RARE Opportunity: €449k Aluminium Explorer Yacht!

There's a lot to love about this coastal explorer! Especially if you love boats that resemble rugged offshore vessels like pilot boats.

Absolute stunner, definitely live on that Dutch beauty all summer great vlog thanks.

Interesting boat, a pilothouse door for captain would be great, especially with the nice wide side decks, and extended aft hardtop instead of canvas, however it does have a co-pilot seating for help navigating, while most new boats neglect that important feature

A really lovely looking craft and layout, certainly would make my wish list. Dimensions and style are just about my ideal size and look I would be searching for and is right up my gangway. I like that I caught your other live stream, some weeks ago and so think this should be continued with. People just need to know when it is going to happen, as a regular spot, or as more one offs and irregular.

For that range in a 49, at 20kn, that's a crazy amount of distance. So if you knock back to 8kn for distance cruising, you'd be pushing what, around 1000+nm on full tanks?

The cabin layout is unique, would probably convert at least one of the unused cabins to a pantry and/or laundry space (probably that double off the day head) for longer term cruising.

Salty enough on the outside for sure, and the helm would grow on me. But the layout is a bit weird to me. Portside cabin is one skull fracture after another. Virtually no storage in the galley (although it seems ample elsewhere)... and for all the skylights there still doesn't seem to be enough natural light below deck. And for 500k US there really shouldn't be any watermarks on the woodwork (10:07). But, that said, as always it's a great video and a great tour! Thank you!

Thanks for a tour of an interesting yacht. Nice looking, sounds as if it has good performance. Accommodation quite quirky, with three cramped staterooms plus a decent owner stateroom forward. Might be better off combining the two aft staterooms into one spacious stateroom. The helm is different, with most of the instrumentation off to starboard of the helm. Wish there could be a window/door next to the helm for access to the side deck for shorthanded docking.

What a sweet Boat!!! Jeez if I'd have had the sense to buy a boat like this when I was much younger, I or We might still be living on it today!! I think the layout is a Fantastic use of space, you could run all around the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Canada you could run different routes between Vancouver Island North to Alaska there are hundreds of inlets, Islands and Channels. She'd a perfect boat for that kind of cruising, rugged and reliable! Nice one John!!!

Not a fan of low ceilings above the beds in these cabins, but she's a beauty❣

Love it I’d have it in a heartbeat. Thanks. Great tour.

[dlfendel]

When you tell us a mast can be lowered, would you please tell us air draft both up and down? It is important not just for the canals of Europe but for the Great Loop for those of us in the USA. BEAUTIFUL boat indeed!

[curtbeardsley]

Absołutely beutifuł! If I had the money I would cruise on it any day. Even though cabins are pretty cozy, they łook very comfortable. Everyone would have to get along.

[clifbradley]

The stern reminds me of a sailboat. Very nice. I can see it as an ezplorer in either the north sea around the coasts, or Australia and Indonesia, maybe South America. Unfortunately you couldn't venture too far off the beaten path. You could skirt a lot of coast though.

[MrMmartin]

A very nice boat, with impressive utilization of space!

Would love a tour of the boat on the starboard side birth.❤

'There are only FOUR lights!'-Captain Jean Luc-Picard "Chain of Command". Little Star Trek geekiness for the day.

[kevinmcintyre]

Great looking exterior, well appointed galley, very nice finishing quality, but what a goofy set of staterooms. Skip the 2 closet-like bedrooms, and make a larger day head with proper shower, increase the size of the rear stateroom, and the galley. If you ever need more sleeping space, you can probably configure the dining table area on the main deck to convert into a bed. The fact that neither extra beds had mattresses, showed just how useless they are to the current owner.

[markbond]

Ugh. That first guest cabin has to be the culprit of a lot of cracked skulls. 😢

[jdray]

It looks great from the outside, and the salon is nice enough, but the rest of it seems kind of chopped up and weird.

[johnbarkley]

Wonderful boat. Another Good video mate. :)

[johnmcmillan]

Lovely boat but…where do you store the dinghy? I like the layout and the hull form but I don’t usually associate 20knt cruise with explorer yacht. This looks like a lovely weekender or summer cruiser. Not a live aboard extended cruiser. Still, for that use case I can see where many would like it. Not sure about the dinghy though…
