The yacht

Length drives dockage; value drives insurance and refit reserve.

How long you keep her

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

How much does it cost to run a Oceanco 90m Custom per year?
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%. That breaks down as approximately $2,964,000 crew, $389,400 dockage, $2,377,375 insurance, $10,010,000 maintenance and refit reserve, and $302,500 fuel at 250 engine hours.
What is the true cost of owning a Oceanco 90m Custom?
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?
At 6 weeks aboard per year, chartering is substantially cheaper. A comparable charter runs about $1,704,000 per week including APA and extras, so 6 weeks costs roughly $10,224,000 against $27,685,950 to own. Ownership only wins beyond about 17 weeks aboard per year.
How much does a Oceanco 90m Custom depreciate?
The Oceanco 90m Custom is modeled to retain about 83% of its value after three years and 77% after five — a loss of roughly $63,250,000 over the five-year hold. At this size the yacht is a business: thirty crew, class certification, flag compliance, and a shore-based management company. Annual running costs exceed the entire purchase price of most boats on this site.
How many crew does a Oceanco 90m Custom need?
Approximately 30 full-time crew. At an average salary of $76,000 plus payroll taxes, insurance, training, and provisioning, that is about $2,964,000 per year — 18% of the total running cost.
