£50,000 Yacht Tour : 2005 Crownline 250CR

What’s great about Nick is that he brings the same enthusiasm to an entry-level boat as he does to superyachts. Thank you for your endless enthusiasm, which is infectious (the good kind). From a sailor who is now also an Aquaholic.

great to see also smaller boats. The mix of Yachts and Sportcruiser to watch is very nice

Regardles of whether I'll ever be able to afford a boat or not I just find your channel entertaining, informative and the boats are all stunning. A man can dream.

the more i watch Acquaholic the more my bank account starts to sweat

Great little boat. It has - as James May said about the Dacia Sandero - everything you need and nothing you don't. Another super video tour, Nick.

Thanks for showing an entry level boat. Perfect for people like me who are interested in getting into boating. Cheers.

We have the exact same boat but with a few more options. Typical of these types of boat is poor steering at low speed so last year we invested in a bow thruster which takes the stress out of docking in tight marinas. We recently did a run from Poole to Gosport, some 47 miles and it was great. The 210 Diesel is super strong and unlike the petrol versions the risks of fire are almost non existent. It's great to hear the Turbo spooling up under more throttle which is accompanied by a satisfying whistle. These are comfortable boats with reasonable see keeping. The Diesel option is fairly frugal so you are not always looking at the gauge plus the fuel is much cheaper than the petrol option. The build quality is excellent and Crownline haven't scrimped on cheap fittings, finish or furnishings. It's a design which ages extremely well and still looks fresh amongst more modern craft. Thanks Aquaholic for bringing this video to us and for doing a feature on a boat which many of us can afford.

This boat is an amazing value for money, I mean it's a steal, loved it, and this particularly one is also very well maintained 👌 We want more boats like this!! Keep the good work!!

That was just like a big boat, only smaller. What was really good is that it had a “real” toilet, none of that undignified “bucket’n’chuck it” malarkey.

Really appreciate the fact that you’re looking at smaller more affordable boats as well.

£38k is more of a dream boat than a starter boat to be honest. The reason I watch this channel is to keep dreaming !!

Great little boat. Reminds me of our first boat, a SeaRay240. Brilliant introduction to boating for our family - and the rest is history 😁 Thanks Nick 👍

THANKS for showing a fine boat at an entry level price. Its capabilities still offer fine value, sport and comfort.

Great Nick. Please consider a series of videos featuring boats in the various steps of cost, size and equipment benefits. No problem cut a pasting bits from some of your favourite boats featured in past videos. We all love your dream boat videos of millionaire style boats but it is great to also feature boats that more of might afford. Thanks for posting.

Nice, was not expecting a heads initially. Another inflatable kayak vid would be my affordable right now

So so good as always!!! You continue to show how affordable and practical it can be to get on the water and have great fun for the family as well as all the “Maggies” out there! I love the broad range of tours you do from small, affordable boats to the mega yachts! Thank you

Yes, exactly the kid of boat I am actually interested in, sleeps 3 com fortably, has a small galley and a heads, is trailerable (I would do river boating, so for the winter, trailering it into a warehouse is the best option) and the price makes it affordable.

I see you said it makes you happy to know people are starting the whole boat lifestyle because of your channel, so I’d like to also say, I’ve convinced my other half and we are also going to buy a boat, mainly because of your videos but also maybe 10 or 15% of it was NautiStyles! Excited beyond belief! :)

Its lunch time, what better way than to spend it with a cuppa watching another exciting episode with our good friend Nick
