This video is inspired by a viewer who asked me what combination of shipyards may build the perfect yacht. I believe that the designer is often almost as important as the builder if you are building a custom yacht!

Thank you so much for distinguishing the two different areas of yacht building. The companies you have mentioned for both the production / custom side of the industry are building some amazing products, however that said I never could understand why the production side of the house, in my humble opinion only, never appeals to me as much as the custom route. Now at least I understand my own reasoning why I prefer some builders and building methods over the other. Thanks you so much for helping me figure that out. Best of luck to you and your staff. (:

I am a long time follower of this channel and Here is my question for you! Can you dig into warranty and maintenance for large yachts? Does the builder offer full warranty on the yacht including electrical, engines, furniture etc etc or each item covered under the separate warranty based on who is purchased from? Do the builder force you to get certain maintenance/check ups done yearly with them or can you get it done in another ship yard? What avoids the warranty? How long is the warranty on a large yachts? Thank you for your time and excellent videos so far.

Before watching - I really like the look of the Benetti BNow68 semi-custom. Elegant lines, beautiful modern interiors, a massive beach club and good crew areas. Not so big a yacht that you'd have to book berths six months in advance, but big enough for almost any need. After watching - yep, definitely sticking with my choice (for fantasy yacht!). Not sure that it's justifiable to pay double or more and probably wait longer to get a Feadship. Didn't realise the prices were so different. Not that I can afford a boat of any kind, but hey ho, nice to dream!

Tatiana is my favorite. I would love a 24.5m yacht which mirrors such. With the ability to park 4 of my vehicles in the hull of the boat. I have my own design. Watching different designers have helped tremendously. I can honestly say, mine is unique. My question to you is. How do I go about contacting a designer to make my idea a reality. Someone I can pay and not be committed to any particular builder. Due to the fact I don't know everything about what is needed to build a boat of that magnitude. I'm more drawn to functionality vs luxury. This will be my home, not just a vessel of leisure. Thanks for your videos! they're far superior in comparison to everyone else I've watched. At least you don't focus on pillows all the time😂😂

I have been watching your Videos for a while and they are the very best. I fell in love with the Mangusta 165, it is a beautiful machine. After looking at "Serenity" I could not imagine a better interior, nice dark woods. The performance at Sea is amazing but that pointed out a question. The best range would not get you across the Atlantic. Has anyone refit a 165 with enough fuel capacity to at least do an Ireland-iceland-newfoundland crossing or is the 165 not the right sea boat for doing a crossing, performance and range do not mix well? I wish you well in your career and look forward to more videos.

Here is a question for you. If you have answered this before, I am sorry I did not see or hear it. Why do yacht builders/designers, especially on the production yacht builds. Always position the seating at the aft end of the yacht facing into the cabin? When you sit in your back garden of your house you face the garden, not the house. Unless your garden is awful. So you pay £500,000-5,000,000 for a yacht. Travel to glorious places in the Med etc, to sit facing the cot pit! There are the odd one or two That swivel the back seat? If I paid big bucks for a yacht and transport to far away lands/seas. I would want to look at them.

An overview of the various designers would really be helpful to those people who are thinking about a custom yacht.
