Oh well.

I guess it's cool if it "floats his boat."

Ha Ha Ha! I am killing it today with the puns.

And don't forget it'll cost over a million dollars to fill it up.

This may be the biggest, but really just looks like an oversized 'normal' yacht. I'd would much prefer the Phillipe Starck designedA. Even the Wally 118 over this.

Friends of mine work aboard alot of the bigger ones. They'll go to port ( to say St Tropez ) and all go around the hottest clubs to hold positions/ tables at clubs incase the owner feels like partying. If not, they'll come back to ship.

Or some fly via private jet or car, arrive early and wait in the cafe's for their yachts to arrive ie Portofino or PortoCervo because yachts these size takes a longer time to arrive due to the slower cruising speed.

Wally is more of a pleasure yacht, this thing is "home" on the sea.

That would very rarely happen. If the owner arrives and the yacht isn't there, he's gonna be pissed.

Yeah. I don't know shit about yachts.

Maybe it was $200,000 a day. I don't know.

It was something shocking though.

I know but some arrive a bit early to lose time "shopping", have lunch and so on. Their car is parked with their luggage somewhere not far until their yacht arrives.

Or some might land their helicopter to go horseback riding or Polo, such as the likes in Saint-Tropez and PortoCervo.
