It's official. Princess, and all the others, need to just start lending you boats so you can do more "comprehensive" reviews over the course of a weekend or so at a time. :) This is absolutely lovely!
I like your thinking!
@@AQUAHOLIC I want to say that this is a video that would make or break a purchase decision. All of your video reviews that show the nuts and bolts of a vessel are top rate but, what a perspective buyer wants to know is how is it to use and live with. All the pretty things in the world won't mean anything if you don't want to actually use the vessel!
For the channel yeah. However, a personally owned boat is still so endearing.
Oh ok is it safer ??
it is only a matter of time: the sales exposure they will get is so gettable as to be eventually unavoidable :)
There is something about boating in Northern Europe. Where else can you get sunstroke and severe hypothermia on the same day ?
The desert of California.
lol ! you never spent time in northern new york
@@KlingonCaptain Hey thats where I am but I cant dispute that. LOL. If it wasn't for this Covid thing my job would be sending me to the hottest place on earth, driving prototype vehicles Death Valley
@@lashturner whats with the zebra or patchy black and white wrap? is that suppose to not allow us to see the shape of cars because it really doesn't

Must have watched this video a dozen times over the last couple of years and every time it never fails to relax me
Awesome 🙂
I know I’m going to like this before I’ve even watched it
Me too!
Yess
Fantastic seeing real people yachting...….. more pls
Agreed.
As opposed to cartoons?
How are people disliking this its literally a guy having the time of his life
Kyle Roczniak they bit jealous
Hoping they hit the wrong button in excitement, otherwise there is no excuse.
Jetski Drivers :)
Never satisfied some people . Nearest they have to a boat is toy in the bath 😂
I think dislikes come when people with no interest in boating see a video such as this in their recommends. I believe they think the YT algorithim takes the dislike into account. I doubt that it works that way because YT even recommends to me videos I have just watched the day before :(
4 years for the first 100k,3 months for the next 82k,you have kept us all smiling and dreaming through these strange times keep it up 😁😁
I love being included on these outtings! I am disabled and wake up in pain every day and this was the perfect distraction from that pain while I adjust to the day. Thanks for another wonderful video!
You're very welcome :)
Enjoy mate. Live life to the fullest. Have a good day!
It’s 4:30am in Portland, Oregon and still struggling to sleep. What a treat to see Aquaholic’s latest video, making things a little happier.
What a nice weekend retreat spent with your lovely wife. Beautiful to watch a couple, that truly enjoys each other’s company. Bravo!
My grandparents had a 17’ Silverline triple cathedral hull ski boat when they lived on West Bay in Lake Oswego, Oregon here in the states.
I’d spend the hot summer nights onboard to avoid the heat in the house. Fold the seats down in to sun lounges and let the boat rock me to sleep.
Ever since then, I’ve always wondered what it would be like to have a Cuddy Cabin instead of an open Bow boat.
Thank you for this Nick. You brought back a few precious memories of when my grandparents were alive.
Pete Jackson I had friends that live in Lake Oswego and many of summer days spent swimming and boating. Aww...those were the days:)
I grew up cruising the Columbia River... I miss living up there!
Hi from the SE!
How calming and peaceful, even through this stressful time!
Love the change of pace. A getaway with your wife and friends, always a good time. The dock with your feet kicked up and enjoying the scenery.
Me & the wife are going boating this weekend, starting off tomorrow morning from Holyhead to the Menai Straights, & park up at Beaumaris, then on to Conway Marina on Sunday, we love Conway so much history & nice shops. Then we'll come back on ourselves but this time go along the Menai Straights, which is a challenge indeed navigating through the Swellies, it has a tidal height difference, which can create currents up to 8 knots, power is needed as well. But we enjoy the challenge down to Dinorwic Marina, sleep over there then onto Aberystwyth, where we'll stay for 2 days then home
Thank you Nick and Marianne, I always get a fillip when watching your videos. I long to get back to cruising, I used to have a 38' fly=bridge which I practically lived on for two years.
Y'all are always so happy and friendly. I love it
You two are a beautiful couple, absolutely charming. I adore your videos together. Please keep enjoying life and smiling.
Thank you 🙂
Oh Nick this is what it's all about! Very good of you to film through your trip too and let us see it! Excited for part 2!
Thanks! Should be up tomorrow :)
Nothing better than falling asleep on a boat, salt air, the clanging of the mast and the boat rocking, relaxing.....
Great footage once again by a ‘dodgy guy’, don’t blame you for not going in the water, always don my wetsuit.... friends always laugh at me till they jump in with just shorts.....
When you get the sun, England is stunning.
How cool are those lights . Change the mood so easily
You're such a man of the people Nick, I was thinking oysters or lobster thermidor, but no it's fish and chips. You and your lovely wife make boating look like fun and affordable, quite an achievement.
Haha, no, we like to keep it simple. :)
This is helping me cope with the disappointment that I should have been in a field in Northampton this weekend for the British GP at Silverstone. Having my own boat would help me cope more but this is pretty damn good too. Top work!
Glad we could help :)
Great video. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Our pleasure!
Awesome couple, awesome boat, great experience. thanks for sharing.
You're very kind :)
Oh my...you said damnit...you are a mortal human! I thought you were just a gift from the gods...the world needs more people like you Nick.
You're very kind :)
"We're all warmed up, at least the boat is"
🤣🤣🤣
4:56
You two really know how to relax. I think the world would be a better place if more people learned that skill. Marianne is a treasure. I'm so glad to see her in your videos. Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for coming! 🙂
Great video and what a life that is, fantastic boating with friends and fish and chips bliss 👍
It's all you really need :)
Fantastic to see. Thanks for bringing us along 🙏
0:04 cute smile between a couple in love
Thumb up without watching the video!
and thanks for sharing!
You are so kind
Awesome Nick & Marianne for taking us on your little adventure. You’re living the dream!
Thanks so much!
Answering the shower “Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?” Classic dad joke 😆
I chuckled, my son looked confused! yep it's a dad joke 😂
Earful of hot water.
Been doing that for years amongst friends using whatevers at hand. and Im no dad! :)
I'm sure if u read the manual it says u have to pretend its a phone for it to work.
This is why people enjoy boating! The wonderful people and the freedom to travel to beautiful places and see wonderful sights! Mr. and Mrs. Burnham are truly the finest representation of human beings in the U.K. and beyond!
You’re very kind 🙂
The one way some of us get to go sailing, is with you on one of your jolly jaunts out. Looking forward to tomorrow. 😊
Two more episodes to come! :)
Looking very nice with great friends and their boat/yacht. Yes, having wine and great food in the summer time is so enjoyable.
Thanks Nick, that was lovely, 👍
The song at the beginning said smile and both of you kept smiling😁😁😁😁
Nick, thanks for all of your reviews! I can tell you love boating and your boat. You have a nice boat and you take very good care of it (obviously)! I started with a used 1994 Regal 233 and moved up to a used 2000 Doral 270 SC in 2003. I had to have it repowered so I went with a Merc 350 MAG MPI. This boat was quit rare as it was rigged with a Nextgen 3.5 Kw diesel genset. I still like the idea of a 8'6" (beam) trailerable cruiser with range. Your VP D4 260 has been recently replaced with the updated D4 270 on the 2021 US Cutwater C28 also equipped with a 3.5 Kw Nextgen genset. Wish more European manufacturers, with similar sized boats, offered owner trailerable enclosed cabin cruisers with side decks similar to my Doral. It had a 100 gal. petrol tank, 12 gal. genset diesel tank, and 30 gal. fresh and black water tanks similar to the Cutwater. Requirements for long distance trailerable comfortable cruisers! Our options are very limited in the US particularly with outboard power. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing your lovely day.
Nothing better than spending an evening on a boat with your mate, alcohol and fish and chips. Cheers !!
Loved the cinematic of the boat going along at sunset.
I love it when I am really enjoying one of your videos and tap the screen to check progress and I am not even half way through. Lush vid. What a life. Keep it going!
Glad you enjoy it!
Beautiful little village. Love the multi color buildings.
Awesome video, as always 😁
Thanks Nick, looked like it was a wonderful trip out, just in time for the sundowner!
This is the kind of freedom only a boat gives you, have been riding motorcycles and fast cars for the better part of my life, yet this is exactly the reason why I got my boating licence and want to get a cabin boat, just to spend a nice few days or a weekend with friends/family. Enjoy yourself Nick, you deserve it :-)
Thank you :)
Nick, The second you showed the shower i said to myself, that looks like a phone. Then you pulled it out and answered it. Classic!
😄
I know you probaly get a million people asking you to fo a video on specific boats i think i have watched every video you ever posted you have done alot for the boating community keep up your good work i love the galeon line i will never be able to afford one but my mother always told me to dream big but i would be happy with the 400 galeon lol please fo a walkthrough on the 780 Crystal most of my boating is done on lake erie thanks nick
From the great lakes in Michigan I just wanna say how much I enjoy your videos and boating knowledge in general well done....love the view by the way
Thank you!
Wow you make it look effortless and stress free. Thanks Nick!
What a lovely couple , nice to see you share the same passion ,
You are so kind
Great video. Nothing more relaxing than being on a boat. Thank you !!
I have only started watching your videos in the last week and I have already watched nearly all of them! You are amazing and make such quality content and you deserve this channel and all its success, keep it up!!!
Thank you so much!!
AQUAHOLIC You are very welcome!! Top work and keep safe!
You're one of my favourite CZcams channels, I love your videos and your presenting style, you're such a likeable guy and always positive about everything. So it's definitely saying something when I say this is my favourite video that you've done. That scene at the end was perfect.
Wow, thank you!
So beautiful scenery 😊
Wonderful! What a great time you must have had!
Looking good and what a lovely day, I'm very jealous.
I thought I’d be bored as there’s no fishing, diving or running amok. But thank you so much, I loved every second of your video. I think it’s mostly because you obviously love and respect your boat and you enjoy every minute you’re on it. Take care and thanks again 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
That Smuggler, is THE LOVE-BOAT :) :) :)
JEALOUS!!! Enjoy the weather and freedom!
What a nice way to get away from things
Great to see you both SO happy
What a fabulous lifestyle, soooooo envious. Love watching the videos.
Glad you like them!
HEY, bro... thanks for inviting several thousand of your closest friends on a weekend getaway!!!
What a beautiful lady she is... and yer wife is looking good too. lol! A lovely life and a lovely family.
Thanks for coming
What a fun weekend on board. Thanks so much for sharing it. As always, I love all of your videos and enjoy seeing ones of the two of you together enjoying life.
Thanks for watching!
I really like this, again it's that achievable boating in real life, plus Marian also has got a west country sense of humor helps too. Already looking forward to the next one!
Fair play to you both, enjoy
I love the feeling when you hit the brakes and the wave comes up from behind and gives you a little gliding shove
Awesome to see the two of you enjoying what you love so much. :)
Another lovely video! And of course... Now we want a video starring your mates boat, too! Looks great.
I like that Marianne has the need for speed!
‘2.8?’
‘Yeah always 2.8k rpm’
‘Yeah we’ll just see about that’
When I was young our family password was 'Fish & Chips' Great blog.
I’d just like to say I’m new to your channel and I’m an armchair boater, never owned a boat, but now in my early 60’s watching your outstanding videos is certainly making me fidgety. Thanks again for sharing some fabulous video clips from your experiences...
The perfect age to start boating! 🙂
Another great video!! Real people enjoying life, unpretentious and genuine.
I really miss this life. Love these videos! Absolutely beautiful scenery around you. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
@@AQUAHOLIC Very much so! Keep up the great work. :)
Fantastic video as always Nick, I always look forward to watching your videos!
Glad you like them!
Yet another Aquaholic video bringing back fond memories. I did my RYA Level 2 and Intermediate Powerboating certificates with an instructor based in Brixham, so spent many hours tearing around Torbay in a 7metre RIB with a 250hp Honda on the back. Great fun.
Nights in Dartmouth on a boat? Did that a couple of times when I was a student in Plymouth, albeit on a small sailing yacht a group of us chartered. I never had much of a knack for sailing so I gave myself the title of "G&T and Cigars Officer", the duties of which I took very seriously.
Ice cream in Salcombe was always a highlight of a visit there.
Wonderful video Nick, many thanks for bringing some very fond memories back to the fore.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
"DILLIGAF"!? I absolutely LOVE IT!
This video is more motivational than the other motivational videos
Now that's what its all about. Loving that.
Sure is! :)
Very nice video Nick! What a joy it must be to go "hacking" around the bay with your lovely bride on Smugglers Blues. Great bit of luck that you found such a capable first mate. Looking forward to more adventures 😷👍
You come across so genuine, I love watching these videos. So peaceful.
Thank you so much!
Dolphin schools go up and down the beaches of Ventura California where I park the RV (caravan)... They go right between the surfers... Seals, and a few SHARKS, too!
I think a boat close to the water is the best thing, what you have seems to me the perfect boat for where you live. I really enjoy your reviews of larger boats but I always think something close to the water is the real enjoyment of boating.
There's a lot to be said for it :)
A nice meal and a chilled can whilst looking out in to the river!
Even though i wasn't there, i could smell the salt sea air and the smell of fibre glass!
...and once again when the 'beep' from your boat sounds, I jump up and check my smoke alarm.
Best of both worlds i see mate👌
As a long time follower just wanted to say i enjoy watching your subscriptions grow..
I appreciate that!
There is nothing like being on the water, very medicinal!
Loved the berth to berth film, your efforts putting it together much appreciated!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love it Nick. Lucky man. Love your videos, now we're stuck at home. Keep up the good work. Best to you for the escapes and dreams we get in your posts. Sunny and happy.
The seagrass is a vital habitat for sea horses which are in decline. Anchoring in it has destroyed vast areas of it. By not anchoring there you are helping to preserve an endangered (and very cute) creature. Thank you. 👍
Wow, sunny England, amazing.
Aquaholic & Dartmouth. Two of my favourite things 🙂
The hardest part of watching your videos is that I have to wait until the end of the video to like for the YT algorithm!
Nick, this was absolutely wonderful... you laugh... community laughs with you, quality insight, looked liked a great weekend, best regards 😀👍🏼
I know it must be so exciting going faster 😊
Absolutely lovely... Cheers...
I was out on the Dart last weekend. What a gorgeous weekend! Love these videos Nick!
Glad you like them!
That boat that came alongside............. DILLIGAF haha Kevin "bloody" Wilson song haha
Same... 🤣🤣🤣
I know 3 boats that go by that name !! :-)
Got to love a bit of kevin bloody Wilson 😍 👌
Looks great fun
Cheers, and many more of them. Lovely to see, even better to experience. thanks :)
More to come!
What a wonderful video with you and your wife. Heartwarming, humorous, fun! Thank you :) PS: She's a keeper. Love her attitude.
