ARE SUPERYACHTS EVER REJECTED???

[@yahyamuamer1]

I’m glad you’re getting sales through KZbin, means we can enjoy these videos knowing your hard work is paying off. You don’t have to be able to afford something to enjoy and appreciate it. Whether it’s art, yachts or cars.

[@jonnyeriksson3341]

I really enjoy that you let us all take part of “your marketing” material. It is positive, make us dream, smile and make plans for the day when maybe it is my turn. It is very generous of you, thanks. I do not care if I can not buy (at least not today) I like the design, the craft the ideas. Your channel is great.

[@searlearnold2867]

Congratulations on the interest in "Blue Moon" ! Your walk through showed more behind the scenes equipment that either isn't built into other yachts or is overlooked during walk through videos. The rear mounted thruster is not standard equipment, let alone one that retracts and rotates and can propel the vessel forward. The tank deck storage is another often overlooked feature that we never see. When you see a massive difference in price between yachts of the same size, it is this attention to detail and additional features in the build that create that value. Bravo !!

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Thanks Searle! Actually we announced the sale of BLUE MOON today!

[@Hegde-]

@@Yachtsforsaleblog Congratulations on the sale . Dont mind those hate comments. lot of people who watch your videos including me can't afford a yacht . So it encourages us young people to work hard so one day we can afford one. Haters will write negative comments all the time. All they want is a little bit of recognition to satisfy their inner ego. Please dont read their comments in your videos because that's exactly what they want.I have One request if possible please do more content on large explorer yachts. Have a nice day.

Darth KEK - KEK (im guessing) being a reference to early World of Warcraft. The two factions could chat to each other via chat bubbles. These were scrambled so there was a forced language barrier. People found out when one faction said LOL the other faction would see KEK in translation. This was patched fairly quickly. But has stood the meme test of time.

[@Primalxbeast]

The Aliance scum saw kek, we saw bur.

[@FlesHBoX]

Kek was also an Egyptian god of primordial darkness. Also, IIRC, kek was used in Starcraft prior to the existence of WoW, and it is possible that it was adopted in WoW as the translation for lol in reference to that. If we want to get SUPER pedantic about things :)

[@jonuiuc]

The korean onomotopia for HaHaHa, is translated from Hangul to arabic as: KeKeKe, so people started using kek in english as a term for a laugh.

Can confirm that super wealthy people do watch KZbin. Got a buddy with a smaller yacht that watches the same crap I watch on KZbin and I’ve sent him on a few of these videos when David has done a really great looking yacht. Not all are in his price range but even the mega rich can be made to feel like peasants by some of the more costly yachts and it’s kinda nice to know that they also share the same sense of dreaming of owning them most viewers have. 😜 David at some point would you do a video interview with a yacht builder discussing engine room layouts/design. I often feel it’s such an under appreciated part of the M/Y world and my engineering side would love to know about what kinda of thinking goes into it.

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Thanks Rory...not sure if I qualify as "the same crap" 😂😂😂 Actually, I'm in discussions with a few builders to do a series of videos about engine rooms and engineering, so keep tuned!

[@roryatkinson1988]

Hi David. That’s brilliant to hear! Look very forward to seeing those videos when you do them. And no you don’t fall into the Crap catalogue of KZbin at all. I more meant other random things we both enjoy like science shows, I know he watches some of your videos but told me once at a BBQ it’s dangerous because then he has to stop himself from buying a bigger yacht than he can afford. Apparently you too good at your job ha ha 🤣 keep up the great videos and as someone in digital marketing it’s great to hear about your sales success through the channel.

[@forgottenautos8461]

Funny, my bank rejects all the yachts I try to buy with my credit card.

[@happisakshappiplace.6588]

I can never afford in a million years one of these boats but I love all the design work, the art, and craftsmanship and engineering that goes into these boats. I love all these boat channels.

[@agneslechno7645]

Love to see a Gentleman, talking with true passion about work. Enjoying the videos much.

[@RSDavicii]

Again, please keep doing these videos! They're so interesting! About the ending of the video. I love that you show us these, I watch these videos not to be jealous or envious but purely out of a fascination for the beauty and craftsmanship of yachts.

[@richardsittel4194]

Great video, after watching several of your "How to Buy" videos I'm starting to get the whole process nailed down into memory. It all makes sense and you put prices on everything like the survey, crew costs, insurance, management, legal fees, maintenance, etc. Very valuable since I've known people that have bought much smaller boats and let them fall into disrepair because they didn't expect anything to ever wear out or break down.

[@arno9711]

I’ve been watching your videos for years and really like the engagement and the personal level on not only this type of videos but all on your channel. I know you are growing and hold my thumbs so you can become as big as you wish but I also hope you finde a way to keep that engagement up. As usual love the video and thanks Dave.

[@OKRMetric]

just for your edification, the "Blue" tape is a type of tape that has a low contact. it is used where the surface may be delicate and makes the tape easily removed without leaving a residue. There are different types of that tape that has different levels of stickiness.. its usually used by the autobody industry.

[@lars7795]

This channel is just constantly getting better and better. Always such interesting takes and new perspectives on yachts and yachting, so much more than a sales channel or review channel. Also, a great presenter who genuinely seem to love what he does.

[@Donald_Shaw]

I love watching your yachting channel as well as watching others. Thanks for the interesting content you share with us.

[@johnlymn861]

That was fascinating David. There is so much to take into account, and I can really see added value of a quality broker to help a new owner understand all aspects of purchase. Great vids as always.

[@rfs2942]

not only i get the satisfaction of watching those amazing yachts you show to us. i do learn in your videos how to create rapport throw social media. thank you for posting all thoses videos. looking foward for the next one.

[@chrish2996]

Hi David. The reason N&J made you head of video production is because your channel is a success. Clients and daydreamers enjoy the amazing yachts and "how to" videos. Today you covered a great question. Another entertaining edition thanks 😊

[@jonathancrawley8916]

Great video, its not often that we get to hear something around “behind the scenes”; I agree that this channel would be as appropriate at every level from me (could never afford it) to a potential owner. Your videos are the most comprehensive and I can see why a potential owner would be attracted to enquire. Keep it up David. Much better than the other brokers I have seen (fully subscribed to all of them)

[@tommysvantesson8032]

Thanks for another informative video! What some may not think about is that these expensive vessels, just like other expensive vessels in other contexts, drive development. Products developed for a superyatch will later be on the market for smaller boats and will be of benefit and pleasure to the general public.

[@DDPAV]

Both your closing comments were spot on. Though your thorough explanations were clear and concise, those in the "us verses them" crowd will never be satisfied with anything other than the support of their view points. Great job with these low-key videos. Your confidence in delivery and view points are refreshing.

[@Ethan7s]

As an engineer, this is a very informative and interesting video. And delivered in the usual world class quality.

[@tomhunter7536]

Good video, explained items not often mentioned. Never thought about these items in depth before.

[@philipmason3218]

I would have thought the discerning multi millionaire would thoroughly enjoy the yachting channels. What better way to start the day than to browse through your next boat over breakfast in your master suite. It's just the same as the rest of us watching car videos, then kicking yourself when you see the new model is available in six months, DOH! I'll never be in a position to own yacht, but we can all dream, at least I know exactly what I'm looking for thanks yo your good self and a couple of other channels. Many thanks for a wonderful world of the super rich.

[@bsb11kat25]

Great insight David, I'm curious, if you buy an older yacht for millions (like £79m for Tatoosh) what warranty does the buyer get? and from who?

[@alexarditti1726]

People have Dreams. I haven’t got a pot to piss in, but thanks for videos I love them. Also being a building surveyor and dealing with luxury condos in Singapore, it’s refreshing to know all the defects are dealt with handled in pretty much the same way in the Yachting industry. Also the subjective defects, like natural flaws in timber and natural stone keeps things interesting, when dealing with the buyer, lots of cringing moments explaining that’s what marble is meant to look like. Cheers David.

[@FLGurl]

David: If I could not be a peasant, and my girly pockets ran very deep, please know that I would purchase only from you. There are other yacht brokers on useless toob, but you are my favorite broker. In fact, I even wore the t-shirt today "I love big boats and I can't lie" while I was out running errands.

[@Nokenify]

This has always been one of my top channels to watch but it is definitely getting closer to the absolute top for every video. Amazing quality of the content, David!

[@mohammadalhusaini1115]

Honestly the latter part of the video talking about whether wealthy individuals watch KZbin was far more interesting and more deserving of a standalone. I really like this type of video it’s fantastic!

[@reefwiz99]

enjoyed it!!!!! And your videos are a win-win for everyone. That means you produce content that targets people who BUY yachts and all the rest of us who ENJOY the content get the benefit.

[@stevegray1308]

The first step in buying a yacht is narrowing down what you want. The internet is about the best way to start. Once you have knocked down your range of yachts then you can really start looking in great detail - boat shows, brokers etc - but the internet can help knowing the questions you MUST ask as well as those that are points of interest. The first question always should be "will it float?".

[@donz4603]

Nick of Aquaholic have a video of a couple who bought a yacht they saw on his channel. It may only be a second hand 50ft boat but it’s still worth over £300k, which is more than any poor person can afford, so yeah, I believe people with money do watch KZbin. And this channel is a good source of information for anyone on the market for a yacht. Keep up the good work, Sir.

[@patrickcallan8256]

Great Video! Expert level response to the negative comments. I may never be able to afford such an extravagance however, the videos offer a glimpse into the lifestyle which to me, has great entertainment value. Who knows, maybe someday I'll win the lottery. When that happens, I will already have an idea which yacht is currently on the market. Keep up the great work!

[@marcelw6827]

I watch this youtube channel because I am interested in yachts. Not because I can afford a yacht. I watch because I am interested in my daughter's friend's profession. He is a co-designer. That’s why I also look at things that have to do with flying. The other daughter’s friend is a pilot. Pure interest in their profession.

[@davidkisner8332]

Surveys are carried out under a lot of names/Trades, Here in the USA if you want to buy home thru a bank(usually called Home inspections) they require them as well. Also the level of Survey will depend on what you are willing to pay out and your contract. Take Narroboats in the UK, their survey is different than that of a used Yacht. Insurance companies also may require different types of survey too. I love this new vlog style, keep them coming.

[@stellatedodin656]

Really enjoyed this vlog! Thank you for sharing some of the behind the scenes and reality inducing information. I had a separate question which hopefully causes you to pause for a moment: you have showcased so many of the high end builders that have produced amazing yachts. If you could take the best parts of different builders that you felt excelled in an area over another and merged them into a single yacht, say Benneti’s cabinetry and Lursa’s use of deck space, or whatever, how would you build your dream yacht? I of course don’t expect you to burn bridges with any builders, but was curious as what areas you felt particular builders excelled in. From what I have learned from you and others, I love lurssen as a builder and, once I make a name for myself, plan on tasking them to build whatever yacht I find most appealing :)

[@philcliffe6909]

Fascinating video. Makes the value seems like a bargain.

[@scottamolinari]

Great and interesting video. Interesting on the paint bit as a point for rejection. I worked for a company that delivered very large cranes to customers for multiple millions of euros and paint was also a sticking point for delivery. People do always believe good first impressions are hugely important, and I think the yacht building business circles around that premise very, very much. That, and of course, comfort and luxury.

[@gfan1972]

Love these vlogs and they fill the void while I wait for the next dream yachts!

[@BadYossa]

Chef here. They use blue for the same reason we do in kitchens, be it gloves, plasters, paper towels and piping bags - to name but a few. It is a colour that stands out, isn't something we would expect to see in a mousse or piece of sea bass, as it is not a "natural" colour we associate with foods, apart from say flowers for garnish and the like. The same is true for walnut, iroko, oak and so forth. Same is true with many other materials such as GRP, stainless or most marble. It's also why post it notes and highlighter pens are coloured in that way - to highlight something and bring it our attention. It stands out. The psychology of colour is an interesting thing, once you go down the rabbit hole. Sorry for lengthy post, but hope it helps! PS apart from being a Chef, I've restored a few yachts, all sail and smaller than most super yacht tenders, as well as dabble in carpentry/furniture, hence why I follow your excellent channel!

[@yorkazuna5934]

We use blue tape because it is low tack and you rarely have adhesive transfer even after several weeks since it may be several weeks from the time a defect is identified and when it is repaired.

[@richmiller2501]

I watch this youtube Chanel to up todate for my customers. this has great value. thank you.

[@Timothy_Smith]

[@lusoyachting36]

Makes sense David. Any significant construction project from a house, office building or a yacht end up with a "snagging list" on handover. I have some very wealthy clients a couple of them own superyachts and several of them have told me they watch my KZbin channel.

[@terrykeever3280]

Enjoy most of your videos. This one was interesting and cabinetry was one of the things that stand out to me in videos in general between the top yachts and the lower end ones. Chasing leaks in a home can be time consuming, in a yacht I can imagine it will be much more of a problem. Hadn't thought about paint. I'm pretty sure if I ever have even a few million to spend on a yacht, I'll watch every video I can find - just as I do now when I dream of a Silent Seas or Sunreef or similar cat.

[@dlfendel2844]

Great info. FYI, in "American" English, a "snagging list" is known as a "punch list" I think because wayyy back for not just boats but all kinds of bespoke creations such as homes and cars and such they literally put a "punch" hole in the spec sheet for things that didn't come out up to snuff and needed fixing. Anyhow, it is commonplace in construction here. Thanks! ALSO, the reason they use that blue tape is that it is known in the US as "painter's tape" and is made with an adhesive that will let it come OFF without harming or pulling up the underlying finish, often for doing masking for lines of different colors.

[@derekinhawaii]

I know that if/when I have the funds to buy a sizable yacht for my use you will certainly be my first phone call. I see why your channel is continuing to grow and very much successful. I work in the film industry on the East Coast and the northeast/Boston and got a great kick out for your recent video up up there. Thanks for featuring that part of the US. As a location manager/scout in the film biz, it's always great to see the northeast featured anywhere on motion picture. Thanks again.

Actually I think that your channel has become a benchmark by wealthy people point of view. People who have taken the step to buy a yacht, but have no clue what's trendy nowadays or people who want to get inspired throughout the process of building custom one. This channel is certainly beyond entertainment, it is quite professional! Congrats.

[@ah244895]

Another KZbin interest of mine is following the high end motorhome scene. They have the same metrics, such as rattles of cabinets and such. The better ones don't. You can buy a really nice, fancy RV for $500,000. But if your spend 2-3 million, you get a really solid, will built, fancy RV. Quality costs $$$

[@robertdupuy8631]

The reason the blue tape is used is because it has "low tack", which means it does not stick hard and won't leave residue. Great videos!

Good to know that "rich" people can get just as much (or more) hassle buying a yatch, as us 'lesser mortals' when it comes to buying something, like a second hand car or new dish washer that has a scratch on it. Same problem but more cost is all. Well done David on a fab channel.

[@temainbro5997]

Thank you for sharing us all these amazing vessel´s and informations! I think it´s not bad to be on youtube! First of all the way you present your self is just outstanding which represents the quality of your work very well! Another thing is that rich owners may have children who watch your vids and tell their parents about them. And there could be possible buyers in the younger generations of your viewers who may become wealthy enough in the next 5-10 years. At last another good thing is that people can just dreaming about it...whithout the need to own a yacht one day... and if the dream comes true they probably will be able to afford a yacht :)

[@SirLance13]

The blue "sticky tape" is actually painters tape. It's designed to easily peel off without leaving a residue.

[@realmoneymaking7]

David great job on your videos, if you just let comment on some of the opinions you just put foward. Rich people have resources to look for a yacht, house or a plane they will hire people to look for any venue such as a KZbin video to gather information on such an asset for their boss. Your marketing is right on point, me been from a financial background you never know when the next is coming from.....hope to have you someday in Costa Rica

[@roykindrick4186]

When I saw your first video I knew right a way it was done to put the yacht on show for buyers to see. Even if it is not available the ship yard will build another for a buyer. For instance Tatiana by BILGIN has one sister ship that is built and delivered to it owner and BILGIN has a third hull under construction now and is waiting for some one to buy it. The rich are busy and a first view of a spectacular yacht on You Tube I am sure is the start of many sells of yachts!

Shipyards probably use blue tape because painter's tape is less adhesive (doesn't risk damaging a surface when you pull the tape off), and doesn't leave behind a sticky residue. Painter's tape is typically blue.
