A mega yacht exuding mega colors.
Wealth can’t buy joy but it can acquire a Mega Yacht that you’ll find in it pleasure more than ever before. Mega Yachts for sale, the very largest yachts have begun to incorporate such features as helicopter hangars, indoor swimming pools and miniature submarines.
As of 2009 yachts above 100 metres (328 feet) are still rare but increasingly more common, They typically have five decks above the water line and two below. The very largest yachts have begun to incorporate such features as helicopter hangars, indoor swimming pools and miniature submarines. The burgeoning number of “small” super yachts has led to the introduction of the hyperbolic terms Mega Yacht and Giga Yacht to demarcate the elite among luxury yachts.
A 50 metre yacht will have one or more luxury yacht tenders for reaching shore and other “toys” which may include a speed boat or sailing boat, jet-skis, windsurfing and diving equipment and a Banana boat. Up to date yachts have multiple flat screen televisions and satellite communications.
Mega-perfection.
The number of very large yachts has increased rapidly since the 1990s and increasingly only yachts above around 65 metres (213 ft) stand out among other luxury yachts. Yachts of this size are almost always built to individual commissions and cost tens of millions of dollars (most super-yachts cost far more than their owners’ homes on land, even though those homes are likely to be among the largest and most desirable). A yacht of this size usually has four decks above the water line and one or two below. It is likely to have a helicopter landing platform. Apart from additional guest cabins, which are likely to include one or more “VIP suites” besides the owner’s suite, extra facilities compared to a 50-metre (160 ft) yacht will include some or all of indoor Jacuzzis, sauna and steam rooms, a beauty salon, massage and other treatment rooms, a medical centre, a discotheque, a cinema with a film library, plunge pool (possibly with a wave-maker), a playroom, and additional living areas such as a separate bar, secondary dining room, private sitting rooms or a library. There will be more boats and “toys” than there are on a 50-metre (160 ft).
Live well inside a mega yacht.
Since the 1950′s, an extraordinarily large percentage of the world’s seagoing commercial vessels were manned by Philippine crews – and for good reason. When properly trained and managed, Filipino seafarers are diligent and competent, honest and hard-working, have an adequate to excellent command of the English language, and are a delight to work with.
At present, Crew Asia represents over 300 able-bodied crew members. Crew Asia is a SEC Registered Corporation which is licensed by the POEA (Philippine Overseas Employment Agency).
As a POEA licensed company, Crew Asia is – as of this date – the only manning company in the Philippines which exclusively supplies crew to the mega-yachting industry.
Conquer the bright sunshine with a mega yacht.
Some yachts are used exclusively by their private owners, others are operated all year round as charter businesses, and a large number are privately owned but available for charter part time. The weekly charter rate of luxury yachts around the world ranges from a high of €661,500 (M/Y Annaliesse) to around €20,000. Expenses of approximately 25-30%, such as food, fuel, and berthage are charged as an extra as well as a customary 15-20% crew gratuity for good service.
The luxury yacht charter industry functions effectively because private yacht owners mitigate their running costs with charter income as well as keeping their yachts and crew in top running order. Conversely, private charterers charter yachts (rather than owning them) because it is generally considered to be less expensive, and less hassle, than owning a yacht and it also provides them with extra choice related to yacht type, location and crew.
