I want a little yacht! Nothing too fancy....just something like this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwOlhCvbg......embedded Does anyone know about finance with regard to buying a yacht? Is it the same, more or less, as buying a house on a mortgage?

If you have to ask about barrowing the money to buy a yacht, you can't afford one!
Our friends don't have to agree with me about everything and some that I hold very dear don't have to agree about anything, except where we are going to meet them for dinner.

Too expensive for me. I could barely afford the $32,000,000 one. Much less dock fees.

Just a little something to run about the pond of a weekend - nothing much, really.

I say you have 0% chance of getting a loan for that boat. But, you can get the shortest-length production yachts for under $100,000. If you're on a budget, look for brokerage yachts. This term means "used". Also, check out this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCtXTMw8yj4

People on other boats look at me funny when I'm out in my little outboard motor fishing boat shouting "Avast, Men!" Especially when I am alone.

It's funny you mention that because the funniest time that happened was the same week at the lake that I discovered Captain Morgan's "Tattoo." That stuff is sooooo good on ice.
There was somebody sailing by on a Cutter with a jolly roger flying. There's nothing about it that's funny in the telling, or that I could remember clearly enough to tell anyway. It was just fun at the time. Never caught any fish that week.

Did you see the link to Paul Allens yacht? Now THAT is a yacht. I saw the yacht that the guy who owns fox network has and thought that was the biggest one around until I saw Allens.

I believe the 32m, 34m, 46m refers to the SIZE of the yacht, not the price. Madoff purchased a Leopard yacht for only $7 million, a couple of years ago. http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/17/bernie-......ht-scam/ And here, for instance, you can buy a 34.11m Leopard yacht for 'only' 8.6 million euros. http://www.bluewateryachting.com/luxury-....../leopard

When I was in Greece a few years ago (around Athens and Piraeus) I saw some yachts that make those in the video look like bathtub toys in comparison.
Imagine a yacht big enough to hold one of those 32m. suckers in the hold, as a pleasure boat for the kids to play around in. Now THAT is a yacht. Consider this one: http://damncoolpics.blogspot.com/2009/02......cht.html

If you want the opposite experience you can always tour the Russian submarine in Seattle. Claustrophobic anyone?

Yacht is a term, I think it means anything over 34 feet. that's why so many yacht clubs are around, but when I think of a yacht I think of the UAE or something.

A real yacht should have a gig that is at least 25 foot.

I wonder where Madoff's yacht is.
