Yes, love it! More working boats please! Fire boats! Tug boats! Coast Guard! You always do such a good job on the uninterrupted walk through. Well done.

How brilliant that Red Funnel facilitated this for you. Great for them and great for the channel. So envious you got to go everywhere I'd love to. Looking forward to the sea trial and the next commercial vessel. Thanks Nick.

Tours of more commercial boats would be great.

About this time 11 years ago I was on holiday in Gurnard (where my mum was from) and she was taken very ill and rushed to intensive care and the Red Jet meant I got to spend maximum time with her before she died. Love that boat (not so much when it’s ploughing toward me at 35 knots and the Solent is busy mind you 😂)

A full tour on a cruise ship.... when you see what spaces there are that the passengers will never see, you immediately have videos for a whole year, Nick! But the fact remains that every ship, private or commercial, is always interesting. They all remain unique copies and you make it understandable for everyone.

How fantastic is this, what a treat to be able to see the hidden bits of a commercial boat! Absolutely amazing thanks Nick, Lewis and Paul!

I commute on these to Southampton from my home on the Isle of Wight! I feel like seeing a tour of a vessel I've actually been on somehow makes me a qualified Aquaholic fan now :)

Thanks for a comprehensive educational tour. The 16,000 hour refurbishment schedule is interesting, especially the access points. The safety measures and duplicate controls are reassuring. Red Funnel Ferries should be rightfully proud of their fleet.

"It won't kill people..... and that's generally considered a good thing..." Classic understatement that made me laugh out loud!

17:15 The final backup "Operate solenoids using small screwdriver" hahah love it

Why not, a verity of all things that float would be a welcome sight for me. A cruise ship would be amazing and a very long video for sure. Very well done Nick!

I love looking at the working vessels, not just leisure boats. Thank you very much for getting us a look. I'm all for more of the like.

I enjoyed this more than the super yachts - reminds me of what The Discovery channel used to be like in the 90s, which, is a good thing. Really well done for both parties arranging this tour - really interesting and you're right, good to see the areas the general public never see. Also, a little nice thing was to see my brother in law's firm represented on the life rafts - Survitec

Absolutely fantastic tour Nick, keep up the good work. Always enjoy your videos.

Wow! loved that Nick, don't get me wrong, love your regular yacht tours but this was amazing! definitely want more like this...... and bigger! 🤩🤩🤩

So this is the "special catamaran" you told me about? Amazing, great job as always sir!

Thanks to Red Funnel and you for sharing such an awesome boat! ❤😊

That's the kind of video I want to watch on a Sunday afternoon. Brilliant tour, thank you so much!! 😊

Brilliantly enjoyable tour Nick, thank you! Really good to see behind the scenes of something different. Never been in the RedJet, but did have to get out of the way of one once!

Thanks Nick, really enjoyable tour and fascinating, more please

thank you for the tour. great boat.

Nick you just keep amazing us with the scope of your exploring 👍

Fascinating! Thanks for the tour.

Really enjoyed that tour thanks,

What a fantastic beastie brilliant to see the otherwise unseen bits of a proper working vessel . Particularly the engine spaces I love a thoughtfully laid out getatable engine room and this baby did not fail to satisfy . Many thanks Nick you really do strive to bring us the best stuff keep it up that man .

More of this would be a great addition to the channel.

a cruise ship sounds great! Although that video would probably be a few hours long although more aquaholic is never a bad thing.

Fascinating, thanks for bringing us something different Nick. Having been on these its wonderful to see all the areas I would otherwise never see.

This was awesome Nick! Love seeing the different boats and all the behind the scenes stuff!

Absolutely fascinating, love it, thank you.

Great tour and very cool with the variation in type of Wessels

It's surprisingly small! From the outside I expected floor after floor of tour, but really it's just two massive pushy bits with a bunch of seats stuck in-between them. Would love to see one converted it into a luxury yacht.

Absolutely fantastic Nick, many thanks for your efforts to bring something- different to Aquaholic. Thanks also to Red Funnel or their co-operation.

Fabliously informative. Muchas gracias.

Nice one Nick,best review yet. Thanks😊

I've been on the red jet 7 at cruising speed when a small fishing boat drifted onto our course. We immediately went into full reverse so we felt the immense power of the braking and it really did stop in its own length maybe even less!

Of course I had to look up how long a crossing takes, about 28 min. This is fascinating stuff. I'm joining the choir who wants to see more commercial boats.

Absolutely cool Nick thanks to you and Marie Anne for all the work to keep us entertained 👍😀

Thank you so much for this one !

As always, an absolutely fascinating tour Nick. I really enjoyed that. Not too often we see a "working" boat on your channel. A worthwhile "variation on the theme". Once again, thanks.

Fantastic! Great tour of a Remarkable vessel, they’ve certainly made it safe in every way possible. Looking forward to seeing the sea trials, from the Captains point of view. Great Tour Cheers Nick and Marrianne as always, thoroughly enjoyable.

Love it! Very, very interesting. Great job Nick!

Super interesting. Thanks to Red Funnel for letting you access all areas for us.

Its like an airplane. Looks like it would be a comfortable way to travel. Thank you Nick.

This is really interesting and simply awesome... Thank you, Nick...❤

What a utterly fascinating video nick.I really enjoyed every moment, thankyou very much as always.

Wonderful tour with nice views ! Please more high speed crafts :)

Thank you for the tour Nick. Very interesting. It's definitely something most of us haven't seen before in detail.

Thanks Nick, great to see, I’ve been lucky enough to go up on the bridge of a Red Jet when I worked for them.

Holy simoleons! Thrusters that will hold her in position in 45 knot crosswinds? Insane. I've spent a bit of time riding SF Bay Area high speed ferries. And diplomatically quizzing crew on technical details. As we know....curiosity is appreciated by crew...but often impedes their ability to get the job done and run a safe vessel. Mucho appreciado Nick. This project must have consumed a ton of time and the fact that you got this "get" is testament to your breadth of skills. Dealmaker....Cap'n....and appreciator of tech, power, and SPEED. 👋 Thank you!

Fascinating tour.

Awesomeness. Love this.

For many years we lived on UES in Manhattan (far E 85th). Much of my work was down on Wall St. Not until 2018 did they start the East River ferry. My attitude getting to the office on water was 1000% better than taking the subway.

Thank you Nick, I really enjoyed this. I was in Sweden recently and used the hour long journey on the water ferries between Tappström and Klara Mälarstrand in Stockholm, a bit smaller and conventionally powered but you could sit outside if you wanted to (very steep stairs though). They also had bar/serveries for refreshments. All new to me and fun to ride, much better than a bus. If you want a fun "cruise ship" check out the Silja Line Ferries between Stockholm and Helsinki. They are full sized Cruise ships.

Wonderful tour and definitely something different. This also might be the first time we've seen Nick doing a tour in shoes :-).

Fantastic Tour!, Thank you!, Been to the iow on holidays now for the past 10 years !, Staying on a campsite in East Cowes!, See these spectacular boats every day and always been fascinated by them !, Definitely doing a round trip on one next year!!👍👍

Awesome stuff! So excited for the sea trial!

That looks fantastic love the channel and vids keep it up, mate 👍😉

Awesome, thanks for the tour.

This was fun! Thanks 😊

Well that was different Nick, Very interesting and as you said not something you would normally see. Looking forward to the next unusual tour. Thank you.

Nick, I find working boats so interesting. You can see all the working parts where on a yacht they are mostly concealed for aesthetics.

Great tour!

Something different, love it

That was a great video. Totally impressed. Redundancy galore. Thanks, Nick.😊

Amazing comprehensive and technical commentary Nick…impressive yet again!

Wow just wow. Awesome tour. You never cease to amaze. Well done it was uber amazing. ⚓🚢

Thanks for that used to work on these when I was an apprentice electrician for Austral Boats ..

Great video. I'll be booking a ticket on one of them in the near future!!

Brill, Nick, thank you - a boat we can all use / experience. I haven't been on a Red Jet but have been on Red Funnels (same firm) and Wight Sun, etc - be good to see those one day. Welcome back to Hampshire, by the way. Cheers.

Enjoyed that a lot, thanks

Really nice! thanks for sharing

Fascinating, an excellent video, thanks to all concerned

Very interesting tour. I have traveled on Red Jets many times and the predecessors the Shearwater hydrofoils so it was great to see the areas not usually seen by the passengers.

Thank you for sharing this ferry yacht/boat.

What an interesting boat, it would make a great live aboard, with all that space, not sure about the range, but plenty of speed.

Thanks so much to Red Jet and to you mate for one of the best videos! More commercial water bourne craft including hovercrafts if you get the opportunity especially those in different countries! Cheers mate

Love seeing Hamilton Jet! Their global headquarters and factory are only about 10 mins from my own home! New Zealand innovation and manufacturing rockstar!

Very interesting Nick, thanks for that. For a few years I used either the Hoverspeed Cats from Dover to Calais or the one to Boulogne every weekend to travel to Belgium before I moved here full time, great to see how their smaller sisters operate and what's under their skirts 😉 When those services were cancelled I went on to the Norfolk Line Dover to Dunkirk route and my little car stuck between all those HGVs great times! First time I took my wife to be to the UK was on the cat from Calais, Happy days :)

Fantastic video, found it really interesting 👍

very cool Nick, i have worked in the marine industry since i left school in 1990 and love working boats. this was cool. did my apprenticeship at Vospers that used to be right opposite ocean village so this brings back memories. Town Quay was also a good drinking spot lol.

Wow, this is exciting! Thank you, Nick, for keeping all of us entertained.

Amazing access, love it!🥰🥰🥰

Thank you for all of your Videos ... Greetings from Germany 🙂

So good red funnel allowed this , fantastic video

I really loved this video and would love to see more working boat tours! Please please get with Daemon to let you on their electric tugs and fancy crew transports! Coast guard SRVs would be awesome too, or fishing trawlers

New drinking game. Every time Nick says "backups" 😂

This is an interesting and welcome departure from your normal content. Well done!

Could you get onto one of these overhaul trips where they test the boats to the limit?! That would be an amazing sea trial!

I love travelling to the IOW on this nice one Nick👍

that's amazing! What a fantastic boat. I'd like to convert that to a live aboard :)

Great one! really interesting especially having been on these boats. Could see an Isle of Wight car ferry next on your list!

Another excellent video somewhat different than normal huge thanks to Red funnel for asking you to do this one. Thanks for posting Nick

That was cool Nick and Id like to see more like this, commercial watercraft and even something like a tugboat would be really cool to see...keep up the fine work and greetings from Canada🤘

Very interesting tour, I can’t help but think the ship would be a great basis for a super yacht conversion.

That is awesome!! I’ve always wondered how these ships work. Thank you!! Can we have more commercial content? That would be great!!

Wow a fantastic review thank you

Love this content...would definitely love to see more tours of various types of working vessels such as ferries and tour boats and the like.💯👍

Brilliant video! Great idea to do a tour of commercial ships! More of this please

Great Boat Nick, would love to see some more commercial boats like this. After a few years of watching your channel we have finally go a boat ourselves!
