I hate boats, even on a calm day in a lake which is only about 2 m deep I’m constantly convinced the damn thing is going to sink.
Do people actually like being on boats, it’s basically like being in a cramped apartment that is really inconvenient to get to and from, that constantly experiences a never-ending earthquake, why is that anyone’s idea of a good time?
Also I really hope somebody has tested that submarine extensively.
I dunno about every other country, but age of consent legally applies to US citizens while abroad. I’m sure it’s easier to get away with, but it doesn’t make one immune to the law.
It’s the new fancy castles.
The most you can get detached from the pleb.
If you wanted a huge luxury castle you needed the resources of maybe hundreds of villages and a staff of hundreds just for regular upkeep (you had to make all the products needed locally, from cleaning supplies to masonry, etc).
But today building a home for 1bn (that’s basically a limit of sorts, -ish) that can run on a staff of 10 ppl is hitting the limit of usability.
With mega/superyachts (ie luxury ships) it’s a more exclusive game, this dude didn’t just spend half a billon on a “smaller” object (that took 2000 people 4 years to build), it will also cost him 50~100 million in yearly upkeep (+maybe that sum every like 3~10 years for refurnishing, bcs why not, it’s the standard).
And this isn’t counting the usual support megayacht that will probably accompany the superyacht at all times (for extra staff, equipment, quests, maybe area accessibility in some cases).
As a NOT millionaire (technically I am homeless though in far better shape than some) boats are enjoyable and even fun. Paddle boats, row boats (my favorite), canoes, small and medium powered craft can all be a blast. I’ve never been on a yacht and wouldn’t choose to the same as never having chosen to be on a regular tourist cruise or in a casino except for work. I don’t like people that much.
That cramped cabin and constant earthquake is only on a ship really. Even choppy seas aren’t too bad.
It sounds like you mostly hate water, which I understand. My gf is the same.
Do you use swimming pools and if so, do you avoid the deep end?
For me, I grew up around water, lakes and beaches, and my grandfather was in the coast guard auxiliary and had a cabin cruiser. Even a good summer weekend involves climbing into an inner tube and floating down a river all day.
I love boats. I don’t own one unfortunately, but I’ve never had a bad time on a boat, they’re awesome and fun even if you’re not going out fishing.
I’ve never been on a super yacht before, but I imagine it’d be like a cruise ship without other guests, just your family/friends and employees. I think I’d rather take a cheap cruise tbh.
Privacy and Security. You’re out there where no paparazzi can take bikini pictures of you. It’s easy to secure so that nobody can kidnap you. And take a look at the interior of those Yachts, they are not cramped. Look at this thing:
It’s bigger than your home. It has its own helipad. It is 111m long.
convince people of what, reasons why some people like yachts?
this isn’t fucking reddit, use your fucking head and recognize the difference between trying to argue a position yourself and suggesting reasoning for other people
At this point Gabe has a fleet of yachts and a large knife collections.
I’ve never heard anything about Gabe in connection with cars or large houses. Just knives and yachts. So I guess in the case if this guy he actually really likes yachts.
What is it with millionaires and yachts?

If you are rich enough, you get away with anything.

Did you think that photo was going to convince people here?
