I’ve watched hundreds of KZfaq video presentations of yachts, and I must say, THIS particular video is my all time favorite. I love the fact that you don’t open EVERY SINGLE CABINET, DRAWER, AND STORAGE LOCKER like many people do when giving a tour. I think this particular ship/yacht is in my top five. Thank you for your professionalism in giving us this tour.

Back when I was a student on the Nautical College in Den Helder (the Netherlands) I have sailed on this vessel three times. Of course this was before her conversion. Wonderful to see her back in this video.

This is not the usual over sized modern speed boat I see around today. It is a real ship and reminds me immediately of the the Christiana. I could live with the single caterpillar engine with no worries, as many a much bigger ship have had in the past. And I would feel more comfortable and safer travelling around the world, aboard this ship than most other flash yachts I see around today. I was stuck in the Indian ocean in a monsoon once on an old 16,000 ton ship with this design hull, and these canoe hulls are designed to handle the rough weather. It does not matter how fast your boat can go, it won't help in rough seas because you have to slow down in rough seas to match the seas pace to survive. Even a 200,000 ton ships has to do that. This is a liner hull and not a cruise ship hull which has to avoid rough weather like the plague.

How nice to see, my brother in law was involved in the first build (refit) back in 2006, for what I remember the old trainings vessel was filled up to her neck with asbestos that all had to go out, it was done on a shipyard in Poland before any other work could be done to her. Also nice to see some instruments I worked on in the past on the bridge, so I can say there is a little bit of me on board of this wonderful vessel!

Absolutely Stunning Vessel, credit to the Owners and Crew, Beautiful.

This is probably the most beautiful ship I've ever seen. Especially all the different elements of dutch maritime design, such as that wheelhouse has clearly its inspiration of tugboat Holland, the funnels are undoubtedly connected with Bureau Wijsmuller and Smit Lloyd, somehow I also got a sense of the Holland America Line ships in its over all design. I've probably missed a few eastereggs but nonetheless an absolute brilliant vessel

Ehat a treat and what an awesome vessel. To be invited aboard, for any reason is just amazing. I'm sure they were excited to get some new people aboard, but to also,habe someone that loves yachts and especially explorer yachts. The ultimate dream. Hearing the kids in the background knowing they are tzken care of....priceless

So better than the usual hideously stark designs. Classic in every way. Love the hull shape.

Beautiful!

Looks like the Yacht in the start of the movie 'Clear and Present Danger' being chased by the US coast guard.

What an incredible and beautiful Explorer. She purrs like a kitten. I am sure you and your family had a wonderful time. I know I would. 👍

It's nice to see some large motor yachts are still actually capable ships with added luxury. They did a beautiful job converting her.

Finally a vessel that can house more than 8 or 10 guests and well under a 100 meters. So many staterooms and they are huge! This is what makes this vessel special for me.

Wow, I was getting bored of all the newer super yacht tours on other channels as they start to blend together after awhile of seeing the same yacht types and manufacturers. The main shape is pretty standard on them and exterior/interior finishes start to look or feel the same. But this boat is stunning! All the same luxury, but with a different and amazing layout. Great tour.

Style, Style and Style just BEAUTIFUL, who did the interior design ?

I love conversion boats. Got character, cosy, intimate yet still luxury. I also like the older style

I'd have thought that that shaft would have had some sort of guard over it!

Magnificent! I am always stunned, however, that regardless of the size of these super yachts, they always seem to have tiny toilets. I call them "telephone toilets" (unlike the old telephone handsets). That means they are so small, one has to to move forward and aft to do each part of your personal business. For me, I always have the existing toilets taken out of a home I have purchased and an "handicapped" toilet installed. Makes for the best comfort and ease. I love the cleanliness of this yacht, especially the mechanical areas. A clean, well painted and lit engine room tells me that the yacht has a crew that is proud of her.

Yup Christmas 🎄🎁🎄 has really come early for you and family. You lucky people. She looks old fashioned and yet ..... She obviously got modern touches that elevated the safety of passengers and crew. A lovely find to show us. Thank you.

The engine almost sounds like a greyhound bus (minus the screaming bus passengers). Love the colours and decorations. The number of passengers is perfect too. For someone who would love to live on his own personal yacht by himself but at the same time with some other people, this would be perfect. Though the Joey Room (owner's cabin) would not be that big unless its the crew's tv lounge as well as my cabin.

Groovy yacht, classic old world looks with modern equipment. I dig it. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful Yacht! 👌🏻 And great video 👍🏻❤️😃

That canoe table is awesome

Nice!❤️👍It’s great that you were able to have your family along. What an awesome experience it must have been. Especially for children with a caring crew. Well deserved! You do a fantastic job!

Absolutely beautiful stunning, is like a small cruise ship love it

The WOW factor❗️

Incredible yacht

Start my trip from Trieste, Italy. Visit the many islands of Croatia on the jet skis. Onward to Tivat and Kotor, Montenegro. How about a stop in Durres, Albania, before heading to Athen, Greece. Time to head back. Stopping in Puglia and Sorrento, Italy before arriving back in Trieste, Italy 🇮🇹. Don't get me started on Patagonia and Hobart.

great walkthrough

This is next level. Wow

I made trips on the original Princes Margriet when I did my Engineer training to become 5th engineer 🙂

The production value is getting so much better John...well done. I've been a fan of Sherakhan since she had a blue hull!

Reminds me of my days on smaller yachts sleeping aft near the engines during a night passage and you couldn't hear the engines, but you could feel them and the slightest roxk of the waves just puts you to sleep like nothing else. On bigger yachts, that's all mitigated and on longer passages, up,forward, you got some motion that wasn't so peaceful. But in the,guest areas...calm motion.

That is insane! Thank you!

Lovely motor yacht so much more character than a modern. Great tour. Thanks

stunning boat

My all-time favorite motor yacht is the Taransay built by Rossinavi. I hope that someday, somebody posts a proper tour. That being said, I prefer pretty much any cutter or schooner over a motor yacht any day.

Yes!! A really good video! This is how it should be! And a very nice yacht at that!! What a spectacular yacht!

That yacht is amazing 👍👍👍

Good NZ morning John. Just had a quiet laugh to myself about the gym. If they really are coming down this way to Antarctica, even during our southern summer, they'll be dealing with the Roaring 40s, Furious 50s and Screaming 60's. They don't go away. Guests will get all the Gym work they need without trying. Speaking from experience. Even with the stabilisers working overtime. There's a huge difference between cruising the Med, and getting chucked around down here. Nice vessel though. However I still like "Just B." Thank you for the presentation. Quality editing mate. Until next time, take care.

What a tour! Thanks! Engine room is outstanding

Possibly your best yacht walkthrough! A very impressive 70m that has been incredibly well re-modelled. I am amazed at the guest accommodation, so well done with minimal wasted space but still manages to give you everything you want and more with a feeling of space! There is so much to like about this yacht. The guest cabins are beautiful, the deck spaces are great, I love the big dining table for 22 and the galley is impressive. To me, a bridge is a bridge, the yacht gets steered and stopped. Black magic! I'm a numptie that thinks the captain is the driver, the chauffeur while I am more interested in the chef and sommelier, maybe the barista. What I didn't like is that if this is explorer yacht, not a weekend gin palace, I would like an overview to see if the crew are unhappy galley slaves, as in properly accommodated for long voyages that Antarctica would involve. And the range is almost too modest. I didn't like the engine room, more modern yachts seem to look so orderly and uncluttered but I'd shriek and run away if someone offered to show me "the engine". I know nothing! Lastly, it may be OK for living on the yacht for a few days, becoming accustomed to the layout, the decks etc but for me, I like pictures and a deck plan layout provides a great context or framework to make sense of how things work and fit together. To me, a superyacht is simply a resort hotel that floats and is mobile but there is so much variability in superyacht designs.

that is awesome

I would love to take that through the drake lol

What an incredible vessel, and what an amazing tour! This is beyond a super yacht, more like a small private cruise ship! It's perfect to celebrate a milestone event with a larger group of friends and family. I would be delighted to cruise around southwest of Turkiye & the Greek islands (one day maybe...)

Stunning! thanks again John for another great video ⚓

Great live aboard. Would make a great yaght to do the great Amercan loop.

Yep, build in 1966 in the Netherlands as a marine instruction vessel. If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much!

Superb tour, John! Many thanks!

Fantastic ship….not just as an Explorer Yacht but overall. Great video…terrific job with the size and how much time you had. We saw what we needed to see to make us very jealous of your visit with your family 😊

WOW👍

The immediate drone fly-by is impressive and gives true James Bond vibes. A truly beautiful vessel that will catch the attention of true 1960'ties connoisseurs. I practically NEVER comment when I have almost nothing good to say about a ship, but.. ...it's all downhill form there: The stainless steel dorade vents reveals first signs of mixed taste, like the mall-like atrium interior, the bamboo decorated spa and the hiddious tree-root-like "lounge chairs" or the hand-shaped bar stools. The on-suites are just a mix of everything and the master cabin reminds me of the cafeteria on the old Rostock-Gedser ferries. I DO enjoy your videos in general and it's interesting to see what wealthy people are ready to throw away spare dollars on. I'm truly glad your family enjoyed your stay :) Keep the videos coming. Consider all hate this comment gets as a small contribution to your channel :)

That is awesome and I enjoy your videos

Beautiful, it has a feel of the turn of century yacht. It feels like guests in more formal attire should be moving about, and a Belgian gentleman by the name of Hercule. 😊 peace

Croatia and/or the Adriatic..... Yeah!

Nooossa q belo exlplorador, enorme e com bastante luxo p este tipo de iate. Tenho algo que me diz q ele devia ter 2 motores, mesmo sabendo q o q ele tem é o inquebravel Caterpillar, e ja esta fazendo no proximo ano 2025, 20 anos de uso, com certeza com todas a revisões feitas a contento e rigor p segurança de todos q nele desfrutam de belissimas viagens e explorações. Parabeeeens.

thats a good one.

Love it . . Id own it . .

I have never seen anything like this boat. What else could you ask for?

i don't even have the money to even be-able to step on broad

Wow that ship has class without ostentation.

Superbe navire

If that's not a James Bond 007 Yacht I don't know what is!❤❤❤

Ya what we would like to see on board yachts like that..... Can we even say that here? You know, being a navy guy and 1 thing I know aout navy guys - they are the same as army guys!

😍

How much do the owners have invested so far in m/y Sherakhan?

👍👌

I want one

Amalfi Coast Italy

If emphasis is on this boat as a charter, why do we see the wheelhouse and engine 25 seconds into the video? If I ever charter, I’ll be spending my time in the oversized hot tub. 😅

10 gallons per mile isn't quite what I'd call efficient, even for a yacht of this size.

Crew area? Forgot how many crew it holds.

Preferred the original, taller , superstructure.

Interesting how they painted over all the equipment in the engine room, including the screw heads. Looks nice, but creates problems trying to remove those fasteners. Had a used car once where this was done. Looked good, but was a bitch to work on.

I’m not sure I would want to go to the Antarctic in a single engine ship.

Pendennis conversion?

Its a ship

For sale? 😊

The master suite has only 1 Eames chair? In an awful floral pattern, to each his own. An original Eames chair and ottoman in black leather is worth over 7K. Extremely comfortable and well worth the... price

Must cost a fortune to run though 🤔

Selling your channel to advertisement now.

never take your eyes off a kid espcially a 4 year old

In a different life, with billions in assets, this would be my home.

I loved every square inch of this yacht. I hope to own one exactly like this one day soon. But I sure wouldn't charter her if she were mine, nor allow any children onboard.
