Brilliant! So that's close to a £1M a year, but extra peanuts for parking. How to leave a sour taste or what? Surprised they even mention it! Dont know about anybody else but I always prefer an 'all in' price wherever posssible when selling to my customers, it is less aggro for the customer.

The location address for it is great = "Billionaires Quay".

I'm not seeing that ...? 'Parking passes included'

Selling? Need something a little larger for your next vessel, eh Jimmy
Depending on exactly how you moored them, I think you could get about 45 Targa 40's in that berth...

Aka the IYCA, but yes it really is commonly known as the billiionaires quay.

Edit: ah, sorry - you're referring to the standard Port Vauban parking data that they include on every listing for berths in the port. Parking is included with this berth, as it is with my (ever so slightly, ahem) smaller berth on Quai 2.

Don't believe all you read on the www. That is the price for extra parking spaces beyond the freebies you get as a berthholder.

Beg your pardon Jimmy, I got to the parking price and responded before seeing the bit about it being included. So just a cozy £1M a year, excellent. It is good for someones business and much better to spend money on a boat than leave it in a bank.

I am sure it is lovely, and a damn site warmer than being on the Itchen, but as I turn to a dishcloth at 28 C, I wont be at all envious, er except from October to April!

Hah, don't see where the word bargain comes into it, personally.
Looks a fantastic place tho.

Trying to think with my billionaires cap on but is much need to own a berth or is it a luxury? In winter there is pretty much always space on the IYCA if you wanted to get on it and in the summer you are often on the move. Obviously this is pocket change for a billionaire so I guess it really doesn't matter!

The 88.7K Euro annual service charge would be a bitter pill to swallow, never mind berth cost.

I was thinking that you could buy the whole marina at Sant Carles for less.
More likely, I think you could buy the whole of Spain for less than that.

The logic would be that you'd always have a space - it is hard to get space for a 90m boat and some people like to be in port occasionally not at anchor. When you're not on it the rental, of which the owner gets about 70% after the port's commission, is something like €3.5k per night winter and more in the peak season (going from rough memory)
You're right that billionaires' quai can be half empty thru the winter, because a lot of these boats go to the caribee, so you only have a 50% chance of collecting that rental if you don't use the berth

I guess if you can afford the berth and a boat to fit it then the incoming rental probably doesn’t feature highly in the equation!

That's serious doughage, but I can see that working, 3500 in winter, summer say 7,000... 180 days at 70% less and it may work out to be a good winter home berth for your not so average Carib bound 80m owner.
