hi guys welcome back to the channel and back in puerto antico
in genoa and we have behind me the 88 meter
nirvana i tried to get up early this morning to come film this
because you know you never know when they're going to leave
unfortunately i struggle to get out of bed so um
it's like uh what time is it it's 20 past 10
so i'm i'm normally an early riser i normally
come out you know before everyone else gets here but that
unfortunately today i didn't do that and it's super hot it's
28 degrees and it says it feels like 30 feels like 33 and they're 76
humidity so it's quite hot i know there are a lot of places in the world
and if you're in one of them I commiserate with you because i'm
struggling with the heat here so anyway um it's sunday and you can see
all the people out on deck all cleaning frantic everybody all hands on deck as
they say and everything's going on it's unusual
on a sunday when there's no boss on because there's no boss on right now
obviously because you can tell by the state of the the
boat i'm not not that it's in a bad state but
like the covers are on and stuff like that
but when you're when you're on uh when you're out working on a sunday like this
um it usually means it's the impending trip um whether it's the owner or
whether it's charter i don't know i think it's
probably a charter this is a charter vessel
going back to the vessel actually if you're thinking that this looks just
like anastasia you're not wrong it it's not
the same boat but it's owned by the same person a
russian chap called vladimir putin not vladimir putin
vladimir putin yeah he owns three boats that almost all
look identical he owns this one nirvana 88 meter
he owns another one called barbara or barbara and he owns a third one called
anastasia and they're all almost the same they're all built by
oshenko in Turkey and they're all around what i think one
of them 70 77 meters and they're all around that size
which is quite odd you know if you're gonna have three boats
i mean if you're gonna have three boats i mean what what is that but anyway
if he's chartering the boats and he's actually got a business out of it then
that's understandable but if you're gonna have three boats
maybe make make some of them a little bit different right
i mean obviously likes this design uh and
and the interior might be completely different but from the outside this
looks exactly like anastasia in fact when i the first time i saw this boat
not now but the first time i saw this boat i thought
anastasia had been sold and it had been renamed nirvana because
they're so identical anyway going back to we have a a lot of
comments and we have a conversation a lot about the
color of the hull and why blue hull looks so much better
and and i agree but one of the downsides to having a
blue hole is i took some footage just a minute ago and i'll put it on on the
screen is the guys are busy washing down they're
not they just finished they were up here a few minutes ago washing down and oh
there's still somebody up there and anyway the water's all running down
the side of the hole and i've got some photos because it's so hot and the sun's
beaming down on the boat the furring on the side that where it's
painted blue it dries so quickly that you get all these lines
running down the side of the boat and it's very hard to keep clean and
that's one of the reasons why it's not so popular because the
deckhands they probably hate the fact that it's a blue hole because they have
to clean it so much to make it look presentable so even when
it's even when the water runs down and it's clean water runs down the side
and then you just get these watermarks which you don't see i mean you still get
that on a white hole you just don't see it so much
so so these these metal things that are on the side of the wood there
i've got some close-ups of it these are these are fentanyl fender hooks and
basically because they don't want to have these
permanently built into the to into the the rails they they have
these things and they have a they're lined with a sheep that should
have a sheepskin coat on the inside if you like
and um and that they hang them on there and then they hang the fenders from it
and then you know it doesn't spoil the lines of the boat so when the boat comes
into port they put they have these fender hooks stored they
put them out drop the fenders on there and when they leave they take them off
and then they just put those away and put put them back into storage it's
quite a good system the good thing about it is as opposed to
a fixed point is that if you need to move the
fender you just move the whole thing along whereas
if they were fixed you'd have to untie and then move to the next one and tie
so these are these are actually quite good it's not just for show
we've got a bow coming in now that's giving a tour i should take that boat
actually maybe maybe one weekend i'll i'll actually get that boat
and it takes you right through the marina and then it dr and then it goes
down to portofino down the coast so maybe i'll do that one
one weekend i'll take that boat and and then i can
film and and talk you through it actually that boat in the background is
not the one that comes to portofino it's actually a roll on roloff ferry and
he's probably going to sardinia uh so yeah but i just heard it i didn't
see it i just i just stopped filming and looked around and there's this giant
thing going by so yeah that's not the one that goes to
portofino one of the positions about 30 people so that's
a bit different okay so a little bit more about the boat
so launched in 2012 i'm going to stay in the shade here
launched in 2012 registered in the cayman islands
built in turkey as i said earlier oshenko built it it carries
a capacity of 285 000 liters of fuel and it has a capacity to carry 8 000
liters of water that's fresh water so the top speed of
the vessel is about 19 knots probably cruises like 13 14 knots
and um it's actually i mentioned earlier that it's a charter vessel
it's actually to charge this vessel for a week is 900 000 euros
that's in the summer season in the winter season it's 900 000 euros so it's
the same price but they always list that on the on the
charter websites because sometimes they have a
slightly less fee for the off season it's also for sale
currently listed for sale but it's it's listed for 200 million euros
so i don't know whether that's a real for sale of
a price as as rich people say everything's for sale at the right price
right so advertise it for sale at 200 million if someone offers you 200
million then you take it and uh thank you very
much but i i don't think it's going to sell at that price
i was talking to one of the crew members earlier and
he said that they uh they've not been allowed out for two
weeks because they've got a trip coming up
um i don't know whether it's a boss trip or or a charter but whoever's coming on
board they weren't allowed to leave the boat for two weeks uh they were
allowed to leave the boat in the shipyard with that where the boat
was based which was further down uh out out of this port they weren't
here because obviously i was here last week
they weren't here but um where they were where they were located they weren't
allowed to leave the ship leave the shipyard because they didn't
want anybody uh when whoever comes on whether it's
charter i'm going to get in the shade here
there's charter guests or not they didn't want anybody getting
exposed to a potential um coronavirus so they all had to stay inside for two
weeks leading up to this trip all right guys i'm in the sun now it's
really hot so i'm gonna make this kind of quick
you see this this here this comes down like this
and then they put rails on it and then people can stand out there you know
usually when it's at anchor somewhere they don't they
wouldn't put it out like that when it was at sea
and they've obviously brought it down to wash it and they've just took the rails
off and they fit the rails back along on the inside
and i would imagine any moment now he's gonna retract it and close it
um so they just wanted to clean it so they can put it out when they get to
wherever they're going all right okay so you can see it moving
now it's closing it and he's and he's still wiping it down as to go
make sure it's all perfect you can see the water running down underneath on the
blue part of the there so i don't know
whether it's coming across on the camera but
where they've been washing down now the sun's going to hit that and they're
going to dry really quickly and then it's going to leave stains
which sucks yeah that's one of the problems we have on the blue hole
all right so now you can see them tackling those areas that would be uh
that would leave stains so that
now that they've closed it all right guys i'm gonna wrap it up here
i hope you enjoyed looking at the boat um i'll
i'll keep an eye out if any other boats come in i'll be sure to get down here
and film hopefully a little bit earlier in future
but uh yeah impressive looking thing isn't it i love the blue hull
even though if you've got the money you can hire the people to make sure it
looks clean but i wouldn't want to be doing it myself
but these guys i mean it's endless endless job
of washing down one other thing i wanted to say is before i do sign off is
when they wash down they wash down with fresh water so
they they uh they have when they're in port they can pump on fresh water from
the from the port when they're at sea they
make fresh water with the ro plants and then they use most of that water to
wash down the boat to get all the salt off it
so yeah it's quite interesting but anyway anyway guys i hope you enjoyed it
uh what do you think of the boat let me know in the comments and i'll i'll catch
you next time alright guys bye okay guys one last thing if you're ever
in general you ever ever come to italy ever in general and
you're a coffee lover you have to come to this place
that's a pate crazy cups this is one of the only this is the only place i could
find in germany that they roast their own coffee
and so they have fresh freshly roasted cropped coffee that they do themselves
most of the places they buy in so you don't know what the date
how long it is since it's been roasted but here
the roasting dates on the back and they and they make some amazing coffee it's a
little bit more expensive they have a colombian coffee here that's
to die for so if you're ever in genoa that's a pate
it's an artisan barista it's uh it's it's fantastic so you
should try it out alright guys bye
