super yachts 60million+
Discussion
Recently I’ve taken a big interested in super yachts, the ultimate status symbol for the mega rich, and most celebrities can afford to own one.
Just a few questions if anyone know,
How much does it cost to run one of these, i.e. to top up with diesel , and how much is parking etc..
How does insurance work, because your the owner and not the driver (captain)
I am just very curious in how a super yachts runs.

On Average 15% running cost per year of the purchase price for powerboat, sail = 10%
Give you a clue last one I ran burnt through 75 gal per hour running hard, but a lot of time down to 20 pottering. That was twin 700hp and at the time I was buying fuel in the US Virgin Islands at $1.27 a U.S gal.
Another a spend time on did 200 gal per hr running flat twin 2000hp,that was in the Med so expensive.
Dockage is a killer depending on where you go. Crew say 10 on 150ft -170ft. Skippers wages alone will be $1000 / 1000 Euro per ft length of boat. Chef half to three quarters of that and the chief engineer the same.
If the boats charter and have a good season they can claw a good amount back. A week on a 180 ft a have on the books is $265,000 a week to charter.

A few years ago it cost $200k + to fill the tanks of Octopus.
~$200m to build apparently and still my fave mega yacht. You could do some proper exploring with that.
It makes Amevi/Alfa Nero look like toys.
yes its nice and very big, but why have 2 helicopters and 2 submarine on a yacht~$200m to build apparently and still my fave mega yacht. You could do some proper exploring with that.

1 helicopter for guests, 1 helicopter for staff and a submarine each for Paul & Bill to escape if James Bond gets on board and tries to stop Microsoft's evil plan for world domination and blows up the boat in the process.
Evil plans and scale model of evil plan situated on D deck, just behind the day lounge.

Lone Ranger would take 250,000 US gallons, and burn 24 ton a day if we run her at 16knts.
I run a 87 ft plastic fantastic now, (and go home every evening) with 2 X 2000hp MTU's, she burns about 90 ltrs an hour each at 12-13knts, but at 24 knts she's burning 400 ltrs an hour each.
10,000 ltrs can be gone in 3 days of fast cruising.
Then we have to spend 3 hours filling the thing up.
After a refit in Miami, we filled Lone Ranger up with 24 artic trucks, two at a time, and it took 24 hours.
You don't need a lot of money. You need too much money!

mickrick What plastic fanatastic you on now ?. I took a Ferretti 88 through the Med the other year with 2x2000hp MTU ( Actually the picture is first one on the boat pic thread). Not sure what yours is like but running flat at 35 knots it would 100 gal a side per hr. 9000 lt fill up from memory.I run a 87 ft plastic fantastic now, (and go home every evening) with 2 X 2000hp MTU's, she burns about 90 ltrs an hour each at 12-13knts, but at 24 knts she's burning 400 ltrs an hour each.

The old Horizon 70 a ran had oversize tanks it took over 3000 gal, but it used sit very low when full, with swim platform slamming in any ripple on anchor.
My old one was much easier on the wallet! Tank was 1900 litres and at a cruising speed of 9 knots we'd do 18 litres/hour if I remember correctly.
Was £3.1 million new, annual running costs were about £300k after everything. Offshore limited company owned by a trust, operated as a commercial charter vessel. Charter = €24k/week + food, fuel and berthing. Average of 9 weeks 3rd party charter per year, and 14 weeks with the boss.

OMG at the cots!!!
And asfor fuel consumption, check out this cruise ship, its actually not the biggest the biggest one is MUCH bigger than this, but I can't find the stat..
"It consumes approximately 28,000 pounds (12,800 kg) of fuel per hour[9], enough to refill a 13 US gallons (49 l; 11 imp gal) tank in a car at one tank a week for over six years"
