That Sunseeker is likely my favourite yacht ever made. It's just so gorgeous. It can stand out in any harbour without being a few hundred feet!

The Sunseeker Predator 55 is another amazing yacht. I believe it had a 50-knot top speed, but that engine option seems to be gone now. . . Damn marine environmentalists!

Re: Luxury boats

WOW...what a boat (the Maltese Falcon.) Some of those pictures of it rolling do not seem to show really rough water like the 3rd from the bottom. Maybe this was sea trial and they were making high speed turns and from the last picture it looks like they took water over the bow. Just a fantastic piece of marine engineering....

Tiger's new toy is very nice ...very tastefully done. I wonder when he will get the time to use it.

LOL -- I can think of better ways of spending 20 million dollars each year.

I would agree...everything seems just perfect and not overdone which you see on many megayachts. A very comfortable atmosphere...

How did you see interior pics, ree? I thought there was a big fiasco about pictures of his yacht being used for publicity purposes by the builder. I think it went to court and was settled.

Woods may have good taste to commission a nice yacht, but, apparently, not enough good taste to correct ten years of constant vulgar, unprofessional displays on the golf course.

BOO! Tiger is not the only one to display some ripe language on the golf course...you only know about his because they always have a mic on him. Based on what he has accomplished as a golfer and in his Foundation to give children a chance at learning more than overshadows his outbursts on the links. God knows I, and millions of other golfers know the word S*** and other blue phrases used when playing the game.

BTW...he won the law suit...read the full article and the interior pictures are for an unnamed hull #.
