Today, I'm thrilled to reunite with my friends on board the 'Scintilla Maris', a remarkable 46-meter, 499GT hybrid propulsion expedition yacht. 

Originally launched as a robust North Atlantic fishing trawler by Damen Maaskant Shipyards in Holland in 1989, she was one of the last in a series of eight that symbolised the pinnacle of powerful, sturdy, and seaworthy fishing vessels. 

In 2023, the same yard relaunched her after a comprehensive rebuild that preserved only her steel hull, transforming her into an 'Eco-Explorer' that combines comfort with style. 

Now a RINA-classed Commercial Yacht with a Green Plus Notation and Polar Code compliance, she’s ready to go anywhere.

Having created two videos about this beauty—one during the final phase of her rebuild and another during a mini sea trial—I feel intimately connected to her epic transformation. These videos have now amassed nearly 700,000 views (link in comments).

It's a joy to have her docked in my home city of London, and I can't wait to step aboard once more! 

We have just hit 60,000 subscribers! A HUGE 'thank you' to each and every one of you who has subscribed to my channel. I genuinely appreciate the support! 

If you are looking for a bespoke explorer yacht that has enough cargo space for your Harley Davidson(s) PLUS months of dry storage provisions, then M/Y Sirius is a boat that will not just meet your needs, but exceed them! 



She has an LOA of 25.8 metres, a draft of 1.6 metres and a beam of 6.6 metres. 



My friends at De Valk Yacht Brokers were kind enough to let me jump on board this unique boat to shoot some footage and I am pleased to say that the yacht tour video will be uploaded to my channel this Friday! 

⛵️🌟 Next week, join me aboard the majestic ELTON — a 31.7m beauty crafted by Windship and Trident. 

Designed by the renowned Bill Tripp with interiors by the illustrious Donald Starkey, ELTON offers a sumptuous experience for her guests. 

Get ready to explore her teak decks and exquisite GRP hull on my YouTube channel's very first sailing yacht feature! Stay tuned! 

Battled gnarly winds and rain yesterday to film THREE incredible boats – including the first LRC65, M/Y 'Sirius', and a fascinating Damen explorer yacht!  Videos dropping soon on my channel. Which video do you want to see first? 

Also confirmed for tomorrow, I'm going to be filming this magnificent vessel! 🚤 Can you guess which boat this is? Hint: It's as adept at crossing oceans as it is cruising through coastal waters. Drop your guesses below! 🌊 

Some exciting news! 

I am gearing up for an exclusive yacht tour video aboard the impressive Sirius Explorer 85. This expedition vessel is a marvel of Dutch engineering, designed to comfortably navigate all oceans.

I will be filming three boats tomorrow. One is a Trader 41+2, another is a Lochin 33, and the third is a Dunkirk 'Little Ship' called 'Gerfalcon' that was one of 700 vessels that were sent to Dunkirk for Operation Dynamo during WWII. Which one are you most excited to see:
