A Tollycraft 61 Motor Yacht travels at 23.7 knots at full speed. A knot is the same as a nautical mile per hour. A nautical mile is 1.852 kilometers. What is the full speed of the yacht in meters per second?

I am very interested in getting a yacht. what yacht should I get?
10 million pounds, so roughly 19 million us dollars. I need a motor yacht. To the idiot that advised me to get a life. This is exactly what I am doing! I already give tons to charity.

Niki asked:


I know we used to have a lot more back in the old days, but with everything going high tech, how many on average are usually employed on today’s 100ft yachts? (say cruising the Mediterranean)

I’d really appreciate it if you knew the titles / ranks (??)

OK business plan here- advice or hole-picking more than welcome?

luxury yachts
DaveyMcB asked:


I leave University (in the UK, I am British) next year. My plan is to get a business loan and buy a motor yacht, the type with, say, six double berths, sun deck, diver’s platform- you know the type. Then charter it purely as a luxury vessel for long-term holidays, small groups etc etc. My questions are as follows:

1. Would this be a feasible plan?

2. Does it already happen?

3. Could a yacht of this size do long-haul voyages, eg, UK to USA?

Thanks a lot guys and girls, any help or references would be great too! (IE, what qualifications would I need?!). As you can tell it is only a hatchling idea at the moment but I’m hoping my luxury yacht/ global holiday venture will work!
