Buying a Superyacht

Benetti Yachts, Porto Mediceo, LivornoProbably these boats don't qualify for the term “superyacht” because they are only in the 30 meters range, but someone is actually asking the price... The grey crane behind the boats is the 72 meters high sheerleg “Italia”, its arm has a lifting capacity of 1000 tons.

    Hmmm, I'm too much of a sailing boat fan...

    I have worked one a superyacht for half a year as a chef, it was a great experience, awfull as well, I did not appear to be a 'water rat'. However a image like this one brings back a lot of memories...

    You are looking more and more like Ft. Lauderdale every day.

    One of those yachts can probably buy an entire island here! Such beauties! But I'm more fascinated by the crane! :)

    Perhaps they do not qualify as “superyachts” but I wouldn't mind one :P

    Can't imagine how people can afford these things...not just the original price but the upkeep.

    Great photo, Vogon Poet...it almost looks like they're in motion, heading right toward us.
