i am obsessed with yachts

this is the Apoise - it was made in Germany - it was the 59th largest yacht on a 2006 list

Quote:
The renowned yacht-maker, Lurssen has recently delivered this magnificent 67-meter Apoise yacht designed by Espen Oeino. The luxury yacht features a 12.8-meter beam, and boasts extraordinary volumes for a yacht of her length. It features six decks, four spacious cabins for guests with king size beds on the lower deck, while the main deck features enormous owners suite, which totals an area in excess of 130 square meters. The main deck features main salon with dining area and the yacht includes an impressive round glass elevator to transport you from lobby to other deck areas. The yacht also features a VIP cabin on the starboard side, full beam salon, dining area, large outdoor sunbathing and seating areas on the main and upper deck, large pool with integrated bar, huge bar/gym and a very large Jacuzzi fitted on the upper deck. The classic interiors of the yacht are designed by Francois Zuretti and the yacht will reach a top speed of 16 knots and has a range of 5,000 nm.

jimmys isn't even in the top 100 - his is only 35 m compare to this one at 67 m.

plus his yacht is pretty old and not as techno as these

this yacht hits all the spots - there are pics of it in the caribbean, monaco etc.

a lot of hollywood people and americans heading up on a cruise to Alaska

Hey SpongeG, I saw a most beautiful yacht in the Marinaside harbor (end of Davie St. in False Creek) about a month ago. I believe the name of the yacht was Kiss or Kisses. Did you get a chance to see it and do you know anything about it? I used to live in the Palm Beach area, and do not believe that I ever saw a prettier yacht on the water. Bigger yes, prettier, no.

the above yacht...

Northern Marine of Anacortes, Washington, made final
preparations last fall to launch its first 151-foot (46-meter)
tri-deck motor yacht. The yacht, called After Eight, was moved
in December from the company’s main building facility across
the small town for fairing, paint and interior fit-out in anticipation
of a February launch. The company reported that
the yacht could be seen from most of the town. She has five
staterooms including a main-deck master, elevator access to
all levels and crew quarters for 12.
The builder says her twin
Caterpillar 3512B diesels will give her a top speed of 22 knots
and a 20-knot cruise.
