Why MegaYacht Andromeda needs a big crew! 

July 2020 still watching during lockdown this is interesting stuff for me because I'll never own one of these

Kiwi - Graham Hart is among the world’s most private billionaires,& New Zealand's richest, he is not shy about spending lavishly and is a serial buyer of super-yachts, including the 116-metre (381-feet) Ulysses. Valued at about US$200 million, the vessel is spacious enough for a helipad and another smaller yacht on its front deck. One of his previous yachts, also named Ulysses/Andromeda, featured a decommissioned US Navy submarine lashed to the fore deck that provided an underwater getaway for as many as six people.

stradivarious hardhiantz you mean a 1000 employee corporation

@@Shocksink company with thousands of employee should be over billions of dollar market cap

More akin to running a department, or small division within a corporation more interesting and fun I would like to add...................

stradivarious hardhiantz Thousand employees doesn’t mean a billion dollar market cap

Consti well, companies with hundreds of thousands employees have hundreds of billions of dollars worth of market cap. So it makes sense to assume that thousands of employees is to roughly billions in market cap. Keep in mind market doesn't mean revenue..

Probably not allowed to do that for security reasons

I can't wait to see the finished product.

Shit! They are 7 Marine outboards, 557 or 627s, not sure which, and that is the horse power these OBs put out. Between 2000 and 2500 HP on the back of this tender! Just looking at a video of a 39 footer with 3 of them, it can make 80 knots!

Yep, those are 7 Marine OBs, either the 557 model, or the 627. That is their horsepower, each! Between 2000 and 2500 HP total. A 39 footer with 3 627s can make 80 knots.

Thanks, I have a new camera actually. Just bought a Canon EOS-R to replace my 80D. Audio is Rhode AudioMic Pro.

No they go with them. I have a video soon showing how they load them.

@@YachtReport they load that two deck tender on that thing?? wow!

jimmy matho that’s crazy that giant ship swallows up that other giant ship

sik59rt yep. That two decker tender sits in the bow of andromeda. One of the reasons it’s my favorite yacht

Well that’s tricky, that ship is old so probably required more crew because of less automation. But a modern ship of that size would be around 400+ crew. Wit cruise ships it depends on the level of service. The higher level the more crew per guests there would be.

@@YachtReport 400+ and with no one attending to guests. I believe (through documentary film) crew size was close to 2000 when used as a liner. Hey what about propulsion? Studies always say that the ship, if renovated must move away from steam. How else I ask do you make 250,000+ HP available? Will the US United States ever sail again. Studies say hull is sound. Thanks Oh I bet others find the story of the US United States interesting.

I am Groot!

They recover the big one too on the bow. Incredible I know but it fits.

A SuperYacht, no. You couldn’t operate it on your own, it’s impossible.

You'd be used to the same lifestyle on shore. Superyachts have very private suites for the owner where they can unwind without being disturbed, by crew or by their own guests. The level of help they're used to is extremely unobtrusive in the first place. A good butler always anticipates your desires and preempts your needs.

I was using one

@@YachtReport :O

Eddie Murphy I think it is one of several countries' flags adorning the quayside.

I made a video about that ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TbPWfJ4tRmo.html

Ulysses was Graeme Harts original yacht built in 2014. He sold it in 2017 and it was renamed Andromeda by the new owner. Graeme replaced it in 2017 with a 116m explorer he named Ulysses after the first one.

That’s incorrect. The yacht in this video is 107m. There is also a cruise ship terminal if they can’t fit anywhere else. Monaco has a cruise ship terminal also. I personally have been in there on a 135m yacht and Dilbar docks there regularly (160m+)

@@YachtReport Ok thanks ... (Atlantic/Mediterranean), on a 110 meter yacht, for 16 passengers, 45 crew; - other than 20% more pay than the average and 50 % more living space on the average for each crew member, would you have any other recommendations, strategies to minimize the turnover of staff...

1111 Currency salary is paid should be euros as less fluctuation. But if those things are as you say I’d look at working conditions. How many hours crew are working? Do they have full rotation (engineers/deck officers)? If the owner lives onboard for long periods it exhausts crew as they have little or no time off, extreme long hours etc.

@@YachtReport Thanks ... for your suggestions ...
