Nearly half of the world's superyachts belong to Americans and Britons (and owners are spending $22BILLION annually on their floating palaces.
Taken with a pinch of salt cos its in the Wail!

I was until I bought a boat.:ambivalence:

:encouragement:
I suspect quite a few of boaters are in that league!

Wow that is pretty good going for a 15m boat! I spend about the same on a 21foot mobo and 20foot raggie in the Solent. About 10 years ago I spent £10k a year for a 14m raggie.

If only it were practical to be in the med with 3 school age kids.......

Why, most of us do, of course.
The boat pics we normally post are those of the tender, just to keep a low profile, you know...

 

[Whitelighter]

I should probably have said it also excludes flights and car hire

Even so, still pretty good going. I suppose my two add up to 41 feet and since a lot of costs are by the foot/metre I shouldn't be so surprised.

 

[BruceK]

You might also add excluding running repairs. I budgeted 10 last year. Spent more than double all in. Bloody shoals

It is very good value. I doubt I could afford to ru bathe boat comfortably over here.

Berth is £2700 pa inc water and electricity
Just had a lift, 2 days in the yard and relaunch £400
Sand, antifoul with micron extra, polish props and replace a nodes £813 all in
Insurance £540 pa
Probably don't need to service the DDs this year but I'm allowing £1000 every year to make £2000 every 2 years

My 7m berth with MDL in UK is more than that

Don't even think about it, you enjoy it better that way.

wow, thats great for a 15 m boat

for what its worth my 25 foot single engine boat costs roughly the same per annum - berthed in majorca.

 

[SAMYL]

My moorings in Belfast and Strangford cost nothing except my own maintenance ...........................

 

[petem]

But if you didn't have a boat you'd be spending money on hotel accommodation or a cruise.

Thats Great value. My 30 ft boat cost 4k on a dry stack at premier marina in gosport. Without servicing etc

I'd hope that Jez will suffer minimal depreciation too. When I eventually get my syndicate going I'll be hoping for sub £5k p.a. per share and that includes contingency.

Dunno about that - fairly limited market for my boat I imagine.
In the scheme of things the enjoyment is worth it even if I effectively wrote the value off.
I expect to keep her 10 years and don't expect much back after that
