    we stopped doing day charters a few years ago when the “quality” of the charterers started going down.

    It has now reached new low. Actually it s not the first time it happens, a couple of months ago shots were fired on an inspected charter vessel after a dispute between some passengers.

    the boat is a 32m Rodman named Nirvana

    Doesn’t surprise me based on the couple of times I have stayed for a few days at Miami Beach Marina. On my dock there would be charters on going and I could see the clientele coming and going. Eclectic crowd for sure.

    32m Rodman named Nirvana... As she arrived in France from Gabon (2010)
    YO1 - she was the 'Presidential Yacht'... A gift from Rodman Group to Omar Bongo, Supreme Leader of Gabon

    We bought the boat from Alexandre Rodriguez (not A-Rod) in 2011... ran her to Beirut and began her refit... 12 months later, this is how she emerged
