    How much could Yacht Buoy potentially make from channel memberships?

    We found no public sign that Yacht Buoy has the Join button switched on, so the figures below are what memberships could be worth if they were enabled, not money being earned today. What we can do is model it. The sum is simple: estimated paying members × average membership price, less the 30% YouTube keeps on every membership payment.

    This is the Join button, sitting next to Subscribe on Yacht Buoy's channel page. When a viewer clicks it they pick a monthly tier and pay through YouTube. That recurring payment is the membership revenue modelled below.

    Membership earnings per year$17,570$35,140$66,728

    The working, step by step

    1. Start with a Lifestyle benchmark conversion of 0.30% of subscribers paying for a membership.
    2. Adjust for audience size: at 137.0K subscribers we apply a 1.15× factor, because very large audiences contain far more passive viewers.
    3. Adjust for loyalty: 357.4K monthly views against that subscriber base gives a 1.15× factor.
    4. That lands on an expected 0.40% conversion, or about 544 paying members. The low case halves it, the high case is roughly double, covering the spread seen across real channels.
    5. Price each member at the blended $7.69 average across a standard tier ladder: $4.99 (70% of members), $9.99 (22% of members), $24.99 (8% of members).
    6. Multiply members by price, then take off YouTube's 30% cut to get what Yacht Buoy actually keeps: $2,928 a month in the mid case, or $35,140 a year.

    Until Yacht Buoy switches the Join button on, membership income is zero regardless of the numbers above. Channels that run members-only videos, Discord perks or loyalty badges usually sit at the high end, while channels that enable memberships and never mention them sit below the low case. These are planning estimates from public data, not disclosed earnings, and not financial advice.

    Yacht Buoy YouTube earnings, income and channel analysis: the full guide

    How much does Yacht Buoy make on YouTube per month?

    To answer how much does Yacht Buoy make, Branzly runs the channel's estimated 357.4K monthly views through the same ad revenue calculator used across the site: a Lifestyle / Vlogs RPM of $1.4-$4.1 from 2026 niche benchmarks, with the headline figure taken at the middle of that range ($2.8), the same RPM used in the home page calculator. That puts Yacht Buoy YouTube ad revenue at roughly $500 to $1,465 per month, or $6,004 to $17,584 per year from AdSense alone.

    RPM is what the channel actually keeps per 1,000 views after YouTube's 45% revenue share, unfilled ad inventory and ad blockers, which is why these Yacht Buoy earnings figures sit far below the advertiser-side CPM quotes you may see elsewhere. Views from Tier 1 countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia pay the most, while Shorts views pay a fraction of long-form RPM.

    How much does Yacht Buoy charge for a sponsorship?

    On top of ad revenue, we assume one integrated-mention sponsorship per month priced on 60.4K average views per video at a Lifestyle cost-per-view rate of $0.01 with a 1× niche multiplier — the identical model in our sponsorship calculator. That suggests a Yacht Buoy sponsored video is worth about $659 to $1,318, with a fair midpoint near $942.

    Sponsorship pricing follows views and engagement, not subscriber count, so a large channel with a quiet video is still only paid for the views that video earns. Brands asking "how much does it cost to sponsor Yacht Buoy?" should expect dedicated videos to cost two to three times an integrated mention.

    Yacht Buoy brand deals and channel partner retainers

    Channel-level deals work differently again. A retainer is an ongoing fee for a set of deliverables each month, not the sum of every slot the channel could sell, so pricing follows published size bands. With 137.0K subscribers, Yacht Buoy sits in the Mid-tier (100K-500K subs) band, where retainers typically run $4,000 to $15,000 a month. Niche demand, engagement, cadence across 6 uploads a month and how much of the audience watches each upload decide where in that band a deal lands. Spread back across uploads, that adds about $1,763 of value to each video.

    Yacht Buoy net worth and yearly YouTube income

    Put simply, Yacht Buoy YouTube earnings are estimated at roughly $8,566 to $17,596 per month when ad revenue, one sponsored integrated mention and a retainer are combined, or about $102.8K to $211.2K per year. Channels that publish more sponsored videos, sell merchandise or courses, run memberships, or earn affiliate commissions typically make more than this range.

    Net worth estimates for YouTubers like Yacht Buoy usually start from several years of this yearly income, minus taxes, team costs and production spend. Treat any Yacht Buoy net worth figure as a planning range, not a disclosed number.

    Who is Yacht Buoy on YouTube?

    Yacht Buoy (@yachtbuoy) is a lifestyle YouTube channel that has published 752 videos and accumulated 45,389,485 lifetime views from an audience of 137,000 subscribers. The channel was created in April 2016, which makes it roughly 10 years and 7 months old, and it continues to publish content for viewers interested in lifestyle topics. In the creator's own words: "I spent 6 years at sea with the Royal Navy (two frigates and an aircraft carrier) travelling the world and developing an obsession with serious vessels built to go anywhere. Before that, I was the kid with his nose in Boat International, daydreaming about life on the water. That obsession never left. I also spent nearly two years as a volunteer coastal crew member at one of the busiest RNLI stati" Branzly analyses Yacht Buoy using public YouTube data so creators, brands and media buyers can understand the channel's size, output and likely earning power before they reach out, benchmark against it, or plan a collaboration.

    How long has Yacht Buoy been active?

    Yacht Buoy has been on YouTube for approximately 10 years and 7 months, starting in April 2016. Across that period the channel has averaged around 75 uploads per year, which gives a useful signal about publishing consistency: channels that maintain a steady cadence typically build stronger session watch time and more predictable sponsorship inventory than channels that upload in bursts. Longevity also matters for advertisers, because an established back catalogue keeps generating views long after each video's launch week. With 752 videos in the library, Yacht Buoy earns a meaningful share of its monthly views from older content rather than from new uploads alone, and that evergreen tail is one reason estimated revenue for lifestyle channels can stay stable between releases.

    Yacht Buoy subscriber count and audience size

    Yacht Buoy currently has 137,000 subscribers, a figure that places the channel in the established mid-tier tier of YouTube creators. Total channel views stand at 45,389,485, and average views per video sit at approximately 60,358. The ratio of lifetime views to subscribers is about 331.3 views for every subscriber, which indicates a strong reach beyond the subscribed audience, typically driven by search, suggested video placements or Shorts distribution. Branzly estimates recent activity at roughly 357,396 views per month based on the channel's most recent uploads and publishing history, which is the number our ad revenue calculator uses to model earnings.

    Most viewed videos and Shorts on Yacht Buoy

    The most-watched long-form video currently visible for Yacht Buoy is "€595,000 STEEL Explorer Yacht Built to Handle Gale-Force Seas (Aquanaut Global Voyager 1500)" with 113,625 views. On the Shorts side, "A 2024 steel-hulled explorer that packs zero-speed stabilisation and a 2,000-nautical-mile range." leads with 20,357 views. Top-performing titles are worth studying because they reveal which hooks, formats and topics the algorithm rewards for this audience. For brands, they also show the realistic ceiling of a sponsored placement: a dedicated integration on a channel of this size will usually land somewhere between the average video performance of 60,358 views and the outliers shown above.

    Estimated Yacht Buoy YouTube earnings

    Based on an estimated 357,396 monthly views and typical lifestyle CPM ranges, Yacht Buoy could earn roughly $500 to $1,465 per month from YouTube ad revenue, or approximately $6,004 to $17,583 per year. These figures reflect the AdSense share only. Most channels of this size also earn from brand sponsorships, affiliate links, memberships, merchandise and product sales, so total creator income is commonly several times the advertising estimate. Sponsorship value is usually priced per view rather than per thousand impressions, and lifestyle audiences typically command mid-range rates because of advertiser demand in that vertical.

    What niche and category is Yacht Buoy in?

    Branzly classifies Yacht Buoy under the Lifestyle category using the channel's description, keywords, topic signals and the language of its best-performing uploads. Category matters more than raw subscriber count when estimating revenue: a lifestyle channel attracts a specific set of advertisers, and CPMs vary widely between verticals such as finance, software, education, gaming and entertainment. Public channel keywords include superyacht, superyachts, explorer yachts, explorer superyacht, nordhavn, yachts, boats, boat review, which supports this classification. Use the Branzly ad revenue, sponsorship and financial freedom calculators to model how a channel like Yacht Buoy converts views into monthly income, sponsorship pricing and long-term wealth.

    How these numbers are produced

    Every figure on this page comes from the public YouTube Data API, refreshed each time Yacht Buoy is searched on Branzly. Subscriber counts, view counts and video counts are reported directly by YouTube. Monthly views are an estimate: YouTube does not publish per-month analytics for channels you do not own, so Branzly reconstructs recent performance from the views of the channel's latest uploads, falling back to lifetime views divided by channel age when recent data is sparse. Revenue ranges are modelled estimates, not disclosed earnings, and actual payouts depend on monetisation status, watch time, ad formats, seasonality, audience geography and YouTube's revenue share. Nothing on this page is financial advice, and Branzly is not affiliated with or endorsed by Yacht Buoy or YouTube.

    Lifestyle YouTube RPM and CPM explained

    Lifestyle channels like Yacht Buoy sit in the Lifestyle / Vlogs RPM bracket. Advertisers pay more for audiences that buy — finance, business and tech pay the highest rates, while entertainment, gaming and music rely on huge view volume. Seasonality matters too: Q4 ad rates commonly run 30–50% higher than January.
