Warship or Superyacht?
#superyacht #superyachts #yachts #boats
We're back in Genoa, for a look at a very well known vessel that has graced our channel before. Does a bear Skat in the woods? I guess it does, anyway apart from the name, the yacht is a striking vessel as well as the other yachts we are looking at today, one another military style vessel and a brand new yacht that looks like a very old yacht!

Finally a superyacht owner who has taste. Love the Blue look.
Always fun videos here and always fun to discuss which yacht you’ll pick with the $27.43 available in your checking account. ** sigh ** 😊
There is nothing more beautiful than an old school yacht with the new mod cons. Nostalgia is at times needed.
Why so slow? The owner is wise enough to understand that it is the journey not the destination.

I know the owners have plenty of money but they still worry about costs. 10 kts is slow but increasing the speed by 2 kts doubles the fuel consumption, another 2 kts and another x 2 in costs. A 50m yacht sailing at 12-13 kns uses approx 6000li per day, plus generators at 250-500li per day depending on load. Ultralow sulphur MGO is currently 62c/li, so $4000/day and owners dont want to spend nearly $8000 for the sake of 2 kts. A busy yacht might spend 180 days at sea which means an extra $1.4M/year.

No, it's to make it easier for the pirates to attack you, take you hostage and hold you and the yacht for ransom because you can't outrun them. 🤨... 😄😆😂

My sweet spot is around 8 to 15 litres per hour - 6 to 8 knots - 49 to 67 foot loa. Preferably Gardner powered. I choke at triple digit fuel (even anything above 50 LPH) consumption, the cost is ridiculous over a decent voyage.

@@csjrogerson2377 I'd imagine there's a larger component of range. The owner optimized the boat for being able to go far, and in turn gave up on going fast.
@csjrogerson2377

Not really as range is also limited by hull shape, stability and how much fuel you can physically carry. In addition if you go really slowly and with low consumption you get long range, but there isnt sufficient storage for food. Most yachts carry enough for 2-3 weeks, but if you're only doing 6-8 kts you dont get far. Fuel is generally 5,000 NM at cruising speed.
BLUE II is so much more attractive than the modern yacht styles.
I love Blue 11 12 knots is fine.............you don't spill yer beer......!
THANKS ESYSMAN 🤗 FOR A GREAT TOUR TODAY,PERSONALLY I WOULD ENJOY ANY OF THEM 😎💚💚💚
Big up the Skat Man... A breath of fresh air 😅😅😅
Blue sports a 'canoe stern'. Very pretty.
I would go for the older looking boat. The rear windows of skat look like a shopping centre Great video 2x 👍

Skat is also a well known card game. Not sure why we should think it has kinda more obscure 'animal poop' meaning in this case.
Norn in currently in Dublin. A first visit. MY Air is in Cork, but that's a regular. We don't get too many Superyacht visitors, so always exciting, although Kaos was in Dublin last year too, moored in the bay were Bono lives. .
Thanks for giving us a look at Blue II. Instant classic.
In the places where the super yachts reside, no one notices the super yacht anymore. When Blue ll arrives, everyone looks. So much more class.
Have you heard about the 13 grew and passenger arrested on a super yacht in Greece for starting a forest fire after they set off fireworks from the boat ?

Fun fact - the other military looking yacht featured in the video used to be named ‘Izanami’ which if you read it backwards says something quite different…. 😮

nice to see a different style of super yacht.
I believe the style of stern on Blue II is referred to as a "canoe stern." I watch every video you publish. Thanks!
I prefer the classic looking yacht.
Not sure if this has been said already, but the word "skat" in danish and norwegian, as well as "skatt" in swedish literally means "treasure". In both danish and norwegian it's also used much like the word "love" is used in UK english when speaking to another person in a loving/warm manner.
🤩 Blue II looks quite similar to Eric Clapton’s former yacht, “Blue Guitar”💕
Always entertaing. Thank you E Sysman. Cheers from Canada
I like the military look of skat 😎
At 10:18 that ship reminds me of M/Y Mizu. Look it up.
@archiegoodwinjr

I ditto that. Ronen reminded me of Mizu and Bleu de Nimes.
Perhaps the older looking yacht is slow because it is a full displacement hull? If it is ice rated perhaps that would make sense to have a FDH for long range and stability in harsh weather. Maybe the owner is prioritizing that over speed. Just a guess. Thank you for the informative video. Your content is refreshingly free of hype
Great video. Thanks!
Blue II is one of my favorite yachts. If you would have put that on your thumbnail photo, i would have clicked on this video a few days ago. The 2 styles of yachts I dislike the most are military looking and any yacht named after a James Bond Movie.
Excellent video, thank you for making this.
BLUE II has a canoe stern and will handle well in following heavy seas because waves can’t grab her. SKAT also means TAX in Danish I saw her many times in Copenhagen over several summers.
Skat (Skatt in Norwegian) also means Tax. Kind of ironic since Kjell Inge Røkke fled Norway, and moved to tax haven Switzerland.

It’s really ironic that that a tax refugee as Kjell Inge Røkke have a yacht named Skat. After that the Norwegian government give his firm a lot of money during the COVID pandemic he takes his money and leaves because I don’t want to pay his personal taxes.
If money was limitless , I'd have ' Dilbar ' , on a budget lol, I love the layout of ' Loon 221' , realistically , a Dinghy from Argos lol
Nice one mr sysman
Welcome back!
Interesting , Thank You .
Fabulous.
The yacht over your right shoulder at 3:28 would be more my style of boat.
Skat means Treasure in Dutch and Afrikaans. Skat also is used as a team of endearment in those languages.
Great content. More please.
I love the look of Blue 11 but I would need to up grad her engineering for more speed.
I like anything built by Lurssen.
What would be the reasoning for fashioning a superyacht to look😮 like a military vessel? A perfect disguise? A threat? Or a wealth of power?

@Hydrnaught Skat with a K does not mean animal fecal droppings or any of the synonyms of feces. Skat spelled with a K is defined as a three-handed card game played with 32 cards that is sometimes called the king of German card game. Scat with a C according to Webster has five (5) definition and they are 1) (verb) To go away quickly or move fast, 2) (noun) Animal fecal droppings, 3) (noun) Jazz singing with nonsense syllables, 4) (verb) To improvise nonsense syllables usually to instrumental accompaniment: sin scat, 5) (abbreviation) School and College Ability Test, orvSuppersonic Commercial Air Transport.

Fantail stern vs transom stern 🙂 great looking boat
Great video 👍
Tell your viewers who don't understand to goggle it 😂😂😂
I think I'd have Skat. I like the aesthetic. I'd have to rename it ".xlsx" due to it's history.
Between the yachts today, I'd pick Blue II. I'd no doubt have the support vessel look more like Amadea and similar "sleek" yachts, and have the helicopter and modern things there. Also a swim platform stern 'just in case' I wanted to lounge and swim in turquoise waters. Even though I love the ice hull and the possibilities it allows for. Great Video, some of my favourite type of looking and explanations.
I'd love to own Silverwind.
Love the classical style. Wish you could do an interior tour of Nero.
I don’t know if it’s been mentioned before but SKAT is a three-handed card game, played primarily in Germany but also in some neighboring countries
It's a Danish term meaning "Treasure". A term of endearment often used for a child or a sweetheart - much as an English person might use the term darling. It's all a bit soppy.
You showed Silver Shalis, I worked as an Electrical Designer on that boat back in the day for the build.
It's not a warship! It's purely coincidence that that big hatch in front of the bridge is the same size as a Mk41 VLS. 😀
Nice looking 👀
They named it that because it is very quick....I hope. Didn't want to let you down.
Really enjoyed this video. 3 or 3 not huge, but perfect size yachts. I'd like to have SKAT, but would change name to SKANK. Looking forward to next video
The stunning "old" yacht - what's she called? Something Blue?
Skat could be the chase boat.
I really liked Blue 2 -but has to be faster and a touch-and-go helipad a must.
No way on the slow one. I’d take the last silver one.
Afraid none interest me, my dream is a Wider 180 with the Launch that fits into the beach club pool when underway.
In South Africa skat is the Afrikaans term of endearment for beloved, darling or treasure

Love that Blue 2 boat. It looks so benign, especially compared to aggressive designs like Skat. I would definitely rename Skat, I wouldn't be able to look past the meaning of the word in English (with an alternate spelling). I would be tempted to rename it to "Schat" which means both treasure and darling in Dutch.

Another great video. Which yacht? How about a naval conversion 🚢? The strong infrastructure is already in place. Less time to build? Less cost? Ice class?
weird question, have felonious owners ever bought missles and missle launchers off the black market and installed them on their yatchts?
I do appreciate the older aesthetic, for sure.
SKAT means tax in danish, that's why the first owner named it. As I understand he once lived in 🇩🇰 an paid a lot of skat😢😢😢
Blue for moi.

eSysman: Can you please tell us why everyone focuses on length at the exclusion of gross tonnes? Would it not make more sense to emphasize GT when comparing MYs? I appreciate your explaining that the former owner of Skat's new MY is 20m longer but actually nearly twice as big due to its GT. Again, thank you for the enlightenment!

I figure it's because length requires no explanation, while GT does. This channel is the reason I no longer look at length as the definitive measurement for boat size.
