How to Run a $14 Million Superyacht | WSJ Operating Costs

If your rich. Just charter

1.9 million a year to maintain seems like a good deal. I'm all in!

it's not $1800 per SQUARE inch. when the guy said $1800/inch, he meant $1800 per LINEAR inch, which, on a 100ft boat, is $2.16M. Probably won't be that much, maybe a quarter of that.

More money more problems

Good way to launder money

Learn to use de-esser please

Well If I ever win a Billion dollars in the Lotto-I will never buy a Yacht

Heather Locklear narrating?? She must be broke

Great I want to buy this yacht

14 Million for that tiny boat? Such a joke

The crazy thing is…there’s people that can afford this 😭😭😭😭😭 I’ve never felt so broke in my life

Cheaper to charter one for a week write it off for your business for meetings

Hire Filipinos 6 man Crew you'll spend $100,000 a year

just imagine owning that marina.......

The name of the yacht suggests that it was purchased with drug money.

I assume that they are renting them to themselves and it’s all used as a tax write off?

I'll save myself some time & money and just buy a reasonable size boat that doesn't cost so much to maintain. You can get just as much enjoyment out of a smaller boat as you can out of a big yacht without spending that much.

It should be forbidden to even manufacture something like that for a private owner

Big boat big problems

So I'm guessing the boat owners aren't into the while climate change industry? Then they'd just be hypocrites right?

Well I'm going to buy me a canoe 🛶. I can barely keep gas in my vehicle!

you can see why the charter business is so busy, unless u can justify the time and effort, you are better off paying a few hundred grand a year and chartering a large yacht and not have the hassles of ownership. However, if you use the boat a lot and see the value in it and you can afford it, then u need to accept the cost of ownership. a lot of 1% ers value the privacy and the ability to escape that a large yacht can give them and their families.

It doesn't matter how much money you have. Owning a yacht is stupid. The liability involved is just insane. You'd need to spend every moment of your waking life on it to make it worth it.

Eat the rich.

Boat = a hole in the water you pour money into

Does anyone actually believe these numbers?

120 galons/h and I can't drive my diesel to the centre of the city here in Europe🤡

What great job creation vehicles! Let the rich have them because vast numbers of people feed off them.

Docking costs 43.50 to $7.50 per feet per day?
That's only $622.50 at max for this 83-feet superyacht with at least 3 rooms and a the owner suite, and Spa. Thinks about it.

I'm rethinking my yacht purchase.

So terrible investment, got it. And here I thought the super rich proclaimed to be smart w their money.

Superyachts are a great symbol of the super rich to show off they are destroying the planet a million times faster than the average Joe.

Wild, so you have rich people who have enough money to buy a yacht. But then you have semi-rich people who can only afford to spend 1 week on a yacht at a cool $150k a week.

Always reassuring to see a deck officer doing machinery related tasks...😳

What do you use on the teak flooring?

Why would electronics go bad sitting?

see the safety issues and rack them up

isn't it better to rent one rather than buying it?

This makes 100k a yacht charter seem like pennies all of a sudden... pppfewww 😂

And its not even a BIG boat

There is no official distinction between vessel size. So 82 feet doesn’t mean it’s a “Superyacht”. I wish there was a standard; then we could have proper classes.

Good info. I guess this means there is no such thing as a great deal on a used yacht.

Quit saying ‘invest’ this is SPENDING. You are the WSJ and should know better.

Don't own a yacht..have a friend who has one. Don't buy an airplane..have a friend who has one. Don't own an RV..have a friend who has one. Don't buy a summer home..have a friend who has one. Don't get married..have a friend who is.

I won't be buying 1 this year

So glad these toys are not a necessity of life. The expenses are eye watering!

id rather own a jet that way i can fly from bermuda to the cayman islands, onto monaco and than leichtenstein and switzerland

RIP off
