“The market’s been roaring,” Sam Tucker, head of superyacht research at London-based VesselsValue, told Bloomberg. The number of transactions in recent quarters “was record-breaking — the secondhand market is absolutely red hot. (And) it’s impossible to get a slot in a new-build yard. They’re totally booked.” here
Turns out, the pandemic has also buoyed luxury boat sales. While Bezos had already commissioned his superyacht a couple of years before the pandemic, other high net worth individuals set their sights on super-sized yachts in 2020 — particularly “explorer yachts” that can cruise for 9,000 nautical miles without needing to refuel. Director Steven Spielberg has reportedly ordered a new yacht, and his current Oceanco superyacht, Seven Seas, has been listed for sale at around $158 million. more
So the super-rich had plenty of money to buy fancy boats — even with the operating costs averaging about 10% of a boat’s value, or upward of $60 million a year on the high end. here
The 417-foot luxury vessel from Dutch yachtmaker Oceanco boasts three masts, several decks, and a price tag that’s estimated to be upward of $500 million. It will be one of the largest sailing yachts ever built in the Netherlands, which is where many luxury boats for the super-rich are crafted. But this superyacht is missing a helipad — because of all those enormous masts — so Bezos and his helicopter pilot partner, Lauren Sanchez, have commissioned a second “support yacht” complete with helipad. And that support yacht is not included in that initial half-a-billion dollar estimate.
Of course, that’s just pocket change for Bezos, the world’s richest person whose total net worth is within spitting distance of $200 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. He just added $75 billion to his wealth last year, alone, as Amazon shares spiked due to the COVID-19 lockdowns and social distancing measures fueling a rise in online shopping.
Reportedly owned by Russian tycoon Andrey Melnichenko, the luxury yacht of Motor Yacht A, is reminiscent of a stealth warship or submarine and has been constructed by Architect Martin Francis and designed by Philippe Stark. It has been built by Blohm and Voss shipyard in Kiel and can accommodate 14 guests and 42 crew members. more
