There are yachts, and then there's this thing

Robert Alvarez spotted this behemoth (complete with its own helicopter, of course), wonders which one of us owns it. Scott Eisen, who spotted it anchored off Peddocks Island earlier today, reports it's the Vava II, owned by Kirsty Bertarelli, a little love token from her billionaire hubby Ernesto. It replaced the couple's previous yacht, which was only half as long.

It's the UHub floating
It's the UHub floating newsroom.
I hope it and it's helicopter ...
...go away soon.
There is already enough noise in the Harbor Islands thanks to the low flying planes out of Logan.
I bet you don't even hear the boat
I bet you don't even hear the boat. Some people gotta whine.
Heli
They are referring to the helicopter on the yacht, hence the subject being "I hope it and it's helicopter ...". Some people just gotta act superior...
Not sure the helicopter is flown while in Boston Harbor
I've never seen one flying from any of the boats I've seen with them. I suspect it might not be allowed so close to Logan.
Wow
I bet the asking price is still cheaper than a three decker in Southie.
According to the daily mail,
According to the daily mail, it was 100 million pounds, or $131,148,000. You could buy a 1-bedroom condo for what they spend to fill the gas tanks.
And don't forget the staff.
And don't forget the staff. Not the kind of boat you operate yourself (plus a chef, pilot, etc.)
And I bet
Some there will be some sucker to buy it.
Drug money
An inspiration for all the drug cartels.
That smaller yacht beside it
Is it someone else's smaller yacht or is it this yacht's lifeboat?
It's calving.
That's a baby yacht. Where's Elmer?
Always like to see
Always like to see billionaires recycling their cash back into the economy. It's certainly better than diving into a pile of gold coins, like Scrooge McDuck.
"Better"?
You've done both?
