* Indecent Proposal (yes, there was a yacht in this movie) * Superman Returns - Lex Luther's M/Y Gertrude--a 300-ft. yacht--qualifies as "GIGA" status (too bad it was just a computer 3D creation) * Producers of the NEW James Bond Film, Casino Royale (to be released Nov. 2006), have confirmed that this latest 007 production will feature a Sunseeker motoryacht.
Yachting is an industry, and it's serious business.
Aside from the OWNERS and CHARTER GUESTS who travel aboard them (because many of them are our heroes...and we certainly admire them!), the people who make the International Yachting Industry run are our heroes, too.
They include (but are not limited to!):
* the marine architects, boat builders, craftsmen, and interior designers who create and even refit these seafaring mansions * the suppliers and service vendors, fuel bunkering agents, and the chandlers who provision and maintenance them * the yacht brokers who sell them * the yacht management companies who help operate them * the charter brokers and charter managers who handle the renting of them * the workers at the shipyards and marinas who house and harbor them *yacht finance companies, yacht insurance companies, yacht painting companies, yacht engineering and electrical companies * the captains who manage and RUN them! * and last, but certainly not least, in the World of Luxury Yachting: The lifeblood of the industry is THE CREW (which includes the aforementioned--and beloved!--captains!). These are the individuals who live aboard and look after these vessels year round--guests onboard or no guests onboard. *We then, of course, also honor the myriad of companies that exist to recruit and place (crew recruitment and placement agencies!), license and train (crew training schools!), network and represent, and even consult and insure the crew.
