Well, I much prefer the more classic look of one of Mr. Abramovick other ships, the "Eclipse", build a few years ago at Blohm+Voss in Hamburg.

I bet you can pick up the unfashionable older one for cheap. That allows you enough spare cash to hire the dozens of crew to make sure it's parked in the right places for you.

Reminds me of a Mississippi River townoat.

Most Russian oligarchs are too busy making money and partying to bother with anything as trivial as world domination

Why is the yacht named after a dying Unix operating system?

I was going to get one, but the shed they built on top of it spoils the lines.

Daily I used to drive past Rupert Murdoch's yacht parked in Manhattan.
IIRC his had a heli-pad...

You have to have the helipad. Otherwise it takes too long to swap out the supermodels for fresh ones.

Will it be nicely stable when you put it on its side?

Q: Why is it pronounced pe-CAHN, as in pecan pie?

A: Because a PEE-can is what you use when you're out on the boat!

Tess couldn't follow you when you go canoeing up a stream. But the accomm would have been good for your fellow campers!!

Nah... it's down to you for not ordering early enough.

You've known the "Luverly Tess's" birth date for a while now, so not exactly a surprise for you.

It's just plain ugly to me. Now HMY Brittania ... that's what you call a super yacht. Pity the country can't afford it any longer.
