Totally agree. I mean they’re beautiful ships, but their toys that you really can’t take truly out to sea. This beast you could sail pretty much any ocean in the world and stay out as long as your fuel and food held out. You could travel to the most remote places where people normally don’t go.
@@shable1436 Well what a surprise that a former scallop trawler looks industrial. lol No matter how much rebuilding they're doing, you'll always see the original, industrial ship underneath all the "luxury" stuff they put in it.
Perfect combination of industrial toughness & good practical interior. No gold plated taps or rare Picasso artwork here !!! A conversion to be proud off. ⚓⛵
Well. Yes but It has a lot of non-marine equipment probably not made for the job. It uses the same airr contidioner you would have at home. its not going to resist at sea.
@@polviaortega3709 It uses 16 Fujitsu air conditioners so they can be swapped out easily if one fails...so they don't waste time being stuck in port...did you not watch the video?
That is one impressive boat. I was a machinist mate aboard a US naval vessel back in the 60s. That would be an engineer on a merchant vessel. I'm impressed with the height of that engineering space. Some videos I have seen of larger yachts people had to duk when walking through the engine room. They did a great job on the conversion. The whole vessel looks comfortable. Thanks for showing it.
I worked on a scallop dragger from Newfoundland and none of them were like this. lol. I love this boat and every aspect of it. The master cabin shower was over the top amazing. I can't say enough. Perfection. Simply stunning. I'm in love.
Functional, rugged, go-anywhere. A lot of space! Not dripping luxury-to-impress-the-Monaco-crowd, but very comfortable…and you can sail this ship from Alaska to Monaco!
I'm pleasantly surprised how spacious and comfortable-looking guest accommodations and crew areas are designed, which is almost per with the owner's accomodation. This is truly a boat of hospitality!
I've wayched a lot of yacht tour videos and this is definately my favorite one. It is the style i would want. The interior has a great classic nautical look. The white ships lath walls, metal light fixtures and port hole doors are perfect. It even has a wood stove! It's plenty comfortable, it just looks like a ship instead of a floating mansion. Thanks for sharing an in depth tour of this amazing vessel.
Best vessel yet, John. Really appreciated this tour. The conversion from what it was to what it has become is extremely impressive. The most impressive conversion aspect, for me, was how large the showers were in the guest accommodations. And every cabin was given that same treatment. The boat would qualify as my dream live-aboard vessel for all of its capabilities. The range is perhaps the most enviable of all its capabilities. Well done, John. Well done.
Terrific video tour. They feel the same whether the boat is 50' or 130'. Just more or less minutes, but your attitude is not jaded in my opinion. The owner captains!!! Great job showing off this boat with the before and after photos.
As a A&P Technician the engine room and shop areas are real nice. If I owned that gorgeous ship I would pilot it and do the maintenance and do some fishing. What a really nice vessel to travel and live on, it would be a dream retirement go to. .
To say I was impressed is an understatement. What a vessel! Out of all the many boats I have seen tours off this is my favourite. Very functional. That galley is awesome. The crew quarters are the best I have seen yet. The work area is a tinkerer's dream. I would be happy as a pig in you-know-what living aboard this. Thanks John for finding this unique one.
I think you have done it. I believe that you have found the most perfect boat/yacht on the water. It has so much more than all the other floating homes on the open seas and that 7,000 mile range is the best part, but I'm not totally sure about actually saying that because there are just to many excellent parts and areas that fight for the spot of top or best part of a boat. I didn't find not even one area I dislike and for a person who has a bad case of OCD and very picky, I know the owner will not sell her in my lifetime but I would just love to be able to spend a week onboard and travel anywhere this boat and crew go because just being able to go is a journey in its own. Only if I could go, but physically I am not able to do anything anymore but I still can dream of those days of old when I was able to get up and go. I hope and pray everyone out there never gives up on their dreams, an don't let the old man into your body to take over. It's down hill from there, down inside the hole in the ground. Share your love, it's the glue that holds everything together in our Universe, an that is God's honest truth. Go Find your true love an hold onto them tightly and be happy with them, or you can get a pet because pets only need our true love, food and water to live and they return our live 10x back to us. Plus it's the same for us humans. This is my number one boat on my list of favorites out of several thousand other boats I've seen. I have been very picky com8ng up with my list, and this one has blew way ahead of everything I had and it added so much more to my list others don't have. I love this boat over everyone of those other boats. Hard honest truth.
What an absolutely beautiful yacht. I'm totally in love with every bit of it. ❤ Thank you for filming her, and for the brilliant informative narration. I couldn't afford her, but if by some miracle I had that opportunity, I'd definitely circumnavigate the world. finally; the crew quarters' are fanastic. Thank you also to the owner for enabling us to view her. 10/10.
If I ever had the money, this is the sort of thing I'd go for. From the Arctic to the Antarctic and everything in between. The only thing I'd need to add is some amateur radios :)
This from a non-seafaring individual, but one who appreciates ability over pretty. The first expedition yacht i ever laid eyes on was a 76-foot Great Southern, built in Australia, I believe. Impressed as I still am with that yacht, this one takes "capability" to a whole new level. The fact that she was a North Atlantic trawler (if the first pictures are accurate, she was a fisherman) makes her probably one of the toughest yachts around. It would most likely scare me to death, but I believe she could weather even the toughest storms and not bat an eye. She's a badass. Couple that with the ability to travel nearly a third of the way around the globe without stopping is simply awesome. This is one of those yachts of which you could well say, "She may not be the prettiest girl at the ball, but when the going gets tough, she'll be right there with you." Great video, and exactly my idea of a perfect expedition yacht.
Yeah absolutly stunning vessel, it has been done really well, what a great piece of kit for globe trotting, the size of hte accommodation and cabins is amazing.
It's boat designed like home sea home... spacious cabin,split AC instead of central.each part looks like standalone comfy place yet sum of all such space on yacht makes it wholesome secure n fun experience.thanks for video.❤
A really successful conversion, especially the creative preservation of the history as a working ship. 100 points from Berlin, hehe, thanx for showing and greets ... ☠❤☠
Love seeing old ships refitted, did a wonderful job all around and the kitchen is larger than most yachts twice this size. Only thing that seems off is I don't know why they didn't invest in a central air system.
I am sure the chef on Nero is jealous of the galley and crew accommodation on this ship. It is fantastic. Definitely a beautiful ship to work on and to enjoy. Cheers. 🫡
Wow! A great refit of a workhorse to a luxury yacht. Liked the simple clapboard style throughout the boat. The guest accommodations were very spacious. And the crew quarters looked very comfortable. All ready to handle the Artic or the Antarctic! Very nice tour BTW.
Another captain glassing this vessel from 2 or 3 NM might prepare to have to. This ship looks like military or Coast Guard on the exterior. Tasteful and very comfortable interior conversion. Impressive galley, and the pilot house was truly incredible. What a pleasure it must be to captain this vessel from that amazing helm. If the owner isn't rated, or just not hands on, I would guess that minimum crew for open ocean cruising would be comprised of captain, 1st mate/engineer, cook/ chief steward, 2 mates/deckhands, asst cook/ steward. The crew quarters are stellar, and would be a great appeal and a selling point for experienced crew. I can see this vessel being capable of cruising all seas, most conditions. The range offers many enticing options for destination and course plotting. This vessel can confidently cruise arctic latitudes with that reinforced bow and stern. Very impressive expedition vessel. Thank you for the comprehensive video tour. What will the asking price be?
What a great canvas for a hybrid explorer refit (I'm thinking of the Northern Marine "Take Home Device (Proportional Drive)," given the large generators in the engine room) with a large house LiFePO4 System. I would advocate for a substantial flybridge hardtop with integrated solar array and biminis fore & aft with flexible solar panels for anchored power augmentation. A large kite-sail system for downwind passages would further increase efficiencies.
Such a well refurbished vessel. Everything seems practical and easy to use and easy to get to different areas on the vessel, I’d like it if it were mine that’s for sure. Great idea having two ( 2 ) Tenders. Bit surprised that there’s only one driving engine, great idea for having i think 3 generators. As someone has said in the comments previously, no gold plated taps or rare Picasso artwork, I think it’s rather good. Hey YachtBouy, when you were doing the tour for use to watch, I think you may have made a mistake, I think you may have meant “ sauna “ not “ spa “.
Amazing boat. Dare I say, it almost has a 'small ship feel'. :) Great tour vid, and I think the variety of boats you show on your channel are second to none.
Hi,you ask for people’s opinions,well,i was very impressed by the quality of the rebuild, i love the old galley chimneys reminiscent of my old trawler days.I have said before that I am not in favour of exposed swim platforms,the accommodation although superbly finished the white plank wood finish throughout with white tiling in the showers was too much for me,but that could be personalised. As always thank you for the tour done in its very professional manner.Cheers ,Roly🇬🇧.
I've been watching ship videos for over 5 years and have seen thousands of magnificent yachts and boats worthy of my money, this one I'd buy in a heart beat.
Very cool! A very unique boat. I get the feeling that I'm getting a tour of a middle class house in the US from the late 1990s. The details (like the sockets, lights, faucets, tiles etc etc etc) are all very normal - like they are bought from Home Depot. A lot of stuff seems to be an afterthought, or done as cheaply as possible - like putting the huge AC/heating units in all these rooms, instead of installing a central system with thermostats in the rooms. Love the floor plan and size of the rooms though.
The advantages of using Heat exchanger splits are many. The individual cabin units provide heating and cooling, are incredibly energy efficient, are almost silent, have their own handheld control and thermostat, refrigerant lines from the main unit are small diameter copper pipes not ducts and easy to run, significantly less expensive to install, really cheap to replace by anyone and get anywhere in the world quickly. Only negatives I can think of are each unit has a condensation drain that needs to piped out somewhere and the heat exchange units being exposed at sea are an unknown maintenance question, but they are also easy to replace individually rather than having a single central air break down.
That yacht is 🤩!! Beautiful engine room. For people like me that know nothing about this topic-what would be an estimate for how much it cost to rebuild her? When I win the Powerball I’d love to have something like this. 😉
I endlessly dream about living on a craft like this one. .. Yet I live a life of painful injury….i don’t have money or a crew. I once did have them…I miss them badly. Well….back to my daydreams, thanks for listening……Tom
