A FĂCUT O GREȘEL URIAȘĂ CÂND A CUMPĂRAT ACEST YACHT!
Without doubt the yard are crooks, no one but a crook would do this after all.
Thank you Captain Tristan. That is a most frightening scenario and i feel for the owner. However, if people are so wealthy to spend that amount of money on a new yacht, surely the cost of a legitimate broker pales into insignificance with the total investment price (sadly not such an investment) in this case. Thanks for all your informative videos. Having a Captain who is now a broker too, adds so much assurance for your client.
As if….😂
Anyway, you got all the advertising about you and what you do, l remember you did something before but never gave any builders names but you still got your ebegging money.
As usual, GREAT video! I however am disgusted that the shipyard asked you not to reveal their name. THAT shipyard MUST be shut down! DISGUSTING!!!
U are perfectly right! Cant take responsebility for something which isnt certifyed. I see just one solution for the client, he make his captain licenz and drive the yacht by himself.
Stunning revelation that this happens. How could someone with the financial wherewithal to bankroll that kind of investment at the same time not take the most basic steps to protect themselves. Thank you for getting the word out.
So heartbreaking to hear. As someone who has built and owned vessels 🚢 this is a major concern for everyone. I’m surprised there isn’t a lawsuit to recover some of the money from this project. Let the builder take it back and un$&@! their shortcuts and greed!
You should name the yard. The degree of unethical behavior here is GALACTIC!
Can those issues be fixed? Couldn’t a Classification Society survey it and make a list of things to be changed/fixed and go from there?
Guess we will here a super yacht on fire and sank in 18000 feet of deep waters. So will the insurer pay out?
I love this clip. I am one of those owners who buys eight figure yachts. His central message, which is directed to only one group in the story, the owners, reads like this – “dont go direct to the shipyard, come to me so I can organise “class” for you and pocket a spotters fee with a bare minimum of snipping 10% off the contract price. A pretend captain acting as a broker and doing it in broad daylight. Captain Jack would be proud. It amuses me to see young blokes like this, with a bit of chatter, thinking they can outfox men who through a particular skillset can create enough wealth to actually buy and maintain one of these eight figure boats. Cunning and stupid all at once.
ps I know that you read every single comment – and just know that you dont fool any of us mate – by the time we get to you we have been burnt multiple times by the marine industry
Who builds a >24m vessel without class?!?
That must be the most shady shipyard ever.
As a captain (or crew or even owner, whatever) coming in late in the build process or even after delivery, it's IMPOSSIBLE to check quite a number of safety-critical aspects of the vessel. Ok, stability and behaviour is something you can figure out eventually, but things like steel, frame, structure, the welding or even wether it's even acutally built to their own drawings there's so much that you can not assess at all any more.
But there's even more:
Not only do you get a vessel with a completely unknown risk. You also will NOT get annual class surveys.
Wow. This is unbelievably shady.
My guess would be: turkish shipyard.
And if they did cut THAT corner, then there's definitely going to be more corners cut.
Amazing story! But amazes me that someone who on the surface would be a successful person with that type money to buy a "toy" and didnt use good council on design/build/class! . Not that i'm in a postion to order a superyacht, but if i was spending £20/£30m i would want it the best i could get! and great point on the re-sale point. (dont get me on interior design for a re-sale)
I bet this was a Lurssen yacht. 😂😮🤣
Even under 24 m if you choose to charter 😉
As a retired ships master with c.o.c. master all ships for 35 years merchant navy , i don't understand this is still happening today in the yacht world and regulations. Building. Stability , Safety , Environment very important.
well we know its not a Bering built yacht.
Sad story. I wonder who it was advising this buyer.
Great public service you're doing here Cap'n Mortlock.
Hi Tristan:
I am skipping 18M yacht at the moment; everything you say applies to every yacht that leavers the dock.
A few comments that you missed, if I may? Where was the architect?
And when a rescue is necessary, how about the rescue team?
I just watched a vid of a German couple who departed Bermuda for Halifax on their 22M cutter, with two hair-legs for crew. No shake down, no chalk talks, no common scene, and no seamanship!
They sailed by the lee for a day or two. When the weather picked up, they put a preventer on the boom. It was not enough. The jib cracked both owners. The man suffered two compound leg fractures, his mate suffered internal injuries.
By the time the hair-legs got within range of USA & Canadian Coast Guard, both owners were in direr straights; the passed on the chopper.
The hair-legs abandoned ship; the $2M cutter was salvaged by a salvage company.
Did I mention MV Yogi? It is serious business out there.

Thats scary! Opened my eyes for shure!
I wonder if there are two sides to this story where the yacht builder DID advise the buyer to build to commercial minimal standards or to meet minimal class standards? Maybe he wanted to save money or thought it was a waste of money to build to commercial standards or the expense of maintaining certain class standards every year if he was keeping the vessel private? Bad advice from his friends? Did the yacht builder advise him to hire surveyors and to build to the commercial standard, to flag etc and the owner refused? Because as you say, ultimately it's the ship builders name on the vessel! If that ship goes down, catches fire with loss of life, it's their name on that vessel and news will travel amongst the yacht industry that they didn't build to a high standard, that alone could end their business! The ship yard knows better and maybe after repeated advice to hire an outside inspection company, to build to class or commercial standards they had him legally sign off on classifying the vessel because he outright refused?
