do superyachts actually go anywhere?

if I had one then i'd actually enjoy traveling long distances, as traveling is kind of the point in a boat imo

I saw Olive in Antigua in February and keep an eye on her Captains log here;

It gives you a good guide on how much work goes on and how much time the owners spend on board, albeit not a super yacht.

Doesn’t matter how much fuel you have, you’re never going to the South Pole in a superyacht.

Think you missed the point. No boat of any kind can get to the south pole.

I'm sure I saw this yacht sailing out of Stockholm a few weeks ago. Can anyone confirm?

Seems likely considering it’s in Riga now just across the way.

I would love to see The Flying Dutchman appear next to it, give them a bit of a Pirates of the Caribbean fright

South Pole no obviously but how about Antarctica?

I think plenty of super yachts move about. Ed saw some in Copenhagen that we’re thete for a day and then gone. Mind you, they probably decided they couldn’t afford the price of a cup of coffee there.

I saw A on the Thames then others posted pics in different locations around the world. They definitely move.

Yep, no problem if you have the right certification

We get invoiced after delivery, and then assuming no letter of protest (fuel quality does not meet specs* etc), payment is by bank transfer to the bunker agent at some point after that. Depending on your next port of call (outside EEA) or whether commercially registered or private, the price can be anywhere between 0.70 and 1.30 EUR at the moment in the Med.

* The specification is agreed upon in advance, but just in case you are not getting quite what you asked for samples are taken throughout the bunkering process, all are witnessed and sealed and one is sent away for analysis. The issued report, usually received a few days later will give the exact chemical properties of the fuel. The main ones to look out for (for distillate fuels) are sulphur content, flash point.

Thank-you.

Have you ever had to dispute the results with the agent?

Amazing thing if it is - saw it in Antibes last summer.

Indeed it is. An excuse to post the promo video again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEk-WlnEkQw

Just fantastic

Holy st it has a landing craft

Also, unless you have quarantine tanks don’t you have to then use it anyway?

Spotted this in Sotogrande (Spain) a couple of days ago, no idea of name but not too shabby. Not sure it’s quite of the landing craft category but I wouldn’t say no.

Is that one of the big Sunseekers?

Only once. Ended up having to pump it all back off the boat. The flashpoint was below the minimum therefore illegal to have onboard and a potential hazard. Bit of a headache admin wise and a long couple of days. Fortunately we weren't in any rush at that time.

You try not to mix tanks, and again try not to use any of the new fuel until the lab analysis is back, but sometimes due to operational constraints you have no choice. Bigger vessels (cruise ships etc.) will do their own onboard analysis during the bunkering procedure in addition to the 3rd party independent lab, which should give early warning if something is not right. That said, larger vessels burn residual fuels which have a higher chance of containing nasty stuff, whereas we burn distillate fuels (champagne).

Not a super yacht i know but this was in Kassiopi in Corfu on the 8th August can anyone either identify it or the type ?

Cheers. Seems a bit daft for Diesel given the cost of lab equipment and the speed of the test. Residual fuels a fair bit different as you need to do mass spec. and spend about 8hrs running the main tests.

It looks quite a bit bigger than an S6. The yacht pictured looks at least 90ft.

[Burwood]

It is an Azimut 'Grande 27' i.e 88ft

Ugly Ugly Ugly.

I hope that big window in the side makes for a nice room, because it's bloody horrid from here.
