Most people looking at yachts ask one question:
“How many feet is she?”

Almost no one asks about the number that actually drives comfort, interior space, crew layout, regulations and running costs.

That number is Gross Tonnage – GT.

In this episode I dive into GT and explain:

• what Gross Tonnage (GT) really is
• why GT does NOT measure weight, but internal volume
• the basic idea behind the GT formula (GT = K × V)
• how two yachts with the same length can feel completely different inside
• how GT affects owner comfort, crew space and behaviour at sea
• what GT thresholds (around 200 GT, 500 GT) change in terms of regulations, safety and crew requirements
• why most yacht builders under 24 metres almost never show GT in their brochures
• and a fun detail: why Wally is one of the few brands that puts GT in the model name (wallywhy150, wallywhy200) instead of just feet

This is the first episode of my *“Yacht Tech Explained”* series, where I break down technical yacht concepts in plain language – so future owners truly understand what they’re buying and how to choose the right yacht for their lifestyle, not just “the longest one in the budget”.

If you’re thinking about buying a yacht, managing one, or you simply love yachting and want to understand more than the average brochure reader, this video is for you.
