Meet The skippers : MV Freedom

When Nick Burnham, the voice and lens behind the Aquaholic YouTube channel, stepped aboard MV Freedom in Weymouth, it wasn’t just another yacht tour—it was a celebration of purpose, passion, and people.

MV Freedom, a specially adapted motor vessel offering accessible sea trips for people with disabilities, welcomed Nick for a relaxed afternoon alongside the skipper and volunteer crew. With the sun glinting off the water and Weymouth’s historic harbour as the backdrop, Nick explored the vessel’s unique layout, designed to ensure everyone can enjoy the thrill of being out at sea.

The video captures more than just the boat—it’s a tribute to the team behind it. Nick chats with the skipper about the challenges and joys of running such a service, and shares laughs with the crew as they recount memorable moments from past trips. His signature style—curious, warm, and always respectful—shines through as he highlights the vessel’s features, from the wheelchair-accessible deck to the thoughtful safety adaptations.

This isn’t your typical Aquaholic tour. It’s a reminder that boating isn’t just about luxury—it’s about freedom, inclusion, and the joy of sharing the sea.
