Why are all troller style boats of any size have a wall of screens blocking the view? I like the screens but they need to be integrated better and two helm seats would be an improvement. I do like most everything else on this very nice yatch.

Dane Silzle - 5 years ago

Ouch,
How much did they pay to get this ship on the market?
A sad Nordhaven rip-off I would give it a 1 out of 20 compared (1) because it floats.
Nordhaven engine room even in there 40 and 50 foot range have stand up room...
And as a online yachting review you need professional video production
the audio is terrible

Ambrose Edilla - 5 years ago

Way overpriced, terrible layout. Like the hull, I’m sure that you guys are not responsible for this mess, were you following the boat owner wish list? I would be embarrassed to be seen in this trawler.

mike force - 5 years ago

"two enormous screens...". really? you couldn't bother to measure for a vid?

mike force - 5 years ago

from dictionary, for ease: "privateer = an armed ship owned and officered by private individuals holding a government commission and authorized for use in war, especially in the capture of enemy merchant shipping.". If this were an armed ship, running about fighting off criminals, i'd say "AWESOME!!!".

Very POOR Design. 1.75million, paying that price you want a #1) A Stand-Up Engine compartment! #2) Much more room in the bedrooms #3) More storage in the bedrooms...I could go on, but here is where you fail....You have to compare to Nordhavn and you do NOT!... Why would I buy your poorly designed boat, even when the person doing the Sale on Video here is apologizing for the screw-ups that you have made.... Good Gawd FIRE the Design Team!

The Privileged White Guy - 5 years ago

Compared to a Nordhavn this M/Y scores 3 out of 10.
1 because it floats.
2 because it...
3 opps

paying 1.7million and still need to customize it yourself..... wth?

Karsten Boye Nielsen - 5 years ago

This is a “try again” boat. No hangers in the cabins and no handrails, just to mention two problems.

I love these boats. But , I must say, the accommodations on this boat are abysmal. That horn on the upper helm looks like some kind of musket ready to blast someone's head off. Sheesh.

Jan Hollon - 6 years ago

So for @$7Million USD. I will need to get back into the NASDAQ to make more profits. Will be in touch is 8 months.

The people owning these items will ultimately be entombed in them.

cornskid - 6 years ago

It'll be nicer than my tomb that's for sure.

captmoa - 6 years ago

The horn is in a bad location if you're working from the fly bridge.

eltsen nestle - 6 years ago

Not a well thought out boat.

brett run - 7 years ago

So....no helm seat upstairs for 1.75 Euro? Also, no handrail on the stairs to the fly bridge and the air horn is located just behind the upper helm drivers head. Doesn’t seem like a well thought out boat to me.

Richard Bedard - 7 years ago

what if you need access to the engine room during a storm?

David Blalock - 7 years ago

I'm glad the boat i'm looking at has 12500 gal fuel capacity, enough fuel for navigate from Astoria OR to Dubai UAE, and many, many points in between. I'm planning to refit her with a hybrid diesel-hydraulic-electric drive system with a controllable pitch propeller. That way, no mater what, the system is operating at peek efficiency, making the best use of the fuel at all time.

The Battery banks are large enough that I'll have many hours of silent cruising, or weeks of operation of the hotel systems without running the engines.

Felipe Bustamante - 6 years ago

If you don't mind me asking, how big and what kind of boat?

John Riso - 7 years ago

CaptainArt777 - 7 years ago

Way to small for me.

cfolman - 7 years ago

3000 liter diesel tank - and 3000 mile range???? Thats one liter per mile - pretty impressive from a boat this size :)

John Canalese - 7 years ago

i believe he said it was a 6000 litre fuel capacity for 3000 Nm range so, if cruise is 8 knots that's 16 l/hr or about 4.2 (US) G/hr which seems rather good for this size of vessel.

General Malaise - 7 years ago

The horn is positioned directly behind your head....

Felipe Bustamante - 6 years ago

Yeah ..I saw that. That toupee won't last your first time leaving the dock.

Alex P - 7 years ago

Engine room sucks for a boat this size.

Erik Luyten - 8 years ago

why could you not add sails to a trawler two boats in one

Bob Cookston - 8 years ago

it's too heavy

Erik Luyten - 8 years ago

why not thing have to go green

Doctortomsvideos - 8 years ago

I dont like the inside helm it seems to obstruct vision.. But is suspect with a word or two that could be customized. I do like the over size and shape of the ship. It is not unnecessary high out of the water making it unstable. It looks blue water !

Ron77A - 11 years ago

No, actually the "bow" is a little higher that the stern.And when she's moving foward the bow will come up considerably.

mike force - 5 years ago

it is a displacement hull, so no, the bow will NOT rise considerably, if at all.

ririshow - 11 years ago

Can you confirm that the company is back in business?

Tjerk Riemers - 11 years ago

Actually they are building the new Trawler 65! Classic design with full modern interior, Privateer is making progress! Love the designs, keep on going Privateer

arron mitchell - 11 years ago

Happy New year Privateer

G.V. Moutafis - 11 years ago

it realy is a lake boat

G.V. Moutafis - 11 years ago

some mothers do have them

ririshow - 11 years ago

is the company still afloat? I was of the impression that they went under.

mike force - 5 years ago

no. they build boats on land. if it went under, it would be very difficult to build a boat anyone would want...

Peter fisherman - 12 years ago

Eur 1.75 MIO ex TAX ! > Nice mooring gear but the hole for the lines not protected. Bye bye paint / No table in generous cockpit / No manual override in engine room acces (RIP) / You can cross the atlantic but you have to stand up doing it / If you want to eat something make sure weather is great / navigation equipment blocking half the window. / 60 ft yacht only accomodating 5 people / Are there actually people spending this money for this ?

RSBSTEADICAM - 12 years ago

I agree and could go on and on. For instance (and just staying on your topic) just imagine just what the "kick/riser" of those stairs will look like in short order since they have left naked fiberglass to absorb the toe of every run up the stairs! The hull shape is great I just wish these guys would bring in a design firm such as the Japanese use with their cars. Ultimately it really does come down to the details!

dezzie50 - 12 years ago

Thanks for your comment! I've worked in Holland building boats for the last 10 years and I'm still amazed at how small simple things can be over-looked! Even in such a rich nautical history filled country such as Holland! They do build great boats here though allowing for the one or two misplaced instruments!!!!

RSBSTEADICAM - 12 years ago

Good call there. I noticed that one too but after seeing all the other design... flaws I just kinda ignored this one! Don't designers ever talk to people!?

jedslather - 12 years ago

True but I do agree with your statement regrading the design :-) and due to the fact that the price is in Euros doesn't make it any better.

RSBSTEADICAM - 12 years ago

Well with all due respect all "content" aspects to consider when dealing in a worldwide media though you even point out one immediate deficiency of hand rails in one area!

jedslather - 12 years ago

EUROS :-) not dollars.

RSBSTEADICAM - 12 years ago

Fair video though he talks a lot and actually shows little, but what a simply astounding lack of design and value for a 1.5 million dollar vessel!

dezzie50 - 12 years ago

01:43 wouldn't want to sound the horn while standing there!

Alejandro ordnajela - 12 years ago

not bad right? lol

Mack McD - 12 years ago

so about 1.89 mpg... wow...

Gary Gazzier - 12 years ago

Like hull style not looks house or wheel house style from looks

newsnetuk - 12 years ago

Hmmm ... wonder what happens to that engine-room access if the electrics blow? I thought the throttle controls looked too small. The skipper needs to manipulate the joystick from a position he can see the sides of the boat. Was the interior panelling supplied by MFI? We never saw what close-quarters manouevering is like . And what happens when that lowerable electric table chops your dinner guests off at the knees?

Halcyon Yachts - International Yacht Delivery - 12 years ago

We have delivered a few Privateers. They are extremely nice boats, high quality finish and solidly built. Have a look at our channel to see some videos of our deliveries...

GINGERDAVID90 - 12 years ago

ive been on one of these privateer 60 vessels there pretty amazing same price as a small sun seaker but more range i would rather have this then a seaker as they only do 250 miles per tank
