Superyacht owners

[Prudie]

Didn't know which topic to put this in but does anyone know if there's a way to find out online who owns the flashy yachts you see in marinas abroad just by knowing the name and origin as painted on the yacht?

i bet DTcrosswordfa has a Superyacht to go on his Missions for M.I.5/6,and a few of his chums

You might be right, I think Mick T is an undercover agent too.

i think Sqad might - and Mike11111 is converting his into a Gin Palace,to moor on the Tyne -

the answer is No.

I heard an interview with one of the people who were building a massive yatch for Abramovich (the owner of Chelsea football club).

While he talked a little about the boat there was much he could not say as he had signed a confidentiallity aggreement.

I guess this is for security reasons, such as terrorism, kidnap and ransom and so on.

Particularly when you have those scum pirates off the coast of Somalia.

So I doubt there is a nice "look up" list anywhere on the internet on who owns what boat.

(Many may be owned by a company rather than the individual. So Abramovich may well register the owner of his boat under "Russian Dodgy Activities Ltd rather than himself.)

I thought the answer would be no. I'm only being nosey. I often see lovely big boats in the Balearics but occasionally have seen the really huge multi-million pound things and wonder longingly who is so lucky to own one.
