Luna was sold to Roman Abramovich's close friend, Farkhad Akhmedov, for $400 million U.S. dollars in April 2014.[1] Akhmedov sent the yacht to Bremerhaven, Germany in October 2014 for an extensive refit of over $50m, delivery due December 2015. No public information is known about the details. [7]

By now it might be worth less though based on the difference between the original cost and the last price.

Edit, also from wikipedia:

"Fitted with an anti-missile system like its sister ship, Eclipse (yacht). All windows are bulletproof to B7+ levels. The steel hull is over 17.5 cm thick. LRAD guns, bomb-proof doors, FLIR."

See also the ridiculous number of ocean going cargo ships that suffer black outs in eastern Canada every winter because their cooling water intakes become clogged with ice.

Legit username post combo here.

For content, I remember visiting the yard for a company I worked for where they were laying down 10,000 dwt self propelled barges and thought those were huge, but they aren't even handysize!

That is a sexy boat!

I guess I’m joining this thread in earnest now because my parents bought a new powerboat. We’ll see when they let me take it out, but the dogs are starting to like the lake.

The boat I mostly work with does something like 30,000 HP :smug:

But can you take it between American ports with cargo?

My wife convinced me to name our boat Lemon Party. It was too on the nose and I’ve been paying for Neptune’s forgiveness since I changed it again after a couple of seasons.

Because goatse yacht could open up a big whole if it gets renamed after the fact.
