I read elsewhere that Utopia was barreling along at 20+ knots in near darkness when it rammed the ship.
Eastbay, Grand Banks and Sabre for a start.
Does anyone have experience with the Riviera Belize boats? I toured their 66 at a boat show and liked a number of the features. I see a smaller...
I'm not as experienced as everyone in the 60' to 69' range but I thought Fleming, Outer Reef and Offshore were good quality boats. There are some...
The array of megayachts wandering the word's oceans is interesting and astonishingly vast. Thanks for the terrific photos Gibdan.

Gibdan thanks for great photos. Interesting to see large catamaran yacht Wayfinder. Not many large custom catamaran yachts built although Horizon...
The owner of Evergreen shipping was also a yachtsman. He built a 302' motor yacht in Japan around 1999 -- not bad looking. It was named Evergreen....

Wife and I have had both vaccine shots. Feel pretty safe now, at least fairly confident I'll survive a bout with Covid. So odds are I'll get to...
A few other brands that might offer suitable boats include Belize, Riviera, Maritomo, Offshore, and Krogen Express.
