What Colour shows up best underwater?
The study revealed that bright neon colors, such as orange, yellow, and green, are instrumental in identifying a child in a body of water. The most popular colors, such as blues and greens, exhibited a significant decline, while white and light blue experienced the most notable losses. White was observed to appear as a light reflection or cloud on the surface of lakes.
Can boats be any color?
Fiberglass boats are available in a variety of colors, although the majority of materials are manufactured in white. In order to ensure that the color of the boat’s hull is preserved, it is advisable to mix up blue or yellow colors to prevent scratches, particularly in cases where the hull is damaged.
What is the popular color for boats in 2024?
The trend of incorporating blue in boat interiors is gaining popularity, with a range of hues and placement on hull sides. Blue symbolizes serenity and open spaces, making it an ideal choice for boating. Matte finish is also making an appearance, with fiberglass hull sides and pontoon boat fences featuring a more subdued look. This non-reflective finish is suitable for bright sunlight and doesn’t glare off the boat side.
Quilted upholstery is another trend in boat design, borrowed from the automotive industry. Boat designers are incorporating quilted seats and benches into their designs, adding a touch of pizzaz without overdoing it. This trend allows for a designer-specific pattern that coordinates with other elements in the boat interior, adding a touch of sophistication without overdoing it. Overall, blue is a popular choice for boat interiors, with its versatility and versatility making it a popular choice for boaters.
What colors are sharks attracted to?
Sharks are attracted to contrasts, and bright or fluorescent colors can stand out more vividly against the ocean’s blue and green tones. For example, a bright yellow or orange dive suit might be more visible to a shark than a darker color like black or blue. However, this theory is still being researched and is not fully understood. Some colors have been shown to be more attractive to sharks in certain circumstances, such as lemon sharks being more attracted to divers wearing yellow and white dive suits, and bull sharks being more likely to approach bait colored red or yellow than blue or white. These findings suggest that bright, contrasting colors may be more attractive to sharks, but more research is needed to confirm this.
Why are so many boats painted white?
The prevalence of white boats can be attributed to their reflective and non-absorbing characteristics, which result in greater light reflection and lower energy absorption. This phenomenon results in white surfaces reaching lower temperatures than darker colors.
What color not to wear when diving?
Divers and swimmers can reduce shark interaction by using dark blue or black fins, mask, tank, and wetsuit while diving. Wearing a dive watch under the cuff of the wetsuit can eliminate light reflection, attracting sharks or barracuda. Avoid wearing jewelry, as it resembles the glint of light off fish scales, the normal food items of most sharks. Avoid bright and highly contrasting swimwear or dive gear.
What color is predicted for 2024?
Color trend forecasters predict a bolder landscape for 2024, with vibrant pinks, playful aquas, and luxurious browns dominating the palette. Neutrals are evolving with buttery and blush tones, and personalization will be paramount. The hues we choose to adorn our surroundings have a significant impact on our emotions and reflect our individuality. For those ready to embrace a vibrant aesthetic, five trending colour choices for 2024 are mysterious yet stylishly dark: dark chocolate browns, unique blacks, navy blues, and forest greens. These deep and rich colours will help achieve a balanced aesthetic, contrasting with the bright and light shades dominating next year.
What is the best Colour of boat?
Personal preference and color selection play a significant role in boat painting. Lighter colors like white or yellow reflect more light and heat, providing a cooler experience, while darker colors absorb more heat, making the boat hotter. However, this factor doesn’t significantly affect boat temperature. Quality is crucial, especially when painting boats, as they are expensive and can be easily ruined. Using high-quality paints and employing experienced professionals is essential.
Choosing cheaper options may not be the best long-term solution, as the boat and wallet will suffer. Flight Marine, a trusted boat painting, sandblasting, and spray painting company in the Gold Coast and Brisbane, offers expert assistance with all boat painting needs. Their experienced team is ready to assist you with all your boat painting needs.
What is the most popular color for boats?
White is a commonly utilized color for boats due to its capacity to absorb minimal sunlight, prevent overheating, and be readily discernible in low-light conditions. Individuals who are outgoing, determined, ambitious, and fun are often seen to choose red, which symbolizes a zest for life. The prevalence of red vehicles in high-adrenaline films serves to illustrate the popularity of white in boat coatings.
What are the colour trends for 2024?
The 2024 Pantone Color of the Year is Peach Fuzz, a soft, velvety peach tone that combines warmth and energy. The collection features charming illustrations, such as a Snow Angels mug from Wrendale Designs featuring a watercolor illustration of a fluffy rabbit and plump robin wearing red and white polka dot scarves. The mug is microwave and dishwasher safe, perfect for the festive season. Additionally, the Snowman Square Plate by Royal Worcester features an illustration of different countryside animals surrounding a cheerful snowman, making it the perfect serving plate for homemade festive bakes. These items are perfect for enhancing the festive atmosphere and enhancing the festive spirit.
What is the interior color for 2024?
In 2024, warm terracotta is gaining popularity in interior design due to its earthy tones, adding sophistication and coziness to any room. It’s ideal for accent walls, dining rooms, and front doors. This color pairs well with neutral colors like beige or off-white for a balanced look.

A great family boat, welcome to the Prestige 460S! Sponsored by: https://www.boatsandyachtswarranty.com In association with: …
It is brilliant what innovations are showing up in the MY world. Especially in the small MY arena where gaining living space is king. The article was quick but nothing really missed and we all know what that particular bridge helm looks like just from the view. A perfectly executed show that I’m sure Prestige is very happy with. Perhaps they’ll make it up to you one day soon. Cheers and have a great week.
Amd thank you Nick what a start of you give us this Tuesday with the Prestige X70 what a show a beautiful yacht its is and also I love the raised side deck so that you get more space in the living wow. Only a strange place to put the isolaters and the fire extinguishing system in closet of the VIP room thank you again
This is indeed a very cool design, especially taking into consideration that we have what is effectively a raised pilothouse and a forward sloping foredeck for improved visibility. I wonder even if it’s possible to do away with the flybridge at this point and just make do with remote control panels for docking and autopilot management.
Thanks for pressing on Nick to bring us this one. The flybridge was a mess but the guy lounging on the sofa in the salon like he owned the place while you come in obviously recording a boat tour/review really bothered me. Folks are so self-absorbed and entitled today. I will give him this…he wasn’t taking selfies of himself!
Lovely tour, interesting boat. The lack of side decks means you have to have abseil-capable deckhands instead of just a guy or gal with a scrubbing groom to keep the salt off the windows. Not a problem for crews and charters, an issue for owner-operators though. Does give a HUGE amount of space inside though. For every benefit a drawback, for every drawback a benefit.
Very interesting boat configuration – strikes me that raised side decks would work very well in combination with folding cockpit bulwarks – the transition to side decks always looks awkward with those – but it wouldn’t at all here – then you could have even more cockpit width. I’d trade some of that extra cockpit length for more saloon space with rear galley and more cockpit width. I’m sure they and others will continue to develop this idea into more configurations… Good trade-off choice in filming this!
Great tour as always – even while at a boat show! I very much like how they did this one. The high side decks make a lot of sense; I actually really loved the center kitchen (it makes the lounge seem a lot more welcoming) with a proper fridge; and an accessible engine room. I’m also intrigued by what appears to be a regular yacht taking design cues — like the reverse-slanted windshield — from trawler-style boats. The same goes for the main cabin, which is midway between the main and the lower deck. I would love to see more designers do things like that because it makes so much sense. Thank you for the tour!
Nick – you still get a thumbs up, but the boat is a disappointment to me. Very few features I like. I know different builders try different things to move the industry forward, but I don’t think this is it. The one next to it would be more my style and classic design. Thank you ALL of your efforts – keep them coming.
Not sure how this works for Med mooring. You pickup the ground line at the stern and bring to the bow. These lines or “slime lines” are filthy and if not careful even with traditional side decks can cover the boat in mud. This format makes this incredibly difficult to manage and would most certainly cover the boat in mud each time you return to port? Not convinced it works in practice……
I have a couple of things to say about these superyauchts. And this is just my opinion but I feel they are all show selecting very expensive materials but they are only veneers. Most are simply particle board underneath. The quality of the fit and finish is good but not intricate and their is a lot of flash and not much substance. I really enjoy your articles and respect your opinions but I don’t think many of these boats would stand the test of time and ocean living. Great to look at though👍
Mr Burnham, your mission should you decide to accept it, is to film the Prestige XC70 at Cannes Boat show whilst absolutely packed with other visitors. If you fail the Aquaholic subscribers will deny all, oh no … but you won’t fail, well done Nick! Lovely boat great ideas. Just hope this tape won’t self-destruct in 10 seconds, it’s so good I’m perusal it again!
Interesting. Second boat to erase the bulwarks. Clever solution to take it upstairs. But was there a bare minimal bulwark to the port anyway? just in case you had to with nimble crew. Unusual and splayed out casual layout that’s very super yachty and the lounge width is indeed super yachty. Rather than sacrifice the lounge length for the luxurious aft deck, I would rather push the limits of the overhang on the transom. There are no significant load items on the deck so it must be easy to build out a meter or so. Maybe extend the platform a bit (and ideally make it double as an electric tender). If you are going for ‘stealing’ a super yacht experience I think you want the interior dining capability when 42 foot yachts do. Doesn’t have to be a massive table and it can be camper integrated on one wall like the smaller yachts. If you can pull off an 85 foot main deck with a 69 foot boat, that has to be worth something. I’d like to see a modern alternative to fenders. Maybe docking clamps that hold the boats steady so they don’t drift into each other. Maybe motorized inflatable hidden pouches on the side of the ship or rollers that come out. And if they’re listening, that AI captain would be a wow thing. Eliminating the need for crew has to be huge for small to mid size yachts. A ship that can safely sail from one marina to the next entirely on its own, that would be something. So you can lounge when it needlessly takes you to Ibiza 🙂 then Amalfi. Such a capability is easily within the possibilities of modern AI.
Ever thought of taking a couple of burly lads with you as a form of escort to clear the decks ? What chance a Lazzara UHV or a Bering 77 both offer volume but in a totally different way, I know others have done walk through’s, but not to the standard you give us, whether it’s a dingy or a £ 16m super yacht, we get detail, many thanks.
I love it. I can have 4 girls in the cabin across from the vip suite with my brother and sister in law. Then put 2 boys in the crew cabin. I would love it with more tank space for longer cruising range. The side deck is the bomb. I am sure there are ideas from this boat that can be taken to make the perfect liveaboard.
I really enjoyed your tour of this boat. Nick, I know you hear this a lot, but you are a simple man with a simple tour for simple people. There is nothing more aggravating than someone doing one of these yacht tours that are so choppy that you have no idea how to follow them through the tour. And my top complaint is when the guide will use words that simple folks do not use in every day conversation. Especially when someone is describing flooring and they use the term: “And what you’ll find under foot is….” – for me the eye rolling begins and the exit button is pushed and I search your simple website for simple everyday people. Just because you are hoping to reach an audience that can afford vessels like the ones you bring to the website, they too use everyday language and don’t try to be ultra-fancy with words. Sorry; rant over.. look at your views vs. those “fancy” folks… Simple wins – thanks for remaining simple as you reach all your goals and more! Cheers from Kentucky, USA!
Always love your enthusiasm Nick, makes it so much fun to watch! But this really is a clever layout, what a whole lot more space do you get this way. Really an eye opener to build a boat this way. Could you maybe also tell me what brand is at the other side of the water, when you’re on the fore deck I see a boat that has a pool or something on the fore deck. It’s in your film at minute 7:15, have been trying to find out on maps from the show, as I saw it earlier in your other film on a different boat, but couldn’t find anything about it.
The layout is different and interesting . Having more room in the salon is a great option . I do like the steps going down to the cabin . You did great with the amount of people on board. The respect you have for others is what I admire in your website. Do they have any Princess or Sunseeker yachts there ? 2 of my favorites…😁 .
Nick, your article tours are, by far, the best content in this category that I’ve found. Very informative and interesting, courteous and with great respect for the boats (and the people who own them), always leaving things as you found them. The whole thing is a window into a world that needs a lottery win for most of us, but if the big one lands then I’ll drop you a line to help me go shopping for an explorer trawler yacht – these appeal hugely to my wanderer spirit. Keep up the excellent work. Thank you.
A very cool boat, and well done for showing us around in tricky circumstances. Clearly designed for the med and stern to berthing. I can’t imagine the layout would be popular with those that need side access to the dock, it’s a bit of a jump! Loving you passion of Canne – it’s infectious and I now want to make the 2022 show.
In some respects, this is a cool yacht with great space for just over 70 feet. However, I would hate to think when stern Med mooring that dragging a slime line along the upper sidewalks would make one holy mess of the lower and upper hull and be a massive pain. I hope they think this gimmick is worth it but for me it is one good reason not to buy it.
Not sure I like the interior fit out, but the raised side deck is a good idea. I think that particular would benefit from sunbed, seat and table on foredeck, 2 proper helm seats, galley aft layout, and a better entrance to the crew and engine areas – those steps look hazardous in any kind of sea. Also think the 2 sets of twin bedrooms could be configured to a bunk bed twin, and a reasonable double. The use of the transom is very good too, the cushion layout suggested that it did other things we didn’t see too?
How to buy a custom ordered, bespoke yacht for the price of an assembly line vessel? Buy a Prestige X70 with the layout and options you desire. Do this in late summer and there’s a good chance you’ll be yachting in your custom floater by early the next fall (time flies during the holidays, anyway). Prestige has saved both the BIGGEST and BEST for last. Nice “get” Nick, and you should be awarded the Yachting Journalist Navigation License for this article. Well done. Thanks for sharing and thanks Prestige for making this lovely machine.
Again, Nick, you are really good at reviewing and selling yachts. You should set up a side business as a “yacht consultant” and cater to people searching for their dream. Get in cahoots with the manufacturers and dealers, you direct the client to the yacht and get a commission for the placement. Back to the Prestige… I’ve seen this on several large yachts and cant figure out why the designer would limit the use of the cooktop by putting a solid wall on one side of the stove(ie- refridgerator). Your recent Nordhavn review has the same design. ot only does it limit “workable” stovetop space, it makes it cumbersome and crowded. Loved the long stairwell down to the MC, meh to the spiral stairs to the guest cabins. Just imagine having to carry things up and down those spirals ! Personally dont care for having to climb stairs to get to the sidedecks, but it’s a unique design, none the less.
Very nice affordable(ish) decent layout, good sleeping options with 2 cabins, teenager storage and even drop down table bed ( although itd be cramped with that many on board). Only thing not sure about is the ladder to get in out of the engine room. Beautiful country views from the mooring too. How much extra for the fly bridge?
For a sub £400k boat I was getting more and more impressed with it by the minute. But definitely think the flybridge option would be a wiser choice for this class of boat. So much of the pleasure of owner operating a small fast boat like this is the full wind in your hair experience from the high vantage point of the second helm – that just can’t be replicated no matter how big an opening roof panel a boat has.
Wow…I usually love them larger but this boat is lovely! Great layout and seems to be way larger on the inside than the outside! If anything a flybridge version that is another foot wider would be all I could ask for in a class of vessel like this. To think that I almost skipped this article as another “meh…small boat again”.
For the price and at 46’ the spaces are pretty darn good and well suited for a couple. I especially like the aft galley, if you burn supper your close enough to the stern to toss it before being discovered. Yes I noticed the “BOAT” coffee/tea mugs, I might plagieriez that. I do wonder though Maggi being so vertically challenged manages to beat you aboard every time, rather odd? As always 👏🤝👏 a standing ovation!
Great tour of a lovely boat. Thanks NIck 👍 Always wonder, what happens to the IPS drives if you find yourself on a mooring spot with less than ideal what levels (Norfolk Broads) – can the drives take the strain? I like Prestige boats and they tick a lot of boxes, but the question would always be whether you’d buy new Prestige or an older Sunseeker, Fairline or Princess for the same money 🙃
“A Few Thoughts”… And I thought I liked the Cranchi 43… What a heap that is, compared to this beauty…! 😉 Beautiful vessel, especially considering the cost (I’m gonna buy one for all my friends with those Powerball winnings! Hell… throw in one for yourself Nick… It’s YOUR damn fault I’m now a junkie for all things yachting. My wife is now familiar with the term “Aquaholicholic”…!), and it being <50ft. craft not to mention. Thanks for showing us how the high/low mechanism functions. Brilliant! But a tender...? On a 46 footer? Is that the norm? The Aft Cockpit is simple and understated. Very utilitarian. The Main Saloon - Again... Very simple and understated, yet luxurious appearing at the same time. It just looks comfy as well... Great finishes. And Nick... Thank you for opening every damn cabinet and drawer and cubby and... We LOVE to see 'em all...! Love the forward cabin, especially the scissors berth. The shower in the day heads... Atrocious! Look at the layout... Move the wardrobe cabinet 24"-30" forward, allowing ample room for a proper shower stall...!!! Having to hang a flimsy hand-held, and then stand on one leg with the other on the loo is hardly my idea of comfort and style... It's 46 footer dammit...... How about ONE fantastic day heads, with ONE proper shower, and the remaining room dedicated to areas where you actually sit, eat, entertain, etc.? Sucks being a designer and spotting such obvious areas for vast improvement... And while I'm at it... How about a chase lounge or a proper reading cubby, either plushly upholstered, for curly up with a book or electronic device - instead of that drab sofa (where little to no time will actually be spent - and why would you? Look at the rest of this beauty!) And why no rainfall head in the Master? The bloody hoses are ugly and clumsy, to say the least! Who actually grabs the hand-held and sprays their bits and pieces...?!? The Foredeck - beautiful loungers! The Aft Cockpit - What do you think... Rotate the configuration so the seating looks aft. Have a mechanical knee wall (mounted flush to the floor where the "Non Crew Cabin" is) that pops up to about 36" high, with a TV within that, that telescopes up for viewing? Let Prestige Yachts know I also do consulting on the side...! 😉
I’ve noticed a few things after viewing a lot of your boat tours. First, being a “petrolhead” (gearhead over here) I see a lot of the Volvo Penta drive systems in the 10-25m boats, and above that they seem to favor MAN, though it is more varied in the larger craft. Second is, the form of the boat particularly below 25m, (but the larger are not immune) seems to dictate layout within a fairly slim number of deck plans. I think the exception I saw was the one from a Polish builder, which I really liked. So, questions: Would you consider doing a article or two on the propulsion systems and layouts and maybe point out highlights or odd picks in that area? Do you see the same thing I’m noting, and do you have a list (favorites?) of the innovations that stepped away from the norm? Last, any thoughts on stepping somewhat off the beaten path and doing classics, older but still modern era boats etc? Just making suggestions, I’m intrigued by your access, since I’ll likely never be able to afford such boats.
Yet another superb small yacht tour Capt’n Nick. By the way sir, I’ve changed my YT username. As “Grandpa the Grey”, I was getting far too much disrespect for being an old geezer. Obviously, “Old Geezer Lives Matter” doesn’t matter at all with today’s youngsters (anyone under 30). From this day until the long dirt nap I’ll use the nickname bestowed upon me long, long ago and far, far away in the 80’s when I lived on my sailboat & delivered yachts….. PirateChucker. <<<< It's a long story involving uninvited guest.
Question here. So I’ve noticed that in these style of boats all of the hobs are flat set ups rather than on a gimble. Do they not offer that as an option for those who maybe doing actual passages? I feel although you could spend a good amount of time on this and probably do some distance, you wouldn’t want to be warming your soup up on that during a crossing.
I like it. It’s at entry level size for a yacht but covers all the bases, full beam master, VIP, en suite baths, stern room could be a kid’s suite for that bit more capacity and company. 8 way owners club, only 47 grand brand new. financed like a house or car, basically anyone can afford it. No excuse not to be a baller on instagram 🙂 “only” guaranteed access 4-5 weeks a year out of the warm med period and likely as much as you want because most don’t vacation that much. It’s like it’s all yours. Always available. I quite like the white galley elements, accented by the delicate wood. Nice new luxury elegance, no missteps of design. I’d probably go for the fly variant over speed for the added experience.
What puzzles me, and correct me if I’m wrong, In all boats such as this one, when the bathroom is small and they place the shower in the same compartment with the toilet, I didn’t see any toilet paper holder besides the toilet, or in other boats, they just place a normal exposed toilet paper holder, which will be soaked with shower water if you forget to take it out before using the shower, with all this luxury expensive boats and tons of innovative ideas and solutions for everything imaginable, they don’t bother to place a protected toilet paper holder embedded in a wall or cabinet besides the toilet, whether behind a small shutter, hinged or pivoted type, definitely they can do that easily instead of just ignoring it and let the burden be on the user not to forget to take the toilet paper roll in his hand when he goes to toilet. best regards to the best boats reviewer.
Nick, can’t help but say aspects of this one don’t look “box fresh”…. the trims look weathered as do the rams for them, the hull looks patchy and the cockpit table and teak floor look weathered…. Obviously, it could have sat about (probably afloat) for a while…. ?? Otherwise, your usual, fine, all areas tour on a nice looking boat…. 🙂
Nice boat nick. Wouldn’t be nice to own something like that eh Nick. If I were in a position to buy one I would have to change the parked position of the windscreen wiper arms. Keep up the good work. I think we need some more affordable 30-40 ft boats. Oh yes I must say it isn’t the back or front it’s the stern or forward. Lol.
Really nice boat and excellent tour as always – thanks Nick! As an expat in California I often think of having a base in the UK and, of course, ponder the options of a boat for that. I love the sport cruiser look, but have been drawn to fly bridges for the option of completely open boating and enclosed cabin with heating and air conditioning. Would you consider doing side-by-side comparisons of both? I imagine there are pros and cons to each and your insight would be really valuable. Thanks again!
Another beautiful boat with a very well designed and welcoming master cabin which, to my mind at least, worked batter than some of the multimillion-pound vessels featured recently which seemed primarily designed to give the owner the best view possible of their bath. The crew cabin was interesting, I agree that it would be unusual to have a crew on this size of boat but for a family of three or four, it would be great. Of course, it makes a very useful storage space although I think I’d prefer some sort of access from the hi-lo platform rather than the hatch arrangement. As always an ace article…
Love perusal all the boats you review but most of us can’t afford, so you allow us to dream. There is something I’ve noticed on lots of these sports style boats compared to the trawler style, there seems to be lots of sharp edges, corners and door handles that can cause injury in choppy waters. Your SB2 review showed rounded furnishings which seems much better for running in a bit of a chop.
