I love this thread. Keep the pics coming!
I must say a friend of mine told me that "one's yacht isn't big enough until you can land a helicopter on it" hahaha
Saw Le Grand Blue and thought it looked RANK.


Dilbar looks nice I think.
And actually, that captain of industry who has been so honoured in the press recently, Mr (Sir) Phil Green, his new boat Lionheart looks fantastic too.

Don't forget his lordship's 108 foot Mangusta "Lionchase". Sweet combo.

I'm not a fan. Looks too fussy and like a massive floating training shoe to me.

The owner is a complete as well

Eclipse and Luna
Eclipse has been in Golf Juan for a few days at least. Seems to have popped round to Nice earlier but is heading back here. Most impressive. Mind you, there are quite a few here at the moment.

Anastasia, Sunrays, Nirvana to name but three.

That has the aesthetics of a £300k speedboat. Why on earth do they do that.

Îd rest my case on your comment. Fine doesn't cut it. Even for the mega wealthy this us a very important buy. Lacks any imagination. Plastic crap essentially. Many other lively yachts but not this one

If you can get down to Falmouth harbour there's one of the owners of Walmart's yatch there, costing a cool £160 million a few years back and just finished it's £40 million refit.

I'll see if I can dig out some pictures. One thing is that you have to respect the engineering!

So .. I think the "submarine hulled" boat belongs to Oleg Derepaska - and .. I saw Eclipse (Abramovic's boat) in Turkey in 2014 - Can post pictures if someone tells me how!

Didn't get the name, but was anchored outside the port in Amalfi Italy overnight.

Not sure the upload will work from iPhone, but I used to live in Bermuda and the Eclipse could regularly be seen berthed there in its 'home' port. Not sure if Roman was ever on it while it was there, but apparently it had all manor of counter measures to attack on board...[url]

As a sad story - and I'm going to keep direct names and relations out of it for hopefully understandable reasons:

An immediate relative of mine was on the board of a company and friends with the son of a Super Yacht builder. He (the son) was the owner of one of the yachts - 85m, fuel capacity of 250k litres and a range of 70k miles.

His father was killed in the mumbai hotel terrorist attacks and everything was sold. The name lives on as a charter company. The yacht in question was sold for 85m gbp and refurbished / renamed in 2012.

Forgive me for being so vague - I hope you can understand the sensitivity. The yacht has its own wiki page and I have the charter brochure for her somewhere at home. She was offered to my sister and I as a wedding reception venue should either of us happen to get married - having looked at the charter brochure, that was a rather generous offer..!

I do love yachts but gosh I'm not sure I could swallow the ownership cost. A wander around Puerto Banus harbour is enough to realise there's a whole different world of wealth out there!

Sidetracking slightly, would anyone know very roughly how much a small yacht, maybe 50-60ft would cost to run in terms of fuel, and how much moorings would be in the med? At the very start of my journey to owning, so have absolutely zero idea of costs involved, or even legalities of traveling around the open waters!

A 70k range? Can that be right?

7k could be about right.
