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.

Octopus yacht running costs. It is a motor yacht meant for pleasure cruising. Autonomous in every respect the yachts hybrid propulsion system gives her a maximum speed of 19kn and a transoceanic range of approximately 12500nm at her economical speed of 125kn. You need extremely deep pockets not just to buy Octopus but to keep it running.

275538000 The 126m 414 ground-breaking exploration yacht OCTOPUS was delivered by Lurssen in 2003. 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. Generally yachts over 100 feet cost 1 million per 33 feet and thats not counting costs for upkeep.

With a full-time crew of 60 including former Navy Seals maintenance and salaries on the ship cost a rumoured 200 million. At todays fuel prices thats going to be close to 500 per hour. So in this case.

The boat is not available for yacht charter. In July 2015 Octopus was in Reykjavik Iceland. You need extremely deep pockets not just to buy Octopus but to keep it running.

So in this case at least according to the sale price we are talking 325M every year. Octopus has an asking price of EUR 235 million. Imposing at 9932 GT her iconic twin-domed mast makes her instantly recognizable.

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. Yes our yacht operating cost calculator can output a budget suitable for this situation. In September 2019 Octopus was listed for sale.
