£1 Million Princess 60 - How much does it cost to buy and run this boat per year?

[@buoyohbuoy790]

If this boat was initially sold back in 2016, does it mean EU VAT has been paid? If not, what would be the price of the boat ex VAT?

Unfortunately in the real world the depreciation is far greater than that, I was the skipper of a brand new Princess 65 flybridge yacht which cost us £1.1m and it arrived from the factory with 168 faults which took princess 3 years to put right. At the end of 3 years the boat was perfect and we sold her for £550,000. The owner had about 60 nights on board in all that time. They really are a huge hole in the water to throw your money into, but fabulous fun.

[@spacewalktraveller1]

Wow, that was a lot to loose in 3 years. Just in depreciation that works out to 9,166 pound per night. Then you put your wage in, fuel, insurance etc that works out to a lot of money for one night. Spending all that money, it must have been an amazing amount of fun each night? You are right though, they are a huge hole in the water to throw your money into.

[@captaindave47]

@@spacewalktraveller1 yes it does not make any sense to buy a new yacht, my advice would be to buy them at 5 years old when everything has been done to them all faults ironed out and lots of servicing has been done, they should still look new but for a third of the new price.

[@spacewalktraveller1]

@@captaindave47 Thanks for the reply. I was surprised when you said the boat had 168 fault, I though Princess was a top notch boat builder and they took 3 years to fix the problems. I'll take your advise and get a second hand boat, otherwise you are throwing a lot of money away.

[@darthkek1953]

>>At the end of 3 years the boat was perfect and we sold her for £550,000 Was this during the 2008 financial crash or something? Was this part of a deal that might be partly money laundering? Similar models that are over 10 years old are currently going for a few hundred thousand more than that.

[@captaindave47]

@@spacewalktraveller1 no it was before the financial crisis of 2008. We had it on the market for quite a while before accepting that offer, we were planning on buying a new 25 meter yacht but the owner for cancer and the family decided to get out of boating until they knew the outcome. I think that's why they took the low offer. It's always a buyer's market when it comes to boats.

This 60 and the 56 are by a absolute country mile the best value on the market for a family owner run boat! When you look at today's new boat prices this 60 and 56 are an absolute bargain! Both have kitchen and separate dianette plus a large saloon without it used as dinning like newer models that don't have a separate dianette seating! 3 great sized cabins beautifully crafted fast top speed if needed and fantastic outdoor space for summer! You can get into almost every marina! A lot of people don't realize A lot of marinas won't accept any boat over 60 feet! Princess boats don't age in the looks they are modern and elegant and timeless! Great video happy sailing all!! 🛥⚓and God bless all 🙏❤

[@r0bbyr0b98]

Great video. Ive never seen a video talking about the costs in such detail. We all hear the silly figures of superyachts, so to see figures for 60ft boats is realistic. Out of interest, what is the ratio of your customers who buy in cash vs finance to purchase a typical 60ft Princess?

[@Boatscouk]

A pleasure, I would say at the moment 50/50 but it changes monthly for lots of reasons 🤩

[@gulag8735]

Well at that level it may be cheaper to buy on finance thereby maintaining your lump sum for investment at a higher rate of return rather than a boat of depreciating value.

[@gomezadams9900]

Great Video and Great job explaining some of the costs, which I should point out are subjective. Obviously the fuel costs you mentioned would vary depending on how much cruising one does in a year. If you pay cash which I'm sure some people can do, then the financing and interest normally attached to it would be void. In North America as I am then berthing could be cheaper depending on the location and the Marina. Again some people might be berthing their yacht at their home which is located on the water front. Insurance I assume would also depend on whether you are a seasoned boater or new to the market. Having said all that I did like the fact that you gave your best attempt to make people more aware what the costs of ownership really are. Some things which I always look for which I think you didn't mention is; What is the beam length? What size is the black water and fresh water tanks. What is the cost of pumping out the black water tank? Thanks

[@johningham4942]

Another informative tour James as always, it was both humorous and serious floss test and "shout" Windows included! It was nice of you to include the full cost of running a boat, not often seen by other yacht brokers James, must be a "first!"

Thanks for the video it was interesting. Just one question. Why did you sit on the kitchen bench and read out how much it cost to run a boat?

[@jonrd463]

Wonderful video! Would you happen to have fuel mileage if most of the traveling was done at displacement speeds? I'm guessing 8-12 knots for a boat like that, correct? I know that this type of boat is designed to cruise on plane, but for coastal cruising such as on the east coast of the US, many times it's more about the journey than the destination, so speed isn't really a factor except in cases of emergency or outrunning a storm. Thank you!

[@Boatscouk]

Yes it should use less than half that 😎

[@darthkek1953]

If that's your plan you're much better off getting a semi-displacement hull. You'll still be able to out-gun a storm but your displacement mileage will be a lot better.

The boatyards I work in, (or river) most just get red diesel delivered which costs between £0.90p to £1.25 a litter depending on how much you buy etc, But with the reforms now on when you get it delivered or from a fuel barge etc, you will need to get a duty rebate of 46.81PPL making diesel around £1.20LT.

So it's about 10% Runnings of boat price. As for £60k capital usually is a lowercapital repayment in years 1 to 4 and higher interest, but depending on the rate you should be able to work the sweet spot which gives you the optimum time upgrade. It would be good to work with customers to find the right time. Also helps you market products to maximise your and your customers best options.

Yes but be careful as it can vary a lot from boat to boat
