Screwed up the title. It should have been:

The $83 million Skyacht One private jet is basically a luxurious superyacht that can fly

[MarchonDC09122009]

Ideal for master of the universe hedgefund banker bass turds to fly away in splendid luxury to paradise hideaways, far from the places they wreck havoc.

RE: $80 Million dollar “SkyYacht”.

Nice, for those who prefer a nautical style.
I opted for cool contemporary with a distinctly Asian flair.
See you all at the private tarmac event next week!

I thought we were supposed to hate people who were successful and rich.

[Sidebar Moderator]

I own one! Jet and a yacht. Sidebarring has its perks. ;)

[onedoug]

I wouldn’t try landing it on water though.

[philetus]

30 million extra and you only get “fake Stingray skin tabletops”?

[Yo-Yo]

Only $83 million? Bah, just another flying McMansion.

This is a flying yacht, a Boeing 747:

A cool toy, but my house has double the cubit feet for less than $300,000, and comes with a 1000 square foot wood shop, a yard, lots of love and no house payment. Absolutely content.

[TalonDJ]

80 mil? Chum change compared the cost of to some private 747s out there.

[varyouga]

Getting so tired of this nonsense BS marketing. I guess it’s for the idiot rich that only read names/headlines.

IF it could land on water and pull into any harbor, THEN you’d have something very interesting, Be able to travel to places without using airports and emergency land anywhere.

Otherwise this is just a luxury jet

[Moonman62]

I think Trump probably got a better deal converting a 757.

[DaxtonBrown]

Yeah, but once the kids track mud in from their beach trip to go clamming, all you’ve got is a tramp steamer.

[Organic Panic]

Looks like the owner of this one (at the link) is a drunk. Every picture features a bootle of booze.

In my old days of aircraft engineering Vijay Mallya was one of our customers. He knows how to travel in style with his own Airbus...



You would not believe how much effort and money it takes to put cable TV and internet in a private jet.

[Cyman]

” Fake Stingray Skin” !!!!!! How gauche

[Jim from C-Town]

You can get a used 727 from $500,000 - $3,000,000. and spend about $1,000,000 fitting it out and another $100,000 painting it and have a hell of a nice plane at less than $5,000,000. With a $250,000 tip refit you can get costs of operation down.
