No disrespect to any other UKpostsr, however this is the only yacht channel to honestly present the realities of life onboard 9.5/10 🏅🎖🏅

@Boatscouk 2 роки тому

Thanks Superyacht chef. I love to show how good or bad boats are 😀( and have a laugh)

@superyachtchef 2 роки тому

mate - just finished a stint of 137 days of back to back charters. I'm in the market fir a UK based live-aboard, I'm all about the heads (bathroms), so your floss test is bangingly brilliant 🏆

You have a relaxed commentary, bit of humor, plenty of good information and a trooper for a camera man. The T47 is a nice all around boat.

Really nice saloon too - thanks Patricia 😊

@constantineding8700 2 роки тому

To be honest, I'm not so interested in this boat as other boats you showed on the channel, but I still watched all of it because I like your walkthrough. One piece of advice, don't listen to your brother! Keep up all the good jokes! They are definately one of the best parts!

@Boatscouk 2 роки тому

Thanks Constantine 😊

@EST3022 9 місяців тому

Just came across this review. The Tiara 4700 Sovran from 2008 is a much better build. That engine room looks tiny. I like that it has straight vs V drive. Sightlines in the cockpit look obstructed as you appear to need to scoot down to look starboard and to the port (not just the turn). The galley sink bowls looked odd. Would have been good to see the inside of the garage. Walk arounds look very narrow - I can understand why a previous owner added a handrail. Thanks for the detailed review.

@kalmi0072 Рік тому

Thank you for your videos I love watching them I learn a lot from them. It would be great to do a Q&A video because I have so many questions. Is there a brand that you would say is the “most reliable”? Best value for money? How to transport a boat for example from UK to Croatia? What are the costs? Whats your best tip for a family of 4 with a budget of 200kEUR?

@Boatscouk Рік тому

Wow ! Loads of questions . Dm me at james@boats.Co.uk and I will answer all your questions 😊

@oddjob4877 2 роки тому

The problem with the Fairline Targa range was that the visibility was shocking and I’ve driven London buses that were quieter. But they do look pretty.

@Boatscouk 2 роки тому

I think the viz is good but they are noisy - a small price to pay for exceptional engineering

@aardvarkmindshank 2 роки тому

Brilliant video. Very entertaining and a nice boat.

@Boatscouk 2 роки тому

Thanks Aardvark - t47 is a great boat 🚤

@stephenspilsbury1975 2 роки тому

👍. Keep on boating

@davidantill6949 2 роки тому

Great video, lovely boat but would prefer a flybridge. Love the way you blame the holding tank pipe after exerting yourself getting out the engine bay. An expensive way of washing the fenders but looks like fun. You have balls to go that close to the shore at high speed on a falling tide (either that or very good insurance) 🙂

@Boatscouk 2 роки тому

Yes it was a falling tide 😂

@DavidWilliams-bg5yk 11 місяців тому

@alexjenkins5632 Рік тому

Love your videos. Are you planning of upgrading your camera from an iphone?

@Boatscouk Рік тому

I think about it - but (as you can tell) these videos are done on the hoof on location and I always have my phone 🤩

@Boatscouk 2 роки тому

Yes exact same place!

@Jack-ll7yv 2 роки тому

Love these boats, debating on one of these or the V48 for next season. Currently have targa 40

I know there used to be (it may still be there) a Corvette at your marina...not sure if it was a 32 or 320. Have you ever seen a Corvette 340 (the one with the full width rear cabin) or indeed had one for sale?

@Boatscouk 2 роки тому

Yes I think we have sold one. Pretty rare beasts 😎

@davidantill6949 2 роки тому

Presumably rare because, as a proportion of the purchase price, it must cost a lot to ship them in from the Far East. Shame the business and manufacturing left the UK 😞

Which is the better boat ,this or the Princess V47 in your opinion and why ? PS really like the colour of this one and how easy is it to retrofit the variable speed thrusters ?

@Boatscouk 2 роки тому

Good questions. I prefer v58 to v47/48 as this is shaft and v48 is IPs. Yes easy to fit variable speed thrusters 😊

@richmiller2501 2 роки тому

I gave it a like, as I like your videos. No bull shit. (ex; i hate these shower doors and they always break).. Honesty! Wife and i have been shopping for over a year once we were preapproved looking in the FL Market. we have seem to become picky (thats her not me). I found your Ch and said to her i bet he can find us a boat and will be honest to us.. we both love your videos. where you are away from OUR market place, if we were there, we would be working with you! Yeah your silly, but fun!!!

@Boatscouk 2 роки тому

Thanks Richard. In England our customers like to be told what’s good and what’s not. They don’t mind making compromises so long as they know what they are. I have seen some US vids and they do say everything is great - so maybe you have better boats ? I am glad you like the vids - we have such a laugh making them 🥳

@tomdunn1254 2 роки тому

Nice boat except for that huge sunbed which is a total waste of space. I would have preferred an extended roofline and an enlarged cockpit instead of the sunbed.

@Boatscouk 2 роки тому

It’s sunny in some places Tom 😂

@padbratuk 2 роки тому

Informative video, but the whites being blown out annoyed me. Need to improve video recording that’s all

The air vents are older than the that they're from old MG Rovers :)

@jonaus6171 Рік тому

Nice boat, two big problems for Mediterranean use - poxy small side windows do not allow sufficient freash air when swinging at anchor with the roof only open a small ammount to keep the cocckpit shaded. Similar cheap poxy side windows on the 2021 Targa 45 GT too! Again, to save cost, bought in telesccopic bathing ladder with no above platform handholds - just watch a middle aged 100 kilo owner try to use them. Fairline still need input from actual Boat Users!! Thanks for the video. Captain Jon

@Boatscouk Рік тому

Hi Jon - we can fit customised parts to solve both issues 😊

@premierproductionsliverpoo362 Рік тому

Why don’t you do any reviews on smaller boats for example, 28 foot/36 foot and everything in between? We can’t all afford these big boys.

@Boatscouk Рік тому

Yes will try to do more - I have done some smaller boats

@cjmac8233 2 роки тому

GBP300k is a pretty competitive price for this size of boat no ?

Luv the way Brits call a grill a bbq 🤣🤣🤣

@Boatscouk 2 роки тому

I can call it a grill for you Chelle 🥳

@darthkek1953 2 роки тому

Ironically, both grill and barbeque mean the same thing... a wooden frame of sticks on which meat is cooked, both terms are valid, one originated in French via Latin, the other originated in Spanish via Arawakan.

@chicohunt1206 2 роки тому

So?!

@darthkek1953 2 роки тому

... if you like the idea of boating but can't afford it you can volunteer as crew. People especially older owners can sometimes really do with a hand. Yachting clubs around the country have adverts and you can offer your services. If you do well and end up working overseas (>6 months/year means no income tax) in the tip-rich charter market you'll end up being able to afford a small boat in fewer seasons than you might think. There's plenty of money in the world if you really want to get some of it.

James Question! What is the largest boat that can be safely operated without having to employ a driver? How much training would a person with only basic knowledge of sailing need to feel confident and safe? Cheers James Delmonte
