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.

Tours of more commercial boats would be great.

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.

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.

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 😂)

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.

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!

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!

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

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

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.

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

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 :)

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

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

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! 🤩🤩🤩

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

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

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

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

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.

On you tube I watch boats, boats and more boats. 😂😂 thanks for feeding my addiction Nick ❤

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

Behind the scenes with Nick and Jack the Sack. Thank you thusly! 🤣

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 .

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

Thanks Paul and Lewis for giving Nick the full tour and Nick great job passing along to us! Sea trial soon! HYPE! :)

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!

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

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

A special one! So special, the Master of GMT was invited to tag along! :) Thanks again, Nick

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Got to say these things go so fast through southampton waters and one minute we’re cruising with nothing in sight, next thing you know you have the red jet hurtling up behind you! Amazing tour as always though :)

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

Tremendous amount of fun Especially the bridge and the engine room

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

Fantastic tour! Would be incredible to see behind the big cruise ships

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

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

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

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!!👍👍

Thanks Nick, really enjoyable tour and fascinating, more please

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

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

Tours of commercial and research boats would be great. When a boat has a particular purpose it can really impact the build - with your detailed full tours you would be able to highlight plenty of those sorts of details. Thanks for your hard work!

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

Good description of the jet buckets!...there is some good vids on here of jet boat "crash stops"

So good red funnel allowed this , fantastic video

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

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!

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.

What an absolute delight 😊 😃 as much as I love your super yachts, this was a lovely surprise. I echo others comments, commercial and other watercraft very much appreciated. A navy patrol boat would be a dream. 🥰

Nice tour, as ever, Nick. Very comprehensive and informative. Not for me though. No master cabin and it needs a crane on the upper deck for the tender and jet ski. I'll stick to the Manhattan 55.

Love how the last backup is to take to it with a screwdriver!

Absolutely fascinating. I used the think Nordhavns were the standard for redundancy but they have nothing on what you need for a successful commercial vehicle! Along with a lot of other people I would love it if you got to do more of this kind of thing occasionally along with the superyacht tours.

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.

What a cool tour! Its a suprise to see in pants. Have a marvelous day and see you on the nest tour.

I sincerely hope that the sea trial will involve one of those mind bending emergency stops.

Thank you for sharing this ferry yacht/boat.

Hi Nick, Now Nick this is something diffrent this time a high speed bus/train on the water with a lot of people onboard a show what we not see every day great this Red Jet 7 a High speed Ferry a very nice show Nick thank you there for I can hardly wait for the sea trail ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great tour!! See if you can provide a tour of a Coast Guard vessel and bring it full circle the viewers.

Hi Nick, absolutely great alternative posting. 5⭐ Cheers DougT

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.

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

Thanks Nick, fantastic tour of a vessel I've been on many times. Very impressed by how much safety gear is built in, so many back-ups.😍

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

One of the most fascinating tours you have produced. The operators of the ferries could show timid passengers excerpts from this tour to satisfy their concerns. Bravo!

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.

What a nice boat for a large family.

Super impressive to see commercial vessels like that. Would love to see more. Cheers Nick, Nick.

Great tour! I hope there was more than that one toilet? Would be interesting to see a video where someone has taken a vehicle like this and refurbished for private usage. The manufacturer would do well if they had a base model which could be added to by a yacht refit company. Would make a great toy for someone rich.

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

thank you for the tour. great boat.

Would love a tour of the Boeing Jetfoil in Hong Kong. They are awesome bits of kit.

This one was very interesting, Nick! Awesome ship. BIG cruise ship next! Hahaha! Cheers

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

you could make pretty awesome yacht out of that thing. excellente as usually senor nick!! yada yadas!! 👍👍

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!

Great video. A tour of a Red Funnel RoRo would make an excellent follow up.

Acuaholic the movie is the big thing for the future. Huge tour of a 300+meter cruiseship, a great tour of every inch. 😅

We need this sort of engineering on the Calmac fleet!

Next one will be a cruise ship for sure :) Nice one. What a machine!

A classic line, “these won’t kill people who are in that space, which is generally regarded as a good thing” love the subtle humour in your vids, class….. 😂

a great vlog, thanks Nick. A tour of a Navy Sub would be interesting!

Fabliously informative. Muchas gracias.

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!

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

I'm old enough to remember the hydrofoils blasting past us as I sailed my little Laser off of Calshot, then my Saber as I would make my way out from Ashlett to wherever on a Friday. It's a shame the internet wasn't around then, I would have enjoyed seeing Nick crawl around one of those.

Well.. You have certainly peaked the curiosity of a lot of your subscribers (me included) to the commercial aspect of a life on the ocean wave. I found it absolutely fascinating. Tell me have you ever toured any luxury yachts with the jet engines, I know they build them in New Zealand.

I like the fact that it is all on one level being as I am stuck in a wheelchair. I wonder if anyone has converted something like this into a 40 meter super yacht, you certainly have the deck space to have amazing berthing and crew cabins and all the extra spaces for distance cruising, derate the engines, reduce by 2, who needs a 40 knot super yacht. I imagine properly configured you could get 3000 Nm range, we are seeing a lot of older hulls revamped and in some cases lengthened, sounds like a fun project.

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

Its time to get you on a brand new jet powered lifeboat and CTV Nick 💪

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

Fascinating! Thanks for the tour.
