The ability to go outside of the normal tourist ranges. The far North is at the top of that list followed by Antarctica. This means good extreme latitude communications and a good ice hall. I would therefore try and get something seaxplorer in the Darwin size range as opposed to the more expensive and larger seaxplorer size range. ( Darwin's are typically 200 to 500 gross tons whereas seaxplorer are 2500 to 6500 gross ton vessels.

I was surprised and gratified to see that one of these yachts actually had a library.

[@Boxing4K]

Most of the people who are rich enough to own a super yacht are, IMO, not too bright. Unless you live on it, you are paying staff to crew an unoccupied yacht. That is, of course, unless you lease it out when you're not using it. It would make more sense financially to just lease a yacht when you want to travel.

[@Ahahahhaaah]

@@Boxing4K your comment on the topic is exactly why you’re poor and not rich. you actually think if they can afford that yacht that expenses mean anything to them? no. majority of yacht owners do charter the boats to cover their maintenance for the year. seems like you’re not too bright.

[@Boxing4K]

@@Ahahahhaaah Yeah, and you're a genius I suppose.

[@Ahahahhaaah]

@@Boxing4K nope, but my light still shines unlike yourself. not too bright.

[@aaronjbass]

As a First Mate on a 28m yacht the only inaccuracy I know of is the $1m for 3.3ft. I would say $1m per 3m is a more accurate assessment on the cost of a brand new vessel. Also, an easy evaluation of how much a captain is paid is for every 10 year of direct experience you add $500/per foot per year starting at $1000/pfpy. I know a captain on a 80ft making $300k/yr. Truly lucrative for those who making yachting their career field.

It's funny that the biggest Megas are still about the same size as your average cargo ship.

You forgot about Dilbar the biggest megayacht in the world. 16,000 gross tons.

Dillbar is only #5 by length and #3 by gross tonnage.

[@never2late454]

When it comes to super yacht's bigger isn't always better. Size limits you to where you can, and can't dock. I'd say 60 meters or less is the perfect size. Another thing you didn't touch on is that most used yacht's get a complete refit by the new owners.

10% of the purchase price is the starting point of owning a yacht for each year passed.

[@the_dragon_gamer8850]

Call me practical, but if I want a yacht with a crew, safety supersedes the needs for the luxuries. Most of the yachts I’ve seen don’t have adequate weather protections and realizability I wanted. So I’d consider placing a construction order to my specifications. When you own it, it’s your responsibility to make sure everybody on it; families, guests, and crews alike can be comfortable and safe regardless of the conditions that might apprise. Along with sustainable propulsion system such as hybrid engines (idea of having to unitize electric energy for propulsion uses for either short range trip or something happens to diesel engine) to allow the yacht to have greater range with reduced annualized fuel costs and maintenance as they are in the market recently. And a garage for a transport dinghy or two; depending on how many people are going to be on board for seafaring trips. For me, owning a yacht is symbolic enough.

[@dwightlooi]

Somebody should buy those 2 year old Littoral Combat Ships being decommissioned and turn them into a superyacht. 45 knots is plenty fast for a 3000 ton vessel. A two helicopter hangar and expansive boat launch doors are complimentary. All it needs is an interior makeover and disarmament.

[@oliver9089]

Disarmament... why?

[@dwightlooi]

@@oliver9089 Because you can't it park in Monaco as a warship?

[@Dexerion]

The cost is in the maintenance. Right?

[@the_dragon_gamer8850]

The bigger they are, the costly the maintenance. Also depends on what type of equipments and engines the yacht has.

[@davidhunt6463]

How seaworthy are these yachts? The Queen Mary 2 can cross the Atlantic in pretty much all weather, these boats have massive ranges but look too fragile to tackle any serious weather.

[@the_dragon_gamer8850]

Yeah, exactly. If I wanted to have a yacht of my own, I’d want it to have designed to have adequate protections against severe weathers in the sea in case my yacht can’t escape it. Since hybrid fuel has relatively…recently adapted to future yachts, I would use it to reduce annual costs of fuel. For example, if I just want to sail it to nearby ports, don’t have to use diesel to make the trip unless the designation is over 400 nautical miles away. Call overcautious dude, but in my view, the safety of anyone in my houses, cars, or boats supersede the needs for exotic or luxurious objects or constructs that are purely symbolic. I consider owning enduring yacht symbolic enough.

[@adetheheat8657]

Ignoring mooring fees why does it cost millions each year to maintain them? What's going wrong with them and why are they so unreliable?

[@Megayachtnews1]

Don't mistake maintenance with reliability. Just as your car needs fuel, oil changes, cleaning, and general upkeep throughout the months, yachts do as well. The annual maintenance budget includes the crew salaries, too, since they live onboard and take care of everything daily. (BTW: the narrator improperly refers to some crew as "wait staff." They're not waiters/waitresses.)

No matter the size of the yacht, you still have a limited supply of water, sewage storage, fuel, and electricity. If you run out of food you can’t just hop into your car and go get groceries. The bigger the boat the bigger the money pit.
