What a lovely idea for a video series! I look forward to following along. Thanks to SETAG for seeing value in Our Man in Havana, so to speak. Cheers, old boy.

I’m 21 years old and I use your videos as motivation. Seeing what is possible in life really makes me want to achieve great things. Thank you for making these videos. No one does it better

The gentleman from Setag seems a nice chap, such a good vibe about him. You just know this project will go well. Great stuff!

[gordonsimpson]

Lovely boat.
TBH, I wouldn't do a thing to it (only replacing anything broken), it is perfect as it is....even the carpets look great. But we are all different, and I don't want to take anything away from Setag, who do remarkable work. If it is what the owner wants....all power to his elbow.

[africanpagan]

wow, I like that SETAG helped the owner from finding the boat to refit and everything in between, thats service. Really cool.

EVERY SINGLE SETAG boat I've seen has been absolutely stunning! Can't wait to see the progress of this one!!

[darrylalford]

OMG, this is fascinating ! No offense Nick, but this is like a soap opera cliffhanger, can't wait for the next episode ! Thank you Nick and ALL involved !

[kevindawson]

Great insight to this refit Nick, I am so excited that it is my company that will be involved with the AV part of this Yacht, as Chris mentioned a few times, Bang & Olufsen will be very much part of the design, the last time we did B&O on a Princess it was on the Princess 40M, I can't wait to see the finished result, and to be able do some demonstrations of the incredible sound system, both interior and exterior at Southampton in September.

Project Sunseeker was some of my favourite content on this channel. Can't wait to see how this unfolds!

I love all your videos and especially the SETAG and meet the owner series. I'm really looking forward to seeing this one as it progresses. The idea of buying used then refit to new or above new standards while saving a tremendous amount of money is a very smart choice. We need a SETAG here in the USA. They really stand apart from others.

Hi Nick, this has all the hallmarks of being one of your most interesting reviews so far, really looking forward to the followups.

[TexanUSMC]

You can tell he's proud of the work his company will do to this boat and of what it will become when they're finished. It would be fun to spend a day with him on a boat. I can only imagine asking this man a question like...what can I do to this boat to make it the nicest it can be. Then we just explore possibilities.

[james]

Look forward to seeing this one progress!

[johningham]

It's always a real pleasure to and hear Chris Gates talking talking through one of his largest refitting projects, I cannot wait to see the finished creation. I've followed Chris Gates career from when he was CEO at Princess Yachts to running this his own business 'Setag Yachts' (gates spelled backwards) now. I was also lucky to meet Chris at the second to last London Boat Show at the Excel Centre, at the Princess Yachts after show party and still have the photograph taken with him standing proudly on my living room wall. A real gentleman who loves and cares about what he does and the vision of what he has achieved is brilliant!

[jaimiemadden]

This is a great boat to start with and I cannot wait to see what Chris and his crew do for its owner.

These upgrade videos are very informative and they are much appreciated, thank you
Nick

[tonybazz]

Nice solid, roomy yacht brought back into better than new condition. Can’t wait to see the finished product compared to the old photos. Great content Nick!

[wombatsyoutube]

Going to be a great series of videos this. And a great in sight into what goes into a refit of this scale.

[tonydavey]

I shall be following this project with great interest. Looking forward to seeing how the refit unfolds; I love seeing bespoke craftwork in action. Setag give the feeling of absolute perfection in what they are about, with the added value of finding your boat of choice, to give you the boat of your dream become reality.
Nice one Nick

[mmsmits]

Thanks for sharing this! I expected it to be 7 figures, but honestly thought the first number would be at least a 2. What a fantastic alternative to buying new. You can't change the lines, but you can change everything else, making it a "new-ish" boat for so much less. Looking forward to what they're doing!

[andrewnewton]

What a really nice guy Chris is. You can hear the passion for the work his company does when he talks. If the Hull is suitable then what a way to get the boat you really want rather than just a boat! I do wonder when they will take a leaf out of the motorhome book and use the electric lift beds in the guest cabins! You could then have a multi use room which on smaller boats would be a win. I am really looking forward to seeing this develop.
