    I was just staying in the RIU Sante Fe hotel in Cabo San Lucas and there was an Attessa yacht with the helicopter on the back anchored out front for the last week, I was just wondering if anyone knows whos it was? Heard some rumours it belonged to a PGA golfer... anyone know if thats true? Thanks.

    Hi,

    Welcome to Yacht Forums.

    As a rule here we do not disclose or discuss Owners identities or details.

    I will go as far as to say that the boat you are referring to in your post above belongs to a US Businessman who may or may not play golf but he is not a golfer by profession.

    I was sitting in Guadeloupe down in the Carribean a few years back on a charter yachter waiting for our guess to arrive. One day while the deckhands were doing there thing outside, one of the locals walked by and asked him who owned the boat. For what ever entertaining reason he decided to tell the man that Sylvester Stallone owned the boat. (the boat was really owned by some buisness man they never would had heard of) Later that evening, not knowing what had happened earlier, I walked out the door and there was like 30 to 40 poeple standing around the dock just hanging out. They first looked real excited when I opened the door but then looked let down and dissapointed when they saw me. I couldn't figure out what was happening so I went back down into the crews quarters and asked if any body knew why all those people were hanging out by our boat. They replied "El stupido over there thought it would be funny to tell some one that Sylvester Stallone owns the boat, now the whole island thinks they are going to see a movie star".....

    The most wicked "whos the owner"? prank we pulled was on the 65m Katalina.

    Just after Maggie Thatcher broke-up the domination of the NUM miners union and the union leader managed to destroy an entire industry, we were in Antibes. 65m was quite a big boat in the 80's, so many questions were asked. One of the deckhands just casually answered 'the question' to a retired British couple and said it belonged to the union leader Arthur Scargill and was paid for by the Soviets and the KGB.

    Oh boy, that did not go down well. Grubby press types started to hang around for weeks after that so we just made a pact to tell everyone it was owned by Micheal Jackson, beleive it or not, it made life easier. :confused:
