Welcome back to the channel guys. I know what you're thinking, can you just move
your head over slightly so we can look at this massive yacht in the background
Okay. Yes that is Dilbar the largest yacht in the world by volume that is the
largest it Dwarfs all others and yes that means I'm in Antibes yeah I've been
away for a while sorry about that life gets in the way a dash of illness
and yeah unfortunately not being able to look load for a while but that's all
about to change I've got some really nice footage coming
in the next in the next few months and I hope you're gonna stick around and watch
it anyway back to Dilbar and back to Antibes so go and have a look around
as evidence of settlements in Antibes going back to the Iron Age after that it
was a the Greeks controlled this area and then so on to the Romans and the
Romans called this place Antopolis which I believe means
The Other City in Latin obviously now it's part of France and Antibes is probably
some sort of version of Antopolis but in the background you can see a fort
this this fort was built by the Marquis de Vauban
who was the engineer for Louis xiv and this port is named after this man Port
Vauban is the name of the port and it's named after the man who constructed
the fortifications the fort plus all of the fortifications around that around
the city
I will post links to the videos of produce before about this Berto
refresher 156 meters in length, just shy of sixteen thousand gross tons
of fifteen thousand nine hundred gross tons making it the largest currently by
by volume it can take forty guests in twenty cabins which is a lot for a for a
super yacht and its has approximately eighty crew in thirty-five cabins as
well so it is a big vessel it's got some amazing technology on it as well which
I've been through in the past and I'll post links to those videos so you can so
you can check it out but it never ceases to amaze me when I see it just how
massive this thing is so this vessel was powered by two Wartsila
12,000 kilowatt engines so it has 24,000 kilowatts, every figure about this
yacht just blows my mind it's incredible 12,000 kilowatts is about
16,000 horsepower and that's one engine so it's got 24,000 kilowatts
so what's that a 33,000 horsepower
just to put a little bit of perspective on it that vessel right next to it there
that's MotorYacht Montkaj and that's a 73
meter vessel 2,000 gross tons and it can take 24 guests so it just gives you an
idea of the just the size difference between these two vessels. So the owner
of Dilbar - Peter Usmanov he actually owns that berth
so where Dilbar is docked he owns it. So he bought that birth from the
marina it's not like he pays him a fee in fact if the port wants to use it when
he's not here they pay him a fee. Some of the other vessels in today we've got 90
meter Barbara there that's the one with the dark hull, and next to it there we've
got Nautilus, is a seventy three meters 90 meters
73 meters looks big right
I mean look it's just ridiculous isn't it yeah
okay I'm gonna end that I'm gonna end this video here I do want to say if you
came in checking if you came on here to hopefully see I posted a video on
Instagram recently about work getting done in the shipyard on the boat and I
said I'm gonna make a video about it that video is coming this is not it so
if you'd look bit disappointed I apologize for that
it is coming I've got some really nice stuff to post and in all in the course
of time so please stay tuned to the channel and I will post those very soon
so okay if you enjoyed this little video then give it a thumbs up subscribe if
