Why not just buy a large boat, if you have $15MM to spend on a place to live? I liveaboard an (obviously) much smaller boat, and I love the life. Obviously life on my boat is very different vs a $15MM boat, but I think that life on this cruise ship would be quite similar to a $15MM ship of your choosing.
I guess the main thing is the networking aspect and having neighbors, but that doesn't seem like it'd be worth the premium.
Anyone else on HN a liveaboard, or interested in it? My email's in my profile.
- moltar 9y agoBut can you take said boat to Antarctica?
- owenversteeg 9y agoYes. http://www.bwsailing.com/bw/cruising-news/antarctica-on-our-own/ http://www.bwsailing.com/bw/cruising-news/antarctica-on-our-...
- tedunangst 9y agoDoes Shuji Nakamura give lectures on your boat?
- Thriptic 9y agoCognitive overhead. You have to deal with maintenance, logistics, staffing, planning, design etc yourself. Yes you get exactly what you want but it would likely be a bunch of work whereas this sounds fairly turnkey with everything planned out for you.
- owenversteeg 9y agoAt the higher levels apparently you pay $900k a year for annual maintenance fees. That could cover the full-time salaries of several people to do all those things for you.
