Just what is needed in these times. The two of you are like a double-act easy in each other’s company and having us as guests. Many thanks to you both.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
What a great video and catch-up with Jim 😊
Jim Davison living the life he deserves. Good luck and best wishes to you both.
Lovely bloke met him numerous times back in the day ...
@@EdithWeston Don’t go much for your opinion of him,
Just brilliant. Jim needs to become a regular on aquaholic. Would love to see some trips and him bringing her into a berth.
As an Ex soldier, Jim has been a true friend to the military for a very long long time..he's stayed the course and on behalf of us all ....stand tall Jim Davidson.
I didn't know he was a military man. I know comedians that have done tours to Cyprus and Germany. Can't put a price on pissing yourself laughing every now and then keeps you young
He’s a good egg Jim…….love the upgrades on his boat….. I wish you both well 😎💪🏼
@24327355 thank you for your military 🎖️🪖 service
When did he go in the Army ???
Always a pleasure to see Jim Davidson on his boat. He does love his boat. He’s a legend and a star. Thank you both!
Hes A Tory
I think there’s a fourth Jim Davidson…….. a serious Seafarer 🇬🇧🙂
Credit to him……. he has a laid back humorous approach to most of his life, but you can tell he has a pride in professionalism with his boating.
Apart from that, he’s a national treasure and has a heart of Gold 🙂❤️
Lovely chat Nick, lovely upgrading Jim 🙂🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I love Jim's passion for his boat. He looks like he could talk about boats for days. Its a beautiful boat he's created there. Good luck to him.
Jim Davidson is a legend. He’s done a lot for our forces. Seen him a couple of times when I was based in Germany. Love the guy.
This chat is something you can listen to for hours. Funny, Easy, and Happy. Boats give so much freedom, that's what I'm learning from Jim. To him the boat is no different to a car, hop on and go where you want to and have fun.
The good ol' Jim and Nick sit down comedy boat club. Love it!
What a lovely guy, no wonder he is so popular. There are 4 Jim Davidsons, you missed the guy who is totally committed to the troops and is almost like a modern version of Vera Lynne. Outstanding human being.
What I think makes Jim such a crowd pleaser in these videos is how much he geeks out over all the boaty bits. Unlike many celebrity owners, Jim clearly has done his research, knows the life and has put in the hours at the helm. He's an operator, not just an owner, and that level of authenticity shines through!
What an absolute pleasure to see two guys talking boats.
Jim love the boat, so jealous 😂
It actually makes me smile to see Jim so happy with his 'forever wife' boat.
A Princess 61 is for life, not just for Christmas.
Whether you are Jim Davidson fan or not, you cannot deny that he is passionate about his boating. Being one of the fans of the first video this, I predict this will be watched and liked just as much. Brilliant, Nick and thank you Jim for letting us look round with you ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Not a fan, and I agree!
Nor am I
Jim's the worst kind of grifter, he keeps this 'man of the people' persona whilst doleing out mainstream media lies that damage the very people he claims to be a part of, but hey let's ignore all that, it's bought him a pretty boat, that's what's important 👍
Bore off lefty.
Can Jim please be on every week! Fantastic episode and thanks for all the inspiration and ideas.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Jim is a great guy. His coach broke down while touring and my father fixed it for him. Jim gave him some signed memorabilia for my sister and I back in the 80s. He did not have to. He is a nice guy and genuine. All the best Jim you are a legend keep safe keep well! Hope to see you on the NE coast soon )
A really fantastic sequel. It's great to see the real Jim. Natural, off his guard and talking about his passion. The enthusiasm and banter is infectious. Jim and Nick you've seriously gotta do some more just like this. Take her on a grand voyage somewhere!👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Loved the first interview and really enjoyed this second one. As an interior designer and yacht owner I say yes to buying old and doing it up. Looks great! 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fabulous upgrades and always love Jim! Legend for what he has done for our Armed Forces and very clear he loves being afloat. I wish him continued success, health and happiness ❤
Loved the first video and this one is just as good.
I could watch Nick and Jim just chatting for hours.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I grew up watching Jim on TV and all the other great British comics who most have passed now, thank god Jim is still here to remind us how fantastic British entertainment used to be…
Boat looks great, Jim as entertaining as ever, but you really feel the passion he has for his boat in these videos. I guess the combination of convenience and escape and ability to become invisible when out of the harbour (which he doesn’t get on or near land as proved in the video) must be hugely attractive for him.
Nick and Jim you killed it. This is a perfect example of the essence of boating.
Two friends chatting on a nice marina about life, trips, memories, … How big, how old the boat is doesn’t matter. It is the experience. You nailed it.
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Just shows that chasing the next boat isn't the only option. Great re-fit, she's got life in her yet 😁.
He really is a national treasure as most comedians from that era he has been forced out of the limelight
He should be a knight for all he done for our forces alone.
Great video Nick you really have some passion for the boating scene
Could listen to you two all day, superb Nick & Jim !!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
What’s old-ish is new-ish, brilliant upgrades Jim! With todays materials and engineering magic rebuilding an interior and some exteriors is easily doable. I love the good natured bantering and chat, so thank you Nick for this revisit. Jim, Nick have a wonderful week.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Thank you Nick for doing a follow up tour/interview with Jim. You two definitely need to make more yacht videos together. They're quite entertaining.
Been looking forward to this. Had seen glimpses of the refit on Jim's channel but being a nosey parker was hoping to see more. Then a couple of days ago he said he was doing another Aquaholic interview. I just love Jim and his enthusiasm. Thank you Nick for another great video.
Love these owners blogs. JD has had and still gets some stick but judging him on the 2 videos he seems a nice guy. Love his passion for his boat!
Nick, what an absolute brilliant piece, Jim's got the boat looking spectacular! You really could have made the meeting much longer. It was enthralling to watch and listen to both of you chatting away, Jim's funny bits thrown in made it even better!. This will hit over the 2 million views I'm sure! I've watched it 3 times already! Excellent as always, Thank You Nick, and Jim.😊
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Jim seems happiest when hes on his boat, his eyes light up talking about her
Love Jim Davidson Cheers Nick for seeing him again and upgrades.
If he’s in Torquay I’ll wave from the Pier.
Thanks Nick and Marrianne.
Cheers Jim for sharing your boat with us all.
Despite being a polarized character in modern times Jim Davidson but is undeniably one of the funniest men in the UK. I remember being in his presence in a gym at a premier Blackpool Hotel in the 80's and he had the whole room roaring with laughter. His boat is beautiful.
BRILLIANT! Chat, boat, gentlemen..you nailled it for the second time. Can't wait to see a 3rd installment in next couple of years.
Maybe aboard Jim's Fleming! 😄
So worth 30 minutes of my life, not just a great boat, but Jim is a wonderful guy.
Nick with Jim on his fantastic boat with great conversation and humor another sure hit with the fans.
What a lovely bloke Jim is. Boat is looking good! Happy boating chap 👍🏻
I rarely laugh out loud, but this program inspired genuine chuckles, from Canada at midnight. -- BAK --
I believe it is always something to be proud of when you make improvements to what you already have.. I recently redid my hallway in that exact same sparkly wall covering, and I love it too...
Jim obviously let ves being out on the water, and is as pleased as punch with the results of his refit, good for him, I'm sure it will serve him well for many years to come..
Jim might joke but he's very knowledgeable about his boats interior, and mechanics and electricals. Jim could be a consultant on refurb to other boaties. Well done Aquaholic and Jim, a great show 👏 👍
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I remember Jim mentioning the Fleming 65 in the first video and off I went to check one out. He mentions it again in this vid and I find myself on Fleming Yachts Europe, drooling and falling in love with it all over again.
giggles at his, "OH YOU GOTTA HAVE IT!"
Lovely episode....great to catch-up with Jim and Princess B/Mitchie.
Looking good Jim!
Fleming guys....Fleming 58!!!! The Bentley of boats.
Blimey that was a good video. I could listen to him all day....some of his stories are brilliant, always reminds of my RN days and the stuff we got into...make your toes curl now. LOL.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Fabulous video. It is so nice to see Jim’s Princess being cherished and upgraded, she’s looking beautiful. Growing up with boats, I can say they become part of the family when they are loved. Sailing is a source of wonderful experiences, escapades and funny stories. Well done 🥰
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
@@AQUAHOLIC 😊
Hes a great character. I would love to meet him and just listen to the stories. Never a dull moment. Thank you both for an a second interview.
Our pleasure!
Another brilliant chat with Jim.
His passion for his boat and boating in general shines through.
I imagine you two sat there for quite a while once the camera was off swapping stories.
Upgrades are brilliant, obviously being SeaTag!
I remember the video with Jim. Nice to see what he's done to it!
Great to see how passionate he is about the boat and how emotional it makes him. Well done Jim.
Wonderful to see Jim. He looks absolutely fantastic. Jim should be on prime time tv and have his own show. He is entertainment royalty in the UK. I have never really been into boats but found this very interested. The quality of the improvements is superb. I’m going to subscribe to Jim’s TV channel. We need to support our greats and Jim is one of the best. Brilliant video and loved the chat 👏
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Totally agree , he’s a national treasure , he looks healthy , and loves he’s boats
Jim Davidson strikes me as the kind of person who could put you at ease whatever the situation. The boat refit looks amazing!
He's a rasict
Couldn't agree more.
Top bloke. Never changes.
When two people have a common interest. How easy is the chat. Another great video Nick. with a Top bloke .
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Jim is that legendary uncle we all need. This was a fantastic video. Really bitten by the boat bug!
Fantastic to see how proud he is of his boat 👌
Great to see you Jim in one of my favorite places, Weymouth. Your Boat is looking amazing and is an absolute credit to you. I can see your passion for your Princess I love to see you enjoying your life as you gave me so many laughs and happy memories in years gone by. I'll look out for you on your streaming channel in the future. Cheers G🤣
What a great bit of upgrade from Setag Yachts that has transformed Jim's princess 61 flybridge boat, it's like a brand new interior once more nick.
Thank you 😀
Great to see the passion Jim has for his pride and joy. And yet another fantastic video from Nick I was going to pop down and see the boat but she left before I could get away.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
great team you two .love the boat .jim do us all a favor stay on your own mate because wife 6will take your boat has well and we cant have that.the firm have done a brill job on it mate fair winds...
Well done Jim…just simply well done mate. You deserve it all. Always keep going, you cheer us all up and we need that 😬👍
A pair of legends. The Nick and Jim Show. Should be a regular thing. You’ve both got equal enthusiasm for boating, it makes for great viewing.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I have always like Jim, now I am jealous of him with his beautiful boat. Thank you for showing it to us Jim , happy sailing
Grew up with Jim and always loved his comedy. Watched a few of his boating videos and see another side to him, which just enhanced my opinion of him. His genuine passion for our military personnel is commendable. Love to meet him one day. Stay safe and live long Jim.
Been watching your videos for years. Thank you for all the great content!
I appreciate that! 🙂
Spent last week at Weymouth and spotted Jim's boat along the harbour wall yesterday. Would have said hello and complimented him on his beautiful boat, but he looked busy reading his phone so just left it at that. It really is an eye catching boat.
Great to see Jim enjoying himself. He deserves it
“I don’t think anyone’s told him it’s supposed to be difficult.” Is a great line, and so true. It’s how I started sailing, and with luck and good judgement and just enough knowledge, I survived the experience and did things I really shouldn’t have done in the early days.
The upgrades just take the interior appearance to a new level, and it's all very nicely done. Top class.
Thank you 😃
Met Jim in Plymouth when he brought the boat in to have the refurb done, lovely guy he even had time to stop for a chat before he left
Torquay the place of my birth, and many fond memories, now in South Yorkshire but visit relatives in Torquay twice a year (61 years old)! The Quay and mariner looking at all the boats is my favourite place early in the morning! Always loved Jim Davidson, and his sense of humour! Thankyou for such a lovely interview!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Fantastic vid again. Great job Nick from Nick 👋👋👍
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Love the catch up with Jim and his Princess Mitche. I think its Time Jim took you out for a spin, come on Jim we want a spin, Mybe that could be Part 3 😉. Enjoyed that one. Thank You Nick and Jim.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
jim davidson is just an all round good egg. theres something about working class comedians that do well for themselves that they always know where they come from and be humble even when they are showing you their wealth.
thanks jim,
Lovely boat, I could listen to Jim talk for hours
I'm not even a boat person but found myself watching both of your videos with Jim. Really enjoyed both, the refurb work looks fantastic on the Princess. Great to see this side of Jim as well, seems like a top bloke.
Welcome aboard!
Sir Nick, I started watching this video, blinked and said, " bloody hell" it's over already...words can't describe what a pleasure this was...thank you both!! Made some of realize just how long we have been following you! Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Where the sea meets the Master of Comedy. Brilliantly entertaining.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
So great to see Jim on the channel again.
Brilliant idea - spend a quarter of what a new boat would cost and end up with a 'one off' NEW, custom yacht. Again, so clever. Thanks for sharing and thanks Nick, for not editing anything out later...
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
We think so too! Thank you
I can’t fault Jim’s lifestyle and his attitude to life in general. Jim - I hope you’ll be kind enough to live until you’re 100 ! Top Man.
My hometown. I walked past his boat on Wednesday evening. Was torn between wanting to have a look at the boat but not wanting to stare!!
That headliner and captain's chest blew me away. Looks great. Obviously very entertaining tour -- "gotta have 'em"
:)
Thank you 😃
I’d charter a week with Jim on his yacht in a heartbeat, top bloke 👍🏼
Great Video Nick, I had been waiting for it as Jim let it slip a few days back. 😄 Jim, a great character and comedian. And a great supporter of military veterans.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I’ve always loved Jim Davidson. So nice to see him on his boat having a chat with Nick.
I was one of those new subscribers from Jim’s first video. I love how Jim explains life onboard from the tech to day to day living, the most down to earth interview you could get, no bs, top guy. Next time get you both in the shot having a chat.
What a brilliant follow up. The refit has absolutely lifted the boat,no wonder Jim's grinning all over the place. Really enjoyed that one.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Thank you!
I could watch this all day long! Genuine chat and I do think Jim was really being himself as if no camera, Really great to see.
Excellent, good to see Jim again. Got to see him out with the boat. :-)
Smart renovation work, I always love taking a look around the engineering spaces. 👍
She is an absolutely gorgeous little boat. I totally understand Jims pride in her.
Id be happy to have her. Although it will never happen.
Cheers Nick, nice video and what a great job from SETAG. Hope Jim is as happy as he seems.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Thank you 😄
Jim is a real top guy, always there for the forces . love the upgrades to his boat.
Great bloke , fantastic boat 🛥️
Thoroughly enjoyed looking round Jim’s upgraded beautiful boat. A great chat as usual with Jim.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
great vid Nick. Jims a legend. he seems like the kind of guy that would happily show his boat to anyone. not saying people should just go but i get the feeling he would be happy to talk about his boat.
I'm very proud to be British, and Jim is one of them people he s British through and through🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 , I've been a member of ustreame since the beginning , TV how it used to be , thanks Nick for Jim being on , and Princess #itchie is looking gorgeous 🇬🇧🇬🇧
True...big gut, puffy red face from the booze, yellow teeth...British through and through!
I do love that bloke.
Grown up with him on T.V with "Home James", "Big break" and many other things that I just can't remember them all right now.
My absolute best wishes to James and his family.
I do hope he's well.
Good to see you meeting up with Jim again nick nick.couple of genuine blokes nice 1
Thanks Nick for another chat with Jim. could listen to him for hours.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
