We will probably like them as well. http://www.superyachtclassics.com/bluebird/index.html http://www.superyachtclassics.com/talitha/index.ht...http://www.ssdelphine.com/Plenty of sail boats that prove you can build a brand new "classic" properly - Athena, Adele, Erica XII, Hetarios etc There are probably other examples that escape me, but classics aren't really my thing

Lost soul said: 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. Doubt that figure , a mate had a 68' Feretti to tank that up cost about $5,000 which gave a range of abround 350 nm Perhaps he's talking EC dollars, or one of the other funny money caribbean currencies. Plus your Feretti can chew through a full load in 18 hours if the range is only 350nm.

markmullen said: One of my clients used to captain the Dilbar. There have been a couple to date (obviously bigger each time) and even though this one is 110m (360') I'm sure it wont be long before there will be another! The Captains on this size vessel can earn anything from 300k plus and all offshore tax free, so 300k etc is what they get, couple that with it being virtually impossible to spend your own money whilst on board. Also most on this size vessel will work on rotation 3 months on/off. No surprise that many have a garage full of exotica waiting for them shoreside.

Personally I prefer the modern superyachts. My goatee is coming on well so I have narrowed down the field to exclude anything that does less than 25 knots unless it has sails and isn't Maltese Falcon

Oh, and a genuine lol at not being able to spend money on board. Actually I'm shorebased and scrape by month to month but wouldnt swap my life with you guys for all the tea in China, I can see that during the season some yachts would drive me to distraction and places like Antibes are full of jaded old salts that prop up the Blue Lady with no idea how to enjoy permanent life ashore! As for spending money, I meant for stuff that us lubbers have to buy like work clothes, food, insurance etc...Yacht Crews when in port are drawn like moths to a flame in to Apple stores, Prada sunglass emporiums and bars that sell rum&coke at €35 a pop.

When I was on the "rusty green tug" I sometimes wouldn't get ashore for weeks. I spent $5 of my salary one month, on 2 fax's. But when I did get ashore I'd spend it on something like...oh I don't know, an apartment.

Very close knit crew! What struck me was the enormity of running her! Whilst we were waiting to leave two refrigerated food trucks pulled up and unloaded and a fuel tanker came and hooked her up, the costs of running these beauties doesn't bare thinking about!!!! Any idea what, on taking into account all costs, a vessel like this would cost to keep per anum?

That's true on the smaller ones I know from experience Don't know if you can apply the same rule to the biggies though, £6 million seems a lot?

But that's a bargain, as she sold in 97 I think it was, for 18. The new owner then spent another 30 on her, and she was up for 48 before she was donated to the schmidt ocean foundation.

mrloudly said: Any idea what, on taking into account all costs, a vessel like this would cost to keep per anum? Yes actually, I have a fairly good idea. In reality, however 'obscene', or expensive it seems to us mere mortals, the running costs are a small proportion of an incredibly expensive lifestyle. The boat costs (in the case of my boss) are greatly exceeded by his aircraft and house costs. Indeed, the artwork onboard* alone exceeds the value of many of the boats in this thread. We recently completed a reasonable refit/repaint. It took about a year. The cost of which was more than last weeks lotto jackpot, but less than a single figure percentage of his holdings of one companies stock alone! 10% is oft quoted, and probably a reasonable starting point, but there are so many variables that one boat will be very different to another depending on owner/usage/location/etc. * The artworks onboard are actually, as in the case of most boats, copies for insurance purposes. The originals being far away from humidity and sea water.

On the 65m Katalina (now Astarte II) we had 2 original oils by a Dutch painter that was part of the boss's collection. In the saloon, where the aftdeck doors are opened and shut all day and play havoc with the A/C, the poor paintings had a hell of a time. It was hard enough to keep the cigars in the humidor in good nick let alone the oils cracking or sunlight attacking them in the harsh Pacific sun. I calculated they lost half their value in 6 years but all the guests had years of enjoyment from them. What's worth more?
