All you'd like to know about Super Yachts

[Art Blade]

I don't dare to even try to count how many cups of coffee I drank during my lifetime so far, however I do know that I drank something like 1,800+ cups of espresso during the last two years (for two years now I own a machine that brews espresso and counts the cups served) yet I still find a cup of coffee rather appealing. It tastes so damn good, even after all those years. :-D

As an aside, I've had my Saeco machine for about 15 years, and at 2 cups ($3 each) per day for 350 days per year I have saved $31,500 in coffee.  I discount the price I pay for the beans I use because the fuel to get to the coffee shop more than offsets the price of the beans.

I bought a yacht today. Not because I must but because I can.  :-D

Nice name  :-D

[PZ]

Nice!

[Binnatics]

Nice indeed! :-X :)

By the way, looking at Nutshell 06... isn't that MY lovely bartender with a French accent working on your boat there? ????

:-() :-() :-()

[fragger]

Nice boat there, Mr. Moneybags :-D :-X 8) Love the name!

[Art Blade]

ta. :-D

Well, Binnatics, it's a clone of her. The one that you got, I mean. :-()

I changed the paint job for "just" $220,000. Now it's pristine white. And it is just so big..

The Lampadati Toro is a twin engine power boat that just comes with the yacht. If you buy it on its own, it costs $1.7M. The Helicopter costs $3.3M but it also comes with the yacht. And the dinghy rubber boat and some jet ski cluster.. the stuff you get along with the $8M Aquarius Yacht is worth some $5.5M if bought as stand-alone.

I had Halo check out the yacht. Guests on board of the Nutshell may use the hot tub or the bar or just sit down with the owner. :-D

If to you the yacht defence system appears to be a tad too bland, you may kick it up a notch or two by stationing VTOL aircraft on deck turning the yacht into a carrier.  :-D

How do you launch that jet?  ???

[Art Blade]

PZ,

Spoiler

it was a joke. You cannot "station" it, you need to own and fly it yourself. The Hydra can be bought using the cell phone and there the internet option where you can find a homepage of a military vehicles sales and buy it for $3M. I got mine in the summer of last year.  ;) You launch it by entering the cockpit and hitting the gas pedal, so to speak. However, you need to be able to perform a precision landing on that helipad in order to get nice screenshots like the ones above :-()

It looks like a Sea Harrier, but sleeker and with two tails.

[PZ]

@Art    ... and expensive decoration!

[Art Blade]

 :-X :-()

[Binnatics]

I think you are right Fragger, this plane is based on the Brittish Aerospace Harrier II and has vertical take off and landing gear. You have to rotate the engines to change from hovering mode to jet mode. When in jet mode it flies like a fighter jet, like the in-game lasers. When in hovering mode, it can hang still in the air and shoot whatever comes close. It has homing rockets and a minigun with explosive rounds. It's one of the most powerful weapons in the game and the only 'fighter jet' that can be owned. Whenever you go to a public session in online, you will encounted ppl flying around in these bombing every unaware player that comes too close :-()

I decided to slap on some colour, yet another new paint job for my yacht Nutshell. It's called Mediterranean and worth a little less than $400k. So far I have spent more than half a million just on paint jobs. :-D

[Binnatics]

No wonder, imagine you have to paint that damn thing

[Art Blade]

in that case, I'd instantly take that job. I don't have a job that pays that well. I'd say, paint one yacht and take three years holiday non-stop. I'd be damned if I didn't take it :-D

[Art Blade]

a change of lights on my yacht (adding those illuminating stripes everywhere) costs some $600k but currently there is a 10% discount making it "only" $540k -- an offer I did not refuse.  :-D

Nice  :-X It's all about the lighting.

[Art Blade]

and about the change (pun intended) :-()

[Binnatics]

You're nuts  ^-^
