this is super yacht news with eSysman
hi welcome back to the channel okay so happy Friday for everybody who is having the weekend
off I am not one of them but anyway happy Friday it's on screen right now you can see the trail of
motor yacht Anna we mentioned Anna in previous videos she was in Turkey since the beginning of
the invasion of Ukraine actually she was in the Caribbean and then she quickly crossed over to
the safety of Turkey and has been there ever since but she recently left and she headed through the
Suez Canal and is going to Qatar and you can see that she's almost there now she's recently
gone through or this morning she went through the the whole mood straight and she's on her way to
Qatar there so anyway we'll move on to the first story and this is the 92 meter super yacht tattoo
has been sold this vessel was previously owned by the latey Paul Allen he have 3 Yachts actually
he had "Tatoosh, Meduse" and obviously "Octopus " and "Meduse2 was sold a few years ago it's now called
Athena III it's called -The Vessel was for sale after his death all of the wealth was
left to his sister and she sold "Octopus" and now "Tatoosh's" sold the vessel was
for sale for 90 million dollars we don't know how much it went for eventually I'm sure it didn't go
for 90 million but I'm sure it went for somewhere in that region The Vessel had a big refit in 2021
the same thing happened with Octopus actually just before that vessel sold had a massive refit and
the hull was repainted same thing happened to to "Tatoosh" a very highly maintained over the years
this vessel obviously Paul Allen was a big fan of his yachts in actual fact when I was before
I even went into the yachting industry I was in the cruise industry I worked on cruise ships and
we were in Cozumel in Mexico and "Octopus" was at anchor and "Medusa" was docked next to us and we got
talking to the crew and they said I said we said oh are you down here you you know and he said they
said no but the owner owns the boat over there which was"Octopus" and he said but he said that
he thought he might need this 3rd helicopter so the vessel had sailed down from Miami to Mexico
just in case he needed the 3rd helicopter so he had two helicopters on that "Octopus" but he thought
he might need the 3rd one- so we'll move on now to the next story and this is an interesting story
now you all know the Ritz Carlton, the hotel chain they own tons of hotels actually you might
have stayed in one not even realize it's owned by the same company Marriott Luxury Collection,
there's so many different hotels there all coming on the they all come under one brand.
They've got Yachts now, well they are super Yachts so what they've done is they've got this
new system where they're building these these vessels which are they're effectively high-end
cruise ships in the style of a super yacht so I was a bit skeptical when I heard that they were
building these because the level of equipment's on a yacht is such a high quality and I've worked
on high-end Cruise Lines before and there's such a difference between a high-end cruise
ship and a super yacht so I was kind of skeptical however I haven't been on this vessel obviously
it's it's newly launched but going by these photographs here it does look very yacht like ,
you know it does give me that feeling when I looked at the photos like okay it does
kind of look like the cabin of a super yacht or a suite on the super yacht -now the the vessel is 190
meters long or 620 feet ish a 25, 000 gross tons and it has 149 suites and they each have a private
Terrace and as you can see in the photographs here they do look really nice like I said lots
of use of LED lights, the way the bedding the wood around the bed and stuff is very yacht-like
they've definitely done their homework there. they can carry 298 guests so obviously it's technically
a passenger vessel , it's not registered as a yacht the maximum capacity for a guests on the artist 36
but the way I would I would sell this is that it's a yacht-like experience like for
us mere mortals who are never going to go on a super yacht unless we work on one this is kind
of a way to get the yachting experience, so yeah it's very interesting I like I said I have
not been on it I would love to go on we are in talks with the Ritz Carlton to try to go
on board to do a tour at the very least I would like to do a cruise and maybe I'll have to just
pay for it myself and go on and have a look around but that would be really nice to go on
there and check it out and and to be able to say whether it is actually at that standard or not
I'm sure there are going to be limitations but so far I've got good vibes
from it but yeah very interesting I would I will definitely bring you more on that in the future
they this is not the only yacht they've got as well they've got another one in construction
and I believe they're building three in total so that's going to be very interesting so that yacht
is currently in Portugal according to AIS and it's doing a transatlantic Cruise starting on
the 12th of November so it's going to be in the Caribbean for the winter, it's also going to be
in Miami so if you were interested take your camera down there and get some video for us.
all right so we're going to move on to the main story now and this is to do with the "sailing yacht A"
as you all you all know this yacht up by now because it's been on the channel so many times
it's currently arrested in Trieste in Italy now this boat was built by Novis Group the same people
who built "Tatoosh" and it cost over 400 million euros to build however according to a website
T online.de German website according to that website and obviously this has been translated from German
they are saying that for the company was able to apply for subsidies from the federal
government the German government when they got the contract to build this yacht and it was to do with
new technologies and the the the because there was a high chance of a failure of such new
technologies that they were able to get subsidized by the government which I found quite incredible
and that and the the shipyard did indeed apply for this subsidy and they were granted
three million euros and according to T online who's seen some of the receipts they said it
could have been they could have could even be much more than the 3 million the German
departments that deals with it is called the federal office of economics and Export control
and yeah so that is quite incredible isn't it the fact that they were able to get a subsidy
my question would be is why did they not have to pay that back I mean surely the the the idea
is that there was a high risk of failure because it's such a you know it's Cutting Edge - these
Yachts are always bespoke they're always asking for things that have never been done so if it was
such a risk fair enough to give them an advanced payment if you like but pay it back because they
must have made a profit 400 million euros these shipyards make profits I haven't said all of that
Novice Group did file for bankruptcy in a few years ago and they were bought out by another company
I don't understand how a yacht how a Yacht Company can go out of business when they're
making such high amounts of money on these vessels just one more thing just to remind you we now have
