I’d extend the fly bridge over the cockpit, enclose the fly bridge and move the helm up to the fly bridge and maybe one or two other tweaks.

Very proper yacht.

I was told many years ago around 65’ but that was decades ago and things no doubt are different today.

[@seawolf7610]

Fleming just came out with their 85' model, which is designed to be run by the owner. They claim that's about as large as you can go without absolutely needing a crew.

[@Dobermanator]

You have to pay for well over a 100 ft yacht to get the same Engine room. You will not find nor be able to acquire the amount of wood detail from the "usual" go to yacht builders. The hull although painted (looks awesome) it is fibreglass and thus the "not found elsewhere" advantages have soon run out.

[@tomcarlton854]

quality cost simple as that........ and it looks that way too!

[@andrewbeale2585]

Hugo quotes the range as 1000nm, but it is not clear at what speed. Displacement speed should allow the crew to deliver the boat from the Caribbean to the Med and back for each season. The engines seem oversized, and no mention of gph at 30 knots but it must be eye watering. A 30 knot top speed doesn't really fit with this kind of luxury gentleman's yacht, 22 knots top with cruising at 14 to 16 would be plenty.

[@paulnorman8274]

Not sure what cruising speed is, but it's designed to be plenty faster; hence have more effective range for time limited, busy people; than displacement cruisers. It's certainly not a low carbon way to vacation.

@@blewyd princess ferritti sanlorenzo build quality but I agree azimut and others like sunsqueeker are cheaply built in area's to cut costs! People don't understand that every single detail on a vessel such as this is built with the finest seaworthyness ! And they don't understand that it comes at a cost! You don't buy a ferrari and complain it's more exspensive than a Ford focus! This is a fine machine! Personally I'd go ferritti as I like the more modern feel but there is no doubt this is a fine machine! Just look at the latch that closes the shower door! That would cost 4 times as much as anything azimut would use! You either get it or you don't!!

[@blewyd]

@@mareewalker1096 I totally agree with you. Every single part on these expensive yachts like Princess, Sanlorenzo, etc are built to a higher quality which comes at a higher cost of labor and material.

IT IS BEAUTIFUL...but man 6 million range for this is hilarious.A Nordhavn 63 for 2.3 million with all of the extras just destroys this. If this boat was in the 2+ million range, than perfect but someone went overboard with the pricing.

[@paulnorman8274]

Stick 3800 horses in a Nordhavn 63, and slam it into waves at 30 knots...... Nordhavns rule, and arguably make more sense for anyone not literally "sitting on a pipe" as the Russians say. Feeding these 3800 engines at the kind of speeds where they make sense, without putting a crimp on the "relaxed and carefree" part of vacationing, is not for the faint of wallet. Raymond Hunt "invented" the deep V (think Cigarette boat) hull. For high speeds in high waves. Back when engines powerful enough to bring such hulls up on plane, where first becoming available. This is not a Cigarette, but noone is going to put Hunt's name on a 3800hp planing boat the size of a small ship, without building one heck of a solid vessel. Gigantic planing cruisers; deep V, rough sea worthy ones even more so; are also not boats which makes any sense at all, for anyone with even the remotest concern for what things cost. They're cool, and it's great that some have the means to commission and run them, but they're really on a whole 'nother level, as far as throwing big denomination bills out the window as fast as you can. And then throwing some more at those maintaining your ability to go out and do so again.... It may be built in Taiwan (like Nordhavns), but that has more to do with Taiwan being one of the few places where they're still able to do so reliably at such a high standard. It's likely too big, and/or quirky, a powerboat for Hinckley, and too small for Palmer Johnson (if they even build anything in America anymore). Not sure who else in America could do it. And built by either of those two, it would cost even more, be harder to get a solid completion date for etc. The Taiwanese are just better at it, these days. But just look at the darned thing. It looks as capital A America as The Great Gatsby. Complete standout, in a sea of Med inspired boats primarily designed to charter easily. Like Sinatra crashing an ABBA party while smoking a 3800hp cigar.

Crew quarters are an abomination

[@capttrousers]

How can you call it an American yacht when it is built in Taiwan? Is a Rolls Royce built in China still a British car? No, is the obvious answer and its a shame so many people make the same mistakes leading to jobs in the US being lost as they are viewed as the same as a Chinese product.

[@paulnorman8274]

For the same reason Apple is generally thought of as selling American products. And Chevrolet of selling American trucks.... Within a small, and ever shrinking, margin of error: If this is not an "American" boat, nothing for sale is "American" anymore. Americans don't strictly make anything anymore. As for the product itself: Compared to Euro boats; this looks like something JD Rockefeller would own. The interior looks so New York traditional, one would almost have to serve Manhattans rather than run on board. Also, nothing says America like 3800hp, but such a heavy build you still lag 10-15 knots behind similar powered Euro boats (in flat water. Once in any sea, this Hunt hull will no doubt keep going where the lighter, flatter, more modern and "efficient" hulls get uncomfortable. )

[@chrismorgan7794]

@@paulnorman8274 American used to be a guarantee of build quality and engineering. It’s a terrible shame that, like many other developed nations, this is no longer the case.

[@brianmiller6443]

I think the design is a horrible waste of space on a 80 ft yacht. All that foredeck wasted space that you have to pay for at dock! The galley had no thought put into it at all and neither did the salon. The crew quarters are bad as well. The Hunt 63 is a better boat! I could list 5 boats this size that are a far better design from classic style motoryacht to modern ones. I don't see them selling many of these if someone looks at another boat

[@LeistungDrehmoment]

6 Million is too much money for this boat It is more expensive than Riva of same size? Totally overpriced

[@paulnorman8274]

It's about the same price + -, depending on options, as the new Perseo. This one has lots of options and customisations. That adds up quickly on Rivas as well. For warm weather summer use, this likely lags behind a Riva for most people. "All that "propeh" foredeck space" also means no facilities for foredeck lounging nor catching the breeze. And it has no dingy/toy garage.... But for New York or Maine turtleneck cruising on a typically grey day, a Riva makes about as much sense as a sun lounger in Alaska. As for status: This one says: I don't even need consider suitability for chartering it, to afford it....... It's a "propeh" fu-money day/weekend/long-weekend boat. Not chartered-when-not-used-to-offset-costs-as-per-my-accountant. Nor sold-my-house-and-practice-to-cruise-in-retirement live-aboard.
