Rising Sun

Hi all,
Just wanted to share with you and all yacht lovers this pic.
Next bay from home I found this, the Rising Sun, one of the six biggest yachts in the world.
Is amazing how big it looks from a 12 meter boat!!!
Have a nice day!.

Several winters ago, my wife and kids did a yacht charter in the BVI's. One morning, we awoke to see her at anchor in North Sound, Virgin Gorda. We had heard Steve Martin was aboard. Not sure, but I somewhat recall hearing that they have 60 or more crew..

Nice info. If Gergen can not afford it, who the heck can?

No man, it needs one of the launchers on the back to release your restored vintage A6M Zero floatplane. For when you want to enjoy the hills of Monaco from your private little warbird.

I believe he would’ve, if it weren’t for one of them having a headache at the time.
No nautical activities that day…!

Would like to! But I saw when every boat getting closer to the yacht, a lot of crew started to appear around the perimeter.
There were always one or two beside the auxiliary boat.
I imagine such people must travel with security guards very well "prepared".
