Thinking of popping out and buying a super luxurious yacht at the weekend? Then first go and find your super piggy bank and while you're doing this, try and imagine something in the region of a huge and calamitous amount of money, then why not quadruple this sum add another obscene figure for those silly little things like staffing and running costs and you're probably well on your way.
This is a world where size or more likely length, matters, think of more than thirty meters and then consider of width, all to do with a simple matter of stability and the extra weights you begin piling on board. You know, on board Swimming Pools, a Spa, four or five Jacuzzi Tubs, Cinemas and Lifts, just exactly what is your Super Cruiser, without a lift or two? And then there's the Heli-Pad and don't forget the crew, how could you? After all, we're only talking about a feeble £1mil per meter, with perhaps a few little and not inexpensive extras.
What do you mean you don't want your ship built at a reliable British Yard? Of course you could shop around a few other possibly cheaper yards, worldwide, but in the long term this could all work out as a potentially expensive risk and you've got the hub of the luxury yacht building world, on your doorstep in Falmouth, Cornwall.
Of course it's getting to be something of a smaller world as all these private galleons become larger and more numerous. But at least you can still travel to some of those remote corner's of the globe and enjoy them from the comfort of your champagne filled circulation tub!
