With Lürssen's recent launch of one of the world's largest yachts I took the opportunity to update you on some of their other huge vessels. And also answer some of your questions and comments. - Авто та транспорт
missed a opportunity there after the talk of ships bells to say "why not ring our bell so you can be notified of our video's"
Humble and modest, confessing or admitting when he gets something wrong.. A rare human trait nowadays.
my favorite fun fact about those bells is it's such a strong tradition that they even use one on the International Space Station (when a new rotation of crew arrives for example)
"Homely" doesn't mean "ugly" in America, it means "plain", whereas in Britain, "homely" means "simple, but cozy and comfortable". David, you were correct in your use of the word.
Hello David,
I'm asking for something different than this yacht review, in that Mangusta revealed thier 165 REV on the 25th July and I hear that it might be showing at the Monaco Yacht Show next month.
I was wondering if you could just pop-on and tour around it, it'll be one of the most sought after yachts to board at the yacht show.
Thanks
Hi David. Lürssen build the best yachts and some of the biggest. Another awesome video thanks 😊
David, thanks for another glimpse into the world of yachting! I am one of those viewers who is intent on winning the lottery, and I like to plan ahead a little. So, I was wondering if you could help me with this slightly abstract question that's been bugging me for a while (and I'm already afraid the answer is going to be "it varies case by case"): when commissioning a superyacht, how is the price tag broken down? In other words, what percentage of the total costs are typically spent in categories such as: Hull; Engineering (engines, nav gear etc); Design (naval, exterior, interior) & testing (CFD, tank test); Interior. Hope you can shed some light!
David,
When doing livestreams, can I recommend that you have somebody off camera monitoring the comment and passing appropriate questions to you to ask the guest? Having you and the guest watch the comments scroll in creates lots of dead air time and you staring into the screen. Keep up the great work.
I feel like I've won an Oscar!
Homely is certainly used in the UK in the way you describe. 'US/UK Two nations divided by a common language' Churchill I think.
In LA once I was asked how am I doing and I said 'I'm fine thanks' and they walked off. I think they thought I was implying I was good looking!
No, they would not think you were being conceited about your looks. In the US, depending on how well you know the person and if you're walking passed each other or actually sitting down to talk, when someone asks "how are you" or "how are you doing" it's almost like saying "Hello." Your response of "I'm fine, thanks," is just like a reply. Almost like you were having the same conversation on bicycles going opposite directions.
Now, if you were sitting down with a familiar friend and they asked "how are you doing," then they would stay and talk. In an odd way, with our busy lives, the response "I'm fine" often means "Things aren't great, but they aren't so bad we need to stop everything we're doing and talk about it."
On the flip side, when a woman you're familiar with says, "I'm fine" or "fine," then it usually means the opposite and you've done something wrong. 😉
Oddities of cultures of similar peoples. 🙂
I'm waiting for the headline "Lurssen launch a small yacht" 😜😁
Ragarding to the azipods: they have to Propellers: one facing forward and The other aft:
Take a Look at the UA-cam Video from Lürssen from April 25th 2022. Great Shot
Another great vid,,, sliding into the premierSHIP league unnoticed ...
I think David is a Rap/Hip-Hop fan and that’s AWSOME‼️
David, have you seen a channel called "Sailing Uma"? A young couple are sailing the world in a 1972 Pearson 36 that they restored and updated. They are fearless. Just went to the Arctic from the Bahamas. Amazing!
Thanks David for the update on Lürssen's beautiful yachts. I have been watching your channel for years. It was the first yacht channel I ever watched & you got me hooked on yachts & fantasizing about being able to perhaps own one someday (though realistically that probably won't ever happen, lol)
LOL David your videos really brighten up my week unbelievably entertaining and funny and most importantly informative about what you do excellent excellent videos always I enjoyed them tremendously over the years and hope to keep watching them for many years to come
The only thing I hate worse than being wrong is staying wrong.
David love your vlogs, thank you for posting. It is much appreciated please keep going.
Hi David, GREAT videos and FYI - I thought you stated the Benetti Pod drives very well in your other video and I thank you for the clarification!! I look forward to your next videos.
I like big boats and I can not lie, you other boaters can't deny, when a boat floats by with an itty bitty keel and a superstructure in your face you have fun.
"I love big boats, and I cannot lie"! Can't wait to see the reveal, thanx Dave! Btw, it is so ironic how the same word will have the exact opposite meaning determined by whether it is used by an American or a Brit.
More more yachts very nice
David, your channel is so informative, I'm glad I subscribed a couple years ago.
Another great video. Those yachts are truly spectacular. You certainly manage to mix-a-lot of content into your videos sir. If I won the lottery I’d buy a big yacht and call it Becky. And one of your mugs., know what I’m sayin..
For those who didn’t get the reference, Sir Mix-a-Lot did a song called Baby Got Back. And one of the notable lines in the song is “I like big butts and I cannot lie”. Oh and Becky is mentioned in the first verse. She had a big butt…
Hi David, any chance of tours around the Italian 50m yachts? Like the Bnow50, bagglieto t52 / tankoa etc
I love Lürssen
I'm from the US. When anyone that I know uses the word homely it means them they feel comfortable with it or it reminds them of being home or it is something describe me a person who like
s to stay home. I never really hear the word homey but it's very common to see the word homie in which refers to someone that's from your home someone you usually grew up with.
I feel so special that you answered my question David. Thank you so much! I learned a lot with that answer. 😆 ⛵ 🌊 🔔
My pleasure Florida Girl!
Thanks!
Homey = "at home"
Homie = "friend"
Ahh, the danger of homonyms.
Great Video! I have Seen just the other day the Lürssen Build Al Lusail. I must say she is a Beauty!!!
great video david, thanks!
The most entertaining part of your video is when you correct yourself. Plus it makes you even more likeable (smart move 😉)
Hello David! You seem to be doing well and less stressed than a few months prior. 🙂 Could you explain what it means when you say "gross tonnage by volume?" My understanding (and this is why I'm confused) is that "gross tonnage by volume" refers to the _air space_ inside a boat, so how do they measure that? And is it the volume of space taking into account just the hull or do they take into consideration doors, walls, storage, etc.?
If you could answer that, or have a shipyard answer that on one of your tours 😉, that would be great.
Thanks, and have a great day!
When I win the lottery, I will need a homey yacht for a homely owner. 😁
Dilbar is definitely not "cruising the world" at the moment =)
I want one of those mugs
one of the most amazing sailing yacht is called the morning glory have a look at that
I can't see the advantage of forward facing propellers. Do they push more water while underway?
The external styling concession to its name might be described as modest.
That opening line David 😂😂😂😂
😎
So now that my lotto funded yacht purchase is approved, she’ll need a fairly extensive refit. Would I be better off going to the Shipyard that built her? What if that builder is now another company? Oceanfast/Austal for example?
Hello David I just want you to know I love your content but I also have a question for you. Seeing that you going to details about the particulars of the M/Y could you go into details about the waste system. I've done a little research on aircraft carriers and they carry up to approximately 46 to maybe 6,000 on board. Approximately how many heads are on a mega yacht for passengers as well as crew members and how does that system operate.
The way prices are going up on fuel, not many people will be able to afford to run this yacht. I'd hate to think the running costs per years as well. We are talking just a hand few would be able to buy and run it. I would imagen it going to cost 10 million plus a year to run.
Less Cavitation on those pods, as the flow is undisturbed prior to propeller contact.
bell joke is funny
Beautiful mega yacht :) thanks for showing us David :) If I did win the lottery I would absolutely would use Northrop &Johnson Brokerage to Charter or buy a yacht :)
I am so sad this yacht could not beat Dilbar’s gross tonnage. I weep for the owner.
Ok, I was under the impression that Fulk Al Salamah was part of the Royal Navy of Saudi Arabia(????). It has been called a support vessel for Al Said although it's larger. If so, it wouldn't count as a superyacht per se kind of along the lines of REV. If it's gonna count as a superyacht, at 164 meters and 20,0000 GT, it's the largest superyacht by volume. I've seen it on some lists and not seen it on others.
Interesting. I see you have changed your watch? What is that one? Read the comments on pod-drives. Assie Pods? Nope - they are Azi-pods (short for 'Azimuthing'). Some pull, some push (in relation to the centre drive) in forward motion. Some are level, some are even angled upwards.
I like to look at them but I wouldn't want to own one above the 50-60m sweet spot.
Was the Dilbar material a pitch in disguise for the rights to sell that sanctioned vessel 🤔
Which brings us to another fun fact: Blue is the largest free vessel by volume in the world!
Great video again... loved the outro.
Volvo Penta are the best engines you can have in a yacht, ever.
Thanks!
... hi, David ... well, cheer's I send your way ... have just ordered my Mug ... & Hoodie ... hope the $10 spot will buy you a coffee? LOL ... my Yachts for Sale goods will make for great conversation in the Rockies LOL ... 💛 ... bye' for now ...
In the words of rapper MC Hammer " I like big boats and I like them now"...lol. thanks David!
I do like big boats and I surely do not lie.....I am wondering about a mid tier boat though...the Bering 145.....any gossip on when me might get that walk through?
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
I was pleasantly surprised about learning that “homely” actually meant something that was ugly…. Compared to “Homey” meaning something that is pleasant
You should narrate books or films.
Is there a limit on the length of a super yacht? For instance is it possible to own a 1000+ ft yacht. I always thought a massive yacht that takes inspiration from battleships but in a super modern new look to them.
The running costs of that would be horrendous. Finding a place to berth. The energy required to move her.
Incredibly impractical, I would think. To say the least.
I don't think legally there's a limit; it's all about costs and practicality. A cruise ship could be converted to a yacht just by eliminating the number of rooms. As Almost YummyMummy stated, the costs would be unimaginable for us. _Generally speaking_ the costs of running a luxury yacht are 10% of its purchase price per year. So these $300 million giga yachts cost $30 million per year to run.
But when you're a multi-billionaire....
@@grondhero damn. Just went to Google size of today's cruise liners. The biggest is almost 1200 feet.
That converted to a super (!!??) yacht... Boggles the mind.
@@almostyummymummy yeah probably like $100million a year
I have a question if I may: Do the crews on yachts eat the same food as the guests. Would a Michelin star chef be expected to cook for the crew as well?
Most super yachts have two chefs, one for guests and another for crew
They are all amazing yachts, but I'd rather have the money that just one of them cost. lol.
Speaking of alicante. Go see astendoa
Frankly, when you get up to these gigayachts... If they serve a purpose like Octopus and REV, it's fantastic. If they're just somebody's vacation place, I find it getting into the realm of the ridiculous. But, anyone can use their own money as they see fit, and I can still admire the building of them, and it's lots and lots of work for the people who work for the yards, and that's a good thing. And of course, these enormous yachts have the added advantage, that if you bring your dog with you, it can get it's exercise just from taking a few turns on the upper deck 😂
The 10% rule can apply to which yacht you can afford and maintain.
Example. If your wealth is $10 million. You can afford a $1 million yacht over time.
$10mil. - $1mil = $9mil
9mil with 3% dividends = $270.000/y, which gives you plenty of room for unexpected expences.
Note. If you buy a 30 year old 85ft yacht for 1mil, then the maintanence can be higher than 10%.
Always do the maths before you buy.
Which Lurssen yacht was the one that caught fire a few years ago? Was it scrapped or has it been completed? If so, what's it's name?
Motor Yacht 'The One' or ex Carinthia VI.
At what point do mini cruise ships get turned into yachts?
When they are owned by a private person (or his shell Company) ?
Funny how all these new superyachts are copying the design of Leander G. When I was a young steward on Katalina 2, I showed my drawings to Claus Kusch of the new boat. He ummed and arrred and said Yes, that's pretty much it. It's the upright front windows that was new, never seen before.
For me this Megayacht is a couple of number to big in my taste-A superyacht around 25-30 meter would be enough for me. Edit I had hope for an answer to my former question-What is a qualified buyer ?
How many meters is it?
Personally I use homely to mean something that makes you feel like home in a positive sense. Always thought the people using homely in negative fashion were just being sarcastic. Maybe look up the word "cozy" can't recall anyone describing yacht as cozy before on youtube so you can break new ground.
The Thai national lottery has a top pay-out of $500, its going to be awhile before I'm a qualified buyer.

My favorite video done by David is the mangusta 165. When I was in middle school I had a Lego set boat that looked like that, except it had missiles and a radar dish in the bow… and wheels, it had wheels… I enjoy how informative David is throughout his videos. If I could get a yacht, I would put it up in a habitation park and charge people a boat load to live in it… I’d like to thank Zillow for the current housing crisis. Also my buddy whom I told to take advantage of Zillow causing the housing crisis. Dude gets to charge an arm and leg and still not feel bad cause Zillow exists. I’m not entirely sure I used whom properly. Next time you’re out on your yacht, remember to pack some jalapeño poppers… you can get all the stuff at HEB.

Good day! Thank you for this great channel sharing a mutual passion. Is it possible to help me with a list of 5 biggest yachts for sale currently. When I Google everybody's list is different due to different ship yards and so forth as you know. I'd really appreciate it if you could help! Stay blessed
Speaking of mistakes, at 2:22 you call Azzam the 'largest' yacht in the world (but correct yourself later on in the video by saying it's the longest).
That's not a yacht, it's a damn cruise ship
Nice boat but she’s no Nord.
I don’t need the biggest. I want the Best. I want a Feadship!!!!
♫ I like big boats I con not lie ♫ ☻☻☻
Is this the boat built for the sanctioned Russian owner of the company?
According to Superyacht Fan: We were told that project Blue is a replacement for Topaz (now known as A+). That means that the yacht’s owner is Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan. His brother Sheikh Abdulla is the owner of the 146-meter project OPERA.
@@jamesclendon4811 ahhh, thank you
No, - It has been built for the Abu Dhabi sheiks.
If you win the lottery for quite a few hundred million(after taxes), or even a hundred million and invest it In a high interest savings account or some other stable form investment making say 1 to 3%, that is 1 to 3 million per year. Thus a stable income of money. Buying a yacht for 25 million and using the laughable but somewhat accepted 10% rule means you need 2.5 million per year and that you are bringing in $750,000 (assuming you used 25 million for the purchase of the yacht and a 1% return. A 3% return generates $2,250,000 per year) both of these numbers greatly offset the running costs. Obviously a person with that much wealth would be subjected to taxes and need a home if not living on the yacht, and cars....lots and lots of cars. But for me, it's a yacht. A 125 or 145' Bering. Which is 13 or 23 million. Then a shadow vessel and my yacht to carry a submarine, 2 RIBS. 3-4 Sea Doos, towing a Boston Whaler 42' and also 2 ATV's. This would be the research vessel too. Functional luxury. I was thinking about the Arksen 85, a Damen or maybe a custom Bering 85 or 92. Although the new Damen SeaXplorers look like just one could do the job so...(Sorry Alexei)... As I circumnavigate the globe with my family, we would take in various scientists in the shadow boat. 3 cabins, 7-8 guests and 4 crew. 6-12 family on my big boat with 7-10 crew. That's my dream. Would love to hear other people's.
Its mine.
What ever happened to Wider yachts? You did a number of fantastic exposes on Wider pre covid, but now nothing. Have they not produced anything of significance of late?
Hi Roostar, thanks for leaving a comment on this video. The answer to that question can be found here. Hope it helps: ua-cam.com/video/HOugfJAYpQE/v-deo.html
@@Yachtsforsaleblog thank you. I missed that video!
Homey! Homely! Just remember you're English and we invented the English language used by Americans. If we define a word, we're right they're wrong.😄
Even though a lottery win is a one time thing, assuming you do not spend the entire lottery win a
on the yacht, you should have sufficient money left to enable you to generate income sufficient to cover operating costs. At least that goes in to my calculus. If I win 10 million in the lottery, and spend 1 million on a yacht that leaves me 9 million to invest which would generate substantial earnings. Even at 3% it would generate about 2.7 million to cover costs, and at 7% it would generate 6.3 million. But, since I will never win the lottery, It is just a fantasy.
Those were some very impressive ships.Regarding the 'lottery win/ship buy'.I wasn't going to spend more than $350-500K of the $497M on a revamped 50-65' ship.(so many great choices).Sadly,I missed all 5 numbers and the mega-ball.I'll find a nice used kiyak soon though.
I saw topaz the owner of the blue and I remember I was shocked about the dimension of topaz. I though was so unfair that someone has so much money to afford one of those things, now the same owner though topaz wasn't good enough e build blue. That's why this fucking world need a massive meteorite to wipe out this planet like when is happen to the dinosaur
Hey David I see you are still having a hard time buying a razor should I send in Donations for a sharp blade lol.

Please let's stick with the queen's English and use the language in the proper sense. Let's not change the way we speak and use words because of 'some local dialects'. Lets face it there is a huge difference between English and American and Homely is just one of them. Written with HUMOUR in mind (yes with OU) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why should we be correcting the Queen's (or King's) English for the Yanks?! If they want to say "homely" means ugly or plain, that's THEIR business. Why should the rest of the English-speaking world have to adapt because the Yanks feel different?!
Almost all British boat presenters use the word " homely", while I find this somewhat irritating, I know what they mean. I can translate English to English very well. ))) Nick on Aquaholics catches himself very often when using the word homely. Also, heads instead of head. Not really a big deal.
I find American English irritating
Why do all Lurssen yachts look exactly the same? Anyhoo...with a crew of 96, you've got crew cooking and looking after the crew. Not exactly smart. economics.
Magnificent boats indeed, but, who in the world got money to buy one of these ???
And, what a hack to do with one ? Just to play big ? (look .... what a bog toy i.ve got !!!)
.... No offense please, we are on planet Earth, also we are (most of us ... i suppose), regular people.
What for to spend a huge amount of money (you need three lifes to save them). The only way to afford such a vessel is winning lottery.
Yes, Gates, Bezos, Musk and a few others, for sure they have money to buy one.
Goodluck my friend to sale one of these !
RESPECT & CONSIDERATION for what you do !! Keep em coming and i will be here to watch & like.
Fugly is another word for ugly in the U.S.
Screen shots and office chair vlogs are getting boring ….
Hi Bob, they’re just once a week. Watch out for Saturday’s video of a very cool sailing yacht!
All disgusting and totally unnecessary. The environment is so happy when these "petit bourgeois" monsters are created.
all these large yachts look the same and the idea is so ugly Its not very classy
