Is this the ultimate owner-operator yacht for the Pacific Northwest? In this episode of YachtLens, we are in Seattle aboard the Horizon V68β€”a 70-foot skylounge motoryacht that feels closer to a 100-foot superyacht. I’m joined by Eli Arvidson from Horizon Yachts to break down why this vessel is specifically spec'd for serious cruising in the PNW. From the massive glass sections that bring the outside in, to the fully enclosed skylounge that acts as a second salon, we explore how this boat balances luxury with the practical realities of running a boat yourself. We also dive deep into the engine room to check out the twin CAT C18 ACERTs and ask the hard questions about range, build quality, and system redundancy. If you are looking for a yacht that a couple can handle comfortably from Seattle to Alaska, this walkthrough is for you. βš“ Horizon V68 Specs & Info: https://horizonyacht.com/models/v/v68 βš“ Horizon Yachts: https://horizonyacht.com CONTACT ELI ARVIDSON: For inquiries about the V68 or Horizon Yachts in the PNW: πŸ“§ Email: eli@horizonyachtusa.com πŸ“ž Horizon Yacht USA: +1 206-649-0253 SUBSCRIBE TO YACHTLENS: Don't miss our next honest yacht tour.

Forget the constant upgrade cycle! I'm showing you my 74-foot beautyβ€”a vessel I'd confidently point toward any ocean on Earth right now. We're talking thousands of miles every summer proving this platform's grit, even with electronics older than some of my crew! Planning epic group adventures up to Georgia and the Broughtons? We manage it flawlessly with a naturalist and mechanic onboard to handle anything. Plus, if you want to truly learn to handle a boat, I use the San Juans every spring to put students right at the helm. Supervision is key, but the hands-on experience is priceless. Reliability beats flashing screens every time. #UnitedYachtSales #LuxuryYachtTour #ExpeditionYacht #YachtMaintenance #OwnerQandA #TrawlerYacht #RobinsonModifiedMonk #ElizabethRuth #CustomYacht #YachtRefit #YachtLens #BlueWaterYacht #BoatWalkthrough #PacificNorthwestYachts #trawler #longrangecruising #boattravel #yachtlife #marineelectronics #oceancrossing #boatingtips #powerboat

This vessel, Elizabeth Ruth, has been my entire worldβ€”from childhood dreams to a 40-hour work week on the water, plus every vacation stacked on top. I poured my soul into the complete rebuild and refit of every system, and she has been magnificent. Yet, moving on is perhaps the most difficult choice I've faced in years. It’s simply time to trade the helm for a new horizon and allow someone else the immense joy of caring for this incredible boat. This is the story behind saying farewell. #BoatWalkthrough #UnitedYachtSales #OwnerQandA #ElizabethRuth #RobinsonModifiedMonk #PacificNorthwestYachts #TrawlerYacht #ExpeditionYacht #BlueWaterYacht #CustomYacht #YachtRefit #YachtLens #LuxuryYachtTour #YachtMaintenance #boatforsale #yachtlife #sailboat #boatingadventures #vessel #marine #difficultdecision #refit #cruising #goodbye
