My dream yacht is a casino yacht that picks up people in a state where gambling is illegal and drives to international waters for the weekend so people can play.

Name? Possibly "Pocket Aces."

I own this really cool yacht, it’s a classic from the 1930s. It’s a J Class, made from beautiful mahogany and teak. I’m a sucker for old-world craftsmanship and I just love the feel of steering it through the open sea, especially when I can hear the wood creaking a bit. It’s more than just owning a yacht for me. It’s about cherishing the past, appreciating the skill of those old shipwrights. There’s a sort of dance between the yacht and the sea, and I love every minute of it.

 

Pics?

No chance of ever owning it but my dream yacht has to be the Maltese Falcon. I saw that beauty several years ago on the water and still think about it often. Maybe some day (perhaps in the distant future), I'll settle for being able to charter it. Not that interested in yachts otherwise, but I'll take a runabout (most Grady-White models or a Riva Aquarama).

The Riva Aquarama is my dream boat/yacht. One of these babies and my duchess on Lake Como and I’ll retire.
