Exactly but one has to consider whether spending a lot of money on such an old ship is worth it or better to get completely new yacht that may be small much more modern and luxurious.
And most importantly efficient!!! It holds 100,000 gallons (If my conversion is correct) So, at $4.00/ gal maybe $6.00/ gal - $7.00/ gal at remote location (potentially twice) Millionaire to pay pump-man... LoL 😢 Im crying (seriously) Wtf Ps Someone tell me if my calculations are (somewhat) correct? USA conversion gal/ liter
Well sir you worked extraordinarily hard presenting this fine yacht. Absolutely wonderful and with a little tlc would be a grand way to do a world tour. Thank you for sharing.
I remember when Bart Roberts came out of conversion, she was quite the ship. It is sad to see how she has been neglected by her owner. Bart is going to need an extensive refit to bring it back to its former glory.
@Ron-zr6se - Overall the ship looks every day of her 64 years in age. The interior accommodations, guest areas and social spaces have all the warmth and grace of a cheap thread worn hotel. I suppose this accounts for the price. I'm guessing the owner is either very old or recently deceased.
A reasonable offer is probably no more than 15 million---cash, take it or leave it, given it may take 30 million to bring it back to snuff. Completely redo every room, re build the bridge and command structure with up to date electronics and communications, steering, gyroscope stabilizers, GPS, sat communications, have the whole power system updated with new diesel, up to date engines, water makers, air and ventilation, maybe even new plumbing and vent ducts, water heaters, new kitchen that isn't a bare freighter ship feed line, clean up the deck from all the clutter and crap. 30 million easy. Maybe even 50 million.
I appreciate the detailed tour. I find it fascinating what some folks consider “decor”. Not necessarily my taste, but if your into pirates you’ll love it. ❤ 🏴☠️
I worked eight years on this vessel for the CCG. it’s much different now than the working vessel. The engine room is so familiar but the rest …not so much but I wouldn’t be lost on it either. Was then known as the “Narwhal “.
I wondered what happened to the Pirate Ship Bart Roberts. She looks differently from when I followed her in the past. Thanks for sowing this great ship albeit in need or some restoration. I can dream.....
I worked on board for only a year but it was an amazing experience and great time. I joined it in ft.Pierce Florida about a year after she left Vancouver for the refit. It was a black hull then. Everything inside was obviously changed but the crews quarters forward of the well deck and officers crew above the engine room. All the engine systems were practically original and it made her a heft to move with the tons of bricks they laid through the main salon and state rooms. The bow thrusters were all but useless in a moderately swift current. I always thought the VW bug size chandelier was going to rattle loose from the ceiling when we motored away from anything. It was an awesome thing to live on and work. It was almost immediately put up for sale and was the time I was aboard. We spent 4 months in the yard in port lucaya. We mostly had it easy except for the few weeks we probably spent painting and removing and re securing lids in the bilges and cofferdams and pipe tunnels and stripping out most of the bolts! We then came back to Florida and spent a couple months in ft pierce at a small commercial port and did some sea trials with potential buyers from time to time before moving up the Indian river a few miles into a private cut at Harbor Branch oceanographic institute where we had the entire place to ourselves after 5. We fished everyday and night and had the professional galley to use. A great time. But I think I must have painted that super structure twice! We were mostly a skeleton crew of 4 or 5 with two Croatian engineers a Canadian, South African an American and a part time captain who was a local sheriff deputy who the principle owners cousin knew. The cousin was a partner in the investment and was our main contact and boss and left us alone as long as the boat was clean when he popped in on us. Everyone but the engineers stayed in state rooms but you would never know it if you went into them. We had a zodiac to play and fish off in the lagoon and it was easily the best boat gig I ever had. Vero Beach was a few miles away so we had it made. And then we all started getting sacked and it was over. She sold a few months later with some Saudi buying it to use as a support and crew vessel.
She will need A LOT more than 3-5 million! Literally 95% of her electrical, plumbing, navigation, technology and safety is outdated and NEEDS replacing… complete replacement! Plus all the new things needed to be added, and old crap removed… oh this is easily north of 50 million to make her a modern explorer yacht, and that’s before her seaworthiness is surveyed and estimated on! She COULD be the ultimate go anywhere vessel for sure, but right now she is a floating Overlook Hotel (Stephen Kings The Shining 😂), and would probably be just as damn scary too! If not more!👍🏼☮️
Would be a fantastic expedition ship to travel the world hunting & fishing setting to shore only for provisions and fuel. I dig it just as it is. Now I know what a converted naval ship looks like.
I’m a yacht man and I can say that this is not a “deal” at 30 million! Very cool features (some) but to make this a modern explorer yacht by today’s standards would be a very big $$$$$ cash expenditure (not investment). Still cool video I do remember looking at this boat 10 years ago in black.
That diesel generator on the helicopter deck is blocking the hangar from closing, preventing the space from being used as a helicopter landing area. This is pointing to power reliability problems with the ships internal hardware.
6M for hull work (incl. some structural modifications) 4M to modernise staterooms and their soft finishings 16M for ship’s M&E systems and fittings and 4M for electronics for ship management and comms and re-wiring 2.5M for refinishing internal guest circulation spaces and 1.5M for galley equipment 1.5M for upgrading crew accom US$35.50M, not counting other ancillary equipment and professional fees
She looks a lovely ship in need of some TLC. Could probably spend the asking price again (or more!) for a full refit. I'd definitely keep the Age of Sail feel for at least some of the guest quarters and common areas, and the paintings. It'd probably be international talk like a pirate day every day on board 😃 Refuelling would probably cost something close to the asking price too! Since she's named after a pirate and pirate themed throughout, I'd do a new coat of anti-foul in red, and paint the hull black😀and hoist the jolly roger for my new liveaboard... ...If only I had the money!
I had floating Overlook Hotel (Stephen Kings The Shining) vibes for this ship. I can picture people going insane while šhît comes alive on deck and people are getting unalived all over it! 🤣😜 lol.
Isn't the sole (floor) in the main salon actual brick ? That & the stone fireplace have to be among the craziest design elements I've ever seen on a yacht. The telescoping hangar bay was cool, too.
A heck of a lot of shil for 4 million. The refit would cost many times the price I guess. The operation costs of a 20 crew vessel like this would certainly be millions a year. But I love it! Might be my favorite explorer yacht I've ever seen.
I took a second look at this and to my surprise , I really like it, it grows on you!! I would worry for the costs of maintaining this vessel, however if it could be done I would refit it in a Viking theme and charter it to Iceland and Scandinavian oceans , it would be perfect!
Serious question - would she be available for charter as a yacht support vessel (no guests on board - only tender boats and heli ops) within the Seychelles for 4 to 8 weeks?
Sailed on her in 1980 when she was the CCGS Narwhal, and operated in British Columbia as a replacement for CCGS Camsell, who had suffered ice damage during Arctic operations
That would make a nice polar cruise ship for arctic and Antarctic cruises if you updated the decor a bit and make the owner cabin into two cabins the cabins are very spacious
It's like walking into an old persons home that hasn't been updated. I imagine the moth ball smell, or old smell. The only thing missing is the plastic cover over the 1960 era furniture. Although for the right person, and right price, it could be cheaper than building new from keel up, and still getting to design the interior and everything eise to their specs.
That was EXACTLY what I thought 😂 This was a floating “Overlook Hotel” for sure, and I bet it’s probably just as bloody scary in real life as the Overlook was in the book AND movie! So far only 2 of us made that connection… I wonder if more would as well? 😃😂👍🏼☮️
Good few million to do a proper refit. Will need to be pulled out the water and fully stripped down to bare metal before any weak areas are identified and then treated and repainted. Entire decking and all external woodwork needs redoing, not necessarily all replacing but sanding treating and revarnishing. I would replace all forward decking. Likely cheaper and more efficient. Kitchen and bridge/pilot house need a full refit as would most interior areas of the Yacht. Would also probably make sense to replace the old engines with newer more efficient ones. That said even if you spent 10 million on a full refit it would still be good value when you consider the facilities available. Helipad and garage, pool and sauna. Guest accommodation for 20 people it was. It has a proper gym. Might be worth considering a refit to a hybrid diesel electric with solar mixed in for cost efficiency. However next nearest equivalent sized explorer yacht is currently listed at 59 Million Euro so frankly even if you went crazy and spent 20 million refitting it would still be a bargain.
@hogwild5844 I know it'd be a massive project and hugely expensive, but you hit the nail on the head, if you have a spare 20 or 30 Million and the right people, This would be one hell of a nice boat.
Really pleasantly surprised how good the technical spaces are looking. Always loved these old coast guard tenders, they’re damn hard to break. Having said that, the whole “pirate” concept always rubbed me up the wrong way, but the main offence in my book was that the interior spaces were filled piecemeal with misfit objects. And that was the intention of the owner who converted it. If her survey shows that the hull plating is as good as it should be (ie properly maintained and managed not just to original cold water specs, but as required in her new operating environments), it’s going to last another 60 years if expertly maintained going forward. I’m assuming she isn’t ice classed tho, unless that was retro-classed when she went thru the original Lloyd’s Class survey in 1986 - 26 years after she was originally laid down. Her original designation was “ice strengthened” which could potentially meet 1C, but 2nd Edition (1999) of Ships of the Canadian Coast Guard lists her ice class as “NA” i find it weird that apparently during the conversion in 2001/02 they reduced the fuel capacity by a third when the stated intention was a long endurance ship. I say “apparently” as compared to CCG documentation just before they retired her Apart from the really time constraints, and significant costs of getting down to the tank deck, adding more complexity to the stability and load line calculations (which were already causing the architect problems) just don’t make sense - you’re asking for problems from the Class Society which you sure as heck don’t want any more of when you’re already cutting steel before getting their sign off… Having said that, the volumes and passage making / stability of those hulls is phenomenal. A lot of good structural changes which are really fit for purpose for a leisure / commercial passenger ship happened in thr conversion - not least of which was increasing the deck heights, and bringing fire containment up to SOLAS. She’ll never be a modern 15kt cruising speed hull, but someone with vision could definitely turn this into an astounding beast. Take her to someone like Icon, and get her repowered with HVO diesel electrics with a full blown LFP battery based PMS for potentially zero emission and vastly reduced noise and vibration travel. Just enhance her with some big modern heavy but efficient gyro stabilisers. The cost of doing that isn’t cheap, but gee you’ll reduce fuel consumption by 20-30% and there is nothing else close to this volume in the market at the moment that’s not at least 10x the cost to buy. After doing all that, the cost of a total interior refit won’t seem so bad 😉 Get ahead of the curve coz conventionally powered super yachts are becoming public enemy number one, and when new emissions regulations and tax regimes catch up, getting a slot at a good yard to retrofit is going to get slammed with supply chain issues when “everyone” wants to do it!
From the web page "She has a side hydraulic swim platform to the Star Board that allows easy access to the water as well as comfortable operations with her tenders." Was this shown in the video somewhere, and I missed it? There were no pictures on the web page of this that I noticed...
It's a nice ship but with 30M there are a ton of other Options. ....that are a bit newer! I think this one would make for a nice support vessel and give it a refit for what's needed without all the extra LUX
the way he mentioned fresh air is nice and wheezed through the rest of the video. confusing tour, sudden breaks in video, back and forth. Damn good deal for a big boat.. that upside down cathedral thunder noise eching up the hull from the generators must be insanity on long trips. See some of the lights are not even LED. not sure dual 250kw is all that necessary anymore. Lots of potential. Steel looks diveted on deck in some spots... but steel is steel.
This thing hasn’t been refit since the early 00’s and it shows. Great potential but you can tell the owners haven’t maintained it like a vessel of this caliber should be. If 30 million is the asking price, with today’s costs, you’re looking at 45-65 million to bring this thing into the modern spec. That’s at least 75 million, at least 6 months at dry dock and probably a 2 year total refit. An owner would otherwise be able to buy a newer, better maintained vessel for less OR buy a newer ice breaker that’s being retired and refit it in about the same time for less and have exactly what they want. Tough sell for sure, I’ll be interested to see if anyone picks the project up!
It is a big ship so it has the benefits that come with big ships i.e. stability, wide corridors and walk ways and lots of space and gross tonnage for all the toys and more but it is very old and requires a lot of upgrades, retrofitting and maintenance. So one has to carefully weigh all options. owner's despite being spacious felt claustrophobic, dark and outdated because all the small windows were covered with weird stuff
If you are determined to own a hole in the water to dump money into, this ship is for you, supposing you can wait a couple of years to undo all of the neglect that the current owner has done to what was an absolute jewel. £30,000,000 is the list price. Add to that another £10,000,000 for a refit and then the astronomical running costs: 22 crew and 250 Ltr per hour at 10 knots.
I knew the Interior Decorator for Bart Roberts... She looked Sharp with her Blk Hull when she came out of the first refit from Crown Asset :) Still a gorgeous Adventure Yacht, but sadly outclassed by today's mega yachts and Russian Oligarchs and other Multi Millionaires.
I would buy her in a heart beat, spend another 7 million on a refit and you still would have a deal. Just think swimming pool, gym, sauna, 6 cabins all done to todays standards. Really open her up, bring in lots of toys to explore the world.
last time i saw this yatch is black hull with swimming pool and load with toys and submarine. owner UAE royal family. now it looks backdated. what happened to this yatch??
Actually, my goal is to find a very very old, 35m+ size, original steel hull, that has never been refitted, for the purpose of gutting it all out totally and completely modernized it with the newest electrical tech, solar everywhere, open space, gym, golf simulator, that only sleeps a total of 6 to 8 people.
11,000 nautical miles for gas for fuel is beautiful you could go anywhere in the world with that kind of fuel you could circle the globe twice now I don’t know about that
Equitorial circumference of Earth is 30,000 miles. At 250 litres per hour at 10 Kn I do not think many people will have the cash to take this ship anywhere.
Your walk through on this beast of a ship seemed rushed as you quickly tried to explain each area of the ship... Def huffed it though, one could get lost w/all those corridors & rooms, technical areas are my favorite to watch as you explain each of those areas... no doubt that beast eats throu its fuel... 😅
I can see why it's so cheap. DROP SEALINGS?!?! Are you serious? If someone would buy it, it's a complete do over. It does have good bones, and could be something special, but after about two years of renovation. Very dark in there too.

Thank you
With a lot of money, it can become a really nice expedition yacht. Right now the ship looks more like a ghost ship.
Exactly but one has to consider whether spending a lot of money on such an old ship is worth it or better to get completely new yacht that may be small much more modern and luxurious.
IMO the biggest problem with this ship is operating costs.
Captains name jack sparrow
😂
And most importantly efficient!!!
It holds 100,000 gallons
(If my conversion is correct)
So, at $4.00/ gal maybe $6.00/ gal - $7.00/ gal at remote location (potentially twice)
Millionaire to pay pump-man... LoL 😢
Im crying (seriously)
Wtf
Ps
Someone tell me if my calculations are (somewhat) correct?
USA conversion gal/ liter
Well sir you worked extraordinarily hard presenting this fine yacht. Absolutely wonderful and with a little tlc would be a grand way to do a world tour. Thank you for sharing.
I remember when Bart Roberts came out of conversion, she was quite the ship. It is sad to see how she has been neglected by her owner. Bart is going to need an extensive refit to bring it back to its former glory.
At that time the asking was 30 M USD.... One can bring her back to her glory days with a reasonable budget.
@Ron-zr6se - Overall the ship looks every day of her 64 years in age. The interior accommodations, guest areas and social spaces have all the warmth and grace of a cheap thread worn hotel. I suppose this accounts for the price.
I'm guessing the owner is either very old or recently deceased.
@@QATest4fun - Might be a good deal for someone with very deep pockets. But that's not me.
@@QATest4fun - The asking price is $30m. And, I'm just guessing here, the refit/refurbish could easily match or exceed that figure.
A reasonable offer is probably no more than 15 million---cash, take it or leave it, given it may take 30 million to bring it back to snuff. Completely redo every room, re build the bridge and command structure with up to date electronics and communications, steering, gyroscope stabilizers, GPS, sat communications, have the whole power system updated with new diesel, up to date engines, water makers, air and ventilation, maybe even new plumbing and vent ducts, water heaters, new kitchen that isn't a bare freighter ship feed line, clean up the deck from all the clutter and crap. 30 million easy. Maybe even 50 million.
I appreciate the detailed tour. I find it fascinating what some folks consider “decor”. Not necessarily my taste, but if your into pirates you’ll love it. ❤ 🏴☠️
arabs - never worked, no culture and only funded by money the west pays for natural resources.
Remember when the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released about 20 years ago, pirates were the rage.
Pirate theme was very popular for years.

Buoy placement, remote lighthouse re-supply, arctic survey/ charting.

Yep. I bet a full refit from top to bottom is required to make it fully viable.
6M for hull work (incl. some structural modifications)
4M to modernise staterooms and their soft finishings
16M for ship’s M&E systems and fittings and 4M for electronics for ship management and comms and re-wiring
2.5M for refinishing internal guest circulation spaces and 1.5M for galley equipment
1.5M for upgrading crew accom
US$35.50M, not counting other ancillary equipment and professional fees

Good few million to do a proper refit. Will need to be pulled out the water and fully stripped down to bare metal before any weak areas are identified and then treated and repainted.

this would be the best boat to convert
if those walls could talk
They'd have to shout above the noise...
If only I had an extra 35 or 40 million USD to bring this boat back to life
4$ million top and probably another 10 million to make it nice
Давно ждал этот обзор! Спасибо!
Thank you for watching
10 Million for a full refurb - could not live with it otherwise
That would be your initial deposit only… this is easily a 50 million++ refit as it’s really a complete REBUILD I’m sure!!
Nice expedition ship!
Si spedirla al macero😂😂😂
Dang it, I was looking for an 82 meter one, close! 😂😂😂
From the web page "She has a side hydraulic swim platform to the Star Board that allows easy access to the water as well as comfortable operations with her tenders." Was this shown in the video somewhere, and I missed it? There were no pictures on the web page of this that I noticed...
Ось це гарний човен 👍
A yacht named for the dread pirate Roberts. Inconceivable. 🤔
The cost to bring this amazing ship current! Would love to see cost estimates vs new comparable build.
Very cool 😎
That ship would be great to see what is actually going on in the Antarctic,
is there actually just one door between the main sallon and the machine room?
It's a capable, wonderful ship. A great exploration vessel. Why is a part of my brain saying it's a dump then?
It's a nice ship but with 30M there are a ton of other Options. ....that are a bit newer! I think this one would make for a nice support vessel and give it a refit for what's needed without all the extra LUX
the way he mentioned fresh air is nice and wheezed through the rest of the video. confusing tour, sudden breaks in video, back and forth. Damn good deal for a big boat.. that upside down cathedral thunder noise eching up the hull from the generators must be insanity on long trips. See some of the lights are not even LED. not sure dual 250kw is all that necessary anymore. Lots of potential. Steel looks diveted on deck in some spots... but steel is steel.
Nice size boat but in my opinion it needs a big update,the intirior looks verry 1980's style !!!
That's the idea...
Lovely vessel can you let me know how much it is going for thanks you mate
Was this formally the CSS Dawson out of Bedford Institute?
Thanks for sharing. 🫵👊👍. Really interesting. 😊
It's ready for the breakers.
wow.....who would buy that?
you would need to pay someone to take over the title of that floating liability.
This thing hasn’t been refit since the early 00’s and it shows. Great potential but you can tell the owners haven’t maintained it like a vessel of this caliber should be. If 30 million is the asking price, with today’s costs, you’re looking at 45-65 million to bring this thing into the modern spec. That’s at least 75 million, at least 6 months at dry dock and probably a 2 year total refit. An owner would otherwise be able to buy a newer, better maintained vessel for less OR buy a newer ice breaker that’s being retired and refit it in about the same time for less and have exactly what they want. Tough sell for sure, I’ll be interested to see if anyone picks the project up!
I say a refit with a $10,000,000 cost. This ship is a real pile!
But it's got a lot of bathtubs!
When does it go from a yacht to a ship???
It is a big ship so it has the benefits that come with big ships i.e. stability, wide corridors and walk ways and lots of space and gross tonnage for all the toys and more but it is very old and requires a lot of upgrades, retrofitting and maintenance. So one has to carefully weigh all options. owner's despite being spacious felt claustrophobic, dark and outdated because all the small windows were covered with weird stuff
Its very dated, but has so much potential if you have the millions needed to modernise her.
Bob barker needs to buy it for the whale folks.
Is there a Henry Morgan room
If you are determined to own a hole in the water to dump money into, this ship is for you, supposing you can wait a couple of years to undo all of the neglect that the current owner has done to what was an absolute jewel. £30,000,000 is the list price. Add to that another £10,000,000 for a refit and then the astronomical running costs: 22 crew and 250 Ltr per hour at 10 knots.
it's for sale for 3,999,000 U.S. ....under 4 million......3 million pounds.
It's "only" 4M, not 30M
She also has the Fax Machine. Elon with his Starlink can go fishing!!
Seriously it is a wonderful base for a complete conversion.
I knew the Interior Decorator for Bart Roberts...
She looked Sharp with her Blk Hull when she came out of the first refit from Crown Asset :)
Still a gorgeous Adventure Yacht, but sadly outclassed by today's mega yachts and Russian Oligarchs and other Multi Millionaires.
I would buy her in a heart beat, spend another 7 million on a refit and you still would have a deal. Just think swimming pool, gym, sauna, 6 cabins all done to todays standards.
Really open her up, bring in lots of toys to explore the world.
My 10th great grand father was captain Morgan's father
How much does something like this cost?
It's for sale 4 million dollars
Looks like you guy’s are in Dubai ?
Is it still available for sale?
Yes
Nice fixed upper
I'm torn between this and a bulldozer?
The buldozer will probably offer a better ride in rough seas.
I like this ship what is the price
Did I miss the price?
3 million for the Boat 20 million to bring it up to code.
The comment made two min before you were more realistic.
You missed a '0' in the price. It is listed for £30,000,000.
@@carlyoung6111 no,...lol
Nice ship however it needs a lot of work to bring it into the 21st c.
It would be less expensive to build an entity new vessel. Beautiful ship but I don't think she sells.
Really an ice class / breaker? I don't think anyone has been building them for private purchase? Could be wrong...
last time i saw this yatch is black hull with swimming pool and load with toys and submarine. owner UAE royal family. now it looks backdated. what happened to this yatch??
Good ship for an org like Sea Sherperd
Actually, my goal is to find a very very old, 35m+ size, original steel hull, that has never been refitted, for the purpose of gutting it all out totally and completely modernized it with the newest electrical tech, solar everywhere, open space, gym, golf simulator, that only sleeps a total of 6 to 8 people.

Where is Andy?
11,000 nautical miles for gas for fuel is beautiful you could go anywhere in the world with that kind of fuel you could circle the globe twice now I don’t know about that
Equitorial circumference of Earth is 30,000 miles. At 250 litres per hour at 10 Kn I do not think many people will have the cash to take this ship anywhere.
A substantial ship but furnished in its public areas and bedrooms in the style of the 18th century. What is up with that?
Can I pull that on a trailer?🇨🇦
Need a ford ranger to pull it
Your walk through on this beast of a ship seemed rushed as you quickly tried to explain each area of the ship... Def huffed it though, one could get lost w/all those corridors & rooms, technical areas are my favorite to watch as you explain each of those areas... no doubt that beast eats throu its fuel... 😅
I can see why it's so cheap. DROP SEALINGS?!?! Are you serious? If someone would buy it, it's a complete do over. It does have good bones, and could be something special, but after about two years of renovation.
Very dark in there too.
Это пиратское судно?
