  • Unreal. I wouldn’t own a house if I could afford this. Just cruise year round, see the entire world, take breaks in 5* hotels now and then. My god it’s perfect
  • @kollinteam1598
    Looked through the beginning of the video; that day head is more important for we seniors than you may realize
  • @gregzoller9003
    Love to see this. Was sad when Dashew retired and there would be no more FPB’s, but this continues, and arguably improves, that tradition of go-anywhere yacht
  • @Meatbalzz
    One word to describe this magnificent boat: Solid!
  • Well, I don’t know much about boats… or by any means yachts. But damnnnn, I would love to not just own that, but spend the next five years learning how to operate, maintain and repair everything on board. Having said the obvious, I can honestly say the craftsmanship I saw from just the video is amazing( union Pipefitter/plumber here). Well done! Now, if any of you Uber rich need someone to learn, run, maintain this amazing yacht in case shtf happens. Feel free to reach out. ( I know a thing or two about survival) lol. Well presented video, well thought out product, but more importantly this yacht is a showcase for long term survival and or exploration. And quite honestly at 10-15 million a steal at that price… again great video and thanks for showing us!
  • @nickglossop
    Very utilitarian, that’s a compliment in my opinion. It’s designed to do a job and it does it well.
  • @ER-qx5gg
    Now this is a proper long range cruiser. Great boat!
  • @Mercury0369
    If money is no problem for the owner then it should be a winner !
  • @NothingMaster
    A great long-range expedition yacht. The newer version, with the more advanced features and equipment, must be absolutely spectacular.
  • @ssgill
    On the sea, and explorer is what is needed... not a showoff vessel .. need one like this. absolutely one like this.
  • @nicbennett6554
    Great tour of a very impressive yacht. Thanks Hugo. It’s not the first tour I’ve seen of this boat, but it’s so impressive it’s worth another watch from a different perspective.
  • @vanPoll
    It's just magnificent. It doesn't limit you.
  • @ironichumorist
    glad to see someone is carrying the Dashew legacy forward and it is a delight that it is made in the UK.
  • @dobeman001
    Thank you, Hugo. Very well done and very informative tour of this outstanding yacht.
  • Wow! What a boat. Very well thought out and developed. You did an excellent job describing a very complex machine.
  • @SMac86
    Fantastic. It seems like a boat that people of all sizes could enjoy and be comfortable in. So well thought out and accessible, I didn't see a single feature not to like.
  • @timgriffin2664
    Was lucky to spend a day sea trialing this beauty Very nice motion we had a F6
  • @deasun78
