I want to get one so I can travel to the North Pole. I want to meet the beings that live inside the Hollow Earth. Anyone out there could I borrow some money?😎 I figure all I need is maybe 150 million dollars. I can take a check. 😇😇
That's what I always think on the other videos when I'm fantasizing about owning one of those sleek stylish looking ones. Can this thing hold its own in the middle of the ocean for long distances? Guess they make those.
I will never be a yacht owner. However I love watching these videos I find them informative and fascinating! Thank you for putting these together and sharing! 💥💥
Levin Neighbors the wheels are turning but making millions isn’t the easiest thing! Sellable skills and creativity along with money are needed to reach the level needed in order to achieve yacht money!
Thank you for the ‘touch and go’ versus ‘hanger’ differences. Very logical. Impressive class of yachts. I love the ‘go anywhere’ approach to the explorer class, even though they tend to place function over form. Meaning... I find their size and functionality incredible, but I am less than impressived with their ‘over the top’ bow lines. Thanks for the video.
Now we're talking. I'm not a big fan of the vertical bow looks but understand the advantages to waterline length. It won't break ice very well as it won't slide up on it, then again she isn't an ice breaker but an exploration yacht. My guess is she is hell for stout and I want one. Thank you! Note: I just went thru their site. I am impressed. Who would think to have the yacht built with the stern as the ice breaking end. At first I didn't understand until I read that. Amazing. Yes, I definitely want one. Since I'm dreaming, let's go all the way. 105 it is.
Why is the axe bow preferred over the bulbous bow for explorer applications? and why is the bulbous bow not good at rough-sea conditions? Can you please help me understand? I tried my best to know the difference but couldn't find a professional answer; most were done but people pretending they know the difference.
I like all this. I retired at 48 having reached the jet and helicopter level. My back-of-the-envelope math says I need about $30mm disposable which would allow a vessel in the 150' range, plus ten years of expenses at the 10% of value estimate. If one or more of my current business interests work well out I might go for it. In the ultimate irony, before retiring I bought 2200 acres, built a high fence all around it, and try hard to never leave. I'd like to get away but after 25 years in business I'd rather not be around people any more than I have to.
It's very interesting - only an easterner...or someone from the city would call 2200 acres a lot - in the west --- we measure "A LOT" in Square Miles...anything less than 20 sq miles is a hobby farm. By the way, your numbers are off - you need a comfortable net worth of $1B, to then comfortably be able to justify one of these vessels, which even the smallest 55m are in the $150M acquisition cost. Do the numbers from there, and go to the Damen website - with a full time crew of around 20, anywhere in the world is at least another $1 - 2M(top five crew are making double if not triple the rest of them, so figure closer to $2M/yr)...then the vessel needs to maintain at roughly that amount, and fuel costs are not a small number, but relatively small - linear to usage - but another $1M, so at least $5M/yr - so using your words, ten years, try 30%. 2200 acres, stick with renting a yacht here and there.
I have to admit that I hated the look of these explorer yachts but they have been starting to grow on me the last few days. I'm liking them more and more
"When I say La Datcha to you, what comes to your mind?" Well the first thing I thought of was "Bless you!" but I guess that's not quite right... I'll just go ahead and watch the clip.
Really interesting product! The exploration charter business seems to be growing right now with more offerings. But I really couldn't call a larger than 35m yacht a "go anywhere" one. Of course you have the "toys" and tenders, but there is a difference to having your mother ship anchored 2 miles away vs 0.5 mile.
They are something else. No playing at being explorer yachts, these are the full ticket. It would be good if you could get a look at the inside of one so we could see what it’s like
Very nice video, i admire the way you make a different and interseting story at ever episode. Also i would like to know some tips for a such great career in yachting industry as I am also involved in small yacht industry ( 40 to 60 ft motor) mainly as skipper and recently in refit managing. Thanks for you time to read me and suggestion to start are welcome
I wish you could make documentary about what kind of boats & ships turned in to a yacht's if some can by a tanker in to a yacht then I am sure other can be turned into a yacht's
Designed in Holland, built in Turkey, mainly bought by Russians. A combination of 3 countries that don't score high when it comes to good taste or high quality. I expect the interior to look mainly beige, gold and brown, with thick carpets. On the positive I do appreciate a boat that is actually meant for sailing, and not to be put on display in a marina.
Nice. But how about a small nuclear reactor? These reactors are in development, basically the concept is to build the reactor in a factory and then ship it out to wherever it is needed. Those things aim for the size of a few shipping containers so a larger yacht could be able to hold one.
@@thatguy7091 The whole reactor assembly goes back to the factory, they overhaul it and take the spent fuel rods out. After processing the rods the freed plutonium is food for fast breeder reactors producing much electricity and leaving no serious radioactive waste. There are many different options how to design nuclear reactors and different options to deal with spent fuel which do not require storage for aeons. The waste problem is mostly solved in terms of science and technology and was never that big to begin with. On a yacht you might one day run a molten salt reactor anyways - working with liquid nuclear fuel.
@@wearandtear6692 removing a nuclear reactor out of a yacht seems very difficult as you cant just turn these things on and off also the thing is having a nuclear reactor means you have to pump an extreme amount of water to cool it which would not sit well with a marina.
If I had the financial means to buy a yacht like that, I would offer the yacht on selected trips to oceanographic research institutions. That way, I could participate in scientific endeavors with an experienced crew (and students).
"You can keep your chopper safe from the elements..." I would guess that would be the first thing you would want in an explorer yacht. Even the Vikings had that...otherwise they would only be able to burn and pillage...
finally someone take support/errv vessel and made yacht out of it....seaxplorer 105 is excelent example.This is what i call super yacht everything else pales in comparison.
Alright, alright. You sold me. I’d like 2 of the 105 meter yachts. Yeah, so just go ahead & put me down for two, so I can have spare parts or if I just wanna brings a ton of friends when I go fishing with my dogs. Payment wise I can do about $450 maybe $475 a month for about 4 years works well for me. Don’t worry, I’m still gonna put a $500 buck downpayment. Maybe $1000 depending on if my jobs direct deposit hits in time. Just draw up the contracts & i’ll swing by the office to sign, say on Tuesday, next week good for you? Great! Ya know, this was easier than I thought. Folks always say that buying a fishing boat takes a long time. Well, with all the research n stuff. I just need to adjust my truck hitch so I can pull her home in my F350! Wow are my 3 dogs gonna love this! You my friend are one hell of a salesman. Gonna throw in a nice good tip for you, maybe $5 or $10 bucks! BALLIN!!!
is it possible to build a unique luxury yacht with twin full size heli pads & a proper fully integrated large helo hangar??? space inside the hangar should be able to accommodate upto 5 Sikorsky S-92 helo or 5 NH90 maritime helos with space to spare inside the hangar!!! one more thing the twin heli pad (flight deck) should also be able to handle take off & landing of MV-22H Sea Osprey tiltrotor!!! price of this unique yacht should be no more than €10.0 Mn euros (inclusive of optional add ons, if any)!!!
One of these days you wont need one of these explorer yachts to explore the polar regions, because there will be no ice left just get on your motorboat and cruise through the north pole.
You do realize we have had warm and cold trends over he last 50k years right? Stop getting your science from mainstream media. We even had a mini ice age in the 17th century..
I was like, "Sub to you? Sorry gov, I've already subbed to too many channels to follow. Best of luck with other people." Scrolled down and saw that I'm already subbed to you. Ehhh...
la datcha is a great company but am pretty sure not even they can currently make a luxury explorer that breaks ice in reverse..thumbnail needs to be fixed
Hi Sam, thanks for watching the vlog...and paying such close attention to the thumbnail! Check out the Damen website in the link...it’s actually preferable for an ice breaker to use the props to cut through the ice rather tan push the bow through. Who’d have thought???
While I´m sitting here, daydreaming about elusive unobtainable goals, I have to say... any superyacht I´m on (when I close my eyes) definitely has private submarine capabilities.
Explorer yachts are the most exciting yachts bar none
Agreed!

I'll have my 55M in Ferrari red please. Good news David; I won £9 on the Euro Lottery Friday gone. I'm on a roll now, be calling you soon. Cheers
A red one would go well with the icebreaker ethos

Damen is also a powerhouse when it comes to Navy ships and amongst many other designs, remarkable SAR vessels.
if your an adventurer who loves ships this is the ship you’d be looking for
Great video as always.
Love that fact that you give as much details as you can.
Keep us the great work your doing.
I have to admit that I hated the look of these explorer yachts but they have been starting to grow on me the last few days. I'm liking them more and more
Those yachts look beautiful.
Doing a great job David. We need a video dedicated to toys. in-person :)
interesting vlog, is it just me or is there a palpable shift to explorer yachts? Any chance of a walk through at some later date.
Cheers
James
James, if I may, excellent suggestion.
They've sold two of these so far, a 55 metre and a 65 metre. Neither has made its public debut yet, probably still under construction
That was fun and informative! Thank you.
Cheers from Seattle
I do like the idea of these types of yachts. 👍☺👍
u create Visions & Dreams as no one Else in thd Yacht vlog Business!!
Loved it! I am a big fan of explorer yachts and I'd love to know your personal taste in yachting which one you would choose?
This is what I want to buy. It is amazing.
"When I say La Datcha to you, what comes to your mind?" Well the first thing I thought of was "Bless you!" but I guess that's not quite right... I'll just go ahead and watch the clip.
I just love the look of the SeaXplorer! I hope you'll have a chance to do a full walkthrough of one of those babies!
Love their designs...I'd like one in the 35M range....the poor man's Damen! lol
LOL 'I like big boats and I cannot lie...' mug!
Thank for leaving the price out. My heart wouldn’t take it.
May I know where Daman is located?

hello great video... again! :)

I always enjoy your VLOG's/Videos even if they're photographs of the yachts you're talking about 👌 💯
I’ll take three!
Did anyone else realize the yacht in the thumbnail was breaking through the ice backwards.
Well spotted! The yacht will be using ice rated props to smash through the ice. Check out my videos of RAGNAR that uses a similar system.
This is truly incredible! Excellent video vlog and thank you for creating so many yacht related videos. Cheers mate!
Very nice video, i admire the way you make a different and interseting story at ever episode.

Share us more about 95 M ,❤️🙏❤️
Hi David. Ive been awaiting the launch of Ragnar. Great video.
Now can you get your chopper certified to be on it while crusing or no
3:31 Does this 95m variant break ice with the Stern? ;)
Hi Jay. Yes, they have ice rated props that smash through thick ice. It’s a lot more effective than trying to push through with the bow.
That big eye looking out the window at 2:50 freaked me out
Can you say what yachts are roughly worth when describing them . And I know if I ask I can’t afford one , but for interest sake .
enjoy your videos but would like to see more smaller yachts. 60- 100'. keep up the good work.
what's in the opening in the nose / bow of all the yachts?
is there any yatch that looks like aircraft carrier? I think most modern yatchs waste a a lot of space at the front.
Still would prefer T6. Might not have the capabilities regarding ice breaking but with a length < 50m and a helihangar an interesting option.
I wish you could make documentary about what kind of boats & ships turned in to a yacht's if some can by a tanker in to a yacht then I am sure other can be turned into a yacht's
Bruh, you can literary live all over the world, Bel-air mansions on the water, smh.
I can see the smaller yachts being support boats for the Giga yachts!
Your video need more of tour of the the yachts versus you sitting at the desk.

@@wearandtear6692 there is also nuclear waste and you cant just throw that away

"You can keep your chopper safe from the elements" as always on this channel, some sound advice there.
I’ve never seen this addressed before. How are pets managed on a yacht?
The 75m is #GOALS....
Nice one massive 😍💯
I wonder how much the 105m would cost.
Comme à chaque video, il donne une passion irrésistible.
Can you help me order two of each?
why are all of them shaped like that
I think I'd have to be worth $20bil+ before I would ever consider spending $150-250mil on a yacht, the sale and upkeep costs on this are insane.
My guess is $15 - $20 million a year.
Sunilmotwani
Where are those heli hangars? How do they look. Can't spot them.
Under the deck, a lift lowers and raises them.
3:20 the yacht the wrong way around for breaking ice
The bow is designed for optimal seakeeping behaviour while the stern has the icebreaking capability.
Thought the name was sexplorer
...
Now we're talking...
Wow
"You can keep your chopper safe from the elements..." I would guess that would be the first thing you would want in an explorer yacht. Even the Vikings had that...otherwise they would only be able to burn and pillage...

0:01 Google translate.
Well, I need at least three helicopters at all times. So this won't work for me.
Got to be one of the most pig ugly ships though.
Sexplorer yacht.
Ridiculous.
The bow looks unsafe and not to attractive.. like Steve Jobs yacht ugliest yacht ever
Bow designed to plow through thick ice, and high enough to keep water off the deck in heavy seas.
ugliest boat I've ever see!!!!
