Nice boat, but love the Coke.

Nice boat, steering wheel looks uncomfortable

Rocket Launchers, stowaways and they even let you drive. good day.

I was hoping you took the duck, make a nice change!

I wish he reviewed the duck 🦆 April fools idea maybe?

Not fond of the step up idea... it looks like a tripping hazard to me - and I don't see any functional reason for it. If it is for head room below then maybe a ramp up instead? Step ups in the main walkway are just a bad idea on any boat, but especially coming from the galley to the dining area since it is likely (according to Murphy) that you will have scalding hot food in your hand when (not if) you trip.

Rolex GMT "Coke" at 4:30

Great video as usual!! I have a fuel consumption question. You say 18 litres per hour per engine, total 36litres per hour at let’s say 25mph (maybe more) that works out at a little over 3mpg? That seems extremely good for this boat or have I got my maths wrong?

Nice yacht and nice Rolex GMT, but surely a Submariner would be more appropriate?

Lovely place to sail from

Can I ask what camera you use. Quality is very good

How long do you recon it will take from torquay to jersey? Have you done it with your smugglers blues 2?

Can you tell me how much the fuel cost would be on a boat like that for the channel crossing you did ?

When was this filmed? The chain ferry is never working these days!!

Don't you have to radio in or something with border control?

Could you do this trip in your Jeanneau? Not that im asking you to do it, but was interesses of your boat could do it when it comes to range etc. Greetings from the Netherlands

Cool video.

Would I would like you should have said as we here love you from the USA is how long is the miles to cross from were you letf from and how long it took

Cummings engines on Italian boats you don’t hear that very often

Looks a bit tight downstairs

Kind of sad, I saw you were piloting the boat and perhaps wanted to engage some of the particulars of making a crossing, but almost impossible hear you.

Is it possible you could do a review of a Jeanneau leader 46 pls

Has Nick got two RU-vid channels, then?

so that cost about a grand in fuel for that trip alone?

How much is a boat like this?

£650,000for a GRP boat which is fitted like a small cheap caravan. My goodness.

80 litres per hour per engine ....... think I will stick with my 6.5m Beneteau cabin & 140hp I think - 80 litres will last me all day !

12.5 gfoit bram vs q4.5 fiut bram 2 mlre feet wider

The view from the inside helm seems a bit constraint.

Rocket launchers?? Who were you delivering this boat to ??

Do Plymouth to rocoff

Very nice boat! But why only a small single screen at the helm in the cockpit? Sneaky owner, or?

That's whete my Viking relatives are from. Renouf/Regenwulf

4:29. Rolex Submariner PEPSI. Not too shabby. Xd

Hi nick / did you say 80 litres of fuel per engine per hour?

Good Lord that architecture surrounding the Jersey marina. We need a standards authority which puts the brakes on building bulk ratboxes in nice locations for weekenders. No ubiquitous international bolshevik style allowed. It wasn't impossible in the past to make things that looked good, were functional and represented the historical tenor of the place that they were placed in, therefore it shouldn't be now. This would not only please the eye, but i'm sure, bring far more long term value to the structures that are built, not only for the those viewing the built landscape around them, but for those whom have invested in these places too. It would engender pride in place, rather than just baseline utility. Of course we can't have that anymore now can we. No, no.

Nice

Don't know if we needed to see the Rolex nick, just say the time

What is the app on the iPad ?

Hellooo! Try chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo it's a life transforming philosophy which I have been practicing for 9 years! I chant to the Gohonzon.

Can you do a walkround of jeanneu prestige 440 or 450

How much does it costs?

What nav app were you using on the iPad at 6:14?

HI, I have just taken on the roll of Fletcher head of sales, could we have a chat?

Rocket launchers are feather flag holders

I heard old Harry

Not a bad job, eh!?

Jacket on and life jacket??? Thought you where on A Yacht???

Very nice 👍

Duck Off!

We will not be allowed cars, but yachts with 1000 HP engines will be OK?

80 Litre per engine per hour, £200 per hour. Makes flying helicopters feel cheap.

It is "Cummins" not "Cummings" engines.
