My brother spotted this monster yacht yesterday, just off shore from his lodge in Bocas del Toro, Panama.
I have never seen a yacht this big before, and wonder who the owner is.

I've seen Yacht's bigger than that, but not as badass looking. That thing is serious! When I was in Greece back in 2005 I saw Bill Gates Yacht, guarded with armed men with lots of guns. Very badass. The guards were super nice and answered any questions we asked. Bill's had a helicopter on it...

I seen this one in Bar Harbor last year. Notice the little dock on the side about mid ship and the matching sail boat. It came into the harbor towing a Chris Craft dingy.

Very similar to this one...


World’s-most-amazing-superyacht.jpg


The futuristic $14.5 million luxury trimaran yacht Adastra has turned heads during its unveiling ceremony in China. It took five years to plan and build and has been described by boating websites such as Boating International as one of the “world’s most amazing super yachts”. At 42m-long and 16m-wide, the fuel-efficient boat weighs in at 52 tonnes.

It has a maximum speed of 22.5 knots and has a range of 4000 nautical miles at 17 knots – which is enough for a trip from the UK to New York. The vessel, designed by John Shuttleworth Yacht Designs and built by McConaghy Boats in Zhu Ha, China, can even be controlled with an Apple iPad within a 50m range.

U.M., looking at this video, I believe it's the same yacht. Take a look at 1:47 into the video. At the rear, they put up a portable cover of some sort, making it look like a solid rear compartment, but it isn't as far as I can tell.

How big was the "Chris Craft dinghy"?? 40 feet? 50 feet? ;)

Yeah I saw the exact same thing when he was in my country last week. Had his yacht at sea, his helicopter at our airport and the G5! Security galore!

looks like belongs to a Bond villain!

That was my first thought. In fact, I'm almost certain there was a Bond villain with a similar looking yacht. I think it was in one of the movies that featured Jaws, but I'm not sure.
