280k Sunseeker Portofino 47 - How much does it cost to own (and run) a boat like this?

[@jonahlloyd3149]

I worked as a broker / salesman / IT in the yacht brokerage world for many years in the 90s and 00s, the one thing I learned above all else was never buy your own boat, borrow someone else's. Portofino was a superb boat I borrowed one a few times, the Princess V 40s were better quality though in the day. Dunno what Sunseeker are like now I have not been on anything more glamorous than a fishing boat for years now. Interesting video, brought back some good memories.

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thanks Jon. I can borrow our stock boats but there is nothing to bear the feeling of owning your own boat - I do practice what I preach 🤩

[@jaffaholland4039]

Thank you, love the fact that you are honest about engine and floor. Most if all telling it as it is £33k to run a 47 foot boat as a ball park figure. This takes nothing away from the boat but shows real professional sales from a professional sales company. Its clear you want people to be able to both buy and run there boats. Don't worry about the helm as other boat KZbinrs can talk about them.

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thanks for your nice comments Jaffa. I try to tell you all the same things as if you were viewing the boat to buy her. I think it’s important you know the good and the bad. JB

I only came across your channel a few weeks ago and think ive watched them all. You’re the channel that EVERY BOATER / POTENTIAL BOATER needs to see. Ive seen some reviewers gloss over known let downs / visible damage with boats over the years when they are just simply reviewing someone else stock boat… (likely ££ involved and they dont want to not be invited back) as the person selling this boat, you still call a spade a spade. Brilliant. I’ll be keeping an eye on your stock, id buy a boat from you guys over the phone based on your word alone. More vids!!

Great Vid! Thanks for the math. I spent some time converting to US Dollars, and it still makes sense. I'm sold on Sunseekers, just because of the looks. Shoot, I've spent so much on boats in my life, (and by the way, not a penny wasted) My next boat will be a Sunseeker.

[@barrygysbers5632]

Saw this as an ad in game for a shipping app. I never pay attention to the 30 second ads much, but this was a hoot! I watched the entire thing! You could easily do standup, so understated and clever! The only ad better than this one, is the Alkaseltzer Mama Mia TV ad from the 60’s! If I ever get a business going again, I am going to hire you to perform in my advertisements! Tell your boss that I said so. That way, they can’t cry about losing you one day when you get an offer for what you are worth!

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Barry 😂

[@davidperram6890]

Great video! Owned a 48 1991 Searay for 15 years. These numbers are certainly close. I don’t sail as much anymore, (probably 20 hours/year) but fuel and maintenance are tied to each other. Less fuel, less maintenance. The rest is fixed. I budget 20000 but in Portugal which is cheaper. Also I don’t do enough maintenance because it’s difficult to find for a Searay in Portugal. My toes curled at the mention of finance - I was fortunate enough to have the money to buy mine outright. The boat will depreciate as fast as the value of the loan. It’s scary. I never would have bought my boat on finance. Really the numbers to look at are the operating costs. You have to have that money and be comfortable to burn it annually. Otherwise this is really not for you. It will drive you mad and miserable.

[@peterb7734]

Lovely boat and a great team you have there at Boats U.K., looked after me when I bought and sold my boat through them. Give it a couple years (when I’ve retired and got some more time to enjoy boating) and I’ll be down to see you all again.

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Peter. It’s good to hear from you ! 👌

[@ApriliaCollector]

He can make that table disappear, but the boat will make your money vanish even faster. 😄 I’ve have about 10 years of experience with motor yachts, mainly between 60 to 70 feet, typically powered by twin MAN V12 engines. Owning a motor yacht is an incredible experience, but the costs can be overwhelming. In the marina world, everything seems to cost double. A water pump that’s €600 online might be €1200 at a harbor store in France. Why? Because they can. When your pump breaks, you need a quick replacement, and they know it. It’s a “millionaire’s world,” and everyone offering services is charging premium rates. The service can often be poor, and unless you manage the people working on your boat, you’ll end up wasting both time and money. Fuel is another big expense. Diesel prices are sky-high at marinas simply because they know boat owners will pay. A 70-foot motor yacht can have 3000-liter fuel tanks, meaning it costs over €6000 to fill up. The twin MAN V12 engines can burn around 350 liters per hour at a cruising speed of 24 knots. Add to that the fuel consumption of the generator, and you’re looking at €300 a day for the generator and 1000€ for the engines a day. If you’re cruising 15 days a month, that’s about €8000 in diesel alone. Insurance runs around €6000 a year, and if you want to hire a captain, it’s about €4500 per month, plus a deckhand at €3500 per month during the season. Without help, you’ll be spending your holiday working rather than relaxing. If something breaks, like your swim platform in the middle of the season, it can easily ruin your entire holiday, and repairs could cost €30k or more. Things like this happen all the time. At the end of the season, it's best to haul the boat out, which costs around €1500, and putting it in covered storage can be as much as €2600 a month for 8 months. Repainting the hull will cost another €6000, and during this time, you’ll likely get a long list of "necessary" repairs that could total €145k You’ll need to be there in person to verify what's real. Annual maintenance like oil changes, impellers, pumps, and filters will easily run you €25k. If you’re mooring in Ibiza, a 70-foot berth costs €80k a year, and in Antibes, it’s €40k. To be completely honest, owning a 70-foot yacht requires millionaire status just to keep up with the constant expenses. Whether it's a new or old boat, the costs are crazy, and they don't stop in winter. On top of all that, there’s always the chance of damage from other boats or bad weather, which happens often. I owned a 65-foot motor yacht with MAN engines, and despite perfect maintenance, the yearly cost, including berth, crew, and diesel, ranged from €150k to €200k. And don’t forget taxes on top of that. My advice: charter a yacht, don’t buy one. If I have to do it all over? I will do it again 😂😂😂. What a great time me and my family had sailing boats. And we will continue to do so. ❤

@@ApriliaCollector Crikes AC ! Love your feedback . I do agree boating is priceless really. What other machine can move you anywhere in the world with your family and friends and watch the most beautiful scenery ? Nothing 🌅

[@jacktyler7599]

From James' illustration with the 20 pound notes AND his video shot of how close together the engine/V-box/shaft mechanicals are located, another V-drive negative becomes obvious: a less horizontal shaft angle. Couple that with the V-drive mechanicals to service, and one REALLY has to want that larger aft cabin.

I had a 46 foot Sea Sundancer, and had two Cummings diesel engines and it was a great boat, no fumes from the back I put a bottle of wine with a glass of wine on the table in the back and I never even moved to an 18 not cruising the most comfortable party board anyone could Wind, the boat was paid for so I would say it cost about 20,000 a year between dockage and general maintenance not including gas

I was told once that it costs about 10-12 % the original cost if the boat for up keep. That seems inline with what you've estimated.

[@jonaus6171]

£33k might be ball park for running a 47 footer in the UK, but here in the Balearic Islands you can add another £20k for berthing costs! However, we can boat and swim for 7 months from April until at least the end of October, which will make the cost per day used lower.....

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thanks Alex

[@gopher1471]

Lovely boat and one of my favourites at this size, I didn't know you had one, but two things for me as regards the engines and the V drive is that the setup is less fuel efficient than a straight shaft and that doing any stern gland work is very time consuming and thus more costly than other boats, one final thing that people either forget or ignore is that the high low platform also requires maintenance otherwise it could end up sticking when you least want it , yet more cost. Any boat of this size costs about the £30000 mark to maintain , my personal advice would be to put at least £5000 per annum to one side to cover repairs or breakages, she is over 12 years old now after all. Great video BTW and the sound is spot on now. :)

Ok here’s my Boston take away, 42k US dollars ( about 70k if you finance) I was thinking it was a lot of money but then I remembered he was using currency to explain the engines which made me think really what’s money for use it as a prop to explain something of just let it blow around the table it no big deal! I’ll buy two as long as we agree a the definition of a boat is a hole in the water which money flows thru. All joking aside, we’ll done! Informative and entertaining.

[@blewyd]

Thank you for giving us a true and honest review of this boat. Many people don't seem to point out any flaws in their reviews. If sunseeker compromised on the floors and engines, which is visible, I wonder if they also compromised on things like the hull and stringers to save money.

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thank you. If you have the information you can make a better choice 🥳

[@SurreyAlan]

As Nick Burnham reckons he runs his boat in a council marina for about 7k a year it seems costs double for every extra foot, certainly costs a great deal extra to dash along at 20+ knots compared to 7 knots in a semi displacement boat.

You can run it cheaper with lower maintenance and a cheaper berth. Maybe £10k less.

[@benchokwaiman]

I have a 33ft carver motor yacht. Berth cost €1600 Engine maintanance €1500 Painting €1000 Fuel €1000 ---‐---------------- Total: €5100 per year. So go just a bit smaller and your cost will go down significantly. I'm on my boat weekly, but I only sail for 15 minutes to a nice spot to anker the whole day. So fuelcost could differ for your purpose. I was always scared for the cost, but in practice a 33ft boat is very manageble. For me buying a boat was one of the best decisions of my life.
