In 2003 a yacht a friend of mine worked on was sitting at anchor, per owners orders, just off of Cuba, at night. My friend was on watch when he spotted a small boat headed their way. As the boat approached, it was determined that it was a military attack vessel of some sort with no identifying numbers or markings. It's crew was ready to board them, which they quickly did. There were 6 men, in uniform, with no name tags. After boarding they demanded that money be paid immediately for anchoring in a "controlled area". The owner, his wife, and two teenage children claimed they were crew, and that the owners were on land. They also said that nobody on board had any money, and that all of the yachts expenses were paid by check. That really pissed them off! They proceeded to rob the crew of whatever they had in their cabins and not hidden at the time. When that wasn't enough, they trashed the entire yacht looking for a safe and valuables. They literally destroyed the entire interior, slashing everything with knives, kicking walls and doors in, shattering mirrors and all art on board. Sometimes the pirates are just underpaid government workers.

Haha! It IS the wild west. There's no law in international waters. That is why people get murdered on the high seas without police investigating. If a vessel is registered in the Bahamas and someone is murdered on that vessel while it sails on the other side of the world, the Bahamas police needs to investigate. Needless to say... they won't.

Steve Jobs commissioned a yacht called Venus but sadly and unfortunately never got to see it once completed which his wife inherited and was designed by famed designer Philippe Starck. It was completed a year after his death in 2011 at a cost of over $100 million and was impounded in 2012 during a dispute by Mr. Starck who claimed that the estate owed him an additional $3.5 million and was released after both sides came to an out of court settlement. The yacht has unusual windows and has IMHO too way too much exposure. I prefer privacy in a yacht. I don't even like the design of the yacht too...looks like someone tried to replicate a modern mansion and put it on a hull. But that's just me.

There are a lot more armed vessels out that you report to, especially the 100' and under sailing crowd. It's primarily ONLY we sailors without vital fuel restraints that sail off into the remote parts of the world; not the coastwise motor yacht folks that have very short umbilical cords - that they are not able to detach from, thank goodness, and are usually tied up or anchored up in and amongst lots of other boats and 'busy' areas. We are a completely different crowd of oceanic people. Quite often we are very remote and completely 'alone'. Things are not quite as 'mellow yellow' as they were 35 + years ago, unfortunately. Twice in the last 25 years have we been attacked - attacked - by armed pirates, fully boarded once. Twice did we win the day due to our own currency training and weapons familiarity, and showing no mercy, especially after seeing the death, physical abuse, and carnage - 2nd hand -from the hands of these pariahs. Have you got females on board? Mini14, 8 shot 12ga semi-auto, various handheld semi-automatics speaks louder than words brother. Want to hear some hair-raising stories? Forget about it. Customs? Cash still greases a lot of wheels, sometimes it's discard and re-arm. The world is flush with weapons, not just the Good Ol' US of A. Don't get into fights; end any fight immediately so you always walk away... Words from my old man.

When this was published, Heidi Horton owned Carinthia VII. As of this year it was sold. Two of the Walton heiresses own superyachts to my knowledge again at the time this was published; Secret, which sold this year and Aquila that is still owned by her. Outside of support vessels and 1 vessel under 300 feet(Planet 9), several of the really large superyachts are equipped with hangars for the helicopters. Some of those include Faith, Madame Gu, Andromeda, Ulysses, Octopus, Serene, Crescent, Ocean Victory, Nord, and Eclipse.

Someone asked about cats on SuperYachts: We had a cat sneak on our tug in NY Harbor back in the late 60's. We went out to Ambrose Light Ship that night and the cat was in trouble as soon as we went through the Narrows. Ambrose Light is gone but I did run across the tug down in Savanah maybe 15 years ago. We threw it in the into generator room until we returned to harbor the next day. A seasick cat is something you dont want to see or hear. What a mistake, what a mess. That is, one cat that will never go to sea again.
