Hi guys
i thought i'd pop that back down to the marina i mean normally i come down here
a lot more often but it has been quite quiet um
i think obviously because of everything that's been happening i i was
i was a bit hopeful that it was a bit busier when i saw
nirvana in last time when i keep an eye on on what's coming in and out on marine
traffic and there hasn't really been anything coming in so i haven't really
been down here to film at least um to be honest i
wasn't even gonna film today but i saw some stuff
from the car i was passing by on the motorway so i got i was in a taxi and
asked them to drop me off so i thought i'd come down and film
quickly so we'll have a quick look along and see what's in because i noticed a
couple of other boats that i that snuck past me on marine traffic so
let's go and have a look
this is a motion unknown it's called a cool name
it's the kind of name i would pick if i had a boat it's a it's made by
riva so it's a grp hull it's a it's a 26 meters i think it is a
title of it is a a riva 100 which suggests 100 feet but it's nice it's
about 88 feet it's capable of 28 knots so that's uh
that's a good speed for you even though it's quite a small yacht
it's delivered in 2017 which you know makes it a new yacht basically
but it's uh the attention to detail is fantastic
shame about it being grp though whoever owns this boat uh registered in
London so they're not afraid of paying their taxes which is always good to say
it's very rare to see about registered in london
because they have to pay all the taxes there's no tax dodge there so that's
good to see you've got to fly in the red ensign as well so yeah yeah it's
interesting but you don't see that very often so uh bravo if you're watching the
owner
so nirvana's back as well uh she's been she was here
last time i filmed that was a few weeks ago and
she left and went down to sardinia and i've been tracking her for a while
because i thought she might come back in uh like a few days later but she didn't
but she's been she's been uh been down and started in a couple weeks i think
she went somewhere else as well mainland italy
but yeah she's back
all right so this is um this is i don't know how you pronounce that yup
uh super yacht burkett beckett i don't know
anyway this is this has been here for a while actually it's a 54 meter
built by bagley atello uh 2009 boat and you can it's a charter boat you can
charge this for 250,000 euros a week it's like i think
it's 54m so 55m i hasn't moved
as far as i know as i've been here since i've been here which is about seven
weeks one of the interesting things about this
boat it's not so interesting but it's interesting to me is that
um as the place where it's registered she says the creek
ci after it and uh it's the cayman islands as well
uh most but most of the boats like vega next to it uh that's uh registered in
Georgetown which is the main island in the cayman islands
but um they actually have three places where you can
register a boat in the cayman islands three islands three registries so
uh one of them is the creek one of the other ones is the first one is
georgetown the second one is the creek and the
second one is bloody bay which not something you want to have written
on the back of your boat
so Molo Vechio which is the marina i'm in right now
there's a public entrance and um as you can see here there's a ramp that
comes down there's a door there which is locked
but i've got access because i'm on a boat so i can come in here but if you
come to molovecio and you want to have a look
around you can do you can do that but you have to stay up on this uh this top
bit here which is not a problem because it's right here so
you're not gonna miss anything anyway there's a boat down here i wanna
go and have a look at so uh so let's go and have a look
i i didn't even know it was here i just saw it as i walked in
i missed it and normally i watch all the boats that come in and out and i checked
them all but just knocked past me
i'm going to talk about siren but i've got i've had to move away because
there's music playing michael jackson's being a bit loud so i had to come away
so uh he's not singing over me because i get a
copyright strike this is a 45 meter this is a palmer johnson 150
and it's for sale if you're in the market uh 12.9 million euros you can
have it for this one here not that one yeah
it's nice built in 2008 i believe 2008 2009
hasn't been refit since then though so probably need some money spent on it but
aren't they all lovely looking boat though
top speed 28 knots another fast one this is a
steel hollow and a super aluminium superstructure
one of the things they do with these boats is a lot of these yachts they
build the hull is built out of steel and then
the superstructure the the the all the cabins and the deck all that
all that equipment on top there's all aluminium
and like you saw in that in that video of uh lady mm
sinking when it was on fire the entire middle of the boat all of the
superstructure was completely gone because because aluminium and aluminium
melts it doesn't burn but about 600 degrees 660 degrees it
just melts and that's what happened to that boat
it's not a problem i mean if it's on fire it's on fire right
but uh it's interesting to see to have seen the way it just disintegrated
and just the hole was left and then it finally sank so we've got a little area
for the crew so you see they've got a little thing
here for a barbecue a little table here so people can sit out uh have a
barbecue in here in on a friday they didn't do it today it's friday
today when i film filming this also you've got down here you've got
some gear here with some water filters they're plugged into the water there the
yellow is there is a water line and um and they're plugged into the
water filters to purify the water and then it goes on the boat
and then they've got the electricity running in there as well
so the smaller boats can plug in up here and in fact the big bugs can do it as
well if they've got that ability to do it so not all the boats have that
um but yeah it's a nice little spot down
here for the crew the only problem is whenever i film there's someone if
there's a restaurant playing music because it's a friday evening and all
the restaurants are trying to do their trade right now
all right i always get asked why don't i say anything about the sailing yacht
well here's the sailing yacht uh and it's called germania and it's from 1908
and it was a it was built as a racing schooner and i read that on the internet
i have no idea about sailing yachts that's why i don't talk about them
but you know it's a beautiful thing but i don't know anything else about it
basically one of the interesting things is it's
registering the cook islands you don't see that very often
now i'm not sure whether you can see it in the background here hang on a minute
right here is a cruise ship called scarlet lady and it's a brand new cruise
ship that was built by virgin voyages virgin part of the virgin group and it
hasn't yet had any passengers on board it's
been here for two months now i saw it i saw it
coming in the other day um it's uh obviously i don't know where it
went because it was gone for a while maybe it's on sea trials um but it's
back again and it hasn't carried a single passenger as far as i know i
might be wrong on that one but as far as i know it still has yet to
carry any passengers i filmed it coming in i just happened to
be down in the channel there and it was completely silent there was
no passengers on board i could see a few crew on the decks and that was it
it's really eerie to see a cruise ship coming in with nobody on board at all
have you ever come down to genoa if you ever if you're ever in genoa and you
come to molovecio which is this marina and you want to get something to eat
there's some great restaurants along here
these are the old warehouses this is where when when these cranes were in
operation these big cranes here when they were in operation they store
everything in those warehouses and they've all been repurposed now and
they've built there's a lot of other stuff in there as well as some
ships chandlers and stuff but mainly there's a lot of restaurants along this
main street here and get some great food i have some of the best pizza i've ever
had in this street but that was 10 years
all right guys i'm going to wrap this up here um i i wasn't meant to film uh
i wasn't planning on filming i actually went to the airport to hire a car so i
could go somewhere tomorrow and i i hired it online i got a taxi to
the airport 25 euros and i got there and the guy just said
hey we have no cars that's italian by the way
and he just had no cars he didn't apologize anything he just sat back down
in his chair and that was it so i stood there for a bit in shock and
then i said you gonna get a car no no cars so so i didn't get a car so i
was coming back in the taxi and then i thought i'd come down here
anyway guys i'm going to go because my battery on my phone i'm using my phone
and the battery's on like i don't know 8 or something like that so it's going to
cut out at any moment so i just thought i'd do a quick video
and talk a little bit about what's in i hope you enjoyed it and let me know
in the comments if you've got any questions about anything we saw
and i'll try and answer them all right guys take it easy
Like this video and suscribe! Thanks:-)
