The Interior of This 62' STEEL EXPEDITION SHIP Will Shock You [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

While we were in San Diego we got the opportunity to film another boat tour for you guys. We're really excited about this one because it's going to be a pretty unique boat and quickly I just want to remind you guys if you enjoy our videos please hit that like and subscribe button it really helps us a lot. Thank you in advance and without further ado let's get to the tour. So this tour is going to be a lot different than our typical boat tours. If you look at this vessel you'll notice it doesn't have any sails. It looks a lot like a commercial fishing vessel. I wonder why. But it has been upgraded to do a lot of different things other than fishing now. It's been brought out of the fisheries program so it can no longer be a fishing vessel but it can be a personal vessel, a research vessel, or do things like eco tours. So we're going to go ahead and show you around. First off they added on a giant swim platform. Randy for scale. Everything on this boat is quite large so. I'm gonna go ahead and step aboard. All right let's go right. All right so heading onto the ship. So obviously you have this huge aft deck here. So what was the like working deck on the fishing boat is now more of a usable space. There is a crane that they put in which you can use for your dinghy or for different projects that you might be involved in with this ship. Tons of things. So this thing can go all the way from back on the stern and lift your dinghy up and you can even put it all the way up there on that top deck. So this thing extends out a ton. So we've got an aft compartment back here. So this is a nice big storage compartment. It goes way down back in there. So later we'll go inside the cabins and you'll see above the berths there are some hatches that would lead to this. And we just have tons of space for activities. Grill out here. Live out here. If this was your boat you can always put a cover over this. Obviously there's no cover right now but there's lots of potential for that. That is going to be the main saloon. The main living area. We're going to go up to the bridge deck because we typically do like the outside first. That kind of thing even though we are kind of going inside. So we are now up here near the bridge deck. We're going to go around the front first. Then we'll go in. So most recently this was used as a research vessel. Would you still call this a windlass? It's a big anchor winch windlass. We've got our bow right here. We're about 20 feet up. I've got the baby on my chest so I'm a little worried. But she's okay. Nice view from out here. It's actually a beautiful view. There's your bridge deck. I like the angled windows to protect from the sun like causing a heat box in here basically. Yeah so like the angled forward windows provide better vision at night typically as well as you don't get that greenhouse effect as much when the sun's beating straight down. Now we'll go inside the pilot house. This is just going to be tons of storage. This whole thing. You can access it from either side. Those lines are so thick. Alright so the entry into the pilot house is right here. Here we are. Would you look at that guys. So everything's been redone and refinished. So we've got beautiful wood everywhere. We've got this seat right here. Nice comfortable spot to pilot the boat from. Got all our electronics. Throttle. And then look at that view. Can't complain about that. Would you be comfortable in this pilot house? Yes. In inclement weather? Yes. Yeah. And you can just stay up here if it's really bad. Yeah longer passages. You know you can have someone sleeping and then someone at the helm. Got little storage areas and places for electronics. This is awesome. I can see why someone would like the convenience, the protection of a trawler. Then back here this was going to be another head but it never really got finished. You can see the exhaust from the furnace right there. So we're going to head out of the pilot house and up above the pilot house to like the top deck. So a little sketchy getting up here with the baby but you know got to be really careful. This is the top deck. You can see there is the exhaust for the fireplace. There's a life raft right there. Big commercial life raft. Even more crazy view. Can't complain about that. Turn it aft. So you've got this huge heavy duty arch that you know it's just holding instruments right now. Antennas. It was originally a fishing vessel but now it's not necessary if someone wanted to take it down. Yeah so you can either take it down or build something off of it. It's got potential. We're going to head down now so you can go up from there and go up from there up to that pilot house. And we're going to go in the main saloon. So entering here. Got a little bit of art right here. This is copper it looks like. A little bit of weathered copper. It really looks cool. Down below. Granted floor with a little inlay right there. And then looking forward. This is just absolutely elegant. I'm going to go in the middle and do a 360 and I'm going to shut up because I think it speaks for itself. All right this is absolutely beautiful in here. Randy what do you think about it? I thought it was so unexpected when we walked in here just how much they went into making this a like beautiful living space. I just want to say because I have to make one comment about the interior of this boat as well as the exterior. I just love the contrast between the two. The contrast between the really elegant luxurious interior and the commercial looking exterior. I think it's just a really cool combination. My understanding was the previous owner wanted to do eco tours up in Alaska so they wanted something that could withstand the weather but also be comfortable for guests on board and I think this would be a really cool use for this vessel. So this is the galley. We've got a full size fridge. Range. It looks like a household range. A microwave. A lot of storage space. I think this is a trash compactor. Looks like it. Yeah it's gonna be a trash compactor. I used to have one of those when I grew up. This kitchen might have more cabinet space than our current kitchen at home. Comparable. I'm interested in the headliner. It's like velvet. Yeah. Going forward from the galley you have the eating area so you've got like a nice lounge chair there and then some additional seats. You've got some nice woodwork moving forward to what looks like a bookshelf. I feel like this could be a berth above it. It says first officer. Yeah. This looks like a little library area and you have like a little bar area right here. DC and AC panels. Additional. Oh it's actually a big hanging locker with some access. It looks like plumbing behind it. Our storage. There is a hatch. Emergency escape. Warning no illegal drugs. And then this is our. This is the main head really. Just lined with granite. Beautiful. Got those big circular bronze pour lights. Is this a wooden sink? Wooden epoxy. Looks like it's wooden. I was going to say that's the second wooden sink we've seen after Titania. And there's a big separate shower right there. I like the copper tubing for a curtain rod. Yeah. I just I love the style of this boat. It's elegant and yet rustic. Yeah. Like a lot of natural materials like wood and granite. It looks like we've got shades for all these windows too that can pull down which is really nice. Moving aft we have another seating area. It's like a full-size couch. Yeah that's I mean that's definitely bigger than our couch at home. So this actually has a whole binder of pictures of what the boat used to look like when it was a functioning fishing vessel. That's cool. To like just show you the history and the change that went into this. So in this area these big windows that we have they were just port lights but they wanted to bring some natural light in here. Just little things like that. It's cool to see the history of it. Yeah and then right here this is the fireplace. Your burning stove so you can go up in high latitudes and be nice and toasty. All right you want to take us down below? Yes so if you continue all the way aft in this main salon area you have a staircase below. So I'm gonna take over from here. All right so into the engine room. I don't think I had ever walked along an engine room this large prior to this. We have a fuel cleaning station and the previous owner took a lot of time to make sure he left you a manual. If you use too much fuel on one side and you're listing one way exactly which way to turn all the valves to make it not do that any longer. And I'm not going to pretend to know what everything is but I'll let you guys view it all and just see how much there is. So all the way in the forward portion of the engine compartment these are battery boxes so you've got a large house bank so you can just get a sense of the massive nature of this. I'm ducking occasionally but I basically just walked through this area and I'm almost five seven. I've seen engine rooms on bigger yachts more cramped than this so this is an awesome engine room. Five foot seven inches. I don't know what the centimeters for that is but I can stand right here but obviously there's some things that I have to duck under. Let's go aft. So there's the engine room and we're gonna go aft now. All right so it's a little dark down here but we're gonna step into the first cabin. And it's it looks nice down here it's not as finished. No yes definitely not as finished down here. Not as finished as above but it still is livable. So they were designing this to be like island berth which with an attached head and this is a full head it has a separate standing shower. So as we said it's a little bit darker down here. I tried to get all the lights on but I I don't think they all work on just battery but it's still pretty nice. Everything is looks like to be tiled down here looks to be maybe marble or travertine or travertine still very elegant. That's like a normal household toilet right there. I'm going across. This is another island berth. This one actually has storage below which I thought was a nice touch. It's a nice little cabin right here. And again another full head attached. It actually has some hangings a hanging rod for like the towels and things as well as a full standing shower which I will get out of the way for. Just lots of accommodation for lots of people on this boat and pretty good accommodation at that. Continuing farther aft this was originally where all of the fish that were caught were deposited below but they have made it into two different berths. One cabin two berths. Yeah this is a big cabin. The headroom's a little less back here. I could Randy can still stand. I hit my head. And then I believe right there is where that yeah there's that storage compartment you have access to right there in the back of the boat on both sides. And then up on deck I showed you a hatch that would be this one. There's another one near image to that that goes through to the deck right up there. Cool. All right so as usual guys I'm going to do the continuous below decks walk through. It's going to be a little bit different because this boat is definitely set up differently than most of the boats we tour but let's go ahead and do it. So starting up here in the main saloon we've got our little bar area. Looking aft there's our main saloon. We've got our main eating area our galley starboard there. To port we've got our main settee. Massive main settee. Our fireplace going aft. Here's our galley. Beautiful beautiful galley. Huge and workable. Turning around we're going to go down below now. There's our engine room to forward. Turning aft starboard we have one big cabin. Separate head. Separate shower. Going across to port got another cabin. Another head with a separate shower. And finally big old aft cabin. Two big queen-size berths. Storage in the far aft section and there's your other berth. That's it guys. So obviously this was quite a bit different than our past boat tours but what did you think of this vessel overall? I thought it was awesome. Yeah yeah definitely has a lot of character a lot of forethought in what they wanted to do making this more of like an eco tour kind of vessel. It's pretty we keep saying unique or different but I mean it really is it's not typical. I think I said it in the video but I just want to reiterate it. I really really loved the contrast between the industrial fishing aspect of the exterior of the boat and then you know kind of the elegant interior of the boat. We really liked it a lot. Yeah looking at the outside it's just not something that you expect walking into the boat. So it's very just yeah that contrast is awesome. Yeah and then obviously livability and ease of navigability of this boat. You know it's got the pilot house that you can see everything from up there and you're completely protected in inclement weather. Below that you've got a huge amount of living area and a huge amount of accommodation. A huge aft deck. I mean it's a massive ship. Yeah absolutely. The one thing I would say is that obviously this still needs work. They didn't get to finish everything that they were trying to accomplish. So it's a project like a lot of the boats that we tour or really every boat is a project. So just know that you're taking something on that you would have to put some more work into. Yeah and obviously you know this boat is set up for diesel. It's got diesel engines. It's got a diesel generator. It's got that huge engine room down below but you guys know how I think. I think this would be an awesome vessel to set up as a diesel electric hybrid. You know and you could put tons of solar on it. So yeah I mean it's just a really cool boat. There is a lot of opportunity for solar but that engine room is huge as you've already said. So I mean there's a lot you could probably do in there to make it work for electric. Yeah I mean this boat is a massive platform for an off-the-grid lifestyle on the water.
