Boat in TopGear America special?

[CrazyRussian540]

Does anyone know what boat this is.
It was in the Top Gear episode where they go to Miami

[nist7]

This is the boat of a very wealthy person.

[Adunaphel]

It's a boat that floats.

[TomCat]

Actually, I think it just might be a floating yaught.

[Mopar Man]

It's the boat of someone that has more money than god.

[watto]

Could be owned by a drug lord, porn star, sports star, business-person... Just someone very very wealthy.

[Blythy]

if there's a blonde guy hanging off the side it's kimi visiting JPM.

[chimi]

You're better off with a Wally
You won't look like a drug lord

I've spent quite a bit of time on the water and I watch those Travel Channel specials about Mega Yachts, and I've never seen anything like it. My guess is that it's a one-off custom that was designed and built just for the owner.

[ryosuke]

i thought most yachts of that scale were one-offs?

[zenkidori]

not really, AFAIK you can get custom everything, but the hull or chassis or whatever is more or less the same, but you can pick and rearrange what goes on and where.

yeah thats exactly how it works. though you may not have as much say as to how the decks are laid out interms of where rooms are you basically get to furnish it however you want.

[Blind_Io]

That's not always true. Most boats ordered from the factory are like that, but there are some boatyards that specialize in keel-up one-off designs. These boats are the new status symbol as mega yachts are becoming more and more popular. Other billionaires with a sense of adventure are buying and refurbishing commercial fishing vessels, converting them in to luxury yachts. The utility of the designs combined with the heavy construction means they can carry plenty of toys, like smaller boats, kayaks, surfboards, wave runners, etc. - they can also handle rougher seas and head farther north than the more lightly built "consumer" grade yachts.

I don't know much about boats, but it looks a bit like a sun seeker.

[vanMould]

Nice boat

[Vash]

I'll find out by friday for you.

[Austere]

Hmm, it looks a lot like the boat that my friend Colonel Juan Garcia Cortez used to escape from the authorities back in 1986 when I was coke baron living in Miami...

No. Wait. I'm confusing video games with reality again.

nvm.
