The BIGGEST Small Boat I've EVER Been Aboard [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

Like all Ranger Tugs, the R-31 comes turn-key with standard features and equipment intended to make her owner's experience hassle-free, and allow for ease of handling and comfort underway.

Standard equipment includes bow thrusters, stern thrusters, and a Volvo D4 300hp engine that achieves a 16 knot cruise speed.

The interior layout of the R-31 features two staterooms, one large island berth forward with en-suite head and a midship berth and day head. Those who are familiar with Ranger Tugs models will recognize the galley layout and lower helm station that maximize interior space. A starboard side door provides easy access from the lower helm to the side decks so crew can get to the bow for line handling.

Learning the Lines is a channel about us, an average couple in our 20's, with big dreams to be sailing the world by the time we're in our 30's. We're not afraid to jump into anything, put in the work, and learn as we go. We started out with Somnium, an O'day 272, moved onto Freebie, an Endeavour 32, and now are focusing on sailboat tours and working full time as teachers while we save up for our next boat.

Thank you for this well done video presentation! I purchased a new Ranger Tug R-31 Command Bridge in 2021 from Winter Island Yacht Yard in Salem Massachusetts. After the passing of my beloved wife I needed to downsize from my 43' trawler yacht but wanted a vessel with all the amenities my larger boat had. The R-32 CB checked off all of the boxes and than some. Although the base boat comes with an extensive list of standard features, I purchased the Luxury Edition with the generator, air conditioning, etc. Additionally, I opted for a Bimini top, roll-up enclosure for the aft deck to enable me to sit outside on inclement weather days, the dingy with Weaver quick release davits, and a third helm station in the aft cockpit. The Volvo D4 diesel in incredible, giving me fantastic fuel economy at displacement speeds but with the ability to reach 19 knots if need be. The boat has the most amazing use of space I have ever seen and is literally a 'Swiss Army Knife' of innovation and design. The standard bow and stern thrusters make docking a pleasure. Truly a great 'pocket yacht' that attracts tons of attention everywhere you go!

Wow, interesting how it all works and compact. The fold out seats are brilliant!!

Nice tug ! Lots of nice features for a 31 footer and the teak is a nice touch 👍.

[josephmythen]

Looks beautifully cared for, congrat's to the owners for taking such good care of the vessel.

Great boat for Lake Erie and the Islands, has decent range from Port Clinton to cruise the Great Lakes.

[jerrykroskie]

that is truly one of the boats that designed by salesmen from the inside out I think it looks lie a swiss army knife with all the blades out looks like a great dock boat that never sees action just a thought

[davidkilgore]

I pick these up and deliver all over the U.S., they make them around the Seattle area, nice boats. You need to find a 41ft and check it out

I’ve enjoyed watching your videos for years, but you’re missing things. The seat that folds up facing forward port side of the helm, open the fridges, was that an ice maker, how does that small berth close up for privacy, demonstrate the cockpit built in side seats. Otherwise, you did a good job and you have the voice to be a radio DJ, at midnight, for a cool jazz station. Look forward to the next video.

Love these boats. I think people confuse these with Nordhavns - so no these are not blue water boats. That said Nordhavn only made 2 boats that could do the Loop. The 59 Coastal Crusier - and that one squeaks by, and the new 41 - which costs like a million dollars.

[JimDog]

This would be great for cruising the Chesapeake Bay! Vacation home on the water. Nice.

[daviddumaresq]

Nice to see you demonstrating the raycon headsets in NS.

[stevenbatley]

In the UK half of the boats value would be Taxes not good but beauty on the water❤

The dinette does convert into a berth as well, yes? Does this boat have AC? Great posting, as usual Sir.

[thecocktailian]

Fantastic little day fisher or overnighter. Price seems steep though.

[tuberNunya]

Not so much as a minute on engine access. But the range is too short to be interesting anyway.

[vdujbbk]

на кругосветку потянет или только прибрежное плавание ??

[MetismanInBC]

Rockstar? Rockstar? Do you know what it takes to be a Rockstar? Lol!

[prophetseven]

Ya, they are cool for their size but their cost is extremely high!~

[steveedlund]

How would this boat do on open waters, like going from Marathon FL to the Bahamas, Key West and Ft. Jefferson?
Love your channel.

[westpearson]

Are the hatches on the flybridge safe to step on?
