  • Owning a luxury yacht is the dream of many, and achievable for more people than you may think.
    Some busy business owners just don't have time to figure out the purchase process though, and so are put off exploring yacht ownership due to time constraints.
    This series of videos is designed to take the mystery out of yacht ownership, showing not only the process involved in buying a yacht but also the costs.

    How to buy a yacht.
    Step 1. Call David. Have a chat, prove funds, agree a fee.
    Step 2. Relax and order a captain's hat ready for delivery.
    Step 3. Buy the sun screen.
    Step 4. Chill while rocking gently, on the fly bridge.
    Step 5. Love life and invite David and Aquaholic Nick for one hell of knees up somewhere warm and sunny. 😂🤣😂😎
    Thanks for the video.
    Take care of yourself and stay safe. 👍👍👍🚢🛥⛴🛳🚤⚓😎

    Since i was a little boy i dream of one day owning a yacht. But after watching these 5 series of "how to buy a yacht" i must say i'm a bit afraid of buying one. Don't get me wrong you do a marvelous job on showing the first timer on what to do and look out for, but i wasn't expecting all that needs to be done when buying a yacht.

    The How to Buy a Yacht series is very helpful, but these are for pre-owned Yachts. What about a vlog on How to Buy a NEW Yacht directly from the distributor, like Princess, Feretti, etc. Do you still need a YBAA or MYBA? Do you still need a surveyor? How about buying in UK and delivery in US? Who pays? Lots of different questions! Can you please consider doing a vlog of this nature? Thank You - keep up the great job!

      That was reviewed in one of my yacht magazines when new, I'll have to dig them out to tell you which one. On another subject your 'big girl' phrase reminded me of a friend who managed to use the chat up line on the dance floor in a nightclub without being slapped - "For a big girl you don't sweat much!". I still to this day don't know why she didn't hit him!!

    If you in the market for a yacht of 30.000.000,£ or more, saving on a surveyor is stupid beyond comprehension

      @ericduany2809 4 роки тому +1

      Pieter agreed but I bet also it’s impatience. At this level of wealth time is a super valuable asset to them as it’s one of the only things they can’t buy. If you’re a hundred millionaire or billionaire 30 million isn’t that big a deal and they don’t want to have to wait.

    • @norgeek
      @norgeek 4 роки тому

      @@ericduany2809 that's certainly true, but one might then argue that their risk is lost time rather than lost money. If an issue that would otherwise be uncovered by a surveyor is allowed to develop it could tie up the yacht for weeks or even months (or ultimately lead to a complete loss).

    Hey David, question about hours on engine. Is something like a transatlantic crossing that big a deal, or number of hours in general? I assumed these engines as long as they are maintained and not run to their max output will run for a very long time. Isn’t the use of a yacht transport more about saving on fuel, as well as transport for less seaworthy yachts? Yachts designed more for coastal use versus open ocean, with not enough range?

    • @paulcunningham2859
      @paulcunningham2859 4 роки тому

      i was wondering the same thing west ports do have a farily shallow draft and i dont think that crossing oceans was what they were made for.. otherwise why not sail her around florida and the bahamas for a bit of a shake down then cross the alantic with a crew that can get to know each other without paying customers . the owner could even be there and take off from bermuda or the canary islands to see how his new baby does.

    I love all the yacht porn you've included, David. As for Aphrodite herself, it's a shame Westport is moving toward the 125 in lieu of this. Of course, they still have the legendary 164, which has one of my all-time favorite layouts. I think they're also going for larger offerings, too. I hope that if they do, the hull is in metal; I'm not sure I would feel comfortable with a GRP hull (and keel) in much greater lengths than 164.

    Having the range to cross the Atlantic is one thing. Actually being able to do so is another. Westport is a great yacht but not really suited to crossing oceans.

Although you might look at some alternative plans, i.e. have it shipped to the Caribbean where you might spend time cruising those waters, then have the crew take the yacht through the Panama Canal and up the west coast. Of course, you could hop on board at any time and enjoy the journey (job permitting you to do so).
