Hi
all right guys welcome back to the channel and welcome to Genoa marina
This is actually Genoa marina aeropuerto so this is a different marina
to the one that i usually show the one i usually show is molo vecchio which is
down in the center of town this is a little bit further out of town and you may be asking why
have i showed you this one before well that's because up until fairly recently my boat was
docked here so i couldn't really film i didn't want to give away the position in my boat so i
i didn't film in here but now we've moved so now i'm back and we're going to have a look around
it's already started to rain though however let's have a quick look around and see what's going on
now this is a motion baton rouge and it's built in 2010 by icon yachts and icon is a dutch yacht
builder but this is this build number on this is zero zero three so it's the third boat they built
back in 2010 so it's quite new for that company so um it carries it can carry 12 guests and
has a crew of 18 i believe did i say it was a 62 meter it's a 62 meter if i didn't say already and
uh i think it does 16 knots you can see on the back here on the stern section here you've got
all this uh boats and stuff and jet skis and stuff like that all stored on on there so that's unusual
form of storage i'm not quite sure how they get them off there
to be honest some sort of davit system must be but uh it just means that when they're at sea
there's no deck space on this deck i mean it's completely unusable really
so uh but there's a couple of more decks above that so i'm sure they're not hurting for space
it's just not it's just a bit unusual you can see that the tender garage here you can see the
stone door will open up or it might open out i'm not sure and you you'll get more
space under there so they've got quite a few boats and quite a few toys on board it seems
so this is multi-yard motor yacht saluzi right it's owned by chinese family
and it's basically used as a chat yacht as well which is not unusual for
a lot of super yachts however this is not really a super yacht not in any way
in an actual fact this used to be a cruise ship and so technically it really still is a cruise
ship because it's used for charters right so it's quite interesting actually back in 2007 i went to
french polynesia to work on a ship called the polgogan and at the time it was part of the regent
seven seas fleet and when i was out there there was this there was uh another ship that was sat in
pape in in the in the main port in tahiti in the french polynesia and it was just sat there and it
was from a defunct cruise line i can't remember the name of the cruise line now but i'll put it
along the bottom something pon ant anyway this was this was that ship so this ship was sat there
i was i was out in french polynesia for about two years in total and this ship was there the entire
time now and interestingly there was actually two ships and they had they had another one which was
docked in a dock in moria which is the next island from papette and what what the story
went was that uh when they started to get into to struggle financially they they laid up one ship
and they used it for parts they were identical ships built in the same place and they used them
for parts um for this ship because so they could keep it operating and they were both
stripped these are both built in australia in a uh ship builders called austal ah but yeah they
were struggling anyway and so they stopped using the second one left it in more air and
every time they needed part they just take it so they were scavenging parts from the other vessel
so when i first heard about this vessel i saw this vessel uh yet uh last year in um in sardinia and i
was i instantly recognized it as one of these vessels but i didn't know which one it was at
first and i've just found out recently which one it was was it the cruise ship that was sat in pipe
the one that was that was functioning until the last or was it the one that was scavenged
for parts so it turns out this was tear moana and and then it was sold and then it was bought
by the current owner and it's now called mote yacht salusi
see the reason why i say moti art in like this is because it's not really a motion
it was built to uh commercial standards and even on ais marine traffic it's listed as a
passenger ship not a passenger yacht so even even the ais says that it's a passenger ship
this boat is called baraka and the boat next to it's called obama
i got jokes dad jokes that but they're jokes check this out maserati
quattroporte it sounds really exotic doesn't it what teleport it means four doors
right so this is uh royal falcon one and this is a this is a brand new build in 2019 it's
a 41 meter catamaran obviously and it is for sale uh the price is on application so i can't
tell you what the price is if anybody knows what the price is put it the comments below
uh and it's uh it can carry 10 guests in five cabins it's got a crew of 10. now it's brand
new uh it's brand new in it was built in 2019 so it's yeah it's brand new isn't it and um it's
been for sale so it's called royal falcon 1 because it was built by the shipyard
and they haven't sold it yet so they're still trying to sell it now who designed
this you might find this interesting i found this interesting it was designed by porsche design so
yeah that's quite interesting i would love to get on and have a look around i'm going
to try and find out if i can do that because i'd love to be able to see some of the stuff
that's going on inside the shot i'll i'll make contact with them and find out what happens but
anyway it's a it's a i think it's a great looking thing the fact that it's a catamaran apparently
and i don't know because i'm not an expert in catamarans apparently it means that
it's more economical to them look at the look at the shape of royal falcon one there it's
such a strange looking boat looks almost looks like a spaceship does not look like a yacht
i get i get asked a lot when i do these videos where i show the vessel docking
stand too and i film it and i get a lot of people asking how they secure the bow of the vessel and
usually when i film those videos there's no way for me to get around there to show you and
sometimes it's at night as well but you can see these vessels here they're all uh secured
by these lines that run down into the water there's fixed points under the water
and these lines run down to it and they fix them onto the vessel and then they tighten
up and those sometimes they use their anchors as well but these guys look like they haven't they
haven't done that but but um yeah that's how they do it and there's usually there's either a diver
as in monaco they have a diver who goes down and fixes them but more often than not they have they
have a line fixed to that line and they run it along to the key side and then the guy in the
boat will grab it and then bring it up and then pass it off to the deckhands on board the vessel
if you're wondering why this marina is called marina del eropuerto it's because
you can see the control tower in the background there let's say
that is the control tower for genoa airport and the airport itself
is just over there so just on the other side of that fence that's the actual runway
so that's why it has the name of the airport because it's literally right next to it
if you see this yacht this yacht the big yacht this cruise ship in the background here this
is another virgin cruise ships ship that's still under construction you remember in previous videos
i mentioned the scarlet lady which has been moored in genoa since since it was launched because
they couldn't they couldn't do any cruisers because of covert but they actually ordered
three ships and they were and they're all due out one after the other this is the
second one this is called valiant lady and uh it's it's nearing completion so
they're gonna have two ships that they can't use um for the foreseeable future which is just they
must be bleeding money and also there's a third ship under construction which is over here which
it doesn't look like a ship it looks like a lot of those things that they put on container ships all
stacked on top of each other but that's actually a cruise ship and a construction in dry dock
so obviously it's a lot lower down you can't see the hull so it's lower down because it's
in dried up but that's that's a cruise ship under construction i suspect it's the third
um version ship so they've got three ships that they can't use which is incredible
all right guys i'm gonna i'm gonna wrap up here because uh it's getting quite cold it's like six
degrees 42 degrees fahrenheit and i've been walking around for a couple of hours so i'm
getting my hands getting quite cold holding the camera up so i hope you enjoyed this little look
around i'll be sure to come back now that i can um if there's any movement especially i'll come back
and uh and i'll do some filming there's actually a few yachts in here that i didn't cover today
uh just because of time uh and um i'll come back and cover those in another video
all right guys if you've got any questions let me know down below as usual and uh and yeah let me
know make sure to like the video and subscribe if you haven't already alright guys thanks bye
