YachtBuyer’s Most Viewed YouTube Videos of 2025

The commercial-spec bridge has enclosed wing stations, the boat and heli deck carry a heavy-duty telescopic crane and twin Rupert R9s, and the hull holds Polar certification and 5,000nm+ range. But the Tahiti Plage pool deck with its tiki bar, drop-down bulwarks and swing chairs gives the Damen yacht a playful and unique character that matches the scale of its hardware.

2. Beneteau Swift Trawler 54

492,000 views | 17.3m (57ft) trawler yacht sea trial & tour

Released in late August 2025, this sea trial surprised us with how fast it climbed. Viewers latched onto the idea of a 17.3m flybridge trawler that promises genuine liveaboard range without the jump in size and cost of a full-blown Beneteau Grand Trawler 62.

The ST54 has an infused GRP hull on straight shafts, twin 550hp Cummins diesels, a comfortable 8-15 knot cruising band and systems sized for time away from the dock. Three cabins sleep six guests (with bunks in the third cabin), there is scope for a small crew or utility cabin in the lazarette, and the split galley, central lower helm and flybridge layout all reflect owner feedback, favouring storage and easy maintenance over gloss, while Beneteau has kept the price well below more upmarket rivals.

3. Pearl 63

The 63 arrived as the follow-up their best seller, the Pearl 62, and then went one better by earning a YachtBuyer 5-Star Award - the third of only four boats to do so this year.

Pearl Yachts has kept the same four-cabin, IPS-driven layout but adds smarter details: drop-down cockpit balconies, a longer garage that now takes a semi-inflated Williams MiniJet, and a new Kelly Hoppen interior with better lighting and storage.

On test it felt like a step up where it counts - stronger pace from the available Volvo Penta IPS900, IPS950 or IPS1200 engines, a more open saloon with a clearer split between dining and lounging, and a full-beam owner’s cabin with private stair access. If you want a 60-foot flybridge with four good-sized cabins, a capable tender setup and thoughtful upgrades throughout, the Pearl 63 earns its place.

4. Galeon 435 GTI 

277,000 views | 14.4m (47ft) sports cruiser tour

The 435 GTI took off fast on YouTube perhaps due to a healthy interest in an IPS alternative to the outboard-powered Galeon 435 GTO. Its twin Volvo Penta IPS650 diesels gave it a 35-knot top end, a relaxed 25-knot cruise and far better fuel habits than the triple-outboard setup, while also freeing room aft for a full-beam hydraulic platform and tender stowage. Electric balconies, a wide cockpit opening and push-button seating turned it into a social deck boat with the sort of transformations Galeon Yachts does best.

Below, the GTI ran a two-cabin, four-berth layout with a compact galley, a forward owner’s cabin and a useful guest cabin amidships. On deck it felt like a bigger boat: a weather-tight helm with electric steering-wheel adjustment, triple-screen options and IPS joystick control, plus a foredeck built for long lazy stops with triple loungers and integrated charging.

5. Nimbus 495 Flybridge 

247,000 views | 14.9m (49ft) flybridge boat test & tour

Released July 2025, the Nimbus 495 Fly video struck a chord with people who want a “small yacht” they can run themselves. Twin Volvo Penta IPS650 diesels push this 14.9m flybridge cruiser to just under 30 knots, with a settled 22-24 knot cruise and a lower helm that feels closer to a car than a wheelhouse.

Nimbus has designed the 495 with an asymmetric deck plan, helm door and aligned side gate on the starboard side that all makes short-handed docking much simpler, while the hydraulic platform can handle a Williams Minijet 280.

Inside, the 495 Fly leans toward practical Nordic use with a split galley, spread refrigeration, a clever saloon table and that sliding glass panel which seals the cockpit give it the feel of a floating home rather than a weekend toy. Three cabins cover an amidships owner’s suite, a bright forward VIP and a useful bunk cabin, all tied into a layout that suits long spells on board.

6. Marex 440 Scandinavia

200,000 views | 13.7m (45ft) family cruiser walkthrough

Inside, the adaptable saloon drew particular interest, with its movable seating, flip-up navigator position and drop-down window linking to the cockpit. The two-cabin layout also helped the video stand out, showcasing a bright forward owner’s cabin with a large, separate shower and a spacious amidships guest cabin with its own bathroom access. With shaftdrive, sterndrive or IPS propulsion and speeds up to 35 knots, the 440 covers a broad range of cruising styles, and the video gave viewers a clear sense of how much boat Marex has packed into 13.7m.

7. Fleming 60

175,000 views | 20.4m (66ft) long-range cruiser review

Inside, the walkthrough of the Fleming boat showed the seagoing galley with its secure layout, the warm teak saloon and the three-cabin arrangement, including the full-beam owner’s cabin amidships with its walk-in wardrobe and generous ensuite. The pilot-focused design of the pilothouse and flybridge stood out, especially the integration of the Böning monitoring system, the upgraded Twin Disc controls on hull #1 and the easy internal access between decks. With a top speed of 21 knots and a 2,500nm displacement range, the video underlined why the 60 sits firmly in the serious cruising category.

8. Absolute 47 Fly

172,000 views | 14.6m (48ft) flybridge yacht sea trial & tour

On the water, the video showed why Absolute has leaned on IPS for years. The twin Volvo Penta IPS650s made close-quarters handling smooth and predictable, especially from the lower helm with its side door, and once clear of the marina the 47 FLY eased onto the plane around 15 knots before settling into a relaxed 20 to 22 knot cruise with low noise and a steady feel. The test topped out at 25 knots on the day, with tide and fouling likely hiding the quoted 29 knots. The walkthrough also highlighted the tidy, accessible engine room, underscoring that this is a boat shaped for owner-operators who value comfort, space and everyday practicality over theatrics at the helm.

9. XO Boats EXPLR 44

156,000 views | 13.4m (44ft) aluminium adventure boat walkthrough

The walkthrough highlighted sharp handling, the support of the Seakeeper Ride system, and the ease of joystick manoeuvring around the marina. Inside, the video focused on the unusual two-cabin layout, the flexibility of the dinette, the separate bathrooms, and the amount of light in both sleeping spaces. It gave a clear sense of the 44’s role as a rapid, all-weather adventure boat with more accommodation and refinement than many expect in this sector.

10. Picchiotti Gentleman 24

The beach club and open aft deck also surprised with how inviting they felt, even with the tender stored aft. Up at the helm, the integration of traditional touches and modern screens underlined how the boat balances nostalgia with current systems. Overall, the video made it clear why the Gentleman 24 attracts those who value character and proportion over headline-grabbing volume.
