this is Superyacht News with the eSysman
Spielberg owned Superyacht Seven Seas listed for sale so Steven Spielberg has put his super yacht Seven
Seas up for sale it's a 86 meter yacht built by "Oceanco" and was delivered in 2010
and it's been put for sale for the first time he's the only owner so he had it
built so the press release finally it says it can hold enough fresh water and fuel
to allow it a range of 5,200 nautical miles -more than enough for a transatlantic crossing it's
just a peculiar way of saying it in actual fact it's not good they're not going to hold
enough fresh water for a whole crossing they're going to fill up the water tanks
in port and then as soon as they leave they're going to start to produce water
on board with "RO" plants or "reverse osmosis" and they'll keep those tanks topped up
they don't carry it's not like fuel where they you fill up and you carry it all the way it's
like you keep making new water it also comes with two custom tenders one of them is a nine meter
open sport boat and the other one is a limousine tender which is the one that they use when they
want to go ashore or they want to bring guests on board on board amenities include swimming pool
2 spas not one but 2 a glass elevator and a screening room of course Steven Spielberg right
CCTV system includes a a pirate protection unit whatever that is and uh and it says
it has comprehensive smart home technology that includes audio visual systems
lighting climate and window treatments via an ipad which is completely standard on all boats now
and then it says the primary suite has a private deck so generally they call it the owner's deck
although the owner owns the whole boat right the rumor is that spielberg used the vessel to travel
to places that he filmed movies in in the past such as "Jurassic park" "Indiana Jones" "empire of
the sun" so some of the destinations included north Africa China and Hawaii which is quite
interesting -Steven Spielberg said that he didn't realize how much he would love being the superior
owner when he got his first vessel and as a result of that now he wants to go bigger now
i would have loved to have been in the room when he said the words "you're gonna need a bigger boat"
the motor yacht Seven Seas is for sale for 131 million euros
all right guys the next story is ESPN has confirmed the sale of the Feadship Superyacht
motor yacht Faith so Faith previously owned by billionaire and bond villain Lauren Stroll
Chairman of Aston Martin racing formula 1 and he's also the father of land stroll who drives
an F1 car and yes you guessed it for Aston Martin racing so stroll bought this 97 meter superyacht
i i believe not long after it was built i'm not sure whether he bought it while it was still in
build or just after it was delivered but he's owned it pretty much since the beginning he had
a refit on it so i think it was already completed because he refitted it after he bought it
the new owner is believed to be Michael Latifi who's another Canadian although he was born in
Iran he's a Canadian he owns the Safina Food Company and if you're Canadian you'll know
this food company and he is also the father of a Formula 1 driver Nicholas Latifi and he
drives for the Williams F1 team and guess who sponsors Williams' - yes Safina food company but
Lauren Stroll is building a new boat but he's only building an 80 meter only building an 80 meter
with Oceanco and yeah so he's gone from a 97 meter to an 80 meter
how will he cope with such a small boat uh and the last um thing i wanted to talk about it's
not really a news story - but i i got an email from a chap i don't remember his name
unfortunately i think his name was John and he asked me about a boat called Bravo Eugenia
and he was asking me about the fact that he looked at it and he saw that there were no anchors
and he wondered how they were operating this vessel and then he started to talk about
dynamic positioning so dynamic positioning is basically a system on board
that controls the vessel's position in the water and it uses it uses a gyro for heading
gps for location and you can basically set the vessel in a position still position and it will
keep the boat there but using the thrusters and using the engines to keep the vessel in that same
position so if you're in you know high winds and stuff and the vessel keeps drifting around
you can use dynamic positioning to move the vessel into a position and hold it in that position
however you wouldn't be able to use that when you went into poor if you went in and docked
and very often when you when when a yacht docks it uses its anchor
which doesn't sound it sounds unusual maybe if you're not familiar with with the maritime
industry you think that when a vessel docks it just ties ropes and that's it but what actually
happens is along with the lines that they put on um they also drop very often drop the anchor
when especially when the vessel is dock stern too so as the vessel is reversing into the dock
when it's still quite a way out they'll drop the anchor maybe even two anchors and then they'll
reverse into that dock and then they'll pull the anchors up you know that the chains tight
and then they'll lock them in position that holds the front of the vessel the bow of the vessel in
that position stops it from moving left and right on bravo eugenia the owner didn't like to see
anchors so he said i don't want that i want you to come up with the system so we don't have to
look at the anchors so what they did is they made a um they made a hatch under the water line where
the anchors come out of a door and they go down like that so you don't ever see the anchors but
they do have anchors i don't know whether they have two but they have uh they do have an anchor
at least one anchor so that is how they do it and they don't they they have to have an anchor
if you've got any questions about the stories we did today um put them down below uh let me know
what you think about the sale of motor yacht Faith it is quite a beautiful vessel as you've seen in
the pictures i've been showing the videos i've been shown that was shot in barcelona by the way
i don't think i would have sold it but you know you never know -maybe you got an offer he
couldn't refuse - all right guys thanks very much for watching - i'll see you next time
