Fist time I see this. Pretty damn cool if you ask me. And yes, I'm jealous I don't have a 120 footer.
Anybody want to go down to Larose? Bring your checkbook.

That's pretty much what they used to bring the USS Cole back from Yemen.

A boat for boats... genius

Maybe they can make these out of all those useless work boats along the la coast these days

I'm sure that the OT ballers already know lots about this service.

We've used Dockwise to ship everything from small crew boats to large hopper barges and river line boats to South Ameica and Nigeria. Pretty cool to watch one of these loaded down heading down river.

This is the poor man's yacht service. Having to ferry with other yachts? Please
Real ballers have their crews pilot the yacht to its destination

It's cheaper to use the ferry service. Crews stay onboard and do maintenance and less wear and tear on your boat.
Watching them loaf those yachts on there is very cool to see.

Yep, I use their service all the time.

What about a ship to transport the ships that transport the yachts?

Ships that served as floating drydocks/ferries have been around since WWII
Bringing my submarine into drydock and watching it get lifted out of the water was surreal.

I have an uncle who has a business dealing with a lot of local boat companies. He is friends with of the owners of the companies who invited him to use his boats on weekend while they were in Grand Isle. Unbelievable is all I have to say. His boat was a 62' sportfisher (I believe.... actually forget who made it as I couldn't make the actual fishing trip) with full crew. What was impressive was the "chase" boat. A bad arse house boat whose interior was wayyy nicer than my house. Had crew quarters in the back wing. Had his own chef that stayed on the house boat. 26' Regulator that stayed on top the house boat to use as a scouting boat. Basically this guy just continuously moved his "chase boat/house boat" around the world to the best fishing destinations, slept on it and used it to fuel his 62' sportfisher, then ran his "fast" boat to go fishing. Talk about living the life. Every once in a while, I feel like I have made it and am living rather comfortably (for a middle class guy), then I think of those people and realize I'm a peon compared.

This is more than likely the setup you are thinking of. The madam spends a lot of her time in Grand Isle, and the hooker mainly fishes out of Hawaii now, but comes to the GOM during a couple of the summer months.
