| Derecktor | 85.6M " AQUILA" ex. "Cakewalk" | 2010 |

I believe the going rate for a new Oceanco was about €150-160 million plus another €10 million for tenders and other personal items which would be at the $197 million Cakewalk is listed at. Granted, Cakewalk doesn't have the same technical qualities or prestigious qualities of an Oceanco. I also believe she was made for around $100 million (maybe slightly cheaper) back in the the year of her construction dollars.

I agree, all those yachts are grossly overpriced. The market today is a buyers market. A huge chunk of the world fleet is for sale. And you not only need to convince a buyer, but the financier too, and those guys don't "fall in love" with any boat.

Hi,

Maybe there is a problem with the hull door or the crane that lifts it onboard.

Maybe somebody aboard is anticipating a fishing opportunity??

Hi,

Ron, A defective shell door can be held shut with chain blocks, bottle screws etc if required.

Maybe it just doesn't open.

They could, of course, just be being a little lazy. It can be a pain to lift a tender just for a short inter-island hop.

Maybe it had a recent major service or upgrade and being checked for performance and whatnot.

Not sure what a semi limo is, but, you are right, it doesn't sound like it has a baitwell

Indeed, the only fish that come aboard that vessel are missing their heads and wrapped in white paper.

Cakewalk Sold

I Hear a rumor that Yacht Cakewalk is sold.....Anyone know if it's true?

Burgess announced the sale of "Cakewalk"...well finally after being on the market for quiet a while asking 119 Million euros.

I saw that she appeared to be sold but I couldn't find any sort of press release.

Her sale was reported on BI dot com on December 5, 2014 by Malcolm MacLean who said that Burgess acted for both the buyer and seller.

Following her recent sale she is now named "Aquila"!

I've noticed that on MT. Wasn't there an old Amels named Aquila?
