£618K... FARK! If I had to guess, I would have said £200 - 240K. The world has gone mad ! 🤡🤯
paying for the brand im afraid
What's a Fark precious, What's a fark?
@@kenholt8297 £618k apparently 😁
@@kenholt8297 "Precious" ... Thankyou! Ken... lovely name. 😂
@@johnmontague4245 😆
What a great demonstration of precision handling in tight spaces.That boat will paint a smile on anyone's face.
Thanks to this channel catching my attention a few years ago, I went from no interest in boating to getting my licence, a 3m sib and now a beautiful jenneau nc11!
That is awesome! 😃
Nice.👍
Just looked them up. It'd be a good 'Meet the owner.
Way to go!
Hi Nick and Marianne, That is a great show Nick with this very nice Chris Craft 35 Launch GT what a speed nachine over 33 nots and the great sound of those engins A nice day boat this Chris Craft with a little bathroom and sleeping space but the americans with there cup holders everywhere on the side hidden in de settee on boats, motorhomes Thanks again Nick, Marianne thats is a great show ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
That's a really nice day boat, but the price is outrageous. Thank you for bringing this to us. Seems boat prices are way up from where they were a couple years ago, like everything else.
That helm!! Those dials!! That’s how to retro in style 😎
Hullo, my wife Kelly loved your site, watched it every day, or rather every post, she passed in feb, this Yr. But can I just say thankyou for posts past and present, we never owned our own boat , but did Norfolk broads posh hire boats 7 times over yrs , she also was on all the fishing boats I worked out of plymouth over 10 yrs that was a good few, I am sure she is now glued to your channel and telling me oh jock I love this one. Keep up the good work my friend.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
I had a 1974 Chris Craft 350 Catalina....the first year the made a fiberglass hull. My goodness what a boat....she commanded attention all over the lake.
The windscreen worked really well , even with Nick standing at the helm at 30 knots, there was not a hair out of place. Well designed, lovely boat , thanks for the video Nick.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Never seen a bad Chris Craft boat, the attention to detail is insane… but mind you, they cannot be considered ’cheap’! Gorgeous though! 😍
I love that Chris Craft have retained their love of 1950s American car styling in the consoles. I've pondered on a wooden Chris Craft with 1950s corvette style console for a tender/shore boat.... if I ever get the chance to need one.
Beautiful video with a beautiful boat. Only boating I've ever done is paddling a metal canoe as a child, yet found this whole video an enjoyable watch.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
A really nice boat but £618.000 wow that's a lot of money for a day boat, but great to see Nick in his element at the helm 👍
Thank you Nick & Marianne. It seems like a very nice Chris Craft. I'm sure most of us wouldn't mind owning one. It's nice to see that they are still building high quality boats.
Our pleasure!
I was just thinking, it's been awhile since I've seen a chris-craft, I usually think of the all wood classics... I'm glad to see that they are as sharp as ever... Beautiful and top shelf
Chris Craft has always made a nice boat! Looks sharp! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Thanks for watching! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@AQUAHOLIC 👍👍
The quality is exquisite but I still thought the price was a typo! Great review Nick, I'd love a wee spin on one of those!
Now this is the very definition of a "Tardis" ship.I was thinking I'd use that cabin as a 'day-heads',and then you showed us the restroom.Wow.All the nifty hidden features really make this a Great day boat for a family.Well done Chris Craft ! Thank you Nick,Marianne,Giuliano,and the rest for demonstrating this amazing ship.(If it had 2nd gear,this would run as a 'hydrofoil' too.Just skimming the water at 50)
Yummy yummy chris craft, absolutely gorgeous. 👍❤️🇬🇧
Definition of happiness: Nick at the helm of a boat 🙂
😎
It's automatic - I hear Chris Craft and I think Christopher Craft and his song "Sailing". But this is NOT that. The owners of this fine craft (aka Chris Craft) will never have a hankering to visit an amusement park again. This is a thrill ride with plush, cushioned seating. A place where the World of woes no longer influences your days aboard. Such FUN. So well made and appointed. Thanks for sharing and for the ride. BTW - Marianne was a pleasant bonus
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Some days are just hard work and no fun for you and the Commodore. I feel your pain 😜Thanks for a great video 😀
My dad used to build Chris Craft boats. I miss him.
These look like they've also got superyacht chase boat customers in mind. Cool boat!
Beautiful boat. Looks like a lot of fun for a day. Thank you Nick.
Very much a pleasure! 🙂
Chris Craft are always stunning boats, this has not disappointed I love it. Brilliant handling as well great video thanks Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
*Seems like a well put together boat and a nice romp out on the water is a bonus!*
So much quality and class! It definitely suits you Nick!!
What a great day boat, looks fun.
Looks so much fun, great tour and ride along
🇦🇺 What a fascinating real toy. Amazing how much they can cleverly put in such a craft. Full of surprises. Thanks Nick & Marianne. 🙏
You're very welcome! 🙂
It's great to see you out on the boats to see how they perform. Hopefully, we will see more!
I love the 31 Launch GT and it would be fantastic if it was designed as a Cuddy Cabin like the Christ Craft Corsair
With this Nick MA could go waterskiing or wake boarding down the River Dart. Even outrun the local water police as they try & stop you for speeding. Yahoo! Nice boat as Cris Craft has been building water craft of various sizes in the US for many years. 👍🇨🇦🙏
It's a thought..! 😄
Chris Craft, very nice 35 footer, Washroom and Cabin are a nice touch and will make day journeys comfortable
Thank you Nick for the tour
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
That is a great yacht, it has everything you need for the day / weekend. Looks like great fun on the water at speed, Thank you Nick and Marianne.
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful boat to look at and listen to and if a friend owned one I’d happily go a for a day out!
Impressive manoeuvrability too, and a suitably expensive price tag to keep them exclusive!
Must say how I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Regrettable never been in to boating, but currently on holiday in my favourite place, Empuriabrava Spain. Watching the boats/yachts from the end of the jetty, coming in and out of the marina, pure delight.
You should try it 🙂
Awesome fun launch !
Our favorite stowaway! Lovely boat.
Fantastic boat Nick with great design and finish 👍
Nice trip for the happy couple & sweet little boat. Good review Nick
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I want Julianos' job. Great video
Stylish or what, I may get shot for saying this but if you’d have told me this was an Italian design I would have believed you, this is a beautiful craft.
YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, the very *instant* I clocked that port side hatch and figured it'd be a day heads, I was itching to find out if you'd manage to include The Wave™, Nick... and I'm utterly thrilled that you managed to get one in!!
Now you've no excuse for future videos, heh heh!!
I really do like the aesthetics of this one. The styling looks very Star Trek Next Gen, with a bit of a late 80s, early 90s feel. I'm also quite taken with the little cabin - Looks like there's a TV in there and everything. I would possibly use this for a solo weekender, although I'm torn between this and their 35 Calypso... Which do you reckon wins between the two?
classy boat
600k, you sure? Thats eye watering for this boat
A beautiful day boat nick and it look like you was enjoying yourself 🚤⛵️🛥️👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏
I saw the little devil horns coming out on your head. Lots of fun.😁
Lovely boat! Looks very nice quality and a loo!
Nick without a doubt boat of the year so far.
Loved it.
Going to win that lottery this weekend.😅
Everything you need for a fun day out on the water. In style.
But what I'm really waiting for is your review of that cruise ship. Might take a while to open all that storage...
👍🤣✨️✨️✨️
🤔
@@AQUAHOLIC 👍 ❤️
Just think of all the mirrors to wave in! Nick's fingers will get worn out!
As an American, I am so proud of this beautiful boat. My grandfather owned a Chris Craft on the Detroit River in the 1960s-70s.
An incredible machine, great to look at & seemingly avery fun boat to drive - I think the smiles gave that away 😁
Two things though, that price is 😮💨 and those fender holders….how many times you gonna drop them in the water 😤
Yikes! My uncle had a Chris craft in the 70s. They were just "normal" boats then, not the equivalent of buying a house for a nice little speedboat. There's half a million in pure markup!
MARIANNE!!!!.... Wonderful " little" boat. Perfect for day play, or short runs to island hopping. Thank you for sharing this gem Nick
My pleasure!
It's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 but if you had that type of money to spend on a day boat that's at the top end of the luxury market , what more could you want but this gorgeous Chris Craft, stunningly looking and practically layed out,very very nice,but none the less only for those with plenty of disposable money,but hey ho you can't take it away from the design and craft put into this boat. On a different note wasn't that Princess looking beautiful with that stunning blue colour 🤗👌🖖
I think the head is nicer than the little cabin! Very cool boat for someone who likes to run all day on the water.
I had to keep rewinding to hear the howl of those engines again! Kept seeing dollars flying out the back of those V8 petrols.
This would be a great boat on a lake. beautiful boat.
lovely.
Fun boat!
Note the Highfield fender on the port side quarter!😂
This was a beautiful boat through and through. The test ride was absolutely fantastic to see. I’ve watched this video a few times. Maybe one day………..😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man Nick and Marianne I hope I get to meet you some day to thank you in person for the joy and relaxation I get from you and your channel. I had No Idea that Chris Craft was still making boats. that is a beautiful vessel ! I know you are well over 6 ft Nick and that helm made you look much smaller lol,. God Bless you both. Cheers from Michigan
I'm glad you enjoy it 🙂
Just a added note. Chris craft was once produced in Holland Michigan. When I was a youngster I would look out the car window to see what was hulls were sitting in the yard.
I am amazed by the amenities that are put on boats these days!
What amenities, a cramped berth and a tiny wee toilet
Great tour & test drive Nick, though I'm afraid it has to be said, we want an access all areas of that cruise ship.......... if you have a spare day or the 🤣
🤔
You should cruise on symphony of the seas it’s a excellent ship with so much to do
I hope you have the decency to hide this video from Smuggler or you'll make her jealous, but then. there is no comparison, Smuggler is just a class act and Brigitte Bardot sits very well on her!! Stay Safe & Fair Winds!!
Absolutely perfect for a day on the water! Also, was that a television in the starboard cabin?
Quality, not quantity. Chris-Craft are one of the finest manufacturers in the world, have been at it for a very long time, and they stand behind their products. Looks like a really fun ride - thanks for taking us along!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Very American boat! Really well planned for a boat of its type.
What a BEAUTIFUL boat for..... wait WHAT????
Six hundered eigthteen thousand pounds!!!!!!!!!!!🤯🤯🤯
Nick, I will say that it’s nice to see those cruise ships back in use and not anchored, useless and empty like they were a couple years ago when you did that vid!! Are we back to normal? 🤷♂️
We're back to the 'new normal' 🤔
Did you say you can “pimp” out the hard top lighting however you like. Cheeky 😂
I have said it before, but you have the best job in the world!
I'm not disagreeing with you!
Nice crew cabin
Amazing, Americans using Volvos so how good they are, Can you do tour of Volvo penta factory Nick that would be very interesting. Thanks for video.
Do a walkthrough for that blue boat to. It's look beautiful
It's already on the channel. 🙂
Merica! 😊
I would love to see one of these with a pair of Indmar Raptor 575 engines. That would probably be the cherry on top to make this boat perfect in my eyes. Volvo is great and all but I'd personally like to see an American engine brand in an American made boat.
Whoa Nick! No life jackets? Now you have to re-shoot that sea trial with proper equipment.
The Tui ship was the Galaxy where Jane McDonald came to fame on the BBC prog The Cruise
Dinghy for the superrich.
Thank you! Please find me below in the cabin with no windows whilst you are navigating those waters at 30 knots. 🤣 How is it that neither you or Marianne are wearing life vests but you wear them on Smugglers ❓🤔
Because it's pretty hard to fall out of a 35ft boat, especially as we're not crewing it (so not out on side decks or putting anchor down or whatever) and most of all, the water in the Med is warm so there isn't the paralysing cold water shock issue of the UK.
@@AQUAHOLIC Ok, I hope you are not upset with the question.
@@FLGurl Not in the slightest 🙂
A very interesting boat.
With this boat you definitely have a nice day.
I would have estimated the price differently.
Anyway, thanks for the nice boat tour Nick.😀😊🌊🌊🌊🚤
That cable coming out of that pipe into the hard top should be left like that on a boat of this price.
Would make a nice tender.
Looks like it needs bottom paint. Think they'll throw that in? Or want another $100k?
Great day boat with surprising features. Wondering what watch your wearing. 😊
That's a Spinnaker Dumas Blue Yonder
Wow can't believe it's only £618 000 I thought it would have been closer to 1.8 million 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Chris Crafts are beautiful, top shelf quality boats, comparable to things like Formulas and Princesses rather than the bargain brands people will inevitably compare the prices to. Quality is the one thing that doesnt really convey well on video.
Totally agree 🙂
@@AQUAHOLIC oh Nick, speaking of Formulas you should try to get aboard a Formula 430 or 500 SSC, I think they may be the best day boats on the market for those with deep pockets, you gotta get a sea trial though, they are extremely fast and have notably excellent sea keeping and maneuverability.
@@flacjacket I do like a Formula!
Top
618K for a speedboat? 🙄
It's pretty similar in price to a 34' Grady White Freedom 335. These Chris Crafts are top shelf quality like Formulas, it's one of those things that doesn't convey on video, and people who haven't been on board tend to compare pricing to other boats in the same size range and think it's a ripoff because of how much cheaper you can get something like a sea ray or cruiser or whatever then as soon as you get on board them side by side you realize why they are so much pricier.
There's a sucker born every minute
But it’s sooo shiny!
This is an over priced rich kids play thing.
@@nyali2 *And that's 618k pounds, over $750k usd, a pretty penny indeed.*
Awesome, thanks for thee fix. Did you need a kill cord?
Nope, it's a heavy 35ft boat, you'd have to try very very hard to fall out of it. 🙂
You are very good about wearing life preservers when on your own boat. Curious why you don't take the same precautions on trips like this. Does it have anything to do with the size of the boat? Is there any noticeable difference in performance between these petrol engines and Diesel engines? Love your videos, and this is a particularly beautiful boat. The helm reminds me of a luxury automobile's interior.
Bigger boat, not crewing it plus no danger of cold water shock in the Med. 🙂
That's a lot of money 💰
So jealous Nick, you have the best job in the world
I can't argue with that 🙂
Nice bit of boat handling....wouldn't work on a spring tide at Noss Nick !😏
Well executed design, (other than the unreadable MFD - and that's on a cloudy day), but I could no way come to terms with £618k for a day boat.....you could buy a real boat for half that.
Lovely boat! Any comment on the Seakeeper trim tab system, Nick? Did you get a chance to turn it off and on?
We didn't get a chance to play with it
