This it for real (155 ft.):

Have you heard about "FreedomShip"?

What a silly design. Its like they put a garden on the deck of an oil tanker. Lots of wasted space. Plus the pool looks dangerous if the ship was caught in a storm at sea.

Now Paul Allens yacht, the Octopus. Thats a yacht.

One hundred million? Small potatoes...

Feast your eyes on this...

Avas ye hardies!!!

Most of the outdoor plants will look like hell after a couple of days cruising into a headwind

[AFreeBird]

Saw that anchored in port down in Grand Cayman a few years ago.

Glad to see all that money we've been sending to Microsoft has been put to good use, like a lean mean, secure OS.

This yacht's named "Vista":

WallyIsland? That name sucks.

Oh man, Don't give Obama any ideas about what to do with the Navy
should he win the election.

[Slings and Arrows]

ROTFLMAO!

[RandallFlagg]

Just as long as everyone remembers.
Ships like this wouldn't exist if it weren't for ships like these:

Watch out for icebergs.

[MaxMax]

Wow, looks like it even comes with pool girls

[Cold Heat]

Best OS I have ever used.....

It's great....Love it and would not trade Vista for anything.

Never mind Tiger's yacht. There's an email floating around the country with photos of his home. It's an incredible palace done in contemporary architecture, overlooking the Pacific (?) and just totally unbelievable to look at.

If it makes you feel any better, the arabs got jealous, and the leader of Dubai just received one bigger than Paul Allen's. At 524ft,the Golden Star is over 100 feet longer than Octopus and now the biggest in the world. But its not considered the biggest personal owned because its for a head of state.

The biggest yacht in the world owned by non head of state is the Al Salamah, owned by a prince of Saudi Arabia, pictured here.

Is that a Silverton 390? Nice!

[Nateman]

like a lean mean, secure OS.

The amazing truth is you can get that for free.

WallyIsland? That name sucks.

How long will take the crew members, if any are Americans, to start calling it Wally World?

Shoot, I've already started too, and I aint even seen the boat yet.

Boats "Yachts" like that, and most all of the pretentious smaller ones too, are near worthless in my eyes.

Just look at 'em. No place to put or carry cargo, or put the net reel and/or other actually useful fishing gear. Just a bunch of fancy fiberglass or steel so rich folks can float around and think themselves nautical. But as a good, useful, logical, productive boat? Worthless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
