...currently sat burning my skin in Portugal. In the harbour is a massive dark blue luxury boat/yacht moored up. Probably the most impressive one there. Parked up next to it is a fleet of matching coloured cars. There's currently two 911s, hummer (off day?), two lambos, mclaren mp-thingy, Ferrari FF and 458 and a rolls Royce. All in the same matt dark blue colour (presumably wraps rather than paint).

The boat is called 'Brutus' and its from London. I've done a Google search but I've no idea what to search for being a mere pauper and unaware if these things are registered in the public domain.

My guess it's a cooperate thing hired out with matching toys rather than one rather rich person.

The best I came up with is afashion firm called Brutus that does jeans.

Anyone care to suggest what to google or if they know it?

Like I said, odd question and I'm just being a nosey git... But it's a hell of a car collection with matching dingy.

With everything sounding jean coloured it could be promotion / advertising by the company or the rich owner of the brand perhaps.
That's the best guess I've come up with but I couldn't tell from the website if it was a big enough brand to warrant over million quids worth of cars and a massive boat/yacht/ship. (When does a boat stop being a boat and become a ship?)

I'm currently sat on the sun deck of Brutus, give me a wave!
I'll buy you a beer if you can throw me a set of the keys to one of the cars... Except the hummer. hehe

Download the shipfinder or marine traffic app to your phone and it should give you the full details.

I've searched for 'brutus' and it just brings up a few tankers. What area of portugal is it and i'll have a look for you.
Brill. Thanks smile

Vilamoura marina. Parked outside the tivoli hotel.

Sunseeker Demo boat and 'loan' cars to tempt new customers?

They've only just opened a location in Portugal.
This sounds about right after seeing the photos.

They do this at my marina twice a year, we've had Aston Martin and Porsche this year.

It seems to happen in most marinas/open days.
That solves that one. Many thanks!!

Staying opposite and have admired it the last couple of days. A stunning number. Only option would be the awning and seat pads that I'd have in white.
I'm going back again in August... I'm looking forward to see what cars rock up this time! smile

Hope you're enjoying yourself!

Oh must be! Some nice machinery around! Need to get some pictures.

See they have a Bentayga outside the Sunseeker showroom, not convinced!
There's a few knocking around this side of the marina. There's also a convertible Bentley and I'm really not a fan of the design. I used to be. But the latest stuff just looks a bit plain.

Yeah that Bentley hasn't moved from in front of my hotel since I got here, nice DB9 keeps reappearing. Red Ferrari as well, maybe F430 although not 100%
Tivoli?

Haha just had a read, nope not us. Phew :-p

I know exactly what you mean though. The thing that's getting me right now is the fowl language being used around kids, my wee guy has just turned 2 and picks up every word just now.

Really enjoying our stay though.
Got an 8 and 11 year old. We've trained them to say very loudly and in an overly dramatic voice 'that man just swore!'

Tends to shut the offender up. hehe
