Aquaholic’s trademark move is opening lockers. Could you even guess how many in five years? Keep up the good work ?
What’s your worst/scariest boating related incident?
... and the best?

When I was looking for a boat, the Jeanneau 805 Leader was such a clear winner that I eventually stopped looking for anything else and just looked at 805 Leaders. But the Bavaria 28 Sport probably came closest as it also has a wide beam.
No I don't. Bareboat motorboat charter is a bit risky in the UK, I don't know anyone who does it.
For me, sportscruiser every time as I like the feeling of speed you get from being close to the water, it's more sheltered than a flybridge and the cockpit is bigger/better. But maybe if I had a boat in the Med where it's hotter and I wanted better accommodation I'd go flybridge.
1. Given the worldwide pandemic, do you see the market (long and/or short term) demand for super yachts i) stagnating, ii) decreasing, iii) increasing ?

Thanks Nick, the Mrs liked your answer as she prefers flyrbidge from aesthetics alone!!
Noted on the leader - thanks.
Re charter, why is it seen as so risky in the UK? So accessible overseas, but difficult here.
Hey Nick. Ian here, from Ontario Canada(Bob Uncle) on YouTube.
I think I started following just before you reached 100k subs. Well done on the 1/4 million.
What would you say is the biggest advantage of the growth of your channel? Also, would you say there are any drawbacks? Does you notoriety get in the way of doing your tours efficiently?
Do you think that motor boating will become more socially unacceptable in the future? #Greta
With inshore waters becoming more and more crowded, and a growing tendency for the 'first boat' to become bigger and faster, is it time for MCA to insist on formal qualifications and insurance ?
Sunseeker, fairline, princess...
Pick one ??
Uncertain weather is the main reason. People are happy to book a charter in the Med knowing that next week/next month the weather is likely to be good. You just can't do that here. Then there are things like tides which are much more relevant. It's just a more hostile environment if you don't know what you're doing, and a very hard one to plan if you do.
Hi Nick,
I noticed on your recent Q&A that your wife is Irish. Do you have any plans to do some cruising on the Irish coast or Inland Waterways?
Also, have you ever thought (or dreamt) of taking time out to do a big cruise? If so, where would you go and what boat would you take?
Other than the 805, I’m also eyeing up the next size down, in the 6.5-7.5 range small cuddy type E.g Cap Camarat. Anything good value and economical worth keeping an eye out for? Sailed most of my life but want to move into motor boating for ease with the family. Any thoughts welcomed!
