Yachts in St. Maarten; December 2009

now you see with your own eyes what a nice ship that one is
but i don't think you'll see it crossing a street bridge with 20 inch free space on each side will you? ;D

Of course not Jannick, we in Barbados aren't that fortunate!

*hrhrhrhr*

Yes I remember the above photo when you initially posted it on the sea trials. Quite impressive! She has an insane number of tenders, 8 or so? what about the other toys, we do not know much about...So whilst in SMX, she just cruised around or she anchored and stayed?

A look across the bay. Count the yachts, and try to figure out which yacht is which.

Looks like St. Barths to me.

It is. I couldn't find a St. Barths thread.

Hi Yaku,

This is the best I could find for you that has relations to St. Barths...

Re: Ocean Emerald... "Different" is not the word I would use. However that second photo profile of the expedition style with yellow masts, now that's a nice looking rig.

Are you refering to "Amazon Express"?

Amazon Express

Yes that's the one. Thanks for the name, Googled it. Wow... very impressive. I'm not a fan of the floating jellybean style megayacht. Too many are painfully similar/boring. You sure can't say that about Amazon Express.

More Pictures

Hello Everyone. Sorry for the delay but here are the pictures of yachts I was able to take over Christmas/New Years in the St. Maarten area. Enjoy!

HESTON does it again!!!!!! Thank you! I see you water-marked them this time, good!

Look again...that is a 767 with double axle gear. The perspective of the shot is at an angle.

The plane is a 767, If you want to compare even the engine size you can do that. A 777 engines are bigger than a 767 and it is pretty well documented that the plane is a 767.

In addition, 777s have a squared off tail-cone, the 767 has a normal curving and tapered tail cone as seen clearly in the #7 photo.

If you want to compare again...
