Ok so I figured out.. It's Greg Normans yacht.

On board is:
42ft Game fisher
30ft Seavee
4 wave runners
22 ft dive boat
And a 13 ft rescue boat


Also has a decompression chamber

The first expedition type yachts were built here in Louisiana in Morgan City. They took a offshore supply vessel and fancied it up.

Normally you can build in the 100ft range or like 10-15 million, then it cost another 5-10 plus to decorate it (I have seen a $5 mil Picasso on a boat). Add in the "toys" and it's probably another $5mil. I saw a $1 mil sub when I was a kid get loaded on.

New you would sell a similar boat for like $25-30 mil and most high value interior decorations and toys would get taken off.

My dad used to work for a company that built them. Their #1 client for a while made a small fortune building the boats and then selling them to his super wealthy friends. I met that guy a few times and would sit in there like a fly on the wall just listening.

The more I looked at that photo I just thought it had to be 200 plus, then I clicked the link and yep.

I spent 10 days on one in the FWI when I was 14.

What I would do to go back at 27 and wreck shop on the pussy I could've pulled on that thing.

fricking hindsight, and age...

shite, now that I'm married and have a child I get open invites to go stay with friends on theirs in some swanky places.

The issue is I have to work and my friends don't anymore since most are retired. Would be nice though.
