There has been a lot of discussion about the single engine in the comments so I wanted to clarify... the jet thruster in the bow acts as the backup engine in case of emergency. It's a retractable Schottel SPJ 57 Pump Jet and AVALON can go as fast as 6 knots on just the thruster. Also, it's very common for long range commercial ships (cargo ships and tankers) to have a single engine. Cheoy Lee has a long history of building long range commercial vessels and they have been using Schottel systems on ships since the 1960s. It's a proven capability to ensure you are safe while also remaining incredibly efficient while operating the main engine. The CAT engine is also extremely reliable when maintained properly.
This yacht's sister ship MARCO POLO has the same design and it traveled 30,000 nautical miles in her first two years without issue. AVALON has also been around the world without any emergencies. A single engine may sound concerning at first but I would 100% be comfortable crossing an ocean on this vessel. -Tony
Thank you for clarifying the drive capabilities Tony. The systems are amazing.
As a class 1 engineer, I get it. I would make sure that I had a really good engineer on this vessel and I would give him all the spares he asks for. A critical spares list would take some conversation. I think the crew are more important than a second engine.
Not to forget, if an engine catches fire in the middle of the ocean it would usually take out both engines if located in the same engine room. Having this engine in a totally separate area of the boat make it a safer choice from that perspective.
One of the best GA plans I have seen on a yacht of this size. Great space utilisation and an impressive galley which is rare for a vessel of her size. Single engine is not an issue. There are more than 70,000 deep sea going vessels with one engine. These engines are made to last and they are reliable and easier to maintain. Thanks for the tour!!!
I agree!
A very serious Explorer Yacht with wonderful wood work and very stylish Design Elements. But what i also have to mention is the calm, informative Moderation of this Tour and also the Consideration for the crew. Thank you very much.....
Thanks for your comment!
I love the way you point to things like wardrobes, tv’s and desks and then tell us what they are. Between me an you I think most people would know what they are on their own with just a vocal description
wow calm down.
This is my favorite yacht I’ve been in love with her for years ❤
I really didn't think it was going to be as nice inside as it is, its stunning. 11 years old too and it had more modern feel too it than some younger vessels. I can't see this facing any problems with selling.
A wee addition to my original comment because I initially wrote the 1st part while still watching.
Well done with your video mate, I really enjoy them because you allow us to see everything that you're looking at while some videos just tell you what they're seeing in certain areas. You also don't miss any details out, I think you cover just about everything.
As for the vessel only having 1 engine, I wouldn't be concerned with this beauty, the engine room was immaculate and obviously kept in top condition.
She has an impressive second engine room in the bow, equipped with a 360-degree jet thruster that can be used as a backup engine, propelling the boat at 6 knots. It also includes a backup generator. Search for "Quin," the boat's old name, and you should find a 20+ minute video on TH-cam. You will also get to see the captain's cabin
Thank you for showing this one. I’ve been watching this one for a while and it’s my absolute favorite yacht of them all.
It’s incredible in my opinion!
Wow what an incredible yacht, this is a beauty, love all the colours and finishes and it as a great layout, so spacious everywhere. Thank you for a great tour Tony.
Glad you like it!
My favorite yacht! Love it. It has color!!
It looked good on camera but was even more beautiful in person!
What a beautiful vessel!!!
Qing!!!!! One of my favorite yachts!! I love this yacht.
I do too!!
I couldn't remember the name but did recognize the yacht.
Wow. Really like the red hull.
I do too!
Stunning yacht! Great layout and the decorator hit a home run.
I agree!
That's a lot of yacht for 10 million. Thank you for sharing!
It really is! Thanks for watching!
It is a great cost. However, if I were truly interested, I’d ask what the operating costs are. 11-12 crew and 6000 nm I’d guess costs from $1 million to $2 million a year depending on where it’s operating.
@@OMFrikkinG Relative to the market for what you get, and the quality level, it's a steal, even accounting the operating cost.
Definitely a 60s-era, James Bond supervillian yacht feel. Goldfinger AND Blofeld approved!
I love the whole interior It's so beautiful. I would live on her. thank you tony
It is a very special yacht!
Cheoy Lees are always interesting yachts, but I would buy this one for sure if I had the money.
Thank you for the tour. You get better every tour. My two critiques: I don’t like dining rooms that seat less than the passenger capacity; I also prefer a hot tub on the sun deck.
Beautiful woodwork. Hideous internal arrangement
Not exactly Nordhavn.
Cheoy Lee has really stepped up the game. I have a Cheoy Lee sportfish 50, I could have a lot more fun if it was 50m instead of 50'.
A big surprise the way this yacht is beautifuly build and maintained
I visited the Chey Lee yard in Kowloon many years ago. They've come a long way. Those flat edge galley counters + several 90 degree corners is a hazard. Ocean Alexander really knows how to avoid this throughout their interior layouts.
Alright Tony hope you are OK,as you came out of the engine room area you mentioned the thing I was thinking all the way around your tour,what an amazing amount of yacht for the money wow! If you didn't know you wouldn't believe it's 12yrs old just a stunner,the furnishings and fittings are gorgeous with a great layout. Tony a great find and one to tour, thanks for bringing this one to us,all the best from Cornwall 🤗🖖✌️
I was so happy I got to tour this one! I’m glad you enjoyed it as much as I did!
@YachtAddiction Tony you do find some exceptional yachts so I have to commend you on that sir for sure,still got my fingers crossed that you will manage to snag that tour on a Gulf Craft Majesty 175 one day, keep up the good work 👍
FACT CHECK: there is a second engine and the second engine room at the bow of the vessel. A Caterpillar engine that controls the bow thruster can also be used as an engine to power the vessel in an emergency.
Beautiful yacht inside and out, but a world explorer with only one engine? Hate to be stuck in the middle of the Atlantic during hurricane season with THE engine down!
That's a fair thing to consider. This yacht has successfully traveled around the world so the choice comes down to your comfortability with that risk.
I agree that is a big gamble
I read that the 360 degree bow thruster in the forward area can be used as an emergency engine and power the yacht at 6kts.
Almost every commercial vessel has one engine. All those bulk haulers etc.
No way in a yacht that size.
Magnifique' !
A very impressive yacht. My only personal quibble is the dark materials used throughout. At $11,000,000, it seems to be good value. With 11 crew an owner can expect at least 10% of the yacht's price to be reflected in upkeep costs.
Thank you video brilliant compliment
Wonderful yacht. Designed by famous sailing naval architect Ron Holland, very handsome. Although the extensive use of zebrawood on the interior is dramatic, it makes the interior too dark for my taste. This yacht would be a grand vessel for a circumnavigation. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for watching!
What a great Yacht. Enjoyed looking at it and hearing your commentary.
I’m glad you enjoyed the tour!
this is exactly what i would want on my yacht, a living room on the owners cabine beside the bedroom, for private space to not have to sit together with the guests all the time to watch tv etc.
Beautiful boat ,Is it also in rental programs .Also I did notice when you opened door for engineers room there was paint bubbles around the handle. Great job .
I have those exact bar chairs! They are so good!
This is the third walk-through I've seen on this yacht; first as "Quing" and second when she just became Avalon. Her craftsmanship and materials used are amazing and beautiful but her layout is not to my taste and I don't think would be good for chartering, but I think it would be better as a liveaboard. I too am a person that is a strong believer in twin engines for redundancy and piece of mind. That being said, the odds of a Caterpillar 3512 marine diesel engine breaking down and leaving you stranded are similar to the odds of you winning the lottery! Cat 35 series diesels just don't break down...
I share the same thought on the Cat!!
Beau yacht. Fonctionnel. La déco et les finitions intérieures sont très belles. Le prix est correct au vu de son refit récent.
Outstanding.
The music is awesome!
Don’t take chances with your hearing. Always use defenders in noisy engine rooms. Just because your hearing was affected in the air force doesn’t mean you can be cavalier with it in your middle years. Deafness is very debilitating, especially socially. Great video and I enjoyed it. Thanks.
This is a beautiful yacht and it honestly makes the $11,000,000 price tag not seem so extreme.
Just awesome!
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Very nice. Good job showing it.
Thank you!
Love this palace a lot !
Cheoy Lee makes some nice yachts, but I'd be cautious with a 'world explorer' that has but one engine. I'm definitely a 'need a backup' kind of guy.
The rotating bow thruster is an emergency engine and can propel at 6kts.
@@jjaus Yeah, somebody didn't watch the whole vid, huh ?! What's cool about this Ron Holland design is that it's not only a separate propulsion system, it's in a separate part of the boat. Fire & prop issues are far more common than one of these big diesel engines failing. And fires are more likely in crowded tech spaces...y'know, the kind where there's two of everything...lol....
Most of the world’s cargo ships sail the ocean every day with just one main engine. A modern marine diesel is a very, very reliable engine. You have to really screw up to get stranded. And with satellite communications, help is rarely that far away. Again, unless you do something stupid.
@@Bill_N_ATX Yes, but there are (relatively) _lots_ of recent stories about engine failures or electronic failures on luxury yachts. And the 'test' for me for explorer yachts is how well they'd do around the Arctic or Antarctic.
@@grondheroengine failure should be blamed on the engine manufacturer (MAN, Caterpillar, etc) rather than the yacht itself though. How many of those “luxury yachts” were actual true explorer yachts though? Bering and a few others have very high safety records and they build almost exclusively explorer yachts
Boa tarde...raramente se ver um iate com um so motor. Assim sendo, qual a economia q este faz em combustivel p q possamos pensar em uma proposta. Caterpillar é mundial, é de confiança por isso ficamos quase totalmente convencido quanto à navegabilidade em longas distancias p este magnifico iate. Otima apresentação. Parabeeeens.
Nice
Very Beautiful, 👍
Very impressive thank you❤️⚓️
It's my pleasure!
Those dark walls are exquisite! Are they macassar ebony?
She's been one of my fav yachts for years and her sister yacht Dorothea III (ex Marco polo)
This one was incredible to see and tour! It’s one of my favorites.
Спасибо тебе, Тони, за твою работу! Привет из России, от людей, которые не могут себе такого позволить. Но с радостью смотрят твои видео. ( и если ты не знал, - многие в России не хотят войны)
And many more of us in Europe don't want to fight our fellow men either. Politicians should be made to fight each other, not the people. They wouldn't be so quick to call for war if they were the ones that had to fight it.
Из России как раз основные покупатели дорогих яхт , наряду с арабами.
Я тоже против войны, и именно поэтому бандеровская хунта должна быть уничтожена. А либеральные западные агрессоры, развязавшие войну, должны понести наказание.
Variable pitch is what we had on our minesweeper, Twin screw 4 main engines.
It's classy.
Excellent presentation..
Thank you!
Very nice. I could live on this I do believe. Wonder how many crew members you would have to have. I’d say at least 6 to 8.
Yeah, one engine, I prefer two engines with an additional 'get home' system
Also, the rusted anchor chains should have been changed out with new ones. The rusted barbecue grill racks should also have been changed out with new ones.
The details mean everything!!!
I'll take 6 of em!!!
GOOD JOB .
perfect
Love ur work bro
I'm buying a yatch soon
nice vessel.
Has the yacht been renamed from Qing to Avalon ❓❓
This is really nice
It sure is!
I'm thinking this would get me flex points
Classy.
Very!
Beautiful yacht and thorough tour, the narrative could use some polishing though.
wow wow
Wow indeed!
Cooktop in the galley was filthy
At 28:20 is that rust bubbling up around the door handle on that access door
Is that picture on display in the living area 10:30 of Avalon in the Alaskan bay available anywhere?
Not sure I would want to be crossing an ocean with only one engine. Blue Moon still my favorite.
Nice price for a yacht of that size
Sold, as soon as I win the lottery😁
It sounded like at the end you called the ship the Babalon, and im sure i seen the name Avalon on the rear the aft .WOOPS
Were any of the engines (engine, generators..) actually running in the engine room or was that just the fans/pumps etc?
This was one of those ‘My wife did the interior design’ type of builds. 😂
is the yacht made in Hong kong
I think the yacht reviewer needed to get a briefing on the features of the kitchen. This kitchen seemed to be a proper professional kitchen for long distance cruising with months at sea. Pointing a camera and saying this is the kitchen did not do it justice. Most European yachts have well appointed domestic level kitchens for a maximum of week at sea. This 46m Cheoy Lee has a proper chefs kitchen.
A single engine worries me, what if the engine, transmission, drive shaft or propeller fails? Is there a Come Home emergency system?
Great clip, you forgot the foward garage.
I do like this yacht, but it lacks the all essential Jacuzzi. Also if you lose one engine in a one engine set up, you are in deep trouble.
It probably has a smaller engine for emergency use, also you can use the 360° bow thruster.
$11,000,000 for this yacht seems really cheap. I know nothing about yachts, other than what I picked up from a couple of TH-cam vids, but the price for such a beautiful yacht seems like a supper deal. I saw a video of a 60-ish foot fishing yacht that went for $11,000,000 (it had two engines) and I thought it was a great buy, but this one is twice the yacht for a million less. Maybe it's the two vs. one engine difference?? Anyway, thanks for showing this beauty to us.
هل يوجد محرك احتياطي للطوائ؟
تصميم اكثر من رائع
Hearing loss is cumulative so always wear ear protection.
I have 2 of these
If I am going to cross an ocean I would need more than one engine. Redundancy is the key for me.
My son in law is captain of a 600 foot oil tanker with but one engine ! So it’s ok guys
It can be the engine alone there give 6600 miles? Most most depent on tank sizes? So tell what it use pr. Hour.
The running commentary needs polishing, beautiful yacht surprised not to see sun deck hot tub
I think part of why the price seems low is the cost of running this vessel is extremely high. Full crew, provisions, fuel, etc is going to be 100's of thousands per year, possibly 1M+.
Don"t quit your full time job.
What are they asking for it?
Sweet boat, but do you really want to cross the ocean with only one engine?
A philanthropist who has no inflation and has not exploited anyone will buy it.
single engine???
If that yacht was on the Great lakes caught in a winter storm . Sure bet we would be reading of her loss ..
No hot tub???????????
I know right!! I’m putting a stop payment on my check. 😂
You're right! Always baffles me even on yachts smaller than 46m. But yeah, if you bought it, I'm sure you could install one.
I think I would buy another motor and keep it stored incase the installed motor broke down!
*One main engine? No bueno.*
Beautiful in every possible way….However the fatal flaw is a single engine. I would never want to be in the middle of the Atlantic and have to recover from an engine issue.
Not bad for a 12yr old boar.
