£1M Princess V58 - We circumnavigated Mallorca, living onboard with our kids. What could go wrong?

2 роки тому

James tests this Princess V58 and lives onboard whilst circumnavigating Mallorca with his family. Once back at base, James gives the boat his boat-tour treatment going into the nitty-gritty of what is great and what could be improved on this impressive boat.

Finally a warts and all video showing a family using a nice motor yacht. Very informative.

Ah thank you 😊

What a brilliant honest review love the video 👍

@TradeWindgng Рік тому

Again...spot on …Lovely lovely video those passage video makes the channel so dynamic and you just cant stop watching and you want to know what's next! missed the marina maneuvering clips "going along side and casting off" hope to see them in the next video! explaining the dashboard is great going through the pros & cons of the boat is great showing the plumbing for the waste tank is a bonus. showing the intended passage plan is enlightening and make you relate to it. All in all brilliant please keep them coming stay safe

Brilliant real world run. Knowing the fuel burn would be an interesting number and a look at the engine room is a must. More out on the water videos are always a treat.

Why not use the ”single lever” function? It is extremely comfortable as soon as you’re out of the docks. (it controls both engines with one lever)

An interestimg video for a potential boat owner... Just one small point though the actual name of the boat you were on, is "Buenas" ( Spanish and pronounced as BWAY-NAS)meaning "Good"..No wonder there was a little confusion with the port authorities..!! Jajaja

@ryanalley2446 2 роки тому

What an awesome and informative video, thanks. How many times did you fill up the boat with fuel in the two weeks?

@Boatscouk 2 роки тому

I think it was just one fill up all week - I driver her gently when not on video 😂

@goranmajvall4397 Рік тому

Thanks for your charing, lovely boat and I like you can say (and do it) both god and bad of your experience of living on the boat.

@adamroche144 2 роки тому

Could be wrong but on our motor yacht the two markers on the fuel is not actual and what it thinks, its the Red is your portside tank and green starboard tank level. Love the trip, we have done a few trips to the islands. I would recommend formentera ! We done a few videos of it on the channel

@Boatscouk 2 роки тому

Yes you are right- always learning 😊

@petermartin4675 2 роки тому

Can you do a vid on the new 58 for 22, to see if they fixed your concerns. Still a lovely boat ,keep the vids coming.

I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I’m really interested in buying something . But I’m not sure if I’m confident enough in handling it myself .
