The new "toy" of TV presenter and possible 2018 presidential candidate Luciano Huck, a 120-foot yacht – about 40 meters – is budgeted at around R$ 30 million and was commissioned from a shipyard in Rio de Janeiro that has been accused for years of not paying labor rights to its employees; The "Bejoa," which is already in operation, "is approximately 40 meters long, has 4 floors, 4 suites, 2 kitchens and a gym." With this money to spend, Huck appealed to the highest court to avoid a R$ 40 compensation for environmental damage after installing a "mariculture" fence to protect his mansion in Angra from the public," notes Diário do Centro do Mundo.
247 - The new "toy" of TV presenter and possible presidential candidate in 2018, Luciano Huck, a 120-foot yacht – about 40 meters – is estimated to cost around R$ 30 million and was commissioned, according to an article by Kiko Nogueira in Diário do Centro do Mundo, from a shipyard in Rio de Janeiro belonging to businessman Roberto Luiz Martin, who has been accused for years of not paying labor rights to his approximately 120 employees.
According to DCM, an email sent by one of the workers involved in the yacht's construction indicates that the "Bejoa," which is already in operation, "is 120 feet (approximately 40 meters) long, has 4 decks, 4 suites, 2 kitchens, and a gym," and is "anchored at Marina do Bracuhy, in Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro."
"It's worth 30 million reais. With that kind of money to spend, Huck appealed to the highest court to avoid paying 40 reais in compensation for environmental damage after installing a "mariculture" fence to protect his mansion in Angra from the public," the text notes.
According to the report, in the email the shipyard employee reveals that "maintaining a vessel like this costs a fortune. The captain earns around R$ 10 per month. About three sailors for maneuvering add another R$ 3. Plus a chef and other perks. I heard about 3 nannies. The marina charges more than R$ 10. I estimate fuel consumption at a minimum of 200 liters per hour. Not to mention the toys: a boat with an inboard motor, jet ski, etc."
