There’s a dude who sometimes stops to talk to one of my morning coffee pals. Drives a Lambo and an AMG. Kinda looks like what you think a pirate oughta. I don’t know him but he seems decent enough. He has an 86 ft... Sunseeker? Something like that. A few days ago he says “Oh, I bought another one. Somebody was eager to get out from under it and the deal was too good to pass up”.

Another of my coffee crew is looking to buy a blow up kayak. We are a tolerant bunch who don’t discriminate against the rich.

The Sunseeker crowd are idiots. They are basically like a guy wearing a gold Rolex and a diamond-crusted gold bracelet, and more gold around his neck. Great if you live your life in a yacht club environment, terrible if you wind up in a third-world port run by the local mafia. Not only will the Sunseeker run out of fuel after a short run, not much more than a couple thousand miles, max, they suck in rough weather at low speed. Dangerously so.

The smarter megayacht crowd go for "expedition vessels" and "research boats" that are luxury inside, but with no bling outside.

They can easily pose as govt. or NGO vessels, while just as luxurious as the Sunseeker inside.
