I like how analogous it is to space travel. You're captain of a ship, a small scale version of the Enterprise, and you can use it as a staging platform for travelling around the world. While I would prefer a smaller craft, where something like a Swan 78 would be sufficient for any of my own conceivable needs, if I had a 127m yacht, I would probably equip it with some lab space for use based on research proposals, anywhere from ocenographic studies to astronomy and VLF signals research. Some acquaintences have spent time as a writer in residence or musician in residence in various places in the world where they spend time working on their next project, and I would probably use a craft like this to offer similar residencies, as I think offering extraordinary experiences to extraordinary people so that they can use them in their contributions to humanity is a very effective way to apply wealth. The thing is going to be empty most of the time anyway, and they're better when the owner isn't around the whole time where you feel like you have to entertain as well. While I have not done a yacht delivery, they typically take a few weeks all-in, with different crew for each leg. Moving this 127m thing around all the time will create a lot of opportunities to join it for a few days to several weeks on delivery legs, so you'd be able to offer a few different residencies each year, and this thing has enough space where you could really get some frission with multiple residencies going on. Maybe I need a superyacht.
