Summary of "Яхта за 50 МЛН рублей — сделано в Калининграде!"

Overview

The video provides an in-depth review of steel yachts made in Kaliningrad using advanced Dutch technology and design by Jan Visser. It covers the entire yacht construction process, from steel sheet assembly to final outfitting, highlighting craftsmanship, technology transfer from the Netherlands, and customization options for clients.

Key Lifestyle & Ownership Tips

Steel displacement yachts offer durability and longevity, lasting 100-150 years with proper care.
These yachts tend to maintain or increase their value over time.
They are suitable for family use, featuring practical space utilization such as multiple cabins, a sauna, and ample storage.
Owning a yacht requires regular maintenance, which is more complex than maintaining a car but ultimately worthwhile.
For buyers, steel yachts represent a better investment compared to luxury cars like a Geländewagen.

Yacht Construction Highlights

Yachts range from 10 meters to about 12 meters (39 feet), with assembly times between 2 to 6 months depending on size and complexity.
Steel hulls are constructed from thick, bent ship steel sheets, featuring protective 20mm steel hills to prevent damage from grounding.
Finishing involves 2-3 months in paint booths, using imported special anti-fouling paint applied before launch.
Engines are specialized marine models imported from France (Nani Energy), as local engines are currently unsuitable.
The shipyard includes facilities for welding, painting, outfitting, interior design workshops, and furniture manufacturing using marine plywood.
Built from scratch with billions of rubles invested, the shipyard benefits from Dutch expertise and ongoing staff training.
The facility is also capable of building catamarans up to 12 meters in length.

Travel & Usage Notes

These yachts are expedition-class, capable of long voyages such as trips from Kaliningrad to Argentina or across Russia’s waterways.
Fuel efficiency is high compared to planing boats, with 5-ton fuel tanks and consumption around 10 liters per hour at cruising speed.
Maximum speeds are modest (8-11 knots), prioritizing comfort and quiet cruising without vibration.
Navigation systems include autopilot and modern controls; some yachts have removable metal structures to pass under low bridges common in Europe.
Owners often captain their own boats; vessels up to 20 meters may not require a professional captain.
Yachts can be used on rivers and coastal areas with appropriate radio notifications.
