The BEST Mini Aluminum EXPEDITION SHIP There Is [#shorts Tour]

I cannot understand how they can build an "expedition" yacht with the superb build quality and robust design that this boat has but put twin, unprotected spade rudders on it. I know that Garcia says those rudders are designed to get damaged in the event they collide with something, but wouldn't it make a lot more sense to have a single rudder with a well built skeg to virtually eliminate the chances of the rudder ever colliding with anything in the first place?

No thanks, I'd rather have a Kraken, or any 25+ year old boat with a skeg hung rudder.

Fabriqué en FRANCE... !!

This sailboat has a great design, aluminum hull, two helms in a spacious cockpit, outdoor dining area, teak sole, hard-covered entry, indoor nav station, salon visibility, and two cabins with two heads. 3/4 million $ means its price per square foot is extremely high. I prefer an aft main cabin in a sailboat (or even a powerboat). But an aft main cabin is hard to do in a small 45' boat with an aft cockpit. 45' boats are great for weekend boating but cramped for a go-anywhere boat. A 60-footer with the same design would be an ideal go-anywhere boat and command 3/4 million dollars (or more). I'd also want a hard cockpit cover installed with solar panels, a bigger battery bank, and engine access.

Your not kidding engine access! What access? Looks like they use engine for ballast otherwise like you said nice set up probably $700K

A Cessna 206 is a single engine, 6 seater, retractable landing gear with air conditioning and decent avionics… 800k$. I’d say that sailboat is worth it

Wow, you would think for $750,000 and being 45 ft long the owners had would have a dedicated shower. If I was purchasing this boat that would probably be a deal-breaker for me. I mean there's no doubt about it it's a gorgeous boat and being aluminum hull makes it over-the-top for me however if you're spending that kind of money on a boat and you are taking your family and Friends I'm pretty sure your partner or wife is going to want a dedicated shower in his or her main owner's stateroom. Just my opinion

Bet it's got a thin fin keel and tiny spade rudder. Just ready to rip a hole in the hull when you strike something.

Want to scare an AL boat owner? Show them a coin.

Not a single description of the sailplan, rig, or any deck hardware at all for that matter! Its a sailboat not a condo 😆

For that kind of money, I would like my outside helm station even further back. Maybe on a raft that is towed behind the boat.

Kraken makes the best boat

Stupid price; !!!

Yes, worth every penny👍❤️

Overpriced, and that lack of engine access is a non-starter for me. (Undersized anchor too, for a “expedition boat” but that’s easy to change).

I dream to ride on such a beauty

Love it, wish I could have one, but I can’t living on SSDI

No

The Yacht industry really has made the word "Expedition" meaningless, haven't they?

The captain can just order the crew to adjust the sails while he stays in the deck salon so he can get it done from the salon no problem.

No!! Out dated..

Yes your right, and this is an actual yacht, unlike the fancy motorboats that fools call yachts .

They could charge double that and it would still be worth it.

Short answer is No, it's not worth 3/4 of a million. A Lamborghini is not worth 1/2 a million. Do people pay those prices? Sure, but the two are it is still nothing more that a 45' yacht and a stupid fast car.

Very good perfect sailboat Go out to sea away for few days having Nicely cups of cappuccino with cream ohhhh yeahhhh

Would they take three fiddy?

Aluminum in salt for 750k. Yeah I’ll pass

“Any weather” SUUUUUUUURE, the titanic was unsinkable too.

Terrible camera work. Sorry, not allowing us to view it.

I don't have 750k.
I'm such a loser
I'm gonna go kill myself now.

I like the slaves quarters, mine has to sleep on deck.

No sailor 'adjusts' their sails. Bloody fair weather champagne passenger. Sails are trimmed. Yachts are NEVER comfortable beating to windward in a decent breeze. The most important feature of a yacht is its seaworthiness, not pretty interior. More interested in seeing what it looks like below the waterline/keelshape.

no its not. boats are grossly overpriced floating RV's. master bath is a wet head? half million dollars it should have a real shower

Clean fix polish. Polish clean fix. Fix clean polish. Polish fix clean. Repeat over and over and over. You can have these damn scows. I've spent my life with them and on them, 50 years, I'll never step foot aboard another damn boat.

Not my style, but I guess if you have a spare six digits it's probably pretty nice.

Junk.....I have a Rapido 60 trimaran and I love it.

Nothing equaling or under 45 is worth this much

Would need to redesign a way to access the engine better.

For 3/4 of a mil. the words "wet head" shouldn't be in the boat's specs. And you should be able to adjust the sails from the nav station. Hell no, not worth it.

My absolute favorite sailboat of all time

Poor engine access indicates poor planning and design so who knows what else! A deal breaker for me.

Anywhere any
Rael conditions express ride to DAVIE JONES LOCKER conditions OMG

Anyone ever tell u that u r a moron

Let me check my small change . . . .

Awesome boat, I want one, but I'm poor and bitter, so I hate it.

"Mini"???

No boat is worth over 100,000.

What a ripoff.

You can buy a bigger wooden schooner from back in the 1800s and early 1900s for the same price

Not to me
