Why are you quoting dollars? You become a yank oil barron all of a sudden :grin:
+1
A 105ft Predator Sunseeker can be about £8million. As you get bigger the prices increases more sharply (as 50ft Sunseekers or similar are around <£1.2million), along with all your options (which the list is longer and more expensive than Ferraris list!
)and running costs.A guy we know of had a 70ft, and recently traded it in for a 100ft. But had even more trouble 'parking' it up, so bought a hotel in the south of France where he could put it out front, and now runs the hotel as well!
lol, thats one way of doing it! Edit: Do you mind me asking, where abouts are you? The setting certainly doesnt look like the UK.

These yachts are around £1m / metre. Crazy money to run and they get shipped around the world on the backs of tankers. well some do anyway.(the fuel used by these tankers is about 200 tonnes of oil.........per day!!!)
Someone i know has a crazy 80 metre yacht but doesnt like the sea so he has it delivered to wherever he likes and gets there on his jet. He likes to have business meetings on it twice a year. makes it worth it!!!!:shocked:

And I'll bet the yacht has got a Dingy on the back. After all the owner is Russian! :wink3:
Various points:
Going back to the original post isn’t that a Mangusta? If so it probably isn’t a steel hull. Looks like a 60M to me assuming the tender is 6M. Also probably early 90’s given the rake of the 1st desk?
That Abroamivch yacht was berthed in Malta this weekend. It’s been there twice that I know of recently. Last time they put the wrong fuel in and had to flush the whole thing out!
Aren’t Sunseeker the TVR of motor yachts?
A rule of thumb I heard was that you can estimate 10% of a yacht’s purchase price as an annual budget. At least in the case of Paul Allens 200M USD yacht which IIRC is the largest private yacht in the world at the mo!
