Pelorus - sixteenth largest luxury yacht - 377 feet 3 inches - Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich - second helicopter pad - two 5,500-hp Wärtsilä 12v 26 engines - garage full of 'toys', including jet skis and wave runners - A full time crew of up to 46 people lives aboard all year long

I'm afraid that pushes your yacht down to 17th, Motorvator!!

I'm a damn site further down the list than that I can tell you. In fact I don't think I make a list at all.

See that tender on the deck of Le Grand Bleu? That's a Sunseeker nearly half as long again as mine.

Anyway, you had a granny die this afternoon or something? I thought you were looking at a another Freeman. That thing above won't do very well around the Fens you know.

With that much power I can make my own rivers!!

I recall seeing a little yacht in Monaco Harbour that had a Sunseeker tender...seemed a little ostentatious to me...although we had just arrived by Helicopter!

I see the plan. In which case may I advise you on tenders.

How do they launch the sun seeker tender?

Do they have a cradle for it or is it a modified one with lifting points?

I'm told they don't refer to it as a tender rather 'chase boat' so that the crew can get ahead to sort berthing, customs etc. If you want to run around it has a pair of Buzzi 38' below decks.

Looks like modified lift points to me.

I think if I had a Predator 68 I'd use it as my main boat.



And I'd probably keep a laser dinghy on deck for the occasional sail rather than a 70' Ed Dupois.



In fact I'm willing to bet they are at least a dozen toys on there that most of us would give a right arm for.

If he got there it's a fairly safe bet he'd have a number of famous bridges wrapped around that radar arch too.

The toy cupboard is just f-ing barking mad isn't it.

Going to a boat show with one of these guys must be a right laugh.

I did some work indirectly for the Brunei Royal Family in the '90s (the days when the kids would ship in Elton John for a birthday party) and pondered what it must be like to have such wealth. The answer, I concluded, is that everything is effectively free - you can have whatever you want.

What do you f***ing think?



I've spent the last week or so tooling in and out of Nice and the number of big yachts bobbing around off the coast was, well. A lot.
