Rum Runner said: 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.

Ecstasea is an interesting one. Pumps out over 30,000hp and can hit 32kt apparently.

My all time fave M/Y is Echo/Katana, which is now.......errr.... can't remember! (I'm on my second glass of wine!  ) Apart from Lone Ranger of course! Which has been a big part of my life (and apart from that also, a circumnavigation on a 46ft ketch in 94-95). Bloody hard work on the tug, but it bought my apartment cash.

tuffer said: My mate had a 60ft yacht that he used for Tuna fishing in the Caribbean, he reckoned he went through about $40k worth of fuel in a 3 day dash once.....so multiply that by a LOT. That's a lot of fuel..... actually about 2000 litres per hour for 72 hours. Most 60 footers only hold about 2/3 thousand litres .... !!! My 50 foot only burns about 60/80 lites per hour between 2 350 hp turbo diesels... In the med you will pay from around 100,000 euros for the leasehold interest in a 12m berth and upwards of 500,000 for a 24m. A 40m berth in Antibes could change hand for upwards of 2 million
