Owning a super yacht means not only the initial capital outlay, but also costs associated with the running of it, often stretching into seven figures.
On average, a super yacht owner spends $400,000 on fuel, $350,000 on docking, $24,000 on insurance, $1m on maintenance and repairs and $1.4m on crew salaries per year.
A super yacht that is 100-metre long, with 25 knots top speed and 50 crew should cost about $275m on average, according to Towergate Insurance.
