Tom Cruise is/was apparently on Triple Seven off Cornwall and was seen leaving the vessel in Mevagissey. Not sure if the boat qualifies at only £38million though?

I saw Triple Seven at Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight a couple of weeks ago. It, err, stood out a bit

[FastAndy]

off Cornwall today I think it’s called Triple Seven and allegedly had Tom Cruise on board

Has there ever been a famous example of a yacht or ship built that ended-up unable to launch for some technical reason to do with the slipway?

Just ended-up stuck where it was?

Not sure whether it's "famous" but one of my client's 96m yachts was dropped down the slipway when it was being positioned to be launched, drifted across the canal and bounced off of the opposite bank - all in super slow motion. Even more awkward as the new owner was in the car on the way to yard to watch the launch in person. He arrived to find the boat already in the water and a lot of frantic Dutchmen scurrying around...

incredible, you'd have an insane amount of beautiful 'friends' if you owned that!

We were having a bite the other night and the little one of these two was parked up, then the bigger one came in, made us chuckle a bit, looks like a fair chunk of boat although there were bigger in the marina round the corner

Portofino?

This must be the large yacht owner's worst nightmare!

Possibly the most Daily Mail post I, or anyone, has ever made. But, it did amuse me.

A-Rod has just split from J Low who went back to Ben Affleck. All 3 are now on charter boats in the same area of the Med

A-Rod's boat,



J Low/Ben's boat

[LeroyLoser]

Could that be them parked next to each other?

Is JLO stalking him deliberately

It was the Mackinac race at the weekend with a few hundred sailing yachts racing from Chicago to the Island.

My wife called while on her run, and said I need to come down to see an amazing yacht - I was expecting maybe a beautiful Wally, J Class or maybe the ex-america's cup contender which I think is in one of the harbors.

Imagine my crushing disappointment to cycle all the way over to the marina to find this:

Biggest you’ll see around Chicago on a semi-regular basis are Rock.It (Jimmy John’s owner!) and Blue Moon. Impressive up close from the water, and around the $60m+ category, but they’re *nothing* compared to the standards of this thread!

Not sure if this qualifies for thread, however this hideous monstrosity has been moored up spoiling my view whilst I've been eating in one of my favourite restaurants at home in Kefalonia for the last couple weeks. I give you ANAWA. Stock photo as I couldn't bring myself to spoil my dinner any more...

Thanks. Eye watering....

Back to my Langoustine and Rosé to dream it is...

1.4m euros a week to charter. Hmm.

I suppose that’s a fair rate, they need to cover the cost of lost basketballs somehow…

Talking of aircraft carriers….M/Y NORD.
That’s a telescopic helicopter hanger behind the bridge.

Maybe I’m missing something but why do these boats appeal to rich people? Surely you could get the same service (staffed) and luxury surroundings in various mega expensive hotels? So what’s the point? Being a few hundred feet out of port / off a private beach doesn’t appeal to me, even swimming in the sea isn’t all that.
