Every month we bring you at least one Affordable Liveaboard Yacht Tour. Today we are on board of rare Italian Build Beauty - 2001 VZ 56 FLY Motor Yacht. She has a LOT of volume for her size (actually as we chatted with the lovely owners she has an LOA of 65', but her paperwork says 56' 🙈🤷♀️... so it will be advantageous in many ways). Some of my personal fav features include a spacious cockpit, huge flybridge, a great home office option, dual helm, fab Owner's cabin and it even had amazing crew quarters! And Rico loved the engine room as well. This Motoryacht would make a perfect Liveaboard or a Condo on the water for the lucky new owners! So, if CanNOT afford to buy a house in MIAMI? You Can Live aboard this!
She is currently listed for sale for $385,000. Enjoy the Tour!
😜 Let me know what you guys think of this one in the comments
From the start, we have decided to keep our independence & integrity, so we do not accept payments for Yacht Tours and do not "work for hire", this way we can choose and only Tour the vessels we find interesting for our audience. We are here to have FUN while checking out the coolest Yachts on the market and not taking ourselves too seriously!

What about the fact that no marinas will allow live-aboards? I've spoken to every marina in South Florida. What do you do about that?
@@stanleymasterson1135 Buy/build your own Marina, and make different rules???
Find a small or struggling marina, and buy controlling shares or buy it completely. You can allow or encourage liveaboards !
Be warned people. As a long time captain and owner of a 42' classic yacht I can tell you with confidence that yachts are not floating efficiency apartments, especially if you are on the saltwater. Stuff wears out and breaks just sitting there. It is a harsh environment with a ton more DAILY maintenance than a home. Personally, I love yacht ownership even though I keep it at a dock in back of the house. But I know how much work they are and I know that as you get older you might not be so keen on doing everything it takes to keep your yacht running properly, if at all. And remember, if rough weather hits then it is a whole 'nother level. You have to be an active captain on a yacht or it will eat you alive. So doing it because you think it is the low cost solution might not be good advice. But doing it because you love being on the water and are willing, knowledgeable enough and physically capable to do more maintenance then yeah, why not?
You spoke to my EXACT THOUGHTS. I for sure could afford this vessel. But I’ve got a few ailments like a bad back and several bad disks in my neck. I worked in heavy industrial as a career directing and planning maintenance for a refinery . Those onboard systems are not to bad to work with “ for a healthy individual “. Unless the owner can do the work him/herself maintenance will be very high. I hate paying people to do things I can do but I find I am doing this more and more😢. What a great layout and superb use of space.
all valid points but I think the purpose of these videos is to expand the average person's thinking and get them involved in something besides Bingo....and to increase views, likes, and reach from a marketing perspective...which of course they have achieved....:-)
So what would be a reasonable budget for upkeep for a boat like this if easy stuff is done by the owner? $1000/month?
Love it
Very informative
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate these affordable videos. I am working towards retirement live aboard, and multi million dollar yachts are not happening, but all these under 500k ones you do help me stay focused on my goal!
awwww thank you sooo much
thank you great show
Adding the cost of yearly maintenance, monthly hull cleaning, higher boat insurance in FL, monthly utilities, and slip fees, you can probably afford payments on a 1M condo. And that’s not factoring in any fuel costs.
According to many experts I consulted with, the average yearly maintenance fees, over the span of 10 years, are ~10% of the value. For this yacht, it comes to $38,500 each year, for repair this, repair that. This does not include insurance, utilities, fuel. This means over $3000 each and every month. Add $1000 for utilities, insurance and fuel. For the family of 4 preparing food on yacht, probably min. $3000. The monthly total, over the span of 10 years and in today's dollars, to really live on this yacht: $4000 + $3000 = $7000. Good luck to any retiree capable of plunging that much monthly. In contrast, monthly maintenance fees for a 1500sf condo are $1000. Total for condo living: $1000 + $3000 = $4000.
Must be fun trying to sleep during a hurricane
I lived on a boat much smaller than that for 4 years. My 29’ striper seaswirl. I’m still on it for 40+ hours every weekend, but now I live in a tiny home 80 yards above my dock. Buying 2 acres of land with a private dock was the best purchase of my life.
Man, I miss when Seaswirl made boats. Especially the Stripers!
Did nobody else appreciate this video the way I did? ie "I really enjoyed what we got to see today, really pushed all my buttons....... and the boat was nice too".....
👀🙈⛷️
One of the best layouts I've seen on a boat of any size let alone this size. I really love the mid ship engine room. Ship builders need to bring this design back for sure.
i totally agree : impressive smart design ! maybe the galley is a little "short" : no place for a real hoven AND a microwave AND a dishwasher... when you really live on board, these items would be usefull. thx to Nautistyles for sharing this visit !
Thank you for showing this boat. One of the nicest boats I've seen by far. Realistically priced and very well organized. You both did a great job and your enthusiasm for the boat came thru load and clear. I'm putting an extra boat buck in the piggy bank this month hoping something like this will be available when I'm ready to pop.😊
awwww thank you for your kind words
just realistic? it seems a new boat of this design would come in at $3M - $4M? seems like a steal but new to motor yachts. Looks like it already sold too.
@@nextari "A fool and his money are soon parted."
@@willywonka8730 and ...?
These two are awesome. And to be honest, there's nothing better than the camera following her as she walks up any stairs. :-)
😉
Thanks Rico, that's becoming a signature shot.
@MedinaMcKee Hello McKee. I am actually a McKee, as well. I never really knew my family and never met another McKee. So, I thought I would say hello. Here's something weird. This house that my wife and I rent, the previous owner's name was Jim Edward McKee. Growing up until adulthood, I went by Jim Edwards. But now I go by Jim McKee, and I sign Jim Edwards McKee for some things. Okay, that's my strange story, McKee. Take care.
🫣 not me 🤪
the most famous lower back among enthusiastic sailors 😇
As one who lives in the Midwest, I always get taken away on an adventure when watching you guys. Thanks
As a retired high speed production machine service/install tech, I especially get a kick out of Rico's excitement at discovering an ancillary equipment room with sound insulation. He even commented upon the service cavity for all the electronics; right down to it being an illuminated space. I also noticed the three forward heads shared plumbing walls. Brother, those folks looked after this boat! Scrub the boarding bridge/ dinghy hoist walking surface and you'd be forgiven for thinking this was a new boat. Great tour guys!
By far, the nicest layout I have seen you show. I like how the galley is hidden. Can not believe it is only 56'. You would be real comfortable living on board. Husband and Wife, if you had two teenagers, they would be the crew.
Actually according to the info specs this beautiful yaught is 64ft long.
You two are SO entertaining and informative. I so enjoy how you show your viewers each area of the vessel.
Thank you so much for showcasing the ‘affordable’ series. It truly sets the stage for inviting all your fans to join in on the Sun!! great job!!!
It is a pleasure to have such honest people showing what is available
Love the wet t-shirt look.😮
🙈
Always fun watching you two joking and just being yourselves . Keep sharing the yachting life .
11:30 having that side door there opposite the boarding entry makes provisioning VERY convenient too. Two people can easily make a continuous flow of goods from a dock cart right into stowage.
Space, space and more space throughout this VZ 56. The craftsmanship and design is simply amazing. This yacht was well taken care of. When you stepped into the interior, I said, “WOW.” And the tour provided “wow” moments everywhere you went. Victoria, we so enjoy when you and Rico are able to explore. The spontaneity of your reactions and comments reveal how significant features are, coming from someone that live abroad their own yacht. Great tour NautiStyles!!!
Thank you so much - appreciate you Herbert
Best liveaboard so far, I could really see myself living on a boat like this and wanting for nothing. Great layout, modern yet cosy, roomy cabins and a fantastic aft deck, great find!
Glad you like it!
Completely agree.
Me, too!
Yeah…Is the sub-$400K price typical of a boat like this, or is it a one-off bargain? Not a boat guy, but I was stunned by the tour having seen the price upfront. My uneducated guess would have been much, much higher…more than double.
You both are very knowledgeable in boats and it is so nice to see you showing all of the great looking boats and the spcs. Keep up the great work. It is a dream for me to live in a boat in retirement. Possibly soon :)
I found your KZhead page by accident yesterday and my wife and I were checking out your videos and really enjoyed it
This is my favorite affordable live aboard yacht yet! What a cool boat. It would be great for exploring the Caribean or doing the great loop. Roomy and comfortable.
We agree!
You guys are, in my opinion, the best reviewers of boats. Clear, real world, thorough, insightful. Love watching your videos.
Awwww thank you sooooo much
Agree 💯
Amen brother!
She isn’t going to sleep with you, bro.
Wanted to thank you and Rico for bringing such pleasurable experiences to people like myself that don't get to see these things that are available in our lives !!❤
Really enjoy the banter between you both and all the detail about the boats. thanks!
Keep the “budget friendly” boats coming!
will do
This is a nice yacht. For the size, apparent condition, layout and price point it is one of your best reviews. Well done and thank you.
I love this one. So classy, the woodwork, the spaces. My dream boat. Thank you for these videos.
Probably one of the best I've ever seen of that type of yacht. Really well maintained. If it were mine, I think I'd rip up every piece of that teak and replace it with faux-teak, just to keep the maintenance down and appearance up. I don't want to think about how much that would cost, but it'd probably be worth it. Update the electronics and redo the exterior upholstery, and she'd be practically new again. I was really surprised how nice that interior was. Her owners must have run that AC all the time to ensure it stayed nice. Of course, you'd have to down here in Florida with this ridiculous heat and humidity. I didn't see a range on the spec sheet, but 1000 gallons of fuel would probably get you a fair distance, particularly if you keep the RPMs down. Thanks for the walk-through of this one. She's a beauty.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts
A very pretty boat. Italians do such a good job with boats!!! You guys take us to the nicest places ;-)
Our pleasure!
The only reason I wouldn't want this boat is that it can be hard to find a berth for a 56' right where I am, but it's otherwise PERFECT. I think I'd turn that crew quarters into a dedicated office/study or something like that, which is kind of a fantasy thing to have for me.
Considering this boats age it is still beautiful and shows how well it has been cared for & maintained, i could very happily live aboard this super yacht, as it has all the space i would need, beautiful love the woodwork & the layout.
Love your demonstrations and videos. I really like this boat's design and features. Amazingly affordable too. I can imagine myself living on this boat for sure. Very well done, thank you.
A Tardis boat; I have a hard time reconciling all that internal volume to the hull you walked around on! The interior is stunning, there are much more expensive boats that don't look as good.
This one can easily sleep ten people without a bathroom waiting list, amazing! Great boat! ❤
Beautiful boat. It calls for some slight alterations to modernize the outside look, but it looks amazing when inside. Maybe window tint would look good. It does feel much bigger than 56 feet, especially the engine room.
This yacht is GORGEOUS!!! I absolutely love the wood used though out the boat! Another great touch are the mirrors, which make the space look larger, and the marble in the en-suite! I only wish this was a hybrid (solar/electric & diesel powered)!
It has the feel of a huge boat inside. Very talented designers.
Nice one. People even could convert one of those cabins, if they needed an office space on their sailing home, and if that being the one with a pullman berth, you could do it in a way, so guests could still sleep in it occasionally. I love that warm shiny cherry wood from that period. Modern boats are often so cold in the interior design.
thanks for sharing
Nice presentation. Love the old style analog gauges and simple controls, although needs newer electronics,radar, AIS and newer chart plotter. Would be a great vessel for runs to the islands at 21 knots. Engine room is perfect!
This is the first of your many yacht videos that I have watched and I loved it. Your knowledge and energy is amazing. This yacht is amazing too. thank you for making excellent videos.
You guys are amazing! I love your energy and how thorough you always are ❤
That is a really nice 56' live aboard. Surprised that it wasn't already under contract? Great job to tour before another downpour. The crew and laundry areas are definitely a surprise. That laundry area could be another bunk??
Thank you for tall the details specs. great cabin looks like the boat was very well maintained. You offer a lot of insight. Thanks for sharing.
You two do an excellent job, you both compliment each other well.
This is a really nice / comfortable 56 yacht ‼️ As you both have said...."and it's only 56'" for all that great layout space. Certainly am intimate space for an owner operated couple. Love the Italian influence. Also, Victoria, the cutest summer boat tour outfit!! Thanks again, guys. See you next time.✨ 🌊 💨 🛥️🏝️👙🌞✨
awww thank you so much E
Do you know what LOA 65' means? 56 appears to be just an useful "typo" on the official papers
Compact yet very efficient. Thanks for the tour!
its amazing how well laid out this VZ 56 is. Love the wood it makes it so luxuriousGreat tour guys Congrats
Thanks so much!
I like your videos of older boats more than new boats…. Shows the longevity of better built boats!🤗
Stunning yacht considering it is 22 years old. Well kept. It is a good buy !
Oh and the impromptu exploring was fun, and you guys did just as well as you normally do, enjoyable and excellent!
Best tour ever. I really enjoyed what we got to see today, really pushed all my buttons....... and the boat was nice too. Love from down under in NZ as always.
Such a joy watching your tours!
Lovely vessel for an owner/operator. It would be helpful to know the process to purchase a live-aboard and the attending fees and costs annually to determine whether to pursue it and not waste the brokers time.
Love you two! Thank you for showing us what is possible. ❤
Our pleasure!
I love this series. Shows us normal people that yachting is accessible to everyone ❤
Very comfortable yacht, bit small but spacious inside, cosy look, very nice for family and some friends,.. I like the color of the saloon and the cabins as well as the engine area, so comfy.. It's so great to see you guys, your videos make my day😊
Your yacht tours are the highlights of my week! Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedules to bring them to us!!!!
awwwww thank you sooo much
Pretty sweet boat, and a great video! If I were to own a boat like this one, I think I'd likely use the crew quarters as overflow for guests as you suggest. From what I see in this video, I don't think I'd have any trouble taking care of and piloting this boat by myself, so I wouldn't see myself needing a crew. I think this one would be a really good candidate for a liveaboard, too.
I live nearby the place where this boat has been built, it's really nicely built and it's done by people who know how to build a boat. It's not only beautiful but also it's beautiful where it's not visible. High quality boat.
First time touring a yacht and thank you both for taking us along. Very well done. I personally felt very comfortable because you’re both very likable people. Would buy this particular one in a heart beat because it’s so beautiful and spacious. I don’t think my wife is too keen about living on a boat but for as for me, I would be right at home after serving six years in the US Navy and lived aboard a large ship all that time. Thanks again for an exciting, fantastic tour and will be watching out for more of your videos. Bon voyage for now.
So much space for a 56 foot !!! I love the wood interior ❤
thanks Chris
Hey guys, love the channel. Never even thought I would like anything about boats of any type. Once i came across your channel, i fell in love with boating. I have never been on a boat, but now i want to know and learn everything i can. Thank you for opening my eyes to the world of boating and yachting.
awwww we love you back for watching our videos and for falling in love with boating
We the subscribers here by thank you for sacrifice and dedication to bringing us gr8 content even in crappy weather.
Thank You for showing this beautiful yacht. After viewing thousands I believe this one makes the short list.
For the price, that is a really nice boat! The style and woodwork are beautiful, the state rooms are realllllyyy nice. The extra space they give aft of the engine room and in the lazerette are total selling points. The engine room looks "Yoga free" and pretty comfy to work in. The galley is small, but damn i like it! With the door for access and ventilation while cooking, like you suggested, a dishwasher would be a good bonus to fit. The refrigerator is nice and big, the only thing I'd personally miss is an oven shoe horned in somewhere. The visibility from the Fly is great, it'd be perfect for whale watching off the coast up here in the Pacific northwest. 👍
I assumed there was an oven under the cooktop but might have missed that. Would the circuits support an electric oven if there is none?
I don't thinks with this comapny the circuits would be an issue, I think it's what you'd have to trade off to make space for an oven in there. There was a microwave, now if that was a convection oven combo it'd be workable for me. Though i do prefer single purpose devices over combos, more to go wrong with those.@@arribaficationwineho32
All I can say is WOW ! The sleeping space in a 56’ boat was amazing ! The owner’s cabin was just big enough to move around comfortably and not bump into each other . The only thing is it is a bit dated , but for the price point it can be freshened up . With the amount of fuel that you posted 4x250 a couple or family could cruise for quite a while ! Thank You . Is it in Florida ?
After seeing all the beds I understand why the refrigerator is large! The crisscross beds seem more spacious than the other two bed cabin. What a beautiful boat!
A very well thought out design. Incredible use of space for it's dimensions. No immediate issues, good to go!!!
needs all showers over toiletz like vvindy ^ ^
This is a fantastic liveaboard yacht. It's spacious, and the tour just kept giving.
What a great starter yacht and the price is affordable! It looks amazing for a 2001. Really like the passerelle/davit combo. Great find you guy's!! 👍👍
You two are offer great entertainment value and tasteful. Very informative for yacht lovers
I just listened to some guy from the UK giving a tour of a luxury yacht. He described the helm station as containing "ship stuff " and the cockpit as a "rear gathering place". Needless to say, I enjoy listening your professional, naval, descriptions of what we are looking at.
😝💙🙏🏻
Incredible!!!... Now don't get me wrong because Victoria and Rico have caused me to fall in luv with Bering Yachts, but this boat for a fraction of cost is just absolutely astounding as a live aboard. How could anyone not be happy with this??? Thank you both Rico and Victoria
Wow, love interior layout. Looks like a home 🙂……love the wood !
Agreed, the interior (wood, etc.) is in amazing shape for any model but especially notable for a 20+ year old boat!
yesss
Beautiful yacht plenty of room
I’m really enjoying your affordable live aboard yacht videos!😊
These are my favorite boat tours. This is a yacht I could really buy if I sold my house, and I would have enough money left over to do some upgrades. This is a yacht an experienced boater can manage easily with minimal help, a huge plus. It's comfortable, fast, well laid out for 6 people to live on, easy to dock in a crowded marina, you can fish off the swim platform, what's not to like? Plus it has that sleek Italian vibe if that's your thing. Great tour as usual, you two work so well together. Thanks! 😃
👌🙏💙
A Great video on this amazing yacht. You both do a great job. Thank you for all of your efforts.
I myself really like the standing room you get with that engine room. It seems to be priced reasonable. It does need some tech updates.the one way mirror windows are awesome.
Thanks Michael
Thanks for posting the outside temperature in the beginning . You two always maintain professionalism , up-beat energy , sense of humor , and a welcomed informalness . Equally, important , the sharing of #NautiStyles knowledge and insights on yacht designs and features makes for informed decisions for current and future buyers .
I kept looking at the details of the wood, fasteners, joinery and the condition of the exterior trim, walls and floors. Also the cleanness of the engines, generators, tanks etc. That has to be one of, if not the cleanest well taken care of boats for its age I've ever seen! With a few upgrades (control/coms/navigation) I would guess it was a lot newer! Very well done layout making use of space! I'm a "wood" person also, so that is amazing! 4.8 of 5.0!! LOL Thanks guys!! 8) --gary
Thanks Gary
When were going to sleep! It allows us to make a retirement decision on whether we want a live aboard yacht down in FL. OR and RV to travel the country! We look forward to coming on a tour with you one day❤😊
World Traveler, yet a landbound geek. Stumbled across this video and decided to view it. Wow, I was really impressed with the room and plushness of this yacht. I certainly could live aboard this yacht with pleasure. And the mobile factor would be an added bonus. However, all aspects, including maintenance, upkeep, and even navigating, are utterly daunting to me. It is such a cool way to live for someone with the means and ability, though! It was fun to tour the yacht with you, and seeing all it had to offer was amazing! Cheers...
As a Bay Area native and a teacher the real estate market has made it essentially impossible to buy a house but there are many boats and even some floating homes in my hometown I’ve considered eventually living room. A boat like this would be great, definitely more storage than my current apartment and I could turn one of the spare bedrooms into a music room.
Do it!
YES, I could live aboard this yacht. Not really a big fan of European design, but this was actually well done. What really sold me was the walk-in, stand-up engine room. Looked like a nice yacht harbor, where is it ?
your videos are excellent I watch as many as possible some more than once, please keep the good work.
Comment two ti say you guys always do a great job and it’s great to see a happy couple doing what they love, good for you!!!
Great video, and that engine room was super clean and spacious for a 2001. The owner really took great care of this boat.
Thanks for yet another great tour guys. Rico, your wife and partner seems more beautiful with every video. Lucky guy you are! Best wishes.
Beautiful yacht and a great tour/review as you always provide.
Many thanks!
Love these tours, very informative and professionally done. Thank you so much!
Thanks Guys, for sharing this tour of this beautiful boat and everything else you do for us.. This boat is exactly the size and style that one person would need to live aboard. If I were ready, I would jump on this deal directly. But, I've got a few more things to clear up first. Then, I'll be looking for a 50 to 60 footer Sedan Bridge style boat. Good luck and God Bless
thank you so much for watching
Victoria, don’t forget about the Wednesday dance. It would be fun to see you do it
What is that?
@@NautiStyles the Wednesday dance originated from the original 1960s version of the Addams family is the movie out now called Wednesday in the movie. She does the Wednesday dance as it is called.
Addams Family
Love this boat, especially how well it's been taken care of, and astonished at how reasonably priced it is.
Yes... makes one wonder what's wrong with it....
I love watching your channel with affordable reviews for this boat, roughly how much are expenses for the boat slip and other fees you must pay. I live outside Philadelphia you’re my favorite boat channel.
Nice
Rico's intelligent knowledge of yacht helps viewers understand that complexity of the navigational, telecommunication, & mechanics of the yacht &/or boat being viewed.
Enjoyed your tour!
