The yacht
Length drives dockage; value drives insurance and refit reserve.
Crew
Above roughly 80 feet, crew becomes the single largest running cost.
Zero for an owner-operated boat.
A further 30% is added for payroll tax, insurance, and provisioning.
Berth, insurance & refit
Insurance and refit reserve are struck against the declining hull value.
Reduce if the yacht cruises or lies at anchor for part of the year.
Covers haul-out, paint, systems, and the periodic refit.
Fuel
Wildly variable — a planing hull at speed burns many times what it does at displacement speed.

Oceanco 90m Custom — common questions

- Excluding depreciation, roughly $16,043,275 per year — about 5.8% of the $275,000,000 purchase price, against the industry rule of thumb of 10%.

- Including depreciation, the Oceanco 90m Custom is modeled at about $27,685,950 per year over five years — roughly $2,307,163 per month. Depreciation alone accounts for 46% of that, which is why the purchase price is the smaller half of the decision.
- Is it cheaper to charter a Oceanco 90m Custom than own one?

Annual running costs exceed the entire purchase price of most boats on this site.
- How many crew does a Oceanco 90m Custom need?
