A lot of people are confused as to why I re-uploaded this video. I asked for and received written permission from TH-camr DrDuu to use some of his footage in my videos. Then after this video went live he filed a copyright claim. So I’ve got to deal with that now with TH-cam. I’ve also had to pull two other videos that had some of his footage in.
It is good that you got it in writing. That is always a smart move when dealing with people. Hopefully when you deal with it having that piece of evidence will favor to you.
good luck. Sorry you have to deal with such idiots on youtube, but this content is really interesting. I'm glad you did both length and volume. What do we have to do to get one of these superyacht owners to buy the USS United States and fix it up? haha
This is by far the best one of these lists I've ever watched or read! Well done! I absolutely agree that gross tonnage is the correct measure. One small correction though: Azzam's MTUs (20V 8000 M91s) are rated for 9100 kW (12205hp) each for a total of 24,410hp, and the gas turbines (LM2500+G4s) are rated for 35,320 kW (47,370 hp) each - so Azzam really has 119,150 total hp!!!
If I was in a position to afford one of these, I would also go for the Octopus. I love it's modern history being involved in the recovery of the bell from the Hood, as well as locating the Musashi. If money was no factor, I would want to own said yacht, and continue having it used for such expeditions.
Im live in Bremen Germany i Love to sail past the lührsen company always very intresting and the size of these boats is quite humbling especially from my 6 Meter racing dinghy
Nice video, best of all the "top ten yachts" type vids. For me in my fantasy world of owning one then volume probably counts for more, but if I was fantasising about a custom yacht I would list out the things I wanted and ask the best way to get them. The yacht would have to be beautiful and that I thnk means length would be slightly more important as I would not want a slab that looked like a nasty cruise liner. Anyway, nice intelligent little show, thanks eSysman.
You have mentioned Super Yacht's ages from time to time and how some are getting old. Perhaps you can do a video about some of the older SYs and what happens to some of them as they age. For the record my Favorite on the list is S/Y A. Love the feel of a ship under sails.
Wasnt on the list but motor yacht Tis would be my choice, shame that beautiful blue is going, that yacht just seems perfect to me. Off this list I love Sailing Yacht A, just such a draw dropping design, so unique and unlike anything else.
I’m not really a boaty person I confess, and my wallet doesn’t currently have the appropriate volume for such a purchase , but I do like looking at these beautifully designed water craft. This video came up in my feed because I watched a video of the Flying Fox, which is a beautiful thing. It doesn’t make your list here, but I’m using it as my benchmark and trying to find one in your list that I would prefer to that one. I’m not sure I’ve found one yet. I’m going to watch it again. Thanks for uploading this eSysman, I found it enjoyable and informative to watch.
So then. After a review, I do like Octopus and Topaz and Dilbar, but I still prefer the beautiful flowing lines of the Flying Fox. I’m gonna stick with that. It’s only 136m, but I can manage :-)
Thanks for that link. I enjoyed watching the Flying Fox video. Interesting about the positioning of the bridge too. Not sure why I like it so much, I think it’s just her lines. She looks fresh and modern and not in boring white. I also like her nighttime lighting signature.
eSysman, Thank for doing a video about Genoa, as it's beautiful. I was in Genoa in 2001, while in the military. Loved it. Amazing place with crooks and crannies. Jonathan
well, the greatest... if you multiply length and volume the top 5 of the top ten by volume list remain unchanged... taking length and volume into account is my measure! M/Y Dilbar leads!
Hi mate. Firstly may I say what a fantastic channel. We absolutely love it 👌 incredible videos and pics Quality is amazing. And your knowledge and enthusiasm really makes it compulsive viewing. 👍 I agree with your choice Octopus 1st. But have to say for looks Dilbar is simply stunning in every way. Many thanks. Martyn 👍👍👍
I'll take the Flying Fox over anything from this list. You should do (if you haven't lately) a list of the top award winning boats from the last decade.
I think measuring size by volume is the way to go as that’s useable space... Azzam looks like it was designed at a specific size then stretched slightly to be the longest! Either way, I probably wouldn’t say no to any of the yachts on either list if someone wants to gift me one and cover the costs for a few years!
My all time favorite super Yatch is Faith built by the prestigious Feadship. I would take the new 2020 Opus , the bridge deck design looks so sick and the rest of her isn’t to shabby
Great video, as always! I, too, would choose Octopus, if only for the amazing chilli sauce made by the then (2016, if I remember correctly) Nepalese chef, that he gave me as I left the vessel after an afternoon of on-board consulting with them about activities in my native Iceland.
I agree with you sir. My fav is Octopus. Purely cause she was involved in bringing Hms Hoods Bell up. Have you seen the documentary eSsyman sir. Very good.
from the description in case your device will not display the description: Republished because another TH-camr (DrDuu) gave me written permission to use footage and then put in a copyright claim once the video was published.
I’ve sailed on several cruise ships that are smaller than these yachts. These are simply crazy. I remember probably 40 or so years ago when the late Malcom Forbes in a Playboy interview discussed what were then super yachts over 35 or so meters. He said the best were FedShips and he said then that you had to make a million dollars a foot per year to properly keep up the vessel. Well in 1980, making over 150 million dollars a year was pretty rare and so were yachts that big. I can only wonder what he what he would think of these ships.
Love your videos and information you provide. I'm a little unclear on how gross tonnage equates to actual square footage in size. Exactly how much in square feet does the yacht Dilbar actually have onboard? Can you explain this s little further and maybe give some examples of square footage of cabins, mess area etc.. Thanks. RT
The problem with using length as the basis of measure is that you can get into the same problem skyscrapers have. Architects/owners use spires and other things to increase the height of their buildings without providing any functional or artistic benefit. The same seems to happen with super yachts, overly long prows or unnecessary bowsprits merely added to gain a few metres over the current record holder or closest competitor.
I agree with u, the volume is most important than lenght. now, take a look at the interiors of m/y elements, the most luxurious yacht interiors in the world. imho
They should be measured by volume, because that is living usable space. Length is a smaller yacht just stretched thin. I know it's not on the list, but my favorite is the flying fox.
Anything above approximately 100 metres is not a mega yacht. It's more like a small or medium private cruise ship. For example one must sail at least a quarter of a mile from the shoreline with such a "mega yacht". 60-100 metres yachts are the real mega yachts, but even this size range has many limitations when trying to approach the shores. For example, you must often use a tender or otherwise swim with the sharks...
Copyright claim once the video was published, after giving written permission to use footage. Probably the sh1tt1est move I have recently seen... Imagine having to deal with such a lowlife in person. Gonna watch the video again, just because.
Wow that's super shitty, one of the shittiest things I have ever seen, never been to that guy's channel but going to now to thumbsdown everything in sight.
The yacht Octopus was built in Kiel by HDW (now tkMS). Actually they needed to build a new roof for the yard dock, because it was impossible to get the desired finishing for surfaces under open sky of e.g. the hull .
Jerks abound, this day and age. My dad had a small desk statue. It was of a dairy cow, stepping on her own teat. She said... "Sue the Bahstads". Sometimes, people step on themselves and deserve to be sued.
This is a comment to raise the algorithm that chooses videos to recommend. I can’t remember what I wrote the first time but you didn’t need the BS on the first try.
Of those in the list I’d go Octopus. Prefer the darker coloured hulls. All white are just too bright and default lol. If I had my own super yacht I’d go with white superstructure, black hull, and red keel, like the classic Cunard ocean liners!
Thank you for calling out the fake news. The guy behind the triple deuce is a brokerage pirate, who encourages prospective clients to find a boat with a different broker and then switch to him at the last minute because he can offer a lower closing cost because he doesn't have the price of actually being a broker in his overhead. You can find his channel on youtube, he puts together videos with a second hand model of an out of production production yacht in a dimly lit cinderblock walled basement "office" with ikea furniture.
Octopus is my pick too but if I could any yacht I would take M/Y Sultana. She's a nice little old Feadship with twin Gardner diesels. Perfect size for cruising the Med with just your family and no crew. Crew just spoil the privacy IMHO.
My all-time favorite is still Octopus. Luxury with bleding-edge marine exploration capabilities. What could possibly be more fun about being on the ocean than exploring? On that note, does anyone have ~$400m to lend me? (Gotta factor in running costs) P.S. is anyone *really* surprised Fox grabbed the fake yacht story?

Time to down vote lots of DrDuu's videos...
I downvoted all of his videos without watching them. eSysman’s army right here

My electric scooter has more power...
My all time fave is Madame Gu....but having said that, I'd go with Octopus on this list
If I was in a position to afford one of these, I would also go for the Octopus. I love it's modern history being involved in the recovery of the bell from the Hood, as well as locating the Musashi.

Looks like my inflatable kayak just missed the list!!
Well then I'll watch this on repeat to help your numbers. Love your channel
Great personal choice - Octopus. That's my pick too.

I like the large sailers too, the sleek minimalistic ones like Wally 100 (Tango) or similar.
Dilbar is the king of the seas. Thank you for the great work you are doing.
Lürssen is such a smal company and building all these mega yotes.
Very accurate video.
Small company??? 🤣🤣🤣
@@Gonschi Compaered to other german Brands it is. But they build the biggest"things".
We do... but 3000 is not small 😅
I have always thought length until this video. Now I agree tonnage for sure. Thanks for the incredible video!
We agree on Octupus. I'd buy it without a doubt (if I had the means, of course).
Keep up the good work.
Wasnt on the list but motor yacht Tis would be my choice, shame that beautiful blue is going, that yacht just seems perfect to me.
Off this list I love Sailing Yacht A, just such a draw dropping design, so unique and unlike anything else.
I really love your videos when you just talk freely cause of you relaxing and interesting voice :) keep it up from Austria

Yeah she's a nice boat. I made a video about her last year (or maybe 2018) when she was just delivered. th-cam.com/video/yNoIEDakw9Q/w-d-xo.html
@@YachtReport
Ooh! Thanks so much man! I’ll go enjoy that now.
Really enjoying my first visit to your channel, you’re doing good work, go you !
Thanks for that link. I enjoyed watching the Flying Fox video.
Interesting about the positioning of the bridge too.
Not sure why I like it so much, I think it’s just her lines. She looks fresh and modern and not in boring white. I also like her nighttime lighting signature.
Sometimes big is just too big. I like the smaller yachts. Between 100 ft to 200 ft .
200 is good
Length or volume. Ah, the endless debate among the hens. To be a real rooster, you gotta have both.
eSysman,
Thank for doing a video about Genoa, as it's beautiful.
I was in Genoa in 2001, while in the military. Loved it. Amazing place with crooks and crannies.
Jonathan
I’d like to add, we stayed at Hotel Verde, beautiful. A stones throw from the harbour.
I NEED to come back,to revisit and say thank you
Floating home away from home?? More like the whole neighborhood floating ! Beautiful ships!!
Octopus without a doubt. However some real beauties here.
A 158 yr old super yacht! I never would have guessed that, and yes, octopus is the pick. I got a good look at her years ago in Nassau.
Can you make a video on Explorer Yachts plz ?? And also talk about how they are different and also biggest exploriyachts 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Surviving the Covid-19 lock-downs would be most pleasant on anyone of these magnificent ships.
well, the greatest... if you multiply length and volume the top 5 of the top ten by volume list remain unchanged... taking length and volume into account is my measure! M/Y Dilbar leads!
Hi mate.
Firstly may I say what a fantastic channel.
We absolutely love it 👌 incredible videos and pics
Quality is amazing.
And your knowledge and enthusiasm really makes it compulsive viewing. 👍
I agree with your choice
Octopus 1st.
But have to say for looks
Dilbar is simply stunning in every way.
Many thanks.
Martyn 👍👍👍
You do a great job on your videos!🙌
Great video 👍
Thanks for the photos. 👍🏻
In this list I would choose Octopus. But my perfect dream yacht is a "shorter" version of REV, like 140m. :)
Quick question: what are the differences between old and new money yatch owners that you have noticed?
I've seen Dilbar in Barcelona it was MASIVE!!!
I'll take the Flying Fox over anything from this list.
You should do (if you haven't lately) a list of the top award winning boats from the last decade.

By volume should be the the standard. Octopus would be my selection also.
Great list!
That 2021/let's make history😁
I agree with you sir. My fav is Octopus. Purely cause she was involved in bringing Hms Hoods Bell up.
Have you seen the documentary eSsyman sir. Very good.
My wife goes by length, then she goes by volume. Oh, back to the yachts. Azzam is not the largest but its design is certainly one of my favorites!
Re-Upload? what happened?

Octopus! Not only an ultra luxury yacht. You also have a state of the art research vessel.
For the record I love DILBAR!

I imagine their size limits what ports they can go into.
@@kirk2767 a lot ... in your average harbour destinations, they will have to anchor at the industrial harbour quay.
Man you got me thinking on this one... I am going to have to go with the new 2020 Opus!!! I really like the lines on her!
I enjoyed this.
Great video - By volume would be my choice....

Admiral Graf Spee, Admiral Scheer, Lützow and Blücher... All was lighter than most of these :D
I never really could grasp how big s/y A is but dang that's a big yacht
We like eclipse the best. I think that yachts should be measured by length.
Not even a contest for me. DILBAR all the way!
The problem with using length as the basis of measure is that you can get into the same problem skyscrapers have.

На такой яхте не только можно путешествовать, но и на ней можно еще и жить.
I waiting to see the Nimitz class mega yachts!
I agree with u, the volume is most important than lenght. now, take a look at the interiors of m/y elements, the most luxurious yacht interiors in the world. imho
Please please make a separate video about octopus 🙏🙏🙏
Hummmm wonderful yatchs
They should be measured by volume, because that is living usable space. Length is a smaller yacht just stretched thin.
I know it's not on the list, but my favorite is the flying fox.
I’ll watch/like/comment again. That’s a pretty crappy way to behave.

lol
Wow that's super shitty, one of the shittiest things I have ever seen, never been to that guy's channel but going to now to thumbsdown everything in sight.
There was no permission. Esysmen did the same with my pictures as well...
J what kind of details you wanna know ?
The yacht Octopus was built in Kiel by HDW (now tkMS). Actually they needed to build a new roof for the yard dock, because it was impossible to get the desired finishing for surfaces under open sky of e.g. the hull .
I believe, volume should be the standard. I pick M/Y Dilbar, it's got the size and looks, the proportions are on point.
Anyone been checking out the wider yachts? They look cool
Jerks abound, this day and age. My dad had a small desk statue. It was of a dairy cow, stepping on her own teat. She said... "Sue the Bahstads". Sometimes, people step on themselves and deserve to be sued.
These simple boats are nice, for a pauper, but will never do for my clients. Custom luxury planets is where it's at!
I think Octopus is my favourite one, because it is at least to designed to also do some useful research.
This is a comment to raise the algorithm that chooses videos to recommend. I can’t remember what I wrote the first time but you didn’t need the BS on the first try.
Would be great how the list change by 2023
Thank you here.
All of these big expensive yachts remind me of my dads New Balance sneakers...
Can you explain how a gross ton of a super yacht transfers to square footage or size
Wow where would you put NORD on that list I know it’s last year list
There is no replacement for displacement :-)
TITANIC sized yacht!
Of those in the list I’d go Octopus.
Prefer the darker coloured hulls. All white are just too bright and default lol. If I had my own super yacht I’d go with white superstructure, black hull, and red keel, like the classic Cunard ocean liners!
Volume. I’d have octopus too. 👍👍😊
I think volume is the true test as you've said you don't buy a mansion buy leght but buy intiorer space
I know I’m late to the party but M/Y Eclipse for me. Second, would be M/Y Nord.
Number 3 looks like my yacht in gta
Can you tell us why you would take Octopus over every other *Yacht on the list?
almost every yacht in this video is build in germany...impressive
Thank you for calling out the fake news.

It's not the length it's the girth
When it says how many crew each boat has, is that the number onboard at any one time? Or does it also include those on leave?
No how many are onboard at one time.
Random question but what happens to the crew when a yacht is for sale , such as Octopus
I made a video about this.
Opus is my favourite
Octopus is my pick too but if I could any yacht I would take M/Y Sultana. She's a nice little old Feadship with twin Gardner diesels. Perfect size for cruising the Med with just your family and no crew. Crew just spoil the privacy IMHO.
Azzam or NORD ...... then Octopus ..... if I am allowed to take three of them 😁
Good.. 😎👍👍👍
My favorite is s/y A +
Is Larry Ellison still competing with other MY owners ??
but does it have a touch screen??
I'd have Ocenco's
Redentore DPO23.
I think by both it has to have a wow factor spending all that money , and it gas to stick out when the owner arrives on his pri helicopter.
My all-time favorite is still Octopus. Luxury with bleding-edge marine exploration capabilities. What could possibly be more fun about being on the ocean than exploring?
On that note, does anyone have ~$400m to lend me? (Gotta factor in running costs)
P.S. is anyone *really* surprised Fox grabbed the fake yacht story?
Pliz make a video of madsummer yatch pliz
Big "D" still my fave regardless of size...snort....
