God, i'd be sea sick in no time! I've done it. DON'T ever get on a someone's boat, cause you can't get off !!#! Live and learn I guess...... Lol

I dont see the point in a 8 man crew. maybe 4, but not 8. Thats overkill.

Billy Jarratt - 7 years ago

Look at what it takes with 4. Capt., Chef, Engineer, that's 3, and now you have to do 5 star for the guest and take care of the exterior, show us how to make this happen with 4.

Very nice....I have to have all ladies crew for this kind of yacht....Big juicy titties Captain, Engineer, Chef and Stewardess...all in sexy outfit.....yummy

mikey e - 8 years ago

totally agree ,i have a boat, drive it myself , masters class 4 .in Australia, berthing is much cheaper where I live. I have a caretaker on board, retired skipper, he keeps her immaculate. engineer is on call, yes it does cost, but not a million a year.

trinity wills - 8 years ago

id pay that to have aiden gillen as my captain

malibuluv209 - 8 years ago

all you need are two captains to switch shifts, a cook, and a maid... everything else is pointles... and every so often get it detailed/tuned to make sure it's in working order. you don't need all those people for a two week vacation all year round... that's rid5

CaptIntrepid - 7 years ago

Doesn't work that way. In addition to the crew you mentioned, you also need an engineer & asst. engineer, deckhands, and crew to service the paying guests.

malibuluv209 - 8 years ago

ridiculous

I could live comfortably for the rest of my life on a million dollars.

puglover - 7 years ago

depends where you live CaptIntrepid. In Detroit, you can buy a house for 50 grand. making 20k a year is plenty to own a house

CaptIntrepid - 8 years ago

Yes, of course. I took the question literally as just living off the $1M principal.

Goomba - 8 years ago

+Captlntrepid only an idiot would spend the money like that, invest the money at a measly 4% and you get 40k a year.

CaptIntrepid - 9 years ago

I disagree. Let's say you're 30 years old. Over the next 50 years, $1M is only $20,000 Year. That's not living comfortably. You would make more as a Burger King Asst. Manager.

Working on a yacht is demanding, but can be extremely rewarding for those who are right for the job.

cervacio - 8 years ago

correction: for those who get the right employer. Same as any other job really.

Another beautiful luxury Yacht. Thanks for sharing +Wall Street Journal

JetRanger0007 - 10 years ago

its not all Glamourous, I used to work for Broward Marine back in the late 1980's building these things, Luxury Yachts, lotta work on part of the crew, and you have to like being at Sea and port for long periods of time , its not a Party atmosphere all the time , its WORK !!!

hei - 10 years ago

What!? I would buy a Sunseeker Yacht, a bit smaller but with nicer interior for 10 million..

george foweraker - 10 years ago

Do the crew lose their jobs when the boat is sold

JaceDerekGaming ! - 7 years ago

george foweraker A lot of people lease the boats they don't really own them, and when the lease is up they just get a newer one.

PaiNExoTiC - 9 years ago

+Puzzoozoo True.

Puzzoozoo - 9 years ago

+PaiNExoTiC True, except that the new crew will not know the boat as well as the other crew does.

PaiNExoTiC - 9 years ago

Most of the time. Usually the new owner has his or her own crew to care for the boat.

Puzzoozoo - 10 years ago

Not if the new owner has any sense.

Jamie B - 10 years ago

Sometimes, up to the new owner

Intersounds - 10 years ago

Very attractive for young people who wish to have a sniff of luxury, but it can become pretty addictive. Nice video!!

babscabs1987 - 10 years ago

its note luxury for the crew, trust me.

highvelocity123 - 10 years ago

Yes you need a crew to run this boat. It's not a waste of money if you enjoy it. It's probably hard for us 9 to 5 people to grasp but I think the word Monday morning doesn't bother them like us...lol

That Guy :D - 10 years ago

seems pretty pointless for the owner lol...even if he was on his boat he's with 8 crew members lol waste of money

TodaysRealHealth - 8 years ago

Spending is good for the economy.

Puzzoozoo - 10 years ago

It's his money and he can spend it on what he wants.

leon chalita - 10 years ago

nice, but as they said theres no privacy and i feel like the yacht is more for them not person that spend there money on it,I hope i don't sound like a douchebag

Stephen Tuthill - 10 years ago

Where are you in the world? How about thinking about building your own business, or doing something to increase your income, so that you can potentially own something like this... if this is your dream. You become something, and have things, that you focus your attention on... so leave negative behind, do something, and make a difference!!

dirtTdude - 11 years ago

depends on the owner and or captain and what's going on but most of the time disposable paper bootie dispensers are kept near the salon door.

Brisdad53 - 11 years ago

NOBODY except the owner wears shoes onboard. Not even charter guests.

DadaGotFame - 11 years ago

my colors

dirtTdude - 11 years ago

They like slip-on's because crew members can not walk on the carpet with shoes

Rohit Pathak - 11 years ago

Long tiring days ... and a girl on board ;)

Man, if you had that much money to spend, you could afford some proper shoes for your staff instead of those Crocs? 1:29

johnnyohness - 11 years ago

Not the same boat as the Mary Alice 2. A close look will tell you that.

Niklas Johannesson - 11 years ago

125.000 inc expenses.. Chartering a yacht is expensive. Biggest ones are around 1.000.000 USD a week plus expenses and VAT..

Brad Priest - 11 years ago

You could technically head out without a crew, however it is a very good idea to at least have an engineer monitoring the power plants and engines in the engine room. On this model, the 40 meter, the engineer has his own living space as part of the engine room/equipment spaces. I would rather not have a full crew myself. Captain, Chef, Engineer would be just fine.

Brad Priest - 11 years ago

You can go on a virtual tour of the interior and exterior of all Westport yachts on their website below. I worked on the 50 Meter (164') model and was amazed how much time and money get poured into maintenance for something rarely used. westportyachts is the website name
