You still could not afford this yacht! Holy crap! I like the helicopter garage below the bow that lowers your personal helicopter to its confines via an elevator...

The $95,000,000 USD is the 50% deposit on the contract to build the yacht! The remainder is due to be sent throughout the build.

If you had enough money to buy and maintain that thing...i'm pretty sure u wouldn't need to get anywhere in a hurry. Even if you did, im sure the helicopter would get u anywhere u needed plenty fast

its nice but all that is is a few sketches.

I wonder if ebay charges even if you don't sell the item? Cos that would suck for them.

a newish western friget will do 30 knots with it's jet turbine driven propellers at full speed.

1 knots = 1.15077945 mph

30 knots is abuot 34.5 mph or 55.2 km/h

You can buy an ex chinese aircraft carrier on ebay for 40 million.
