You need extremely deep pockets not just to buy Octopus but to keep it running.

Octopus yacht running costs. It is a motor yacht meant for pleasure cruising. 235000000 approx. Lucian BOLCAShutterstock Source.

At one extreme for a 40ft 12m yacht its possible to spend up to 10000 per year on a Solent marina berth although other alongside and walk ashore options albeit in less salubrious settings work out well under half that figure. So in theory a 10 million yacht would set you back 2 million a year in operational costs. Adjust the owner use to 2 minimum value owner slider to 0 crew slider to 10 Administration to 10 Fuel and Dockage to 0 Maintenance to 10 and then Capital Repairs to 0.

The rule of thumb is that a yacht costs roughly ten percent of its total cost to operate annually. So in this case at least according to the sale price we are talking 325M every year. So in this case.

Octopus is well-known for hosting famous faces onboard its well-equipped decks serviced only by world leaders in their fields. On a different not I read an article a while ago dont remember the publisher tbh who claimed that Lurssens Octopus costs 20 million annually just to run things smoothly. At todays fuel prices thats going to be close to 500 per hour.

275538000 The 126m 414 ground-breaking exploration yacht OCTOPUS was delivered by Lurssen in 2003. Yes our yacht operating cost calculator can output a budget suitable for this situation. A typical 150 motor yacht cruising at 12 knots will consume in the region of 150 US.

I was frankly shocked that such costs are incurred for a yacht that is in perfect condition which means that this is normal for a yacht of this sizekind. 500 hours per year will give us the main engine fuel budget of around 250000. Octopus is now for sale for the decidedly non-fire-sale price of 326 million a shocking number considering the Lürssen-built yacht is almost 17 years old.
