SUPER YACHT OF THE PRESENT.
The main buyers of yachts - Arab princes and Russian biznesmenyEtim summer in Moscow to talk about the subject of the business elite are not the euro, not politics or even the fate of Yukos. The main theme for discussion - who, where and on what boat spent his holidays. Today the Russian love of boats all over the world speaks.
Roman Abramovich recently purchased a ' boat ' (the third in a row ), which surprised even the worldly-wise Western billionaires and Arab princes. The yacht worth more than EUR 100 million are even own a submarine! . Another sailor, Boris Yeltsin, was seen in the summer in Sardinia on a giant yacht with girlfriend. Grandson of the first ex-president has called on the island have dinner and listen to the concert of an Italian pop diva. Alekperov and Ralif Safin, too, bought a boat and keep them parked in Sevastopol. It seems obsessed with yachts Moscow: Russian became the main customers of luxury yachts in the world market.
* Today, the rich man should have a home in Zhukovka, sports car, a house on the Mediterranean Sea and, of course, a yacht to him - tells me CEO of the Moscow office of one of the most famous Italian manufacturers of luxury yachts ( cost from 50 thousand. euros ) Alex Petrossian. - Price depends on the yacht of her class and fillings (satellite navigation system, echolocation, e-cards, etc. Dr.. ). Russian prefer motor yachts, while in Europe are highly respected yacht sailing. Boats are divided into the sport ( less) and cruise ( more). The class depends on the length of the boat: Boat - up to 30 meters, yachts - from 30 meters, mega-yachts - from 100 meters.
* Superyachts imply only expensive materials - precious woods, genuine leather. But most importantly - the electronic filling - satellite navigation, radar. A boat may be small, but very expensive due to the ' internals '. With regard to all sorts of bells and whistles, it all depends on the imagination of the customer. As the boat - the goods piece, each must have its own flavor, a sort of chip to be different from other. Heliport, or your telephone company. Huge cost of cinemas from 30 thousand. dollars, transparent hot tub on the deck and dance floor is no surprise. Customers want to see the classics soundly, because the design of yachts changed infrequently - once every 10-15 years, as in classic cars. I heard about one customer who ordered his yacht to a recording studio. But it was abroad. We recently sold a boat, where every room has its own style. Bar is made in the African-style nose - in the Buddhist, the second deck - in the Persian. The size of yachts is now no surprise - you can surprise guest designer, such as Philippe Starck and Ralph Lourenom. You see, buying a yacht for 130 million. euros, a difference of 20-30 million is not important. All firms like us enter into agreements not to disclose information about customers, so that sometimes I do not know for whom is this or that boat. Incidentally, the new Russian usually buy Italian boats: they are the most prestigious luxury- market boats and yachts in the fashion dictated by the world. A small sailing yacht worth $ 40-50 thousand. Yachts with an exclusive design - from $ 500 thousand. The greatest demand for new Russian yacht used for the $ 5-10 million. - Such a shame and people show.
Russian ****, usually have two yachts. One - to navigate through the suburbs and nearby rivers, the other - runs in European waters (Mediterranean, Baltic ).
* Do Parisians have long been fashionable to live in any barge or boat, moored to the pier on the Seine - tells me a novice sailor and businessman Anton ( surname not to be asked ). - In real estate investing the money is not all bought yachts. This is the house and the opportunity to travel and meet its ambition. I've now received his skipper and also buy a yacht. I wanted to buy a new home on the ruble, but then changed his mind: it is better cruising yacht.
Among the European owners of megayachts considered mauvais ton to use as a tender ( a ship, where you can get from shore to the boat ), an expensive boat. According to the unwritten rules is that the cost of the tender may not exceed $ 800 thousand. But we here in front of the entire planet. Russian get to their boats on boats valued at $ 10 million.
* Today, politicians, bankers and businessmen like to spend their vacation on the Cote d'Azur in France and Italy. Demand creates supply: sailing today - the most promising industry - continues to Anton. Buying a big, expensive yacht, the owner realizes that he can not ride it all year long, so long as the vessel is not used by the owner, the yacht shall be in the charter - rent. This international practice, which is not considered shameful to use all of billionaires. In order to formalize the charter must agree with the charter company, and she will get insurance and all necessary documents.
To become a real **** sailor must learn to manage the yacht - said my companion - President of the Russian Association of Yacht Sergey Moiseyev. - Sailing yacht - for fanatics for real sailors, not to Ponte. Knowledgeable people do not change a sail on a motorboat. First, the fuel for such a boat is not necessary: you catch the wind and go on the water. Absolute silence around, no pollution. Boat Dealers insist that boats are better because they are more expensive. In fact, sailing yacht virtually no breaks, cheaper to operate, in addition, there are boats with sails - twists that should not be adjusted manually - just click. Such a boat could carry it alone, even a woman. Now the yacht club parking lot packed with all the boats, they are very fond of the Muscovites, though they stand as a good sailing yacht. This is all from the lack of culture. The boat did go far away - it's parking needs, zaparvki. In Moscow alone, and cut it.
* Sailing is very popular today, like all water sports. The season begins in Moscow in May and lasts until October. When our sailors come abroad, foreigners ask: ' You do not have the same sea, where you learn? ' . The cost of the course the skipper on the Aegean Sea - 600-700 euros. There is a system of distance education (500 euros). But after you get the ' right ' - Bachelor ' Day Skipper ', which will allow you to take a boat anywhere in the world without a captain (much cheaper). According to Sergey, Moscow - is not suited for yachts City. No refills, specialty stores and shops. Arriving at the yacht club, you can watch the following scene: a few men discharged from the SUV with the fuel canisters. That is why Moscow Yacht owners move to diesel engines: the road you can have someone pour fuel. In parting, Sergei told me a sad story:.
- We in the club was a man - an avid sailor, walked all the seas, great boat ran. killed.
- And what happened to him?.
- drowned. It turned out, did not know how to swim.
