Oh The Agony Of Choice,

the white or the blue?


I guess is the question being asked in bars around the harbour in Gustavia on the Caribbean island of St Barts, as two super yachts moor along side each other, the white yacht owned by Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich, the blue yacht owned by Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, Abramovich's £1billion yacht Eclipse is the world's largest privately owned yacht at 557ft long - beating the Al Mirqab which is a mere 436ft, but the Al Mirqab was named the second most beautiful yacht across the globe after it was built in 2008,


would I like one, you bet! but I am not sure I could afford to pay, in the case of the Eclipse, the eighty members of staff needed to operate the craft, come to that just think how much it would cost to fill the ship with fuel!
