It goes without saying that yachts are purchased by wealthy people, but why would somebody who has made the accumulation of wealth their focus for so long suddenly make a decision to buy an asset that some refer to as a "hole in the water that swallows money"?
Here are three reasons why...

[@robertfrost1683]

Life is about collecting memories. And a yacht does create memories.

[@scottprice8994]

Robert Frost, a poet? :)

[@darkvador6437]

1. Because it's awesome. 2. Because I want one. 3. Because it's awesome.

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

You forgot 4 and 5... 4. because it's awesome 5. because it's awesome

6.9 "Everything" is better on a yacht.

[@grondhero]

Even though I'll unlikely own multiple homes and extra vehicles, those reasons work well for me as well. Simply watching yacht videos can be relaxing.

[@johnnyguitar2929]

I’ve had a pretty good year financially. Hope to buy a sailing yacht soon to spend the weekends with my family.

[@shabasRS]

Congratulations & all the best on your new yachting adventure

[@Mesozoic_mammal]

Wow! Congratulations! All the best for your journey. My wife and I are still saving to retire early one day and sail around the world, as well. :-)

[@joecarson3379]

Good on ya...hope you enjoy the boat...very much deserved I'm sure!

[@marcuswilliams4352]

@@Mesozoic_mammal hi dear do you need help getting a new boat

[@MIAthe305]

I pass by Utopia IV every day on my drive home from class at University of Miami, it’s a huge motivation for me. So buying a yacht for me will likely be a way of confirming with myself that I’ve become successful to the level that I can afford an incredible luxury like a yacht

[@markuswunsch]

Especially 1 and 2 were reasons for me to become a liveaboard 😊 Hence with regards to loosing money I’d say it really depends on how you see things as there is obviously no direct return from the yacht itself but the mental health and other positive side effects of being on the water are invaluable and can pay huge dividends to any business owner. Speaking of me personally that definitely holds true and - along with some other changes - already benefited my startups. This said, I now got my eyes set on a 20 year old Perini with an interior designed by the genius Christian Liaigre…

[@FLGurl]

I always look forward to your videos. It gives me a very enchanting opportunity to live vicariously in a place I am not able to do (currently). Thank you.

[@chrisardern4594]

Why 1 I want one why 2 I can afford one why 3 why not why 4 it will really annoy my ex wife.

[@jonrd463]

David, I'm eagerly looking forward to the upcoming videos with all the information you intend to share. I don't know if an actual yacht or a smaller day boat is in my near future, but I hope to be on something with an engine that floats in the next year or 2, and this kind of insider knowledge on the logistical details is exactly the kind of stuff I'm soaking up. Thank you!

[@joewatts3023]

Hi David, loved the video!!! I can also tell a big difference in the sound quality. The new gear and location is definitely paying dividends!!! The mic makes you sound like a professional radio dj!!! If I may be so bold, I would highly recommend some absorption panels on the walls to reduce the room reverberation, and placing a de-esser in your software to reduce the harsh S and T frequencies. Love the channel, Keep up the great work.

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Great video explaining the quandary :) Thanks for the episode!

[@johngauntlett4915]

David, if I ever hit the Powerball I plan on doing a lot of relaxing on something like an 80 ft Viking. Fishing the Gulf of Mexico and the Bahama chain. Informative videos always.

[@aah4587]

If I ever become a billionaire .. I’ll buy a yacht from you and let you narrate my story 👏🏼

[@chrish2996]

Hi David. Get on the water. Everything is always better. Total relaxation and privacy. Looking up at the stars with no light pollution, no crowds, pure bliss. Great video thanks 😊

[@stephenb7333]

you hit the nail on the head david.it really is intoxicating..;)

[@rudideghelt]

Hello David, I can't wait to see more of these videos.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@JR-jj2dh]

Inspirational. Good look with your wise to find your own yacht.

[@JyttesTrailCamera]

That was a good one. Thank you 😊 ... and, should you ever get a chance to get on the new Victorious, that'd be a great one to have a look at, she's got an interesting layout!

[@seantwomey396]

David, buying a yacht celebrates your success but more importantly it gives you quality time with your family. Priceless.

[@svulcans9952]

David im looking forward to learning more from you , on all there is a yacht. i dont do instigram but i relly like you channel

[@axtrion888]

A very rich man I knew told me "if it flys, floats or fornicates" ---- "RENT IT" !!!

[@seanthornton9969]

In Florida the US Coast Guard gives training for new boat owners on rules of boat handling, safety and navigation. My Grandfather took my brother and I to one of these courses the three of us attended this series of training sessions. The price was minimal and gave a good start to your future boating adventures.

[@Graphics_Card]

Wait really? I’m a Floridian as well looking for a yacht, they teach that?

[@cbhlookout821]

Hey David ,my dad use to own sailboats that we could sleep on. They were not yachts but big enough to sleep on. It was great to be on the water and I hope to someday figure to get there on the water. Maybe buy a small boat or tender or even a jet ski to get back on the water. I do live sort of close to FL :)

[@marcuswilliams4352]

Hi dear do you need help getting a new boat?

[@thomasw5430]

Nice discussion David. While I agree with the three reasons you gave, I would have to add another reason-exploration. It’s the primary reason I think the expedition class has taken off in recent years. Paul Allen didn’t build Octopus to sit near the beaches in the Caribbean, he built it for exploration. Much like some of the other owners of these amazing explorer types. Then again, I may have put my own bias on this selection, as it would be my reason for owning a yacht if I could afford it. I love traveling off the beaten path, and for me no better place than the water to do it. My dream is to travel through the Pacific and the Ring of Fire” and see everything in it. Then head to the arctic and Antarctic regions.

[@reefwiz99]

If you have the cash, it's about passion. Look at the upcoming Heesen Akira. It's the most beautiful yacht design put to paper in my eyes. It's proportions and balance are flawless. At 57 meters, it's not a giant but it's certainly a SUPER yacht. Anyone can buy a large triple deck boat for family vacations but I want something that makes my knees weak when I look at her.

Thanks Anthony...you may have noticed the improved audio equipment, I hope to convert some of these to podcast too so watch this space! 😁

Liking the new studio and the audio is markedly improved! How long are you going to be working out of the Ft Lauderdale office?

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Thanks! I'll be here until mid December and then back again in January.

[@alisavas9526]

Sorry what was the third reason? Oh... I get it 🤭 Great video as always!

[@paulcunningham2859]

I remember that video on what is better on yachts food and sex were the big ones works for me

[@privatesecurityafrica4129]

I agree!!!

[@marcel24101972]

i believe you can sell ice cream to an eskimo.. And i mean that positive...😉

1 reason not to buy a yacht: no money lol

[@shabasRS]

"Yet" my friend

[@adinurhadi7826]

I do anything in yacht is better.... I love that word...

[@Ron-zr6se]

David, The fourth reason to buy a yacht is the unparalleled freedom that a yacht can give. While on the yacht, I have no schedule, I can go where I want, when I want and can just set back and enjoy life.

[@max930]

Good evening, nice video to know where we set foot, personally I am inquiring about several points the best measure to navigate on all seas, the cost of annual returns, the number of passengers, the number of staff (full-time every day). year) etc etc and in return soon spend the next 10 years with a dream from a child (soon to retire after we go to the purchase) See you soon. PS: thank you for the penultimate video which explains the food waste process.

[@max930]

waste .... sorry : sorry for my English

[@Mesozoic_mammal]

Ok now we understand why. Now we need the how. Could you make another video on "3 ways to be able to afford a yacht"? Please feel free to be creative. Ideas like piracy, organ trafficing, guinea pig farming, diamond mining in kongo, anything that helps us being able to buy one of these yachts is welcome. ;-)

[@jwyzdm]

The answer you are looking for is quit simple really. Just create a product or service that enough people are willing to pay you for. But if that fails or you don't have enough talent to be successful in the private sector, then get into politics to lie and cheat your way to wealth.

[@atlassilverbraid]

Fantastic. I am sure the right yacht will find you in divine order through divine love. I did always wonder, where is your yacht? I must also ask since you worked at a ship builder, would you not want to "build" one?

[@sheumais63]

So you could say yacht sales are buoyant. I'll get my coat

[@bruticusmagnus]

I find being in a tree stand provides all 3 of those items.

[@GPGiorgioPoletti]

ITA: Buongiorno David. Grazie per questi interessanti video. Forse questo è il posto giusto per fare questa domanda che mi gira in testa da un po'.... Ha senso acquistare uno yacht solo per business? Il noleggio potrebbe coprire le spese di acquisto e di mantenimento? ENG translate: Good morning David. Thanks for these interesting videos. Maybe this is the right place to ask this question that has been in my head for a while .... Does it make sense to buy a yacht just for business? Could the rental cover the purchase and maintenance costs?

[@jaquigreenlees]

yes it can, although it is a big job to start getting the bookings. smaller yachts can also but are harder to break even on maintenance since they are less likely to have crew with them.

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Buongiorno Giorgio e grazie per aver guardato il video! Onestamente, e quasi impossibile guadagnare con l'acquisto di uno yacht. Il rischio é molto alto. Fare charter é un modo per ridurre i costi, ma non per fare un business.

3 Great reasons to buy a yacht.

[@nassiwaalice6657]

Am 19years am looking forward to make huge sums of money my first dream is to the largest yacht I need your help if am to buy which the two the 229meters varlkrie or 225meters double century thanks for that answer

[@marcuswilliams4352]

Hi dear do you need help getting a new boat?

[@HANSRUDBECKDAHL]

David did you not want to put a link to your friends Insta account in the description?

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Thanks for the reminder. One link was on screen, but I've added another link in the description

[@v12kid]

The correct answer is "because" :)

[@firstnamesecondname5341]

So taking a 💩 on a yacht is better 🤦🏻‍♂️😜🤪🤣 On a serious note though, yes, having a way to just get away and refresh the mind has incalculable value, happiness is not of monitory value but in life value

[@rockets4kids]

You forgot The Implication.

[@mapuc]

Freedom to sail the seven seas. Is why I would buy a superyacht, if I had the money

[@joeldelamirande5792]

Start small

[@richmiller2501]

hahaha you sound my wife.

[@sdtok527]

Now do 3 reasons to charter a yacht haha

[@JUKA..AHA.]

I know why.! Just i dont have the money.

[@marcuswilliams4352]

You can also buy a boat from my company and pay bit by bit with full insurance let me know if your interested

[@jupiterjones3789]

Why are yachts selling that great right now? Lower taxes, higher prices for stock and real estate, combined with a pandemic where people do not travel that much and are with smaller groups?

[@akdrn3624]

Ok, you eventually convinced me. What €500 can get me?

[@marcuswilliams4352]

Hi dear do you need help getting a new boat?

Guess you forgot Juan's link...

It was on screen, but I've just added it to the description too.

[@didierpuzenat7280]

Just read a book in your best armchair, it will change your mind and you will relax. And not aggravating climate change will probably make you feel good. If you do not know what to do with your money, what's about a pay rise for your employes ?

[@ViengsinakhoneLeuang]

EVERYTHING ON A YACHT IS BETTER. THE ONLY REASON YOU NEED TO CHARTER OR BUY A YACHT.

[@norarivkis2513]

Actually, David, _you_ may mostly deal with the people who can afford multiple homes and car collections and everything you talk about, but that's simply not every yacht owner. There are many people who are either determined enough boat people that they buy a yacht the way they would buy a house, and then live aboard full time; or who love yachting enough to put all of their "pleasure money" into it, and save for the yacht of their dreams. Most people can afford one significant luxury if it's all they want and they build their lives around it, even if they're never so wealthy that they can afford to casually own whatever catches their eye. I know your own company has sold some yachts for less than seven figures, because I've looked at the asking prices in its listings. That's not out of reach for many people who are prepared to sell their home and move aboard full time, still less if they join forces with another family and do it together. I understand that you largely work within the high-market end of what's already an expensive industry, but please don't forget the existence of those of us who substitute a lavish amount of passion and a bit of money for a lavish amount of money and a bit of passion.

[@grondhero]

As someone who falls into the "not rich" category, all the reasons David listed work for me as well, so he didn't overlook me.

[@norarivkis2513]

@@grondhero It's not that the reasons he gave don't work. It's everything he kept saying about how "If you're thinking of buying a yacht, you probably have all these other things already..." e.g. you probably have multiple homes and a luxury car collection and all that. Um, no, not necessarily. Nor is any of that necessary to want to relax and get out onto the water, as you point out yourself. So there's not really any need to throw it in. It doesn't make any of the reasons more essential -- they're true about anyone who loves boats enough to put the money they do have into spending their time on one, whether that's a huge amount or a medium amount. All it does is to reinforce the concept that if you _don't_ have multiple houses and luxury car collections, you don't matter to David.

[@grondhero]

@@norarivkis2513 You're creating a biased response based on false facts. He started out explaining how he's looking to buy his own yacht, and the first person he spoke to originally bought a 25 foot boat. Your inaccurate portrayal of "It's everything he kept saying about how 'If you're thinking of buying a yacht, you probably have all these other things already...' " didn't even come up until _after_ he'd listed all three reasons, pointing out that the people that have all these items, still go for a yacht because of what it can do for you.

[@norarivkis2513]

@@grondhero If you want to believe that, go ahead. Everyone has their own interpretation and I'm not interested in fighting with you. The facts are that the first mention of "... you might have a beautiful house; you probably have several beautiful houses, if you're a yacht owner. You can stay in the best hotels -- and probably again, if you're a yacht owner, you spend a lot of time in hotels," comes at about 2:28, in the discussion of reason #1. It hardly "doesn't even come up into after all three reasons." But it doesn't really matter; what matters is that different understandings of his words can exist, and a good salesperson would want to know if their words were leaving people -- especially potential clients -- feeling shut out. Either David meant to shut out anyone who wasn't supremely wealthy -- which I don't really think he did -- or he'd want to know that that's how he sounded to some people, so that he can be more conscious of the way he chooses his language next time. Knowing him to be a good salesman, I think the second is more likely, so I told him what it had sounded like to me. Trying to shut down such information because you take it for criticism doesn't actually do David, or any serious salesperson, any favors.
