1. Once you've done your first 50,000 mile around-the-world as a youngster, this is situation normal. Lock down anything that could break/fly around.

2. Seems a lot of faffing about.

   'Fancy taking the boat out?'

   'Yeah just give me three hours to stack all the furniture on top of each other'.

3. Roughly 130 miles each way. If she averaged 30 litres per NM and fuel at £1.50 a litre, that's £12,500 for a round trip to Jersey.

4. I'll have my people look at getting one of these.

5. tldr 100 miles? Did you circle the UK on the way?

6. Absolutely terrific vid, Hugo. Really enjoyed this one and thanks very much for that!

7. As a Scotsman, that fuel burn would bring tears to a glass eye 😂😂

8. Doesn't look like great helm ergonomics with vertical wheel in front of the helm seat. I wrote an article on this for MB&Y 30 years ago!

9. Amazing and fantastic 😊❤.

10. Those lcd screens on the bridge are mounted way too high, they're blocking a lot of visibility

11. That seemed pretty effortless. Good speed for such a large boat.

12. Brilliant video

13. I like boats but actually boats this exspensive should be forbidden in light of all poor and hungry people in the world😮

14. So that little jaunt cost over $15,000?

15. This was such a fabulously exciting experience. Thanks so much for sharing an actual cross channel trip.

16. main bridge is like looking out of a letterbox, and why would you buy a boat like this if you have to put up with the noise while underway?

17. 33 litres per nautical mile! Ouch

18. Excellent vlog…thanks

19. So 15/20 K for a short day trip. 🥲

20. Really interesting to see the 'lockdown' pre-passage and how the boat behaves during the run. Very stable and refined, despite being a boat optimised for accommodation over ocean-going. Those bow waves from the minor staterooms were spectacular

21. I sometimes struggle berthing my 22' sports boat but that looked way to easy – great video

22. Honestly burning 3000l of fuel for a 100m trip is not something I could do in good conscience…

23. Thats about £5000 in fuel to cross the Channel….(assuming the average price I found online of £1.50 per litre for marine diesel) I absolutely CANNOT afford a boat…….

24. Handsome yacht. Very clean design inside and out. Clearly, the narrator knows boats, as he understands the integration of the electronics, expresses the sensations of how this small ship cuts through the seas, and knows the points of interest. Technically, he is a yachtsman who can operate a vessel. That's so refreshing. Very professional. Makes me want to buy a San Lorenzo. My only negative comment is the lower deck control room where multiple display screens block forward sightlines. The upper deck steeting station is far more proper and efficient. Perfection and nice, real life experience.

25. Great video and clearly a very well run boat.

26. Thanks for the video, epic trip. Not sure if you would class the boat as eco friendly 🙂

27. 289m per gallon, blimey

28. That Hugo was a superb episode. I’ve so often wondered what it would be like to do a lengthy trip on such a boat and you demonstrated that really well in this video.
    As you were flying back I did wonder where the owner was heading to after Jersey. If that were me I think I’d be very tempted to carry on round to the Med and overwinter there 😁

29. Punching Waves? Oh motorboater ripples. 😂

30. Wow 28 knots for a super luxurious boat is seriously impressive,having the best engines money can buy definitely helps.Thanks Hugo and the lucky owner.

31. I love the boats, the engineering and the craftsmanship. That being said the U.K. needs wealth taxation asap (as does the entire world economy).

32. Welcome to my home town. Fuel is somewhat cheaper here so no doubt the owner filled her up 🙂 Superyachts are here fairly regularly for a top up. Not sure what the boat was doing crossing in front of you as you entered the harbour, lights should of been on red to allow you to come in safely.

33. nice boat, but the screens at the main helm station are not positioned very good and it's like looking through a letter box to see outside, I have seen better designs

34. Great video Hugo and thanks. I've been hoping for something like this for years. Very informative.

35. Gorgeous boat, undeniably. I dream of a large boat to cruise around for a few years on but this just wouldn’t be it. Far too inefficient but a stunning thing! I’d love to see a similar trip in the displacement version.

36. 33 litres per nautical mile! Really!!!

37. I don’t know how it looks IRL but lower helm looks terrible.. big thick mullions and screens that obstruct the sight out of relatively small windows.. maybe different IRL though

38. It's a tough life on a big motor yacht! Spare a thought for us poor small sailing yacht owners. Probably 24 hours to Jersey from the Solent, tides stop us, a different angle everytime we change tacks. One problem that we don't have is plant pots or ornaments that we have to put on the floor. Oh, how the other half live? 🤣 I enjoyed the video, thanks.

39. I spat my drink when he casually said "33l per nautical mile"

40. so noise. I imagined A luxury yacht should be quiet. We can almost "hear"the vibration as well.

41. Very good video. Thank you. I noticed, fuel consumption was 4 litres/nm at 7 knots, which is not bad. This translates to 1 nmpg per gallon. For all those compaining about the fuel cost this Sanlorenzo makes 1 nmpg at 7 knots which is in range of what most motorboats. It is just as efficient as any small boat all the way up to 11-12 knots. Then things go downhill, I agree.

42. I’m sure the yacht at 5.40 loved the wash that it had to endure.Not very good boatmanship. Change your frame rate or ditch the go pro

43. As an automotive engineer I always wondered how they get enough air into those large engines inside to get enough oxygen into the engines., so interesting to see they have dedicated air systems to suck and expel the air. As opposed to a couple of ducts and vents in front of a car!

44. As always Sanlorenzo SL96A is a beautiful looking M/Y, my critique the bed is facing the wrong way in the master cabin, should be able to look out all 3 windows, to greet the next… day!
    Thanks, Hugo for another great tour, watching the channel go by

45. Nice video Hugo :).
    I know this boat pretty well and have spent time on board. Some quick replies to a few questions:

    1. The visibility from lower helm is not at all compromised by the 5 big Garmin screens. When you're in the helm chair, the screens block only the view of the sunbeds, not the sea. You get a slight glimpse of this at 10.10 to 10.15. Hugo's camera is generally lower than your eyes would be if driving this boat, which makes things look bad

    2. Yes the pillars/mullions in the front windscreen are thick. This is not the builder's fault – it is class requirements – the roof above the helm needs to support x tons of green water. This boat was designed c 5 years ago and very recent designs (eg Sanlorenzo SL110/A) are eliminating the two central millions and using a single piece of glass for the forward facing screen, but no-one is eliminating the very thick corner mullions. In practice it doesn't matter – you can't compare with driving a car.

    3. Tying down the furniture was only for this trip with risk of bad weather and no guests on board. On a normal Mediterranean cruise all the furniture and other stuff is left out.

    4. Master cabin bed "wrong way round" – this is the choice of the customer. Don't blame the builder. If you buy one of these you can have the bed any way you want. Same with all the other furniture 🙂

    5. The MTU panels that look like TV remotes are a series of buttons to stop/start the engines and silence/override alarms. You find them on nearly all MTU engined boats. https://outletspecialist.com/en-eu/products/mtu-pan-9-engine-control-panel-b00e50208286

    6. Some people said it is noisy. Honestly it isn't – this is pretty much the quietest boat in its class and the only noise you would care about is in the two cabins closest to the engine room. The inside helm is very quiet and you virtually can't hear the engines on the flybridge. The go-pro microphone doesn't pick up sounds the same as your ears do.

46. I’ve seen much smaller boats in the Hamble river putting over £1200 of fuel in the tanks when we’ve put around £100 of diesel into a sailing yacht . I suppose if you can afford the boat then running it is no problem .
