Hoooooooooooly shite.

Is that a Lurssen build? Looks like a Lurssen. I have 0 to add to this thread other than translating my jealousy into typed word.

ETA: I already answered my own question. For some reason, I follow a lot of superyacht instagram feeds and am slowly honing my yacht spotting skills. That's a nice boat, y'all enjoy.

What does your friend do? I have no idea how much that Would cost. I'm going to guess 10 million. After a little research, which you can't really find 200' foot yachts for sale online, but it could be more like 25 to 50 million

That looks and sounds amazing. I would think the crew would have a dang good idea on what you should do no? Not to mention your friends?

Sounds awesome. I don't know the laws at all for BVI, but I believe there are quite a few caribbean islands that don't allow foreigners to harvest fish and what not without being with a native guide? I doubt you'd get caught for a couple lobster, and I'm sure the crew will know.

Try $60 mil. Lurssen is a very reputable builder. Pretty sure they are the builders of the two largest privately owned yachts in the world (Azzam and Dilbar). The one OP posted is available to charter for $550,000/week

OK. We are flying in, and don't believe we are going to hit either of those, but Cat was our second choice, I sort of wished it was were we were headed.

I just realized I never Updated this thread.

after Palm Beach and the Breakers, we chilled at our friends' house. Woke up, hopped in the Maserati and on to the FBO. We were greeted by the Falcon.





not too bad a ride, eh?

Cool pic from the plane flying over Bahamas:



We arrived in St. Marten and took the tender back to the yacht. As soon as we arrived, we sailed on to St. Barth's. Stuck the kids with the crew and partied at Nikki Beach. pooped a lot of Dom, dancing, etc. Maybe too much Dom. Our bill was $3000 Euros and we had such a good time, we barely took photos.



we went back to the boat for dinner and sailed on to Virgin Gorda. we anchored up in Gorda Sound and tendered over to the Baths.









Water was gorgeous and so are my girls:



the rest was a blur as I got sick and tried to drink my way through a head cold. i'll just post pics













the crew set up dinner on the beach for us one day



Breakfast every day





all in all a great trip. I liked Peter Island the most. I wish I hadn't been sick as I was tired and couldn't dive or snorkel.

Looks like it was fantastic!

I'm h adding home from Isla Mujeres today and I also caught a terrible cold and couldn't snorkel or dive so I feel your pain there. It's been a great trip but I was limited in what I could do.
