Channel 5 documentary Secrets of the Luxury Super Yachts has officially aired, and as well as some stressfully luxurious visuals (including the Mediterranean Sea – what we wouldn’t give to see it), it offered some rather mind-boggling numbers.
For example, did you know the average price of a super yacht is £40 million ($52.4m)?
Small change, really.
The hour-long show climbed aboard a number of the world’s 5,000 or so privately-owned yachts.
To qualify, the yacht must measure over 80 feet.
Some featured in the show, however, were 72 metres – which is 22 metres longer than an Olympic swimming pool.
Inside, viewers saw an array of everyday possessions including a £20,000 jet ski, an inflatable water park, a self-playing grand piano and a work of art made from liquid bronze.
Travelling from Barcelona to Monaco, we also met some of the staff on-board (who, in some cases, outnumber the guest), including captains, cooks and mates.
Other bizarre sights included the world’s longest inflatable water slide, which we’re now obsessed with, and an actual submarine.
Oh how the other half live.
Secrets of the Luxury Super Yachts is repeated on Channel 5 on Thursday 27 August at 11.05pm.
