Yachtspotting in the BVI

The first week of May was more like Megayacht Mania Week at the famed Bitter End Yacht Club, where the PMY staff gathered for our annual staff meeting. In fact, so many famous yachts visited the waters of North Sound in Virgin Gorda that a turnstile should have been put in place. You're looking at the Westport Resolute (above) and the Christensen Thirteen (the ex-Barchetta, below).

Also spotted that week: the Benetti Domani, the Feadship Gallant Lady and the Broward Lady Francis IV . If I'd had a dollar for each time someone asked me, "Which yacht is that?" I'd own one instead of simply write about them.

  22. "Thirteen" tied up at the Carousel Marina in Boothbay Harbor, ME, before the first visible sunset of the week here, on July 19, 2009. Sixteen lobster dinners were delivered aboard from The Whale's Tale Restaurant, there. She was still there at 9:00 pm. "Texas oilmen", are rumored to be the owners at a price tag near $43,000,000 - but that's as like as not to be euphemistic and/or apochrophal.

  43. Thirteen was docked in St. Michaels, MD, on June 7, 2011, in front of the St. Michael's Crab and Steak house. Saw about 10 staff members walking around the dock speaking English, but I thought I detected a slight accent on one man. A few were carrying boxes of food back to the ship. Dockmaster would not reveal where the boat was registered nor to whom it belongs.
