You Won't Believe How Fast this SuperYacht Is!

[@YachtReport]

Small correction to this video. The second set of engines are Lycoming Gas turbines, powering the water jets.

[@calvinh.8882]

I bet at full speed it uses about 200 gallons of fuel per mile. lol.

[@ycplum7062]

I was just wondering about water jets. They are more efficient at that speed.

[@fredscribner3688]

Kind of thought it was strange having two different sets of diesels with similar horsepower. Thanks for clearing that up great video as usual.

[@petersakko2348]

Correct, 2 gas turbines total 9600hp on 2-1 gearbox to the middle Wartsila waterjet and the Paxman enginenes give the power to "smaller" waterjets. (worked as commissioning engineer on the propulsion was a interesting project)

[@victoryfirst2878]

Would just love to be the captain of this fine vessel. Peace.

[@kevinzetts]

Holy crap is that fast. If you've never been fast on the water, speed is totally different than land. I think you should do some more extreme videos like this one. As always, your videos are AWESOME.

[@Jacob-W-5570]

As an merchant navy engineer I'm not soon surprised by the numbers of yachts, but 70 knots tops, I had to play it again to be sure I heard what you said. And 50 knots cruising. we cruise at 14 o.O

[@maxb2787]

There have been many questions raised about this yacht and its owner. As far as im aware he failed to prove his claimed top speed. There is footage of it going crazy fast, so im sure it can, but if its really reaching the 70 knots? i doubt it.

[@Warmaster_7]

@@maxb2787 The Discovery Channel made a video that aired at least 6 or 7 years ago on television featuring the owner in question. Called Extreme Yachts. There might be a clip here on KZbin. The yacht he had built at the time was about 100 feet long and could do at least 50 knots. I wish I could remember the name of that yacht and the speed she attained. He was asked how much did it cost to fill her up. He replied with: "It will melt your credit card."

[@BennyTheWoo]

For those asking, some estimated fuel consumption figures at full throttle. . . . . 2,200 gallons per hour , or 8,300 litres per hour.

[@tysleight]

How did you come up with that number? Not saying it's not correct, just wondering.

[@charlieodom9107]

If this is correct, then she would have a range of around 450 miles at that speed! At hull speed, it is claimed she can do 3800 miles.

[@BennyTheWoo]

@@tysleight Diesel engines typically use a certain amount of fuel per hour for a given horsepower output and it can be calculated fairly easily.

[@BennyTheWoo]

@@charlieodom9107 She aint using anywhere near her 40,000hp to achieve hull speed and the range reflects that.

[@charlieodom9107]

@@BennyTheWoo what kind of stupid are you? Do you really think people believe it would take 40,000hp to move this boat at hull speed? There are 4 engines for a reason!!!

[@michaelgilmer3836]

What would the range be at 65 knots? 250 miles?

[@napalmhotdog4365]

I’d be very interested to know

[@barovelata]

You need to consider that 65 knots cruising speed is achievable only in flat calm sea state. The range at 50+knots is around 600-800 nautical miles.

[@abassplayer4life]

The range is from one fuel dock to the next. 😂

[@J_Bwn]

I wonder how many gallons of fuel per second it uses….

[@JeffWinters]

By "spin out" I'd think he meant more along the terms of "blow the props," surely, right? Spinning out is when the transom breaks loose in a turn and comes around before the bow, not when a PWC gets air like your example.

[@JeffWinters]

@@marvindebot3264 That's crazy! Thanks for replying. I wouldn't have thought people would build something like this without knowing more than that about the CG on paper. I guess that's progress though! Good for them.

[@YachtReport]

He said in the interview it would spin out to the left or right.

[@andyrbush]

Having had boats, small ones, you are always no matter how much you love your boat, wanting a bigger one. I can't say that I ever wanted a faster one due to the discomfort and fear of loosing friends overboard.

[@applejacks971]

[@pcoldlight5631]

What exactly does he mean by spinning out ?

[@tysleight]

Basically a loss of traction. In an impeller you suck air and the impeller is no longer pushing water so you rev out the motor. ( Lots of fun on a jet ski)

That's crazy fast on the water. I imagine you'd have to do those speeds on glass-like water, or you'd wind up airborne with the screws out of the water, and a couple very expensive blown engines! I was on a boat that skipped over a couple swells coming out of the lea of an island, and blew a V-12, as a squall had gone over us. That made for a long trip home in some nasty seas. Stay safe out there!
