Megayacht for bodybuilder?

[Skylge]

Noticed this yacht under construction on superyachttimes.com. Highly unusual to have such a large gym on board a relatively small superyacht. I've seen similar yachts irl built by the same yard, and 70 square meters (approx 700 square feet) is enormous for a gym on a 51 meter/170 ft yacht . Fitness area's are common, but the size of this gym is remarkable.
At the moment there's probably only one builder who can afford such a megayacht, or maybe it will be built for someone else in the fitness industry?

As a practical matter a boat can be too big.  Assuming you have deepwater dockage in your back yard (which is typical in parts of Florida) you want a boat that you can use with family and friends without needing a crew.  This usually means a boat under 90’.

If you don’t have a deepwater dockage in your back yard then you are paying through the nose for dock fees and taxes.  You might be thinking, “if you can afford a nice boat then you can easily afford the dock fees.”  Wrong!  Talk to anyone who owns a sizeable boat and they will tell you that those fees sting, and they will do anything to avoid them; many boaters in FL will buy a house specifically because it has deep water dockage or it has space in the back yard (or adjacent to the garage) to store a boat.  If you own a house with dockage but don’t (yet) own a boat you can easily rent out your dockage space to a desperate boat owner who is trying to avoid sky-high commercial dock fees for a nice monthly income.

In my dreams the biggest boat I could imagine owning is the Predator 92 Sport. http://www.sunseeker.com/showboat.php?bid=26  In the real world the biggest boat, I would go for is the Predator 64 http://www.sunseeker.com/showboat.php?bid=29  Obviously, I am partial to Sunseeker as I think they are a grade above Sea Ray http://www.searay.com/Page.aspx/pageId/10211/Yachts-52-61.aspx

Of course there are even more upscale makers like Trinity but even in Palm Beach you don’t see boats like that.  That grade is pretty much limited to the billionaires--not people living in the real world.  http://www.trinityyachts.com/

According to this Russian site (quite difficult to find new prices of large yachts online, secondhand is much easier) newprice is about 38 million euro's. I don't know the current exchange rate, but say approx 40 million US Dollars?

So about 80 mil new, lolz at playbay. What a fucking smuck.

Most of these boats are in the 300-400 mill range. Ships are not cheap, there no assembly lines, and only a few of each make are ever built.

Btw, the market for megayachts has crashed in recent years.

Even modest boating (by comparison) is a pricey hobby.  Boats have to be stocked with food, wine and other liquors.  I used to go boating with a buddy of mine who had a 40” and every time the boat went out it took $500 in gasoline to fill the tank.  Repairs and service bills are endless.  It is true what they say about boat owners: the two happiest days of your life are the day you buy the boat and the day you get rid of it.  It is a serious money pit and really only makes sense if you can write it all off as a business expense.

My boat owning friend told me once, “you don’t really want to own a boat; you want to be friends with someone who ones a boat.”  It was and remains good advice.  That way you experience all the joys of being invited to go boating . . . without any of the headaches of ownership.

Has Jay already one coming?  He needs to move to new house again to build big enough pool in backyard so this yacht can fit in 

[mass243]

By the way, that ain't nothing but a peanut compared to Russian business man Roman Abramovich's private 'yacht'

Lol, dude lives in Vegas, unless they build Sand Yachts, it's a luxury he can do without.

Plus, boats depreciate faster than cars do...they drop like the proverbial anchor.
