Ever wondered how we transport our yachts to Boot Dusseldorf? Watch our documentary 'How to handle a Princess' to discover the journey of the Princess 35M from the Mediterranean to Dusseldorf in 2018.
I was Sent here by a recommendation from Aquaholic, brilliant video and the effort and attention to detail of everyone involved in that project is formidable
Princess Yachts, you owe Nick from Aquaholic a favour after his recommendation for this vid....bringing you thousands of viewers!!! Have to say....very interesting....whole way I was like, is all this worth it to have this one boat, but what a boat it is!!! The effort and attention to detail for this is awesome!!
Amazing video. Always wondered about the logistics of moving boats to the show. Thank you Princess and the teams involved, a world class professional operation and a fantastic looking yacht.
very nice video! Was sent here by Aquaholic. Now I dream of a review by Aquaholic of this beautiful ship! Providing the generous owner would agree, of course! The ship can't get better publicity than from Aquaholic. :)
Ok, but how are other boats brought to the show? Is it that hard for other manufacturers as well? Btw, I am also here because of Aquaholic’s recommendation :)
They come the same way but motoring them selves up river. Then hoisted out by Big Willy. This was just to big of a boat, and they did not want to put hrs on the enginges, since it was a customer boat.
Question. For what reason exactly, would the owner be enticed to provide is yacht for this. I cannot think of any reason why. Can some answer please genuine question
The only person who can answer that is the owner. However Princess are a fantastic company to by a yacht from, I bought one from them myself and their customer service is second to none so the owner will have a great relationship with them. Also another incentive is it came out of the water in February and princess obviously lifted, serviced, cleaned, anti-fouled and detailed the whole boat free of charge and that is not cheap on any yacht let alone a 35m one!
I didn't listen to Aquaholic, I found you through RU-vid. Impressive project management and demonstrates the expenses involved in marketing these big boats. Wouldn't it be cheaper to dish out colour brochures with a 50 Euro note tucked in each copy, instead of all that fuss? ;)
Has the corona virus has got a say in all this? Unless it'll be a social distancing boat show, which sort of defeats the whole purpose of having such a public event.
Short answer - NO Longer answer - Boot Dusseldorf takes place in January, before coronavirus was identified as such a major issue as far as 2020 is concerned, but the video is about the 2018 show anyway, as it clearly states in the description.
why dont they just drive the boats from a to b on their own engine and why dont they just build the hal lat the river with a BIG pier with a BIG crane on it ??? this is just waste of time and money.!
