Thanks Nick . I just watched the video for the first time - I am so rude - so sorry - I forgot I started asking you questions 😂 lol . I have just read some comments and it seems that there is appetite for more of these ( I am always happy to talk boat stuff) and more importantly the family Fletcher! I better go and dust it off ! Thanks again - loved chatting to you and glad that everyone enjoys the chit chat. 😊 regards James 😜

It was a real pleasure James, always great to catch up with you! 🙂
@julesforsyth2996 2 роки тому
James, I think Nick was very happy to be asked questions and I think the whole conversation was brilliant. Both so obviously love boating and the video couldn't have gone better.

That was a lovely chat Nick, felt like we were just sat opposite you. A great guy who knows is market and loves the business, Loved the way he turned the tables and quizzed you. His business has a big turnover but he seems really down to earth, more videos like this would be great. Many thanks Nick.

A great chat with two blokes I could happily spend a couple of hours with in the pub. I would be more than happy if you did a used/new update with James 3 or 4 times a year, and a regular chat with other traders like him. Thoroughly enjoying the channel Nick, thank you.

@peterjohnclayton 2 роки тому
Everyone mentions Cannes, Nice, Monaco and St. Tropez, but rarely Port Grimaud, the best of them all. Built specifically for people with boats and neighbour to all the famous places. The Venice of France and without the vulgarity of the neighbours. Amazing base, visit the rest for fun, stay in the nicest, classiest place. Houses are sensational and nowhere near the price of the rest who are minutes away. Lovely film as per usual Nick.

Port Grimaud is beautiful. It features in one of my videos, search 'AQUAHOLIC Goldfish'

I had a fletcher black max 150 with matching trailer and panther graphics in black and green. Moored at Sparks marina in Hayling Island and had the best time on it, memories for life. Sold it for a Sealine Ambassador 33ft, worst decision I’ve ever made! Great interview.

What a great guy, He is really quite personable , and comes across as someone who loves what he does, has a passion for boating and will treat you right. Unfortunately I'm in Colorado, a little outside his market area. Once again, well done. Really enjoyed this one. Thank you. Take care.

Both you and James have been my inspiration and guidance in getting into boating. Since moving to Palma last year I’ve watched your videos and now done my RYA powerboat 2, joined Rib club to get me on the water this year and also charted James’s B4 Princess for June. The next step will be my own boat! Although I’ll need to save for the Riva I desire! Thanks to you both.

Have a great weekend.

He always comes across as a straight-up guy (and natural comedian).

@aleccoe2819 2 роки тому
In one word, BRILLIANT. In a few sentences, I didn't realise the passion I thought I was the minority as a lot of boat people are like ' my boat is more expensive' and stuff like that. I've had quite a few boats over the years, cheap but fun. I actually live on a 91 Princess Riviera 36 and have done for over 7 years. Best thing I've ever done. Live aboard and go out to sea any time I fancy. Cheers Nick, more please.
