It's Italian, super stylish and while it would perhaps have been better to be aboard in the sunny Mediterranean, it is a lovely boat.
Erica and Joseph enjoying how the "other half live", will I ever get them back aboard a heeling and pitching yacht again?
Joseph spent a bit of time deliberating over the controls and how everything worked, needless to say everything is powered and the walnut dash looks like something out of a Bentley.
On balance we took that as a thumbs up, we're looking forward to a trip out when the weather warms up a bit.

No such thing as a bad boat... we all have preferences but I'd rather be in any boat than not, and that one sure looks nice and comfortable!
ReplyDeleteI used to have a powerboat. Hideously expensive things. The very definition of a hole in the water you throw money into. So much so I stopped enjoying using the thing. Probably the only vehicle I didn't regret selling.
ReplyDeleteWhat? No central heating? No heated driver's seat?
ReplyDeletePatrick, central heating, definitely, heated seats, possibly, remote controlled lighting intriguingly.
ReplyDeleteSteve and mark, to paraphrase "better a day on the water than, well pretty much anything."
I am not a fan of big power boats mainly because of the noise - I like the sound of wind on sails and the noise of the bow wave - but I agree, better on the water than off it.
ReplyDeleteOne form of power boat I do like is a boat with a steam engine - recently we went for a trip on the 'Ernslaw' an old steam powered ship that has done the tourist runs at Queenstown (South Island NZ) for over a century. The experience of a steam ship stonking along with a plume of smoke is - awesome!
Are you getting soft and old Max?
