- barking 7y agoThe potential market for this boat numbers under 1000 people or maybe even under 100 I'd say.
- Aeolun 7y agoSome of them may be on HN though?
- barking 7y agoThere's a thought, there's a lot of thoughts, actually!
- trenning 7y agoFrom the listing companies website, > this yacht is not available for sale to US residents in US waters I suppose that number is quite small. However I bet this would be a nice addition to some wealthy drug lord, I mean I comes with 2 subs. I wonder if they take cash
- weinzierl 7y agoA while ago there was a thread about an article that claimed that more people than you think can afford to buy a Superyacht but less people than you think an afford to maintain one. The article called those groups "LeBron James rich" and "Abramovich rich" if I remember correctly. The article claimed that this was the reason that most Superyachts are "playboys luxury pads" (as another commenter called it) where most passenger pay in some form or other be allowed to be on the yacht.
- vetinari 7y ago> more people than you think can afford to buy a Superyacht but less people than you think an afford to maintain one. Well, the joke goes: A yacht will bring joy to the owner twice: first time when bought, second time when sold.
- mayamatrix 7y agoYes. And "a boat is just a hole in the water to pour money into".
- nradov 7y agoIf you pay cash today they'd probably accept a lower offer. At least that's been my experience buying stuff on Craigslist.
