  • Are we missing out? Is a sailboat what we really want? Are Motor Yachts just plain better? We take you on a deep dive into the question that comes up again and again...Sailboat Vs Motor Yacht, which is better for cruising?
    Crack a beer, sit back and enjoy as our good friends invite us onboard to see all the amenities and go over the details of what it's like to cruise on a motor yacht.
    Hope you enjoy the video!

    Salt water and electronics rarely mix and the ocean is not friendly with our gear. Things are constantly breaking or rusting apart. These are a few of the things we hope to get to keep bringing Sailing Zephyr to you.

    Motor yachts make much more sense for living. Sailboats are good if you’re moving a lot.

      I grew up on a Hatteras. They are great boats

    Yes very nice. But I think I'd rather your fuel bill than his. But yes, very nice. SV Kiwi Lady Opua Bay of islands New Zealand 👍🏿

    Just to play Debbie Downer...I would love to know the operational costs of a big power cruiser over a years worth of cruising. I think it would be one of things that is you have to ask what it costs, you can't afford it. Hard to beat the comfort of that big Hatty though.

    Can’t believe they haven’t cracked open the safe! Lovely boat.

    That fuel weighs just over 17,000 lbs and 500 gallons fresh water would be 4,165 lbs.

    That was something else. Karen and Jay are very gracious. Thank you I really enjoyed that tour. Better than my house
    very fortunate couple. All the best to everyone. Enjoy the ride where ever it takes you.

    At 4 dollars, 4.50 or 5 US dollars a gallon( don't know how that converts to liters per kilometer) that would be respectively 9,600, $10,800 or 12,000 US dollars to fillup with fuel at one time.

    It’s 58ft long - it should have some room!

    Hello Hatteras people. I’m from the outer banks of North Carolina and a proven through DNA a Hatteras Indian. I love your boat and I only have one recommendation. Please watch some videos of carnivore diet. Get rid of foods in a box or bag. You will add years to your enjoyment of this life. You’ll drift into good shape. Have a great day.

  • @bensanders7392
    @bensanders7392 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Do people that can afford 58 ft boats like that hire staff on board....cleaning maids and /or chefs, etc?

  • @cestmoi1262
    @cestmoi1262 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I have always loved Hatteras boats. They are so "comfort" oriented.

  • @wesm3915

    Yes but $12,000 to fill the tanks

  • @theo.r.bitter
    @theo.r.bitter ปีที่แล้ว +3

    That gas station bill though. After those 3,000 nm when the tanks are empty, it's $12,000 to fill 'er up. Yikes!

      We have spent a lot of time doing the math as well. We do not pay for electricity~$200-300/month, heat-$100-200/month, or gasoline for vehicles-$400-500/month or house insurance-$5000/year or property taxes. The $12000 per year for fuel is a bargain when you think of all the other ways there are to spend your money.

    Wow, that is living while cruising

  • @gardgarland5293
    @gardgarland5293 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I did the math in my head but paused the video to confirm on my calculator. 2,400 gallons at $5 is $12,000.
    To use a vehicle analogy, when you can afford a Porsche you don’t ask what the insurance costs.

    That is a beautiful motor boat!

    That motorship runs about 1 liter to 0.5 kilometer. Ouch.

    They need add or lose a safe, you can't be two safe.

    Everything is a trade off. I’m old and will be buying a motor yacht.

  • @sailingsegundo4644

    The difference is a motor sailer is a house that wants to be a boat. A sailboat
    Is a boat that wants to be a house. I would love Convenience of a motor sailer What I cannot do is put that much fuel Pollutants into the planet.

      They should stop using fibreglass to make boats too.

    • @Mobev1

      You’re delusional and have been lied to. At 80,000 feet co2 dissipates and is broken down. Nitrogen also disipares it and it makes up 78% of air. The new diesels require nitrogen to break down the co2. Lastly fossil fuels are not fossils and they were given to us to be used and enjoy the play ground god gave us. They are constantly renewed. You’ll see. Stop watching the Zionist news.

    Love your videos. Just notice twice, on your "adventure" of being stuck in shallow water. NO DEPTH METER/SONAR ?

    • @SailingZephyr
      @SailingZephyr  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ahhh. Yes we have grounded now a few times. We have all the equipment. Sometimes it’s because of shoaling or charts are wrong and other times it’s because we’ve judged wrong. 😁

    On the other hand, it costs (conservatively) $10000 to fill the fuel tanks.

      but it's their home - they aren't paying for utilities on shore, vehicles, lawn care, pool care, housecleaning services, and other home operating costs.
