I won’t argue the numbers ... aviation fuels are more my thing.

The principle remains, though. Private yachts, private jets, burn a bunch of fuel. Everybody involved, all the way back to the iron ore miners, is glad to have the business.

Ok I did research

Marine diesel is 475 usd a ton spot on USGULF

most 70 meter plus motor yachts have 500,000 to 1,000,000 capacity fuel in liters

Gallon = 3.78 liters

Hence

If full tank made of empty

1000000/3,78=264,550

316 gallons marine diesel number 2 per ton

264550/316=837 tonnes of diesel number 2 at 474/ton

Equals 396,000 bucks

It is possible

That’s equatorial circumnavigation and then some range
