@@vincentdevitt7685 I wholeheartedly agree. A happy ship requires a happy crew. I have seen some yachts where crew quarters are so limited and substandard, that I would seriously consider putting crew in guest quarters at least most of the time. This ship is fitted for a crew of five. Six if the captain has a spouse/partner. But I would have liked to see their accommodations.
@@absurdignites hmmm, that ship is about 2 million and above maybe, sometimes the prices of ships are not so high as we can think, but sometimes are very expensives heheheh
What a dream to leave and travel the world. Your opening statement agrees with my feelings that the more remote with only your shipmates the better. I totally envy all that were fortunate enough to of been on that around the world journey. What a beautiful ship.
I just recently subscribed to your channel and I realized why when watching this video. There are plenty of yachts out there that serve up luxury for the super rich, but they aren’t made to handle the worst seas and weather Mother Nature can throw out there. The SHIPS you feature are ships first, but with a luxury touch that make them a yacht. Hands down rather be on one that you feature than the ones featured on other channels. I absolutely LOVE this ship and only wish you could have given us more than a quick glimpse of highlights of the interior. And, this one proved it can go around the world. The others talk about range but no one talks about where they’ve actually gone to. I’d take an old working ship (or a yacht designed in the same manner) that’s proved it’s worth several times over as a yacht any day than something built more with a luxurious interior but not build for rough weather. What good is luxury if you lose its value on a rough sea? I’ve been in love with several you have featured, but this one is by far my favorite!
wow, thanks for the Super Thanks! I really appreciate it! And thanks for the feedback - glad you enjoyed the video! I am looking forward to seeing your future projects!
Wow, that thing is the definition of heaven on earth . If i had that thing i would likely never go ashore again except as needed for provisioning and maintenance . Probably one of the few boats i would choose over a bering . The quintessential charter machine . Jmo
Beautiful vessel, I worked on Pangaea the 58m expedition yacht back in 2002, just amazing vessel and still is, I don’t get these white plastic toys that stayed tied up Ali g side or sit in a flat calm anchorage all year, as a master myself this is the vessel for me.
My favorite parts of a vessel are the engine room and galley. Was actually surprised that twin 3406 Cats her power. Thought that larger displacement engines would be in order. I quess I'm thinking that if it were commercial she would have larger engines.
I'm not awfully physical and don't like RIBs. A larger more sedate tender is more appealing. I like the way this ship won't attract too much attention but maybe a superstructure covering the forward tender(s) would help. Huge fan of the interiors. Just my style. Maybe a few high volume air filters built into key locations for cigar smoke. I wonder where the 1000 count electric humidor will go?
I wonder if this (or any) yacht could have some dedicated outdoors space for crew? Or even if it's a good idea. Also... why have a main deck salon? I would extend the galley to include a juice bar and a rotisserie and a sushi bar and a Guinness beer tap. No carpets to dirty or curtains to odor... just easy access to that beer tap!
Thanks for this super Vid my friend 👍👍👍 , yes Vripack is a reliable number for trawlers and explorers . In my opinion one of the best ship construction and design company . Also the newest generations of Vripacks yachts made in China are from very good quality , already checked 2 of this ships . Vripack is on top for me because this boat construction is perfect . Dont really know what I can made better , through and through engineered for crossing all season and oceans from this globe !
I think that might be my new favorite superyacht. 😎 Great design and the interior decor is wonderful. The only thing I'd do a little differently is that I'd put a 6-8 person hot tub on the top deck somewhere, probably next to where they've got the sun loungers on the top stern deck.
I was thinking... I wonder when some rich guy will buy an about to be decommissioned aircraft carrier and turn it into an explorer yacht lol. I'd love to see such a project come to life!☺🤗 Fuel Capacity: Yes Range: Yes 😂
Being a Newfoundlander I would agree. That boat needs to do a trip up to Labrador. I would wash decks to go on that one. The limit of my big yachting experience is piloting in PNW waters, a 54 ft OA plus many trips as a passenger around Vancouver Island and most of Haida Guai.
Except for the 'white wall' from the Portugese bridge to the fordeck it is perfect. Feel the wall needs something to take your eye from the mass of white.
What I find regarding most of these type of vessels is the crew cabins , crews doubled up etc . All crew members should have their own cabin (even if small ) so as to have their own space to relax when off watch . Being doubled up is not ideal for a happy ships crew .
Agreed. So few even provide privacy screens/curtains for bunks. And what's with the relatively giant showers/heads you often see in these crew quarters?! Give me a tiny "wet head" (combo toilet shower) & some more elbow room, if not privacy, thank you Capt Bligh. One thing to work in such close quarters on one of those floating mansions paddling around the Med, quite another for these long haul explorers on which you might go for weeks without an overnight break ashore somewhere. Seems like penny wise/pound foolish - keeping good crew that won't spit in your food and/or murder you in your sleep...lol.. Fascinating channel, YB. Keep it up. Please standardize your vid openers/blurb with specs, though - length, beam, crew & guest capacity, price, etc, so we wannabe gazillionaires can comparison shop...ha...
Ah, but what you do not take into consideration, is that the entitled European people assume that their servants serve them, without complaint. Recently an owner, I guess, fought for his position, that, crew make fantastic money, they can live in tiny crew space, cuz they are sub human, and do not need normal space. He was Turkish I believe. Maybe just a YT troll. Nothing against Turks tho. I guess I'm like most people, I'm kinda uncomfortable with folk serving me. In America, it's addressed with tips. Still bad, actually. Servants serving their "betters", have actually overthrown governments...
It's a beautiful one, but personally, I would travel on ASTRA. I don't want to becpampered in a yacht, I want to work my behind off and battle the elements while respecting the sea.
Some of those gorgeous location pictures resemble the South China seas, the Philippines islands, and known for sea pirates. I'll take the Greek Islands. I guess if you can afford that ship, crew and captain, fuel and food for 3 years, I think you can afford 5 ex Navy Seal or Marine Corp Raiders as shipboard security specialist armed to repel any piratical borders.
I enjoy your vids, God knows I like Explorer/Expedition Yachts. I personally, as an ex U.S. Army soldier, can figure meters to yards, most Americans, probably your primary audience, can't, and won't bother. Math is hard :). Include both in your descriptions, not for me, but for the stupid people who have money. Best of luck...
interesting.. it was my boat..:-) I could have provided you with 50.000 more and better fotos and film, since she has been refitted in 2010. let me know if you need some..
That would be fantastic! Thank you! My email address is: john@yacht-buoy.com I am a huge fan of your yachts! The Zeelander Z72 is a work of naval art. Thanks for watching the video and leaving a comment
Don't forget to check out my Expedition Yacht playlist?: ruclips.net/video/DH0UQlmTPl0/видео.html
Don't forget to tell us about crew conditions and accommodation
Would be interesting !
Roger that 🙌

This is the most bad ass passage maker out there.
I wish I had the money to buy this and live on it permanently.
Dream big!
But how much is it, plz share approx price
@@absurdignites why are you asking me as I am not the one selling it?
Me too!!!❤❤❤❤

Well said!
She's a beautiful ship. The photos in the beginning are the places I think most of us dream of being should we ever have a vessel like this.
You can just imagine being sat at anchor in that little piece of paradise!
And the photo starting at 8.33 is the place I think most of us would rather avoid.
What a fantastic yacht! I can picture myself sitting at the bar in the evenings with my guests, discussing the day's events :)
Having a few drinks surrounded by your favourite people is definitely one of life's luxury's
A very beautiful vessel with working ship lines,i love her.
🙌
You are criminally under-subscribed. Love your content. Thanks for all the work that goes into making each of them.
I appreciate that!
What a Beauty! Thank You!
🙌 thanks for watching 🫡
Absolutely gorgeous.
What a nice yacht! Thank you for this lovely video!
What a class act this is, staying onboard for three years would not be a problem ! I could probably spend a year and a half in that open air salon.
Absolutely amazing. Thank you
Thanks for watching 🙌
What a beautiful boat.
Love the boat mate,this is how travel is done,proper boat ready for the weather which does come always, keep it going brother, cheers.
Thanks, will do!
A great looking lady. I especially appreciate the lack of dead weight and space wasters like like jacuzzi tubs and swimming pools.
Excellent! Perfect size. Big enough to to go anywhere and small enough to port anywhere.
Absolutely!

Little ship?😂 so what’s a boat with a length of 15 meters in your opinion?
@@Itsmeagain- It was meant as a compliment as technically, it is not a "Ship" by definition. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship 😉
Beautiful yatch
Thanks for your great Video
wow, thanks for the Super Thanks! I really appreciate it! And thanks for the feedback - glad you enjoyed the video! I am looking forward to seeing your future projects!
@@YachtBuoy how much was this boat
I'm not 100% sure. Maybe, between $10-15M?
That's an amazing boat.
Cool viewing thanks...
🙌 thanks for watching 👍
Stunning
Best ship for long range and comfort i love this wonderfull Ship !
Couldn't agree more!
Beautiful, useful video! Great work and thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the great feedback 🙌 I appreciate it 👍
How could you not like it, not fantasise about travelling the world in this baby?
Beautiful.
Love it. looks safe.

One of the best. Thanks for the details 😁

Good video thanxs
Thanks for watching and for the feedback 🙌
I would love to see a video about Calypso from J. Ives Cousteau. A REAL explorer in it's soul.
Also the NEVER BUILT Calypso II modern concept.
I’ve seen another Vripack without a bulbous bow and wonder if this vessel has one. If not, curious why not.

She looks much better when she was painted white!!
Please make a video on M/Y Far Far Away.
Almost got on board recently 😅
Not if, but when I win the powerball, this is the yacht I'm buying and heading to the south pacific and Antarctica.
One can only dream.
Nice.

maravilha ! como navegador ainda não conheci barco mais belo nessas medidas...
Obrigado por assistir meu vídeo! Que bom que gostou deste barco maravilhoso!
Please excuse my ignorance but do explorer yachts have a odometers or is there an equivalent
What vessels under £1m (ideally around 500k) would be capable of circumnavigation solo?
Good question! I have featured a few viable contenders recently
I bought this yacht . Sadly, only for a couple of hours, then the alarm went off : (
😂
Having lived in Newfoundland briefly I’ll say as they do:
Gorgeous bye gorgeous!
🙌
Being a Newfoundlander I would agree. That boat needs to do a trip up to Labrador. I would wash decks to go on that one. The limit of my big yachting experience is piloting in PNW waters, a 54 ft OA plus many trips as a passenger around Vancouver Island and most of Haida Guai.
My kinda boat 👍
100%
It looks like a great explorer type vessel although the video did not go into a very detailed tour so it leaves much out.
That's another reason why I need to get aboard some of these vessels :-) I just need the invite and then I will be there :-)
Wow I wish we could retire on this and travel around the world 🌎 😊
🙌⚓️
Except for the 'white wall' from the Portugese bridge to the fordeck it is perfect. Feel the wall needs something to take your eye from the mass of white.
Like a large crest, shield, or emblem representing the ship? 🙂
Why no portholes on the forward bulkhead
What I find regarding most of these type of vessels is the crew cabins , crews doubled up etc .

Great idea!
