Love the amount of storage partly due to using outboards. WHAAAAAT Victoria not opening storage 😂. Rico being pushy, Victoria "Heeeeyy" 😂😂 Meanwhile she's got her priority straight : protect the footage 😉😉
A pity you didn't talk (or show) more about the hydrofoils. I would have liked to know if there's some controls or if they're just fixed. How much is the lift effect?
Most of the power cats with foils are fixed. This is probably a very similar design to what is used on the Aquila 36, Insetta 35ifc and the Hysucat line. Those have the fixed main wing just forward of the center of gravity with the lowest point of the wing about even with the bottom of the hulls, this is the main point of lift. Then slightly in front of the transoms there are little "wing-lets" that stick out and down into the tunnel to slightly lift the stern. These aren't intended to lift the hulls completely out of the water like you see on the America's Cup yachts or on military hydrofoils.
It has a fixed foil and it is the only foil on these cats. The bow gets lifted out of the water approx 40cm's if I remember correctly. There are zipwakes on the transom.
@@robinjonkman187 So a simpler system from the brands I mentioned, that's in line with the rest of the K.I.S.S. design of the rest of the boat. Thanks for that info!
I like the technology, but the cabin is not something I like. There are too many changes that I would make for that to be my ideal boat. Yet as a ship, I like it.
Interesting boat…….didn’t know Yamaha made engines that big. I think you need to bring some snacks with you on these reviews. Keep them under your hat 👒😃👍
@@michaelmaas5544 I believe you're thinking of the Mercury Verado V-12 600. Last time I peeked at their site (just now), the 425 XTO is the biggest outboard from Yamaha.
@@michiganengineer8621 you are correct, not sure what I was thinking. Funny to be corrected by someone from Michigan because that’s where I live as well.
This would be a great in and out boat and have friends out on islands and parties. You two are great I really enjoy watching your videos, the two of you together makes the magic work...there is no other Yacht channel equal to yours. Thank you
@@NautiStyles Yes, it is about 1.5million not alot more than that one and 1000 times more useful and can go anywhere with it This boat would work good for military. In a more industrial set up.
Its Dutch build, the labor cost is in the Netherlands mutch higher than in Turkey. Bering is also in a tax free zone. The taxes in The Netherlands are high.
Great tour. I don't think I'd like getting out of bed in the middle of the night to use the head. Up & down the steps, half asleep. But if I were as young as the 2 of you, it likely wouldn't be an issue. Every video I watch, I get jealous. I wish I could work barefoot!. But we each have our calling.
I like the style, however I would much prefer to see the boat better fitted out for northern latitudes and with more cabins - much like the Botnia Targa 46
@@NautiStyles I will do that Victoria you know it’s amazing kids. She’s just becoming a teenager and just watching the beginning of a great ride of a teenage girl is extraordinary. Do you remember being that age this girl you would love her she is so cute she’s so sweet if you appeared before her I’m not talking about beam me up Scotty kind of thing one you know you see we live in Minnesota the south eastern part of the state so it would be a long drive to get to California. Besides, we don’t know the state you know it better than I do anyway thank you for being an inspiration to this precious little girl soon not to be little anyway thank you, you did something really good here and you never know what until I mentioned it to you you and Rico. Have a good time when you get your new boat.
@@NautiStyles Victoria and Rico I hope when you get your ball you have many safe journeys across the Pacific since you live in California. Please be safe out there maybe sometime you could bring your boat up through the Mississippi river I don’t know if that would be something you’d be interested in doing but going from saltwater to freshwater yeah, I don’t know.
I own a 36’ Prokat. I love it the ride and i love the way it sits and absorbs wakes and waves when at rest. I have a friend who has an Axopar and I love the pilot house on it. I’ve been dreaming of combing the two somehow and here I see it’s been done. Bravo!
Great boat for a weekend! Some legal advice for Victoria: Don't record your death threats for Rico. LOL! It would be considered premediated if you ever finally push him off into an ocean.
ok....Positives: Super rugged and industrial looking. Love that portion of the boat. Seems like it can handle itself in most places you would take it around the Med or the Caribbean. Which leads to the negatives... Negatives: I feel that since the latest boom in yachting has been for rugged Explorer vessels with companies like Bering, Numarine, CdM, and Sirena leading that change and even forcing Benetti and ISA to get on board, the 'Explorer' tag gets slapped on anything with an axe or reverse bow and has a rugged or overbuilt appearance. But with 250 NM range, to me...and this is just my opinion...this isn't an 'Explorer' in the sense of what I and many others consider an 'Explorer' vessel. And yes I belong to groups and fan pages where we discuss these things like yacht nerds, and range and capabilities are some important factors. This isn't an Archipelago, JFA or a Glazmor. Those are all custom built true blue water Explorer catamarans. The other thing is the hatches seem like they would let in sea spray in during crossings, you have no enclosed cooking, and of course for a catamaran we are used to having a room in each hull and this just has one, which I'm sure you could change all those things during the build, but then are you really keeping the spirit of what that boat is,(Yes that is the Theseus conundrum) and if you are changing it that much why not go with an Archipelago or another builder that might be cheaper, just as durable, have more range but doesn't have some of the rugged features this has? I'm not trashing the boat since I do like it for what it is, I'm just not ok calling it an Explorer vessel in my vernacular or what that word means. There. I said my peace, you probably stopped reading this and won't respond, or take this the wrong way. I know you liked it..AND SO DID I VICTORIA...I LIKED AND THOUGHT IT WAS COOL...I just don't think it's an Explorer. Maybe loaded on the deck of a Damen SeaXplorer or toy carrier, but not on it's own.
Great video fantastic shots while underway. Thanks for paying attention to the music great selections. I thought this boat would bore me, but I really enjoyed the video. Good job as always.
Very interesting vessel. I like the attention to detail and how solid it is. Who wouldn't love minimal maintenance! If I had that kind of money, I'd likely go for something more livable though. Great tour per usual, thank you for taking us along Victoria and Rico. Stay safe 💚
Performance numbers are great on this boat, plus the Yamaha O/Bs make for such a clean package. Would change the black colour to white for a more nautical look, but everything else is perfect. The profit margin on this boat could be +50% ........ where does one invest?
So this is 43 foot boat that has a huge flybridge, big enough to carry a tender. It plows effortlessly through medium sized waves. It is low maintenance. It has plenty of advanced features. I love its minimalist approach, they avoided electrifying everything. A couple can overnight. It's fast, maneuverable, the outboard motors are a big plus, love it! The only downside really is that moving forward from stern to bow while underway at speed is downright dangerous, I would never even try it. So you would have to come to a stop if someone needed to access the bow once you leave the dock. Not a big deal. I can also envision some scenarios were tying up at the end of your trip might be difficult due to the awkward nature of its (lack of) side decks. But no boat is perfect. I would consider this to be the ultimate 'day boat'.
yea I grew up with a 40 foot cat with a much narrower walk around on the side than this and I would always walk around to the bow unless it was really rough weather
A 46' explorer yacht (and being a cat) which only has one cabin, no real lounge area to speak of, no means of enclosing the main deck and achieves poor fuel economy at cruising speed despite having foils ? Maybe there's a reason the owner couldn't find this already on the market. It has some interesting features but it'd be too limited in too many ways for me.
Seems like a perfect NYC harbor boat... which is very busy lately. I'm always taking trips with friends and family around the island. So a great way to tackle pesky ferry boat wakes and a picnic boat to explore from West Point Military Academy to the Statue of Liberty and Yankee Stadium etc. I like it.
its been fun watching y'all ... feels like i know you both as personal friends this inovative boat would be a dream come true for me kudos to that guy that thought it up and made it live
Nice color co-ordination during the walk-through Victoria 😄 I'm surprised that more power cats in the 28 to 50 foot range aren't going with foil support since it gives such a boost in fuel economy, performance and ride comfort.
@@sharonbraselton3135 Last I heard TwinVee had put their electric cat on hold. Things got a little too warm on at least one of their demo units in Florida.
Love the analog boom, mechanical. You have to be careful to make mechanical thing's. I like the ladder to the fly bridge that has support on both sides of the treds to. Instead of the single stainless they usually have.
It does borrow a few details from a PNW aluminum fishing boat, but the foil i just don’t see as very good for PNW waters as there are too many bits of drift wood floating about that would make it a vulnerability point.
Best RU-vid Channel, hands down. They cover the latest of the coolest stuff, they do it with style, they do it practically, they spark off one another and they are lots of fun. I tune in regularly. They keep my dream alive. I like how they also cover the unusual yachts - they are not glued to preconceived notions. They like to be surprised.
@@NautiStyles I applaud your choice of yacht. There are many styles and types out there. But it just so happens that the explorer type is my own preference. And that builder is excellent. Imagine picking up from Turkey and just staying Mediterranean. That would be most agreeable to me. Still, I dream of combining with Gene Chaser’s utility deck of toys. Maybe narrowing the hill a bit, and gaining some speed. But explorer would be fine for me, as I am a bit too much of a dreamer.
How does such a small boat seem so spacious?. The negative front window gives it a bit of an expedition feel, has a rugged utilitarian vibe over all, hauls ass. Unique boat, I like!.
This seems like a dream tender for a smallish 120'-ish Super-yacht. See how the X-105 explorer-style Holterman or Wider yachts integrates their 35+ ft tenders.
Definitely a cool Day boat.. I'd need AC in that suite though. If you put this against the Aquila 36 which now has hydrofoils or Aquila 44, which would you prefer?
Hiya Vico, Great boat and a great video, thank you for both. It's lovely that you are still looking for new things to incorporate into the Nauti boat, and finding them too. I remember being on a hydrofoil ferry from St.Marlo in north France heading back to Jersey, the first one in the English channel, when the sea state got so rough the captain had to come down off the step and the stew was seasick, her being sick set off a load of the passengers, and she had to clean it all up... I'm often nauseous, but I was fine, even went outside for a cigarette, yep back when I smoked. In fact, we were on our honeymoon, divorced now though. The reason for the sea state was it was where several tide races met. The boat, yes very good, with plenty of space with no engine room, and beautifully laid out cabling in that starboard hatch, good to see artisans taking that much care. Loved the coffee pass-through, there should be more of those on yachts!!! I live in the Med for three years so know all about cross breezes, we had no air-con back in the late 60s/early 70s. It was in Cyprus, RAF Episkopi and Limersol. I think the hotel we stayed in on our last night was the first time I experienced air con? That was in '71. You young'uns have it so good. Hehehe. Okay, back to the boat, V you were certainly enjoying the high speed, I'm envious... A king-size bed? I'm on one now so know that size well, I need the extra length as I'm 6'4" tall. Yep, the Vandal is a great boat for fun playing, enjoy while you can. Following seas and stiff winds (?) Steve xx
Okay now this is a boat I could definitely go for. Set up base on Turks and Caicos, and you can run and gun all over the Caribbean and to Florida etc. Built in accommodations with head,...just a fantastic piece of design and I love the Hydrofoil lift and stability in rough seas, make this into a fishing platform, a charter boat, whatever you want it's just so damn adaptable, this designer knows boats and boaters. Wonder if I could get an enclosed version for running around the Queen Charlottes and Vancouver Island,...set up for diving and fishing?? Hmmm??
Two points on Aluminum, 1. it's not at all a rare in it's unprocessed form, and 2. "recycling" aluminum uses almost (if not) the same amount of energy as processing virgin aluminum oxide. But more importantly, virtue signaling is just another word for BS, which basically does the exact opposite of instilling my trust in a company.
Mat, Mat, Mat. Sound so intelligent if you only used English. American, British any form of English. If one wants to bitch one should try and bitch grammatically
@@sssbob Compared to energy intensive cost of collecting transporting and cleaning then purifying, against the well oiled machine of aluminum production? Plus all aluminum processing plants are located at or near magor hydro plants. Which means that they pay for excess energy production that is used (switched over to) consumer energy needs when those needs spike. As in production plants are reduced or shut off to keep live saving power flowing to the rest of the grid.
I really liked the concept of this boat. So very functional; however, it appears to leave you very open to the elements. I didn't see where you could close off, or enclose the salon area or back cockpit. Did I miss that or is it an option?
I like to see a dingy launch in a bit of sea and wind, 100-200 kilo tender on a swinging arm two stories up. Must be great fun and create ’sailor stories’ :)
Thanks for showing us this cool, practical and innovative boat! I live in the Pacific Northwest, will have to check Vandal out! Will you be in Annapolis?
Hydrofoils were the “future” at the 1964 NY Worlds Fair. Hydrofoil water taxis were all over Flushing Bay (I was there at the World’s Fair Marina on our family boat….yes….I’m old) They failed for a host of reasons….fuel consumption (cost) controllability, etc. Ask yourself why they’re not all over the place. (PS….just read title…didn’t watch your vid.)
Would have liked to see the hydrofoil in action from front and front-side using both low flying drone and your extending poll off the safety rail at the front of the boat.
