The most clever and functional cockpit afloat. An interior that has all the quality earmarks of a Beneteau as well. Someone allowed a group of very talented people have a go at a clean sheet of paper - they made this! Thanks for the tour, Nick (don't edit that out later).

Beneteau knows how to do it, very nice, tidy, clean, well thought👍

There's so many boats that make you go "wow" on your channel, but this does it - not for the sheer luxury, but for the cleverness in design. One, if not the, best layout afloat I've seen. An absolute dream. Thanks Nick.

I watch all your videos and I have fallen in love with many boats, but this is the first time I have wanted one. That's the perfect ship for me. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice. I'd have to learn to sail first though!

I like the owners en suite head and shower arrangement!

A beautiful yacht, love the interior so spacious. Great tour Nick thank you.

"I'll edit that out later... You know I won't!" Definitely needs to be on a new Aquaholic t-shirt!

really think i could get into sailing....if only there was less ropes and more engine....

Wow! how lovely! So much in a small package, thanks for the tour Nick!

I think the new Jeanneau 55 is better with full width stern section and really stunning owner’s cabin at the bow. Much better IMO.

As much as I’d prefer a center cockpit on a boat this size, I must say that this is a lot of boat for the money.

I’m not a sailor but I really appreciated seeing the design features you pointed out, thanks Nick.

I checks all the boxes of what a sailing boat should have. Probably one of my favorite layouts I've ever seen!

Clever things on this boat, the garage is a good addition and it seems rather easy to sail with only a couple of people which is great, a lovely yacht thanks for sharing Nick!

Very nice boat, with good indoor space for the size of sailing monohul. I especially like the cockpit, which seems well protected and in the same time you have a walkway from the accommodation under deck to the rear between the tables, so you don't have to ask people sitting in the cockpit to get up, every time you need to go out on the deck. The older monohuls in this class depreciate hugely, which is further a thing to consider for new buyers of old boats: Depreciation is horrible, when you buy new, but a friend, when you can only afford to buy used! You can scoop up a good Beneteau or Bavaria or other of those brands monohuls in this class and size for about 100k Euro about a decade old in the charter business, especially if you look to Croatia and that area. And yes, several has done circumnavigations in these type of boats and many more have crossed the Atlantic Ocean, as for instance sailing and full time living aboard channel Sailing Sunday. I would prefer a catamaran though. More stable at anchor, and I would not chose to dock much at all, where the prices for a monohul is of course much cheaper in most marinas.

Very flexible boat for the people on board. Lovely spacy accommodations that are light due to hatches and light wood. I like that the boat is easy to maintain particularly if you becalmed or in rough weather when something goes round. Excellent boat.

Such a beautiful yacht

Also love love the configuration of the cockpit tables to each side over a single large table!!! Very very user friendly design there! Great job Bene!!

Lovely spacious yacht, I wouldn’t say no but prefer a big engine Great tour as always Cheers Nick and Marrianne

Great yacht with nice bright interior. 😊

Lovely yacht nick and excellent video ⛵️🚤🛥👍👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow amazing veiw Nick Sir.. Looking as good as always

2:55 oh so nice.. I knew it was coming but still impressed, looks very homey

This is just almost perfect. What a beauty.

Simply beautiful. Alwasy love your tours Nick!

Great layout Nick!

Hi Nick, And thank you for this empresive Sailboat from Beneteau Oceanis 54 starting with the garage on the back a nice feature the big cockpit with the double helm nice or i see also some new idears about that I love the light color wood choise makes it very spacious 3 cabines all ensuite looks great and even a sail locker or crew space or for a teenager Thanks again Nick thats a great start for a new week ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A beautiful boat. I've always liked the Beneteau, They have always made lovely boats. France for a lot of people wouldn't spring to mins as a forerunner in leisure craft. But you have Jeanneau, and others to add to a list of quality builds from there. They built the Queen Mary 2 there too as well. A lot of boat for the money.

Another lovely video. I could go round the world in that one.

I'm not a sailing fan, but that's a nice little sailboat. I do like how the ability to walk around is made easier with less obstructions.

Sailing boat interiors like this are always so much more inviting than motor yachts. If only somebody could make this boat, except... - No masts, sails, or ropes. - 200 kWh battery pack to drive an efficient torpedo/pod motor. - Entire deck (and beach deck) covered with solar panels to help charge the battery. - Diesel generator (always operates at optimum speed, when in use) to help charge battery, if needed. - 75+ mile range on battery+solar top up, use generator if you really need to go further in a day, and to provide a total range of 250 miles.

I think we all need to see you & Marianne out sea trialing a sailboat??!! Another wonderful sailing yacht. Thanks for taking us around.

Great boat and it looks very spacious for a 54 footer. I like these sailing yacht tours.

Thank you for the tour Nick. I'm not a big sailing fan but it's always nice to see a well designed sailboat.

This is very nice. Not overly stated but functional. The only item missing is a washer/dryer (unless it is hiding somewhere). Thank you! 🍷

Nice tour Nick. However, looking forward to the next smugglers blues video!

Thank you for a great sailboat review! As an avid sailing fan I always enjoy watching these type of videos. Great stuff!

Nice boat! Thanks for sharing! Keep those cameras rolling Aquaholic team! 👍👍

Hi Nick. An absolutely gorgeous boat, great design and fitout. This is just the sort of yacht you want your best mate to own to use as the "mothership" for those weekends away..... lovely. And of course....being a gentleman... I won't mention the cricket......Howzat! Cheers S

Not a unique comment I’m sure, but I am captivated by the interiors on these yachts…… they seem (by necessity ?) to be so much more social and cohesive for a family or group of friends……. No doubt as a result, they are more limited for a long passage, if you wanted to escape from someone 🤔 As usual with a Beneteau, the quality is obvious and exquisite…….. I wish I had the years in me to learn to sail such a craft, dinghy’s were a feature in my far distant past…….. power ever since. One day 🇬🇧🙂

What an absolute gorgeous boat and I like very very much great lot of thought has been put into it and because I would if I ever get one be a solo sailer this is the boat for me

As usual, thanks for the tour Nick! 😊 I really liked the separate shower in the owner's cabin. Such a beautiful yacht, very well managed spaces!

It turned out to be a fantastic video, Nick. Thank you so much for your effort.👌👏👏👏

That's a lovely boat, and a great tour.

It's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 but hey ho for a sailing yacht what a nicely packaged and furnished yacht, it's such a big shame I have no idea how to sail,so for me to much canvas not enough engines. If I had the knowledge I'd be happy to own a 54ft sailing yacht like this . I appreciate the tour although not for but I still can appreciate the craftwork, design and execution as a yacht such as this,Grand 🤗👌🖖

👍👍 Superb! PS Jim D's just mentioned he's gonna be on Aquaholic again - hooray!👍👍

Another gem Nick--both boat and review, Cheers from Canada's beautiful west coast 🏴‍☠

Lovely boat, and nice views of Wigan marina!

Wonderful video and great narration on all thid yacht has to offer!!! For a 54' boat it is laid out perfectly in it's design. The price isnt bad at at all considering what one is getting with this yacht!!! Thank you Nick!!!

A beautiful beautiful vessel!

Little ship stuff!

Lovely boat, with everything one needs.

As always, great tour,. Would love more sailing yacht tours, Nick!

Stunning

Well shown ! ❤

These are the only Beneteau's that I would think about purchasing I think.

A beautiful laid out interior. I like how you have those custom options to put your own stamp on the boat. Clever design to make things get-at-able. Great tour as always Nick. Have you been sailing ?

I am amazed about the quality of this boat. If I had the funds for a sailing boat, this would be on my short list 😃 Great tour

Best holiday I ever had sailing around the Greek islands, mooring up on an island that had a restaurant on and nothing else, gas only, large blocks of ice for refrigeration, who uses the least amount of fuel competition etc, then watching the parents worse for wear on the tenders trying to get back to the right yacht,

Amazing layout on such a small sailboat. Sometimes I'm not impressed with how cramp the sailboats feel at this size, but not a problem here at all. Personally I think that third head is excessive though, and would give over more space to the third bedroom/galley. Might even have that third bedroom be an office/den space instead, with a Pullman berth.

What a great yacht Nick and of course a great tour as always 👍

Please please do a tour of @sruk's new £1500 super yacht! Great future YT tie-up.

Great video. Love the crew cabin

Nick, never commented on a video before, but thank you for all you do! Today was a significant anniversary for you and I (though you wouldn't know it haha). I started watching your channel during Covid, (March or April of 2020) and since then have watched one of your videos every day when I sit down for lunch since then, missing only a handful of days. Today I ran out of videos to watch! Thanks for the years of daily enterntainment, now I guess I'll have to stick to watching twice a week when you upload, or rewatch some older ones :)! PS. In case you were wondering, my favorite yacht you have toured was the Lazzarra 92 you posted back in 2020. The atrium space was unlike anything I have seen and have yet to see in another yacht. I liked the Aquastar 430 for that same open feeling (and it being more realistically in my price range haha). Was wondering your thoughts on those boats and if you have a favorite you have toured! Apologize for the rant and keep up the amazing work, has been great watching the channel grow.

Gorgeous boat! Very nice job on your review as always.

the late great Terry Wogan would have corrected you as he did to many people on his Radio show it is not sat on the bed it is sitting on the bed❤

Thanks Nick! 😊

Wow, what a nice boat!

I won't make a sailor but I wouldn't say no to an afternoon on her. Thank you Nick.

I'm fascinated by sailboats, but having only worked on superyachts, I much prefer those. I had the opportunity to crew a sailboat and a catamaran and I turned it down because the pay was so low, but I think about it now and should have done it for the experience. But youth does not afford wisdom.

Wow, that is very impressive. It couldn't be much better without making it bigger. Now, if I just had 525k pounds, I'd be good to go....

Very nice, and great value. Would be nicer without the extra heads, and the bigger galley, so good to know that is an option. But would still spend my money on a motor yacht. If I had said money...

Beautiful sailboat!

You really do explain everything so well. Have you ever considered selling boats ? You’d be great

Lovely. A lot of great thinking gone into that design. Now, the little issue of being £525,000 short...

Hey Nick, great review. I follow some sailing channels and I know for a fact that sailing is not for me. It’s too much labour and exhaustion. The boat is nice though, but, to each their own.

Very nice owners cabin.

its a nice looking boat. But with bolted on keel, non protected rudders just is not really the safest option, it is however the cheaper way of constructing a boat, thats why they do it. ( yes I know that twin rudders reduce weather helm) . Also the fact you have to pay extra for a 31l freezer or you're stuck with that tiny 16l one is just insane. But I suppose this boat is designed for costal cruising really.

Is there a water maker? I would think yes if this boat is able to stay out for a while.

Gracias❤

Hi Nick, nothing wrong with the boat and layout BUT who needs a mini dishwasher on a yacht (practicality when heeling etc) when a sink and marigold gloves would be a better option 😎 and utalise the space for a freezer. However sail boating isnt my thing, its too complicated for my brain, unless someone wants to take me out for a couple days and educate me 🧐 (offers accepted). Cheers DougT

What a dream ❤

Beautiful boat.

It's leagues ahead of my father's old 51!

Beautiful

Fantastic sailing boat indeed.. Looks beautiful and truly functional. Thank for this tour Nick..

Hello Again, Once more Nick a really informative review of a very cleverly designed boat, the manufacture and future owners should be pleased. Regards, RichardA.

Also, I get the idea with the cockpit table being out of the way, but the 46.1 has a fridge in the table, and I’d much prefer that.

Very nice boat!

Ok she is nice .. I would opt for the 3 cabin 2 head version to have a bigger galley especially as a live aboard yacht

Would much rather have the laundry where the 2nd cabin en suite is ! 2 full heads are good enough for sailing but then again this is really built to sit at docks rather than blue water sailing. Not comfortable with that open aft cockpit when you’re mid Atlantic/pacific in a storm! 😂🤣 otherwise a pop of color in that bland interior and it’s my dream home! Def a great upgrade from my Ocianis 40!

Comparing value for money, the sailing yacht wins every time. This is a luxury boat, 54 feet long with all the luxury. For what you pay for a 35 footer, motorboat...

Would be better with in-boom furling and at least some travel adjustment so you can power off the leech. Other than the garage its basically an Oceanis 51.1

Very modern with lots of design input and facilities. The trouble though with these built down to a price production boats is they just don t look like they will stand the test of time. Particularly the interiors which are more like caravans. Where is the joinery quality needed for lasting sea use

That is not practical thinking at all. If the TV is up then you can not open those doors to get at the switches. 5:39

Fantástico Nick 👏👏👏🤜🤛👍🏽🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴

Thusly.. nice 👌

One thing I never thought about: can an auto pilot on a sailing yacht also tack against the wind?

Seems like an awful lot of boat/ features and kit for the money, just stunning! Thanks for the review, cheers!
