See Lagom or perhaps wabi-sabi. No doubt there are others.
Not to say if I suddenly found myself with a spare 10 million smackeroonies I wouldn't buy something most would consider very expensive, but the boat that impressed me most at the Southampton boat show last year was the Nordhavn 64, at only about 1.6million GBP. Anything more I don't need.
More details
Not usually a fan of that style boat but I'm liking that a lot. Looks a bargain too.

Better still... A PH member is the Yacht Manager for this yacht. (ACE) 
Here she is with her 'Chase Boat' GARCON.
Post from a while back but caught it in Port Vell the other day. Absolutely stunning. Ulyssys was next to it and though absolutely huge, I wouldn't have to think twice which one I'd prefer!Here she is with her 'Chase Boat' GARCON.

think these trawler styled boats are for the more serious adventurer not the playboy type. I have been sitting for hours now looking at the bloody things, as i did when it appeared on the previous page!!! what sort of costs are involved in running a boat of this type?
With used boats setting aside 10% of the capital cost a year will typically give you change after paying storage, mooring, maintenance and indirect running costs; like running a classic car some years you'll be hit with expenses, machinery failure etc, some years you'll get lucky.Specifically for one of those, aside from the £1m+ to buy it you'll burn 1-1.5 tonnes of diesel every 24 hrs while underway.

A few points on trawler style rigs. Not looking to argue at all but fuel use is tiny. The Nordhavn is the cream of the crop. This yacht would set you back 3m gbp. Fuel burn 2.5 gallons per hour. Running costs would not be 10% . You could sail anywhere globally in this battle ship. If would outperform a yacht 3 times it's size
But buy god they are slow!Edited by Burwood on Saturday 30th April 09:22

Here's a website run by a Nordhavn owner, he's done a few modifications and travels around the world on it whilst working for amazon, IIRC he lists running costs or at least fuel usage and the like in one of his blog posts.Edited by Burwood on Saturday 30th April 09:22

Interesting bling, thanks for posting Silent
he says up to 5gph. I'm sure I'll find it but he must have a gazzilion hours in those engines.
That fuel burn figure is for trolling along at about half power in a smaller boat, that said even that one will be burning close to a tonne a day at full speed. he says up to 5gph. I'm sure I'll find it but he must have a gazzilion hours in those engines.hidetheelephants said:
