I’m actually enjoying your videos about your own boat with your wife/partner here more than your videos on the super luxury yachts. Firstly, because it’s actually your boat. It doesn’t matter how large or small it is. Secondly, because the joy that you express in your own boat and taking it out with your wife is undeniable. To me, seeing your pride and joy in your own boat ownership and taking it out with your wife is difficult to top. You just can’t put a “price” on that. Thirdly, I can more relate to your happiness. It’s a good thing!
Your own boating videos can become “limitless” as well. I’m not suggesting you stop with the ultra luxury yachts, but seeing the absolute joy with you two in your own boat cannot be beat.
Cheers, from Tomball, Texas
PS: I decided to subscribe, because of your actual boat ownership. You two have a real genuineness.
Welcome aboard! 😃

And a very appropriate response! Thank you

Rest assured, it has been corrected.
Nick, your boat glistens with the pride you've invested in it. To have a hobby that is your career, makes you a deservedly lucky man. Thanks so much for sharing - it is truly uplifting taking it in.
Thank you 🙂
You two are awesome! Living the life. I'm jealous. Can't wait to get my boat out on the water here in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. It's a 16ft 1960 Glaspar Citation with a 75hp Johnson motor. I was able to restore most of it. It turns heads at the boat launch. I've heard people say "my granddad owned one like this."
Nick: Hey so can you just gently bring it up to 3000 rpm
Marianne: WARP SPEED!
This made my Friday. Marianne ribbing you about “So” was a hilarious start to an awesome video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Starting a sentence with so is so annoying.
Back in the 80’s we would spend the weekend at the boat and then come home to an episode of Howard’s Way. We have the box set on the boat to this day. Still a thrill to see the Sealine Ambassador blasting down the coast.
I'm so happy for you both. Glad you are back on the water and look forward to another season of boating from you both
Thanks so much!
So many plugs you could fill the holes in the ozone layer but always such fun seeing you guys go boating!🎉🎉🎉
You guys do bring the 'feel good' factor with your videos! Currently stuck behind the work desk!!!!!!
I may never own a boat, but I love you enjoying your own boat even more than I enjoy you touring superyachts. You boat is a super yacht because it carries awesome people. Your love of boating is infectious.
Glad you like them! 🙂
So nice to see you back on the water with Smugglers and the pure joy you are having together. Fun and relaxing. Thank you so much 😀
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
So good to see you having a good time on the water. You and Marianne are such a joy to watch, happy loving couple😁 And SB is doing great, keep those videos comming, please😄👍🏼
Will do! 😃
Nick: "Always nice to see a smiling face!"
I cannot believe that you got away with that. Well played, sir!
She's not seen the video yet..! 😳
@Marianne 🥺
We sold ours a couple of months ago - I watched your vlog and jeez! I miss it. Happy boating and I hope you have a great '23 season. :)
Thank you!
Wow just fantastic and i mean bloody fantastic what a beautiful day for you both . Thanks Nick and Marianne for an enjoyable watch 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
This was a lovely little outting. Hope many more to come, Nick & Marianne. Happy 2023 boating season!
Hope so too!
Thanks for uploading your first trip of 2023 Nick. Your smiles and enthusiasm are infectious. I am sure many like me, imagine they are there right along side you. Have a great weekend!
Love these type of videos more than your boat reviews, thanks for taking us along 👍🏻
Glad you like them!
This made me smile 👏🏻👏🏻. So jealous I can only dream of this life,good on you both 👏🏻👏🏻
“So” is one of my pet peeves also. Never heard anyone else being bugged by this until now. Loved seeing you guys boating again.
Nick I once had an older boat and the most stressful time was turning that key and wondering if it was going to start. Even more stessful was when you went somewhere for the day and hoping it would start for the return trip.
I really enjoyed that video. Y’all had so much fun and it was all beautiful. I miss my boat!
A lovely surprise to see you had uploaded your first video of the season out on the water, absolutely loved it! 😍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice to see the videos with your own boat, it's quite a contrast to the big yachts you visit😀
I love Marianne with her eye flick at you or saying, “So.” You’re great too Nick. Love how much you both enjoy Smugglers Blues 2.
I'm from Brixham but live in Poland now so great to see the Bay and river dart in you videos I was back in Brixham for easter and happened to see you both In Sainsbury's I got a little star struck 😉😊 thanks for all the content love it all.
No way! You should have said hi 🙂
@Marianne 😲
@@AQUAHOLIC no just shopping and I did wish to disturb 😄
A lovely boat with everything you need for 2, you both clearly love and are so proud of it, and why wouldn't you, Love your channel and your adventures in Smugglers Blues 2.
Lovely way to spend a day or two……we’ve just finished (again) watching all episodes of Howard’s Way, must be time soon to get a picture of Smugglers Blues II on the pontoon outside the Jolly Sailor at Bursledon!
Great idea!
Great video Nick thank you for taking us along with you and Mariann, You could see you both really enjoyed it. Keep them coming.
Thanks, will do! 🙂
Crazy the wife and myself have just finished the whole series....loved it a great day on smugglers by the way...
Awesome! 😃
Great first trip out ✌🏻. And to finish off showing dusk at the marina … it’s a magical time of the day.. and night. Thanks for sharing 🏴☠️😎✌🏻
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
"So", Nick, Marianne is quite right, this SO prefix thing also drives me nuts, as does the frequent "LIKE" interposed within a sentence. What is happening to our lovely English language. "So" (lol), rant over, back to boating, another great video and so nice to see you both out on the water again enjoying both the weather and the boat. Keep up the good work, stay safe.
I mean, and it's not just 'so' that is being used erroneously! 😣
Along with "so" is the incorrect use of "sat", for example: "If you're sat there wondering what..." or "I was sat at this table waiting for my friend when...". It's SITTING!
also youtubers who say thee instead of the.
Nice Boat Nick. And What a stunning day! Jus loved viewing Marrianne behind the wheel with a face shining with content & joy. Good on ya. Well done. From Marysville Wa. State USA
Hey there Marysville! 🙂
What a wonderful way to show the joy of boating. Thank you both for sharing. Have a great year.. Oh and I'd like to see some more on the Mangusta range. I'll need to win big on the lottery but who knows... Many thanks Richard
Brilliant video Nick and so the season begins. Hope you and Marianne have a great one.
Great to see first video,I can remember being on my dad's boat every year on the river tamar,they used to run a caravan and camping site at saltram,hope to see more boating very soon,so gappy boating both of you
I enjoyed that more than your superyacht video's. The more realistic side of boating for most of us.
A real pleasure to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it, more coming 🙂
So, that was a wonderful day out Nick. It is so obvious you both really enjoyed yourselves, the only time Marrianne's smile slipped ever so slightly was when you took over at the helm. Lol. So, I've never been the jealous type, I've always thought that if you see someone else with something you want then don't sit there grinding your teeth about it but figure out a way to get one of your own but this video has proved to me that no-one is immune from that trait. So what in particular did I enjoy? I found being "in the engine room" while she was running full speed was particularly enjoyable to me (anything engine/engineering linked will always grab my attention.) So, what else was there, well the evening shots looked amazing and the peace and quiet seemed almost magical.
So, thanks once again for an amazing experience and keep them coming.
PS. I'm sorry I couldn't resist!
I mean, no problem! 😄
'So' seems to be one of those words people being interviewed use to give them time to work out the big fib they're about to tell. Well done for calling it out. Great video and more fun than the multi million pound boat tours.
Glad you enjoyed it, more coming!
I'm always the late one to comment(worked), but I just loved this video. I'm going to save it and watch it again. There are no words to describe just how wonderful this was to watch after a hard day at work... bless you both, always!
Hey Nick and Marrianne I have to say I do love the wake from Smugglers II and when the engine hatch is closed and the gentle hum she makes at 3500 revs it makes me wish for a boat too another great video with you two and have a great day 👍
Thanks, you too!
Howard’s Way? That brings back memories. What a perfect day for Smugglers Blues to stretch her prop shaft, looking forward to more of these.
That is one very pretty lady there Nick. Well the boat looks and sounds lovely. I hope you both enjoy the season. Good luck
So good to see boating videos again (note the correct use of so 😂). These really are your best videos, Nick.
The “so” lark started in the UK around 2014/5. Drives me bonkers! I think it was a US export 🤦♂️
Everyone knows the correct way to answer a question is to commence with “Erm…” 😂
Glad you like them!
The first sea trial of the year is always a fun time. I'm always confident because I know I have gone through every system. Still I find myself slightly anxious because with a couple seasons in dry storage I know there is always a chance of something failing under the load of pressure water puts on the boat that cannot be duplicated on the hard. Was great to see you guys enjoying the trip. I'm in Bodega Bay, California, USA.
Hey there Bodega Bay! 😃
Right on Nick, you guys deserve it
Your vessel has the most beautiful sounding motor. A nice rumble that is soothing to hear. I bet you're having a fun time going out in it?❤️🧜♂️🔱👍🫠 cocoa, fla. USA🇺🇲
I agree, it sounds great! 🙂
I loved this! Thank you so much for sharing your personal boating day out. As someone who is not anticipating being able to get a boat anytime soon and has no boating experience, I am so grateful experience it from your eyes. I live in a beach town on the Gulf Coast of Florida and often sit by the marina wondering what it would be like to actually own a nice yet simple boat and overnight in it. 🛥
You are so welcome!
SO......!
That was a nice video, thank you fore that pleasure!!
I mean, glad you enjoyed it! 😄
Congrats to you and your lovely lady Marianne great boat looks cold there though, it's a sunny 26 here in Australia, I just love sitting in our cockpit , you did great coming in , I don't like coming along side we don't have thrusters it's not easy in 50ft , you did brilliantly both of you, looked like a great day thanks for sharing lovely video enjoy.🤗
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
So glad to see the start of the boatin' season.
I am looking to get my first boat this year and do more videos around the Irish coast as a sailor. Not a fancy sports boat like Smugglers, but a little pilot or Nelson style semi displacement motorboat that I can plod along on during the nice day this summer... though my mates only want to go fishing and drinking in it ;-)
Nothing wrong with that! 🙂
What a lovely start of the season video
and yes for spending a night in the marina in this wonderful weather and peaceful evening.
thanks for sharing lovely moments with us
wish you all the best and more to come lovely boating videos.
take care
keep them coming please.
Many thanks, will do!
Well done. And thanks for sharing. I can almost smell the sea...from the rocky mts.
I forgot to mention earlier that I have the box set of Howard’s Way and have watched it 3 times over the years, love it 🥰
What an amazing way to spend a weekend.
Makes me wish my DBMarine had completed the leg servicing on my 328. So jealous 😅❤❤
*Thank you for allowing us to stow away for the nice day out on the water. Very enjoyable indeed, best from Seattle where opening day is just a few weeks away.* 🛥
Hey there Seattle! 😃
I guessed Howards Way before you turned the camera! Just noticed the subscriber numbers too. Shows the value of all the hard work. Thanks for all the boating! (BTW, really enjoyed your house reviews too. Will there ever be a Housaholic? )
If only I had the time for a third channel! 🙂
16:03 the saga continues 😉😂 All jokes aside it's great to see you and Marianne back on the water, now that my dad and I are no longer able to be on the water seeing you both loving, not a 60ft motor yacht or one of the many amazing super yachts you have reviewed over the years but your own boat just feels a bit more special. Happy boating and safe travels for this season and it was great watching you both enjoy "justification day"
What was that about? I must have missed something!
Sunseeker aren’t letting Nick review their new boats any more
11:44 to see those instrument panel and the dials, plus hearing that hum of the engine took me back to riding in one of those coin operated boat rides at the seaside which has to be near fifty years ago. Funny thing the memory.
smashing upload!!! cracking info-vids of you on other boats giving the run down on spec etc etc , but this is a real smile-giver! the boat looks grand and seems like its really quick!!!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Fabulous as always. Why didn't the Sunseeker get a mention? Story for the future or something I've missed ?
He doesn't talk about them anymore, but the reason why is still apparently reserved for his Yacht Club (paywall) members.
Glorious. Lovely to see you two living your best lives.
Thank you 🙂
Brilliant as always!!
SB2 is looking superb after the winter pampering treatment.
Have a wonderful season of fun afloat.
Thank you, we'l try! 😃
Aqua Nick & Marianne at it again! Thank you for your adventures and sharing with us, your viewers. Cheers. 🍷
Thanks for watching! 😃
Lovely video as always! We're on the Norfolk Broads on a hire boat in a weeks time (just the two of us) and so looking forward to a nice peaceful and relaxing week afloat. This video has got us in the right frame of mind for it as well 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Awesome! I've done that in the past and it's great!
Loved your engine check. Impressive absence of sound with that engine cover down. Good to see Marianne at the helm too 👍👍
Lovely to see you guys out on your boat again. When I’m down your way with the strictly tour i shall look out for you on the water. 👍
Lovely scenery nick and Marianne chilling out
That was a great day you two had. I'm just getting into your videos and I have to say the two of you are quite endearing. Thank you!
Our pleasure!
Just so relaxing, I am now chilled out, thank you both.
Our pleasure!
You bunnies!! Reading your book on a boat. Wonderful!!!
Let's get the flock out of here, as the Shepard said to his sheep dog. Looks like you and Marianne had a great day out and a very nice evening on the water and what a beautiful day it was. The evening shots were fabulous. Now that is the life. And I did not start one sentence with the word so lol 😂
Thanks 🙂
Nick and Marianne I love your videos, but I especially like the ones you do on your boat (you haven't done one for a long time). You guys are just so natural.
There was one a couple of weeks ago, and more to come we hope 🙂
Definitely with you guys, Howard’s Way, the very best of memories for me , I only live a few miles from the location so know the area well.
Great first trip, hoping to do the same this weekend 👍👍
Enjoy!
Great video. Loved the peacefulness at night. Remember watching the post on John Brennan's boat. He seems a really nice man.👍
Beautiful day for a boat trip sea air 😊
The boats are the subject matter; however, your narrative is very much about the lifestyle. Thanks for sharing, Nick. (music is a nice addition)
My pleasure!
Great video as always. I was hoping that this may include the updates/upgrades to SB2 that you trailed in the video earlier where you launched her for this season. Looking forward to seeing that one too. As some of the others have said, your Smugglers videos certainly have the feel good factor - keep them coming please!
Not quite finished yet!
This is an amazing and enchanting video.
Nick, you should only have Maryann with you ALWAYS.
A perfect video with a perfectly matched couple.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Yes, she seems so sweet!! ❤
@@AnastasiaBeaverhousn
"she -seems- sweet" ???? 😊🤦♂
You must have seen the video where she marched Nic up a mountain to a graveyard at the top.
When he complained about the workout, she laughed and said, "It will take all of your puff" - to a graveyard
She tried to kill him off and take over the work on CZcams.
Just fun'n - she is quite lovely.
Thank you Nick & Marianne. I enjoyed watching this on what is a Sunday morning here in Texas. It was a relaxing maiden voyage of the season. I guess that fellow at the 25+ minute mark had something to prove by flying by you. SMH Nick, you're lucky indeed to make a living doing what you love. As the saying goes - Find a job you love to do and you'll never work a day in your life.
Absolutely! 🙂
Thanks Nick and Marianne!
Lucky you got a nice day...Torquay looks as if it's still winter there...
Our pleasure!
The Howards’ Way theme tune brought back floods of memories! Now it’s stuck in my head.. thanks! Great vid.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Sir - I have to say in terms of a perfect day, that is it! I'm hooked and I haven't got a boat yet! Thank you for sharing this video - awesome stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come 🙂
Very jealous as usual! But the big important questions is…. what was the boat you didn’t or couldn’t name? Looked like a Galeon to my very untrained eye. What’s the deal? (I’m a bit OCD so I’m not going to rest until I know) 🤣😁
Fantastic day out on the Liquid freedom...
What can you Wish more..
Thanks for sharing Marianne and Nick
Our pleasure!
So, I thought this was a pretty good video.
🤦🏻♂️
I mean, yeah it was a decent video.
So did i
Just let me say this. So did I.
So, i enjoyed the first half of this vid.. and then the second half 😂
Nice to Dartmouth castle from the water ,
I’ve done so much work on her over the years.
Great to see Smugglers Blues 2 out on the water again the sound of the engine slowly being opened up beautiful. Shame about the weather second part of the week Easter for you
Cheers Nick and Marry
Very nice episode Nick and Marianne. I guess boat people are very friendly by default 😅😅
They do tend to be. 🙂
Thanks for taking us with you to Torbay! We could almost feel the breeze and small the fresh air! 🙏👍
Loved the S word not beıng saıd such a shame happy boatıng
Lovely day. Had a few teases of warm Spring days up here in the Peak District. Just teases though. Wish you both a good season ahead.
Thanks!
Hello Nick, you are easily the most uplifting person in the land of CZcams😊😊😊, thank you for being such amazing vibe and passion for boat life and boat knowledge. I literally watched all you videos for the past 3-4 years along with my breakfast and coffee, what a way to start the day with your videos. Loves from Taiwan
Fantastic! Glad you're enjoying them 😃
Phillips composition was very fitting for Aquaholics!
Mars Knitwear, small world! Local to me and I think I've worked there.
Getting to watch a aquaholic video this soon after getting posted made me feel special 😂
You seem to get more happiness seeing your wife have a great time then anything else. I hope my future relationship is similar!!!
Hah, I was just watching Howards Way whilst eating a late lunch Nick!
I used to be an avid fan in the day....now it looks a bit amateur, but I still enjoy the location (The Jolly Sailor is still a favourite watering hole of mine).
I had forgotten how much plotting and back stabbing was the norm in the late 80's.
Good to see Smugglers Blues back on the water. Enjoy.
Oh, and the 'So' thing....I have noticed that politicians use it a lot....'Look' is used as well!
I have always taken it as a couple of seconds desperate thinking time break to dream up an answer!!
No way! 😃
Looks very fun indeed! A great day out on the water on a lovely day. Brilliant Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
You are correct regarding incorrect usage of the word "so". Many people use it as short for "so what". The phrase "so then" (in my understanding) is like "therefore". But - like some other modern-ish little English words - the word "so" can be used to mean "in this way".
Absolutely agree Marianne, all the tme on BBC reports " so " real wind up !! 🤣🤣
I really enjoyed watching this. Back in 1988 I worked on Miss Serenity, a steel 50 foot pleasure boat out of Torquay..We cruised to Dartmouth nearly everyday during the season. One day in weather very similar to your video we were leaving the Dart with 95 people on board. I was with Skipper Alan on the flying bridge when I glanced to starboard about 30 degrees and saw coming the biggest wave I had ever seen, the crest was up above us. I bashed Alan on the arm and pointed, he said something like oh my god and throttled right back spinning the wheel to starboard and waited the 5 or so seconds. I Had time to shout down into the boat telling everyone to hold on tight before bracing myself. The boat pointed skywards up and up until we reached the crest, I remember quite vividly looking over the bow and think good god the water must be 30 feet below it before we plummetd like a stone slamming back onto the water with a huge shudder and the sounds of things breaking below. Surely if it had been a wooden boat we would have sprung planks. All the certificates in frames had crashed down and smashed, every bottle and glass behind the bar and other stuff not tied down. Everyone was ok though just badly shaken..The sea then resumed back to the calm it had been before. Everytime I see the mouth of the Dart or a video of it I think of this experience. If only we had camera phones working then. Also Nick at this time Jim davidson was moored with his Princess 55 about 10 yds from us at Torquay. he came on our boat and we chatted quayside sometimes. lovely man.
