Awesome yacht!

Syxx_Killer · 08-06-08, 08:11 AM

I found this over on the Ubi forums. This has to be the coolest looking yacht I think I have ever seen! $300 million is a little steep, though.

Motor Yacht A
Price Tag: At least $300,000,000
This 390-foot custom designed yacht is notorious for its radical design. The vessel, a creation of Created French designer Philippe Starck, is owned by Andrey Melnichenko, a 36-year-old Russian billionaire industrialist.

Does it come with Bond girls?

Looks like the DDG-1000. Tumblehome hull and all that

No but it cames with the option buton to dive the boat and 2 torpedos tubes!

Why pay $300 million when you could simply buy a Russian military submarine that comes complete with crew and torpedoes? For an extra $10 million, you get MISSILES.

That's actually based on a true story. This Florida drug dealer made over $200 million off cocaine smuggling, and he bought his own submarine and helicopter, and private yacht (the Russian's even offered him a DESTROYER).

Hmmm, Russian tech....

It is not much very new or expensive or shiny or digitized or **then started drooling at thinking Western tech**

But hell it gets the job done!

Very pretty. Don't you just want to torpedo it in half and watch it slide to the bottom?

Think of the renown!

Doesn't seem to have much in the way of lifeboats. Wonder why that is?

Ugly ship, but the thing that caught my attention was the beer commercial in the background. "Bosman" is a well respected beer in northern Poland.

Well crap! That is all that matters!

I agree as long as it isn't bottom fermented!

That's longer then the new LCSs . . . imagine how many crewmembers it'll take to operate that ship. Man, there are some navies that don't even have ships that long . . . and they can take money at gunpoint from people.
