I had read about this super yacht a while back in the local paper. It looked quite big in the pictures I saw on the website. Up close to it, it was HUGE and very impressive. While out diving along Seven Mile beach this morning, our captain took us for a close look at this gorgeous ship.<\/p>\n

Ok, here is the story!\u00a0 The owner of this boat is auctioning it off later this month in a no-reserve auction. Essentially, this boat could (technically) sell for 100$. I think we can all agree that’s not going to happen. In order to bid, you have to place 2M Euro in trust which if you are not the winner you will be refunded. Basically, they want serious bidders only. The current owner is the owner of the auction house that is auctioning off the Apoise,<\/p>\n

Here are the pictures I took.\u00a0\u00a0 Quite frankly, they do not do justice to this massive water craft.\u00a0 Its quite awesome how big it actually is.\u00a0 A quick Google search tells me that its the 89th largest private yacht in the world and is 220ft long. Oh, and the gas tank takes 190,000 liters (just over 50,000 US gallons) of diesel fuel.\u00a0\u00a0 It can also accommodate 12 guests and 19 crew.\u00a0 I was told that it could fetch 50M$ at the auction.<\/p>\n

If any reader of this blog intends to buy this boat, I’d love to go for a ride sometime! Please, I’m a really nice guy! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
