Motor Yachts - Part One

This is a compilation of the Motor Yacht types, an alphabetical order of the most known brands. As this is useful for them as it is for the readers of this blog, I haven’t considered to ask permission for the pics or the text excerpts I’m going to use in this article, directly from the mother sites of each motor yacht brand. It is a complex one, in more parts, which will cover the first issue of the yacht choosing process. I’ll continue as soon as possible with the types of yachts using sails as the propulsion and the combination of power with sails, being more specific with the boats built in Turkey.

I’m using lists from wikipedia as well. (I guess, I'm going to use their boat types lists, I'm not sure).

 The Charles Chang's Activa Marine from Australia, specializes in power yacht construction, from the smallest (46 ft) to the luxury (85 ft).

Here are some model samples: 


The new ACTIVA 4600 Euro Style Sedan/Flybridge has a three cabin design, new window styling, new flybridge layout, new stainless arch and optional hard top and extending the cockpit and swim platform.



The new ACTIVA 5100 Sedan/Flybridge has wide side-decks, a spacious Foredeck and the large Cockpit.



The ACTIVA 6400 represents a high water mark for all raised pilothouse motor yachts.



 The 7000 is the flagship of ACTIVA raised pilothouse fleet.




This motor yacht is the largest version of the ACTIVA Legacy range of Motor Yachts.

"The Motor Yachts can be built to survey requirements with a choice of ABS or USCG [USA] NK [Japan] Lloyds [UK] MSA [NZ] USL Standard [AUST]."


They act modestly: "With so many models to choose from and supplier prices changing monthly because of the movement of the US dollar, prices can’t be posted on the web as they constantly change."
This is as unprofessional as it takes, because it drives the potential client to the brokers, and the brokers are automatically "+" at the price evaluation. Either they put on top of the builder's price or they claim to have a certain commission paid, you understand what I mean. Of course, a broker sometimes can be invaluable. 
I'm offering you some Australian prices here, as the company is based there. A new 4600 is $ 795,000. 1 Aus$ = 1.0066 USD that meaning the price is almost in USD. A 5300 is 1,25 Mil, a 5800 is 1,49 Mil, a 6400 is 1,85 Mil, a 8000 is 3,75 Mil and the 8500 Legacy Model is 4,250,000 Aus/US Dollars.
Don't understand what was so hard to publish...

Let's continue with another brand.
The Azimut, who reminds me of the beautiful Savona where the acquisition of the service and delivery center, with the refurbishment of the Benetti Shipyards in Viareggio and the building of a new industrial plant near Torino, is almost unchallenged in the production of fiberglass hulls for yachts and mega-yachts over 24 meters long.
Here are some samples of the models built by this prestigious company.
They make the Flybridge-Range, the S-Range, the Leonardo and two models of Magellano.
The Azimut Flybridge 38 was made to meet the needs of the yachtsman. Environmentally friendly, easy to maintain and extremely easy to handle, his lack in length is counter-measured by the style, elegance and comfort. 




The Azimut S-Range yachts are for performance and comfort. This is a 68S





 Azimut Leonardo 100 is a 30 meters class of his own. The flybridge with space, the real combination.



  The Magellano 74 is the yacht for cruising around the world without crew.






The prices are also high, a 2003 flybridge of 39 ft. can be found with around 240,000 USD and a used Magellano 74 with a new hull, with 2,900,000 Euros. 

More companies and yacht models, as soon as possible, after I fix the routine with this blog, :) Daily posting is ideal, :))
