Superyacht Price Tiers - Explained

[@janach1305]

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

[@Ozvideo1959]

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]

@@Ozvideo1959 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.

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.

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.

[@howardtreesong4860]

Thank you for that perspective. I would think that, if I was an owner, I would pay my crew very well and treat them with great dignity and respect. I would not skimp on pay. If the boat costs $500 million I don't want minimum wage workers on my deck. I would then want them to own their responsibility, and that has a price tag. A ship like that is luxury by definition but I'd want to live on the ship and it would have to be a home in its own right. I would want a ship like that as something to enjoy, not as a status symbol. /not quite sure how to get there though.

[@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.

You should put more emphasis on the helipad. Especially on yachts that have garages for them. Some pads are just touch and go, so a chopper can’t be stored on it. Also, some of these yachts have a support yacht to store toys including cars, speedboats, helicopters and extra crew/ guest cabins.

$60M a year upkeep for the Azzam?!?!Thats ridiculous. They say it costs 10% of the yachts cost to run per year, but that's for boats that cost under $50M. There's not much difference between the upkeep of this boat and a miserly $100M boat

[@vitsadelhole]

Yeah there really is, significantly increased upkeep with length the interior of the boat increases exponentially due to the cube square law the difference between 100 foot and a 200 foot yacht isn’t 2X it’s substantially more despite the fact that the cost isn’t necessarily that means you have far more crew far more repairs for more insurance fuel it all just adds up and it adds up incredibly quickly

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.

[@vitsadelhole]

Most of these yachts are far more see worthy than the queen Mary just because they’re nice and pretty doesn’t mean they are fragile. We have significantly better materials assembly methods and technology behind these boats. They are meant to cross the oceans in all weathers. They don’t do it very often because that’s pretty dumb and just wear and tear but they can in fact many of them are some of the best polar rated ships in the world.

[@deefernando4359]

There comes a point where more Size soon becomes a hinderance, and you may as well be on land, because it no longer feels like you are on the ocean, or are sailing. Being on a giga yacht seems to be much the same as being on a Cruise Ship (without all the rif-raff peasants ofcourse) but the size is so big, you are always surrounded by glass and steel, and breath artificial air. What's the point?

[@nole8923]

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.

[@vitsadelhole]

Well, really you’re just limited by fuel and food because the engines can create unlimited water, sewage can be treated and dumped and electricity is created by the engines. It’s why submarines can stay underwater for six months. It’s why cruise ships can carry 8000 people and realistically, you can carry a lot more fuel than you think because they are a lot bigger than you think. And food can be flown in or more often kept on a secondary supply ship which carries toys, fuel, women, food basically everything extra

[@dutchrjen]

Something in this video is very wrong. Pound per pound longer vessels are way faster in displacement mode than shorter vessels. Large vessels can be much FASTER than smaller ones in displacement mode (not a speed boat or a hydrofoil where in either of these cases much of the boat rises out of the water). This is due to the cube-square law and hull speed. Power goes up by 1/2 p v^3 A Cd. The important part here is the A which is the cross-sectional area or how much water the ship pushes out of the way. Per cubit foot of interior and pound of weight, this is way less as ship size increases which increases fuel efficiency per pound. As the water is pushed out of the way there is a bow wave that pushes the bow into the air a bit and a stern tough that depresses the stern downwards. As speed increases the wavelength becomes longer until these constructively interfere. When this happens, the engine is driving the ship "up" as it is going forwards like a person inclining a treadmill. Fuel is burned WAY FASTER... above hull speed like 5 to 10x faster. Hull speed limited ship speed for centuries. Ships had to be made longer to go faster. This is still true when in displacement mode today. Speedboats go so fast because they utilize their hull speed to lift most of the hull onto a plane. Most the hull glides above the water with hydrostatic lift instead of hydrostatic displacement. This planing can only be done for smaller boats and this is why so many think small boats are "faster." Speedboats can go from displacement mode, to semi-displacement, to plane because their weight per surface area is so low. Speedboats utilize some of their higher drag into a force that props them mostly above the surface of the water allowing for way less drag than in displacement mode. Large ships like battleships, carriers, cruse ships, ocean liners can be speedboat fast or faster without going onto a plane. They can do this below their hull speed and burn way less fuel per pound. This also allows them to have way longer range. A 30 foot boat will have a 6 knot hullspeed. Some trawler (yatchs) I've looked at in the ~30 to 40 foot range can travel thousands of miles at 6 knots without refueling. A 300 foot ship will have a 23 knot hullspeed. A 1,000 foot ship will have a 42 knot hullspeed. A nuclear powered aircraft carrier is rumored to have >36 or maybe even a 40 knot top speed. Nuclear carriers can leave their escorts in the dust. This was true even when their escorts were nuclear powered.

[@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.)

[@vitsadelhole]

It’s pretty simple “Salt water” one of the most corrosive things on earth at least due to the time of exposure.

You can have 50 crewmembers on a boat, gas is extremely expensive. It just adds up

[@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.

[@vitsadelhole]

1 yachts have spectacular weather protections but also you can simply avoid weather 2 they already use diesel electric engines that’s been pretty much ubiquitous in the ship industry for the last 80 years the engines are incredibly efficient, but at the end of the day you were moving hundreds, if not, thousands of tons through a very high resistance liquid. 3 almost all yachts have garages, though it’s becoming increasingly common to just simply have a second boat, which is a supply boat and garage that carries all the toys and food and extra crew.
