@@andrewmcdermott2394 true, I have crossed the Atlantic 3 times seldom got over 7 knots, I just think money bag power yacht owners will want at least 12 knots.
Don't say that - its got the same wall lamps* as I have in my Psychopathic Lair and all other accessories are made from stainless steel as well. You've upset my feelings now :-) * Modern Forms/ cast glass + black bronze
This thing is insane, I have a pretty big house and this thing is bigger than it. To think you could have a personal boat bigger than my actual house is insane to think about.. wow I’m impressed. It does seem kind of dark and gloomy in the indoor areas but that may just be from the camera. It’s definitely an amazing vessel.
Stupid layout, NO windows in many of the bedrooms, or on lower deck (even transom type windows), bathrooms too cramped in lieu of bigger rooms over all. Wasted space in much of the layout, way too much wood work around doors that adds weight overall. WHO decided GRAY was the only color in this whole place? UGH, not worth the money they're asking.
Thanks for adding, I couldn't agree more. Fendi Casa, Winch Design, Sinot Yacht Design, or Robert Stern could've made this platform a complete work of art. The underlying concept of having a barge operating as a condo-esque mansion doesn't necessarily strike an appealing cord with me, but I can see how the dimensions work well together and some buyers may adore the idea. To each their own, but either way with this case the execution and interior design are both incredibly sub-par. For example at 6:08, the shelf beneath the mirror has exposed mounting brackets. That'd be totally unacceptable in almost any house and it's even more unacceptable in the case of an eight-figure vessel. Another quick example is the door shown at 2:49. It's clearly an off-the-shelf door the builders bought from a hardware store and threw in. The hardware and furnishings just aren't bespoke enough and, while it could conceivably be acceptable as a proof of concept, is just completely insulting at this price point. In short: What any competent shipbuilder must accept is that the shipbuilder does pretend to be designers and the designer(s) must have genuine pedigree; in yachting or otherwise. The list I gave above are globally renowned masters and in this vessel's price point, the builder just can't afford to be so far behind the quality curve. They just can't. This is not a game and they're killing themselves by lessening the importance of this. Any buyer in this segment could purchase a 100+ ft used Azimut for $3-4M, with vastly better mobility and a fully integrated, masterful design, and maintain it to a high standard of quality for less than what is essentially McMansion-grade hardware in a powered barge. The builders need to accept this and just sell the platform (barge+drivetrain) to more competent builders. There's no shame in being a valued supplier. There is shame in trying to posture as being able to deliver a competent product with decent value while, in actuality, delivering a product with ultra-blatant cost saving measures and irresponsible design.
in the Netherlands thousands of people live on the water in all kinds of floating houses...but this one is great... nobody ever mentioned the price for the berth for this huge thing...40ft wide....because it needs lots of energy... from Spain
very cool! but make no mistake it won't "take you anywhere you want to go". Maybe in inland waterways but certainly not offshore. For that money why not just buy a NordHavn 86'. Go anywhere in the world with ease. not as much room but can go thru a hurricane.
I agree with the other comments that the interior is a tad dark and gloomy, but I would chill in it during a hurricane without a single fear or worry. I like the design of it, but not the darkness inside of it. I would have it looking like a tropical cabana resort.
That ain’t crap, there’s a bigger house boat than that in Fourchon, Louisiana, it may not be a “yacht” but it’s way bigger than this boat; 3 stories high, and it looks way better than this boat from the outside. It’s like a baby blue with white window frames, and all of the windows are tinted. The owner is the guy who owns all of the big oil rig boats of the gulf. If you want to see it in personal view that’s where it should be at, he sometimes moves it from that spot to the landing but it’s rarely when he does it, but it should still be in that spot. 29°09'04"N 90°11'20"W
12 million dollars. Who the heck would design a floating box like this ? Most of the rooms offer so very bit of natural light. Like a floating tomb. Handles well in four ft seas. My 21 ft boat handles well in four ft seas. I'd like to see this vessel doing five knots in a hurricane down n the Bahamas. Sorry, the home looks nice , but without a flashlight to get around the interior, don't want to even think about this. Nuts!
There is no function to this vessel other than just to have a large party on the water. It’s very barebones. It’s like they built the frame, stuffed some normal furniture in it, had some houseboat parties, and said let’s sell it.
This yacht was docked at Westshore YC in Tampa last year then it was anchored off the Gandy Boat Ramp then I saw it traveling south past Treasure Island a couple months ago. I hear the owner owns a barge company.
very different for sure.... I'll stick to a 50 ft Viking with a dingy.....when I hit the lotto...!!! thanks for the video though and thumbs up from ... 1FM Lake George, NY
@@porkys1029 It's not an ocean going vessel it's a houseboat if you want to live by the waters edge, we have a lot of boat houses on the river Thame in England, this would fit in pretty well as a home,restaurant or hotel
I saw this in the bay on the Northeast side of the skyway bridge 2 weeks ago. I wondered what the hell it was. Now I know it's an insanely overpriced barge. Would like to know the sucker who bought this metal hunk O'Junk.
That giant ugly thing comes through the intercoastal where I live. I have seen it a few times. The owner likes to visit the restaurants along the water.
Wow, that award,-winning acting at the beginning didn't make me feel like I was watching a commercial AT ALL! Anyway, if you think this looks like a mansion, you need to get out more often. Second, its sea worthiness seems somewhat questionable. It reminded of those pontoon boat "mansions" from Lake of the Ozarks which are basically floating double wides.
Very tastefully & appropriately decorated. Anyone that comments otherwise, has no idea about The elements of design. The guy who videoed this needed to talk a much less. He annoyed me, and was very rude. I’ve seen more impressive house boats / Yachts in Europe and elsewhere. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Not a yacht ... a least not in the traditional feel of what you think [visually] of a yacht. This has all the flavorings of a "Houseboat" ... mansion style. I trust this houseboat has excellent ability to control indoor lighting, being able to create ambiance and mood, by use of light. More outside light on the lower decks would be a really nice touch.
I don't know why so many people have issues with this houseboat. I like it. The interior is nice, it's clean, open and spacious. Compared to other houseboats that look like trailers on water -- this one is beautifully crafted with quality in mind.
@@AlfredMontaner As the saying goes, if you can't afford it, find a reason to hate it. There's nothing wrong with this boat at all. If I could afford it, I would buy it.
Clearly I made a mistake in my career choices. Never before have I wished I should have taken up illegal drug dealing, than right now. Damn! Sweet boat!
Watching from the UK 🇬🇧 I have 1 question, Why? For $12m think of the mansion you could buy and possibly have a couple $m dollars change to splurge on.
so what happens when the 4-18 ft platform legs are extended and all that weight makes the legs sink into the mud and get stuck? 5 knots, huh? I guess with a headwind or currents you are only go down stream. I see many 100 ft houseboats on the Cumberland lake , not as much sq footage but more practical. If I wanted a big square box, I could convert a barge and buy a tug for 12 million dollars.
