    If I owned a Giga Yacht, my favorite amenity would be the endless selection of escorts on board every day.

    You forgot the most important luxury, the 20,000 Euro a month "girlfriend"

    The ability to go outside of the normal tourist ranges. The far North is at the top of that list followed by Antarctica. This means good extreme latitude communications and a good ice hall. I would therefore try and get something seaxplorer in the Darwin size range as opposed to the more expensive and larger seaxplorer size range. ( Darwin's are typically 200 to 500 gross tons whereas seaxplorer are 2500 to 6500 gross ton vessels.

    I was surprised and gratified to see that one of these yachts actually had a library.

    As a First Mate on a 28m yacht the only inaccuracy I know of is the $1m for 3.3ft. I would say $1m per 3m is a more accurate assessment on the cost of a brand new vessel. Also, an easy evaluation of how much a captain is paid is for every 10 year of direct experience you add $500/per foot per year starting at $1000/pfpy. I know a captain on a 80ft making $300k/yr. Truly lucrative for those who making yachting their career field.

    10% of the purchase price is the starting point of owning a yacht for each year passed.

    It's funny that the biggest Megas are still about the same size as your average cargo ship.

    You forgot about Dilbar the biggest megayacht in the world. 16,000 gross tons.

    When it comes to super yacht's bigger isn't always better. Size limits you to where you can, and can't dock. I'd say 60 meters or less is the perfect size. Another thing you didn't touch on is that most used yacht's get a complete refit by the new owners.

    Somebody should buy those 2 year old Littoral Combat Ships being decommissioned and turn them into a superyacht. 45 knots is plenty fast for a 3000 ton vessel. A two helicopter hangar and expansive boat launch doors are complimentary. All it needs is an interior makeover and disarmament.

    How seaworthy are these yachts? The Queen Mary 2 can cross the Atlantic in pretty much all weather, these boats have massive ranges but look too fragile to tackle any serious weather.
