Marketing.

Went last year down to Kata rocks and it was a gathering of the pretentious.

Give it a miss.

This is a "superyacht", not the little dingys anchored off Kata

Hoozizit.

These called " luxury boats" will be " super yachts " if the lenght reaches over 24 meters long.

For the "normal" people there is the "normal" Pimex Boat Show at RPM, 7 to 10 January, with "normal" yachts up to 32m

I also wonder why they include the picture of a 21m boat in this article...

Could it be revenews?

Havent seen much action down there. A few small boats and a big sailboat but nothing spectacular.

I'm saving up for two.

Are the plebes allowed on board?

When one is rich enough, then the person should have this support boat, to carry toys for the yacht.
