[@aaronerskine3401]

its a very impressive boat in person. on the weekends in dallas, you can see jerry trailering this behind his 1979 ford station wagon to the lake.

[@bradhanson4803]

Now that's funny

[@lucyblack1645]

I expected it to be a pick up

[@shanechostetler9997]

I saw that yacht up in Juneau Alaska a few years back, pretty impressive weekender!

[@lunes-1]

Nice yatch

[@peterturner8584]

in London, just before Christmas, it was moored outside Becketts warf

[@udo5479]

Its my new one to going catching the big fish

[@HakTunes]

Why Jerry’s boat have an England flag????

[@ThamesShips]

When a vessel is sailing in a country other than that in which it is registered, it usually flies the flag of that country as a courtesy (thus it is called a courtesy flag). Since it is sailing within the UK, it is flying the Union flag as a courtesy. If it were to sail over to France, it would then fly the French flag, etc.

[@visionist7]

It's always fun trying to guess the internal layout from the decks & windows. Well maybe only fun for yacht foamers like me lol

[@ThamesShips]

Yes - I agree. I did search the internet for a deck plan but unfortunately I could not find one.

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

Why did they moor her out in the river?

[@ThamesShips]

Many of the larger speryachts that come to London moor there. She has to be moored far enough out from the side so that the water is deep enough for her draught. Although it looks as if she is moored out in the river from this side angle, from behind, she is not moored too far out and there is still plenty of room for the other vessel to sail passed.

[@jeff5951]

I think there are more than 30 crew!

[@ThamesShips]

Please can you let me know where to find the information about the higher crew. I obtained my information from www.superyachttimes.com/yachts/bravo-eugenia

[@jimgemmell2831]

Impressive looking yacht. Biggest i've personally seen is the 66m Elysian, anchored just off Ardrossan, Ayrshire a few years back. Not too often we see one of these at our little town lol

[@ThamesShips]

I know Adrossan. My mum was born in Port Glasgow and my dad was born in Johnstone so I visited that area often to see my grandparents (though sadly they are now all dead). I still have happy memories of taking the train to Largs and sailing across to Millport on the CalMac ferry for a cycle around the island. Hopefully PS Waverley will come to the Thames again this year. We haven't had it for a while due to Covid etc. but hopefully it will come in September / October.

[@jimgemmell2831]

@@ThamesShips Small world indeed. Don't know what's happening with the Waverley this year. Hopefully you get to see her on the Thames.

[@visionist7]

Largest I saw was Lady Moura at Monaco. Yachts are always so much bigger in person.

Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. He named it after his wife Eugenia.

specs on the mooring lines?

[@ThamesShips]

Sorry - I don't have that information.

[@billyeaton5408]

As an x boater they look small to me.

[@donbaxley5530]

I would think this yacht design would be very unstable in rough weather?

[@ThamesShips]

I am not an expert on yacht design but I assume that the designers would make it as stable as possible.

[@johnceyesdaby]

@@ThamesShips notice after the steps were lowered to off the piolets that it rubbed against a window...

[@ThamesShips]

@@johnceyesdaby Yes - I never noticed that until you mentioned it!

[@visionist7]

It looks like it could have quite a deep draught. It'll have fin stabilisers too.

[@ThamesShips]

@@visionist7 I believe the draught is 4m.

Maybe next time...

Thanks. Hopefully when it departs it will be at a more convenient time.

[@UKShipspottingRailFreightTV]

@@ThamesShips I was thinking the same thing.Will keep an eye on pla.

[@alphillips4772]

Was it some maritime law that said the boat should turn 270 degrees to starboard when it seems it would be easier to turn 90 degrees to port? Just wondering. :-)

[@ThamesShips]

There is a large bend to the right in the river that the boat has to negotiate as it comes into view so I assume that it is just easier to continue the right turn as the momentum of the boat is going in that direction anyway.

[@alphillips4772]

@@ThamesShips I see, thanks for clearing that up. I kind of knew there was a reason behind it but I couldn't work out what that reason would be lol.

[@aaronwebb7090]

I suspect their cabins are slightly larger though :D

[@Steve4TheWin]

But this ship only has 4 decks.

[@visionist7]

It's probably only 12 for charter if he ever charters her out

[@benjaminpicot5058]

So sad.......tequila 🎉🎉🎉🤣🤣

[@thinking4902]

To be correct it should be BRAVA EUGENIA , not Bravo.

[@ThamesShips]

Is the yacht not called Bravo Eugenia?

[@redwolfexr]

Jerry was probably being "cute" with the play on words. Eugenia is his wife's name.

[@ThamesShips]

@@redwolfexr Thanks for the info - I did not know that!

[@jean-pierredeclemy7032]

Wrong courtesy flag unless The Queen was on board! With that sort of money comes disrespect!

[@ThamesShips]

Yes - I know what you mean though I often see a number of merchant ships on the Thames making the same mistake. It doesn't make it correct though!

[@winstonp.prescott3845]

Beautiful boat, the entire cost of it is a tax write off..yep you can claim the entire amount on your income tax as a deduction..even your private jet. Must be nice!

[@foxxster3565]

Nice reverse park. I’d pass the captain on that one, give them their licence. Not sure I am a fan of this yacht. Nose too long, upper decks too short. You could have made her 30 or more feet shorter, lengthen the upper decks and it would look more proportionate and have the same internal space.

[@ThamesShips]

Yes - it was certainly excellent boat handling. I know what you mean about the length of the deck

[@aaronwebb7090]

But then where do you land the helicopters or place the tender garage? Her hull is as long as it for hydrodynamic efficiency not aesthetic proportionality.

[@redwolfexr]

Jerry doesn't do "short" -- the irony is he is a MASSIVE cheapskate except for when his ego gets involved. Doing business with him isn't that different from Trump.... you can bet that Jerry's "profit" is locked in and yours isn't.

[@victorimmature]

where did the docking money and fees go for that i wonder ? straight in khans pocket i would bet .

[@ThamesShips]

According to the Port of London Authority handbook, "London Cruise and Yacht (a partnership between MBNA Thames Clippers and the Port of Tilbury) hold the contract with the Port of London Authority to manage the London cruise moorings at George Stairs Tier." I assume the docking fees are therefore paid to "London Cruise and Yacht".

@@ThamesShips Your orthography in the script is incorrect. I was using a bit of dry humor to point out the error. I live and teach in the neighboring island of Jamaica. If my memory serves me right the Cayman Islands were at one time administered out of an office at our Kings House in Jamaica.

Such an ugly boat. Too long in the nose and weird ass cascading windows only at the back to ruin the deck lines.

Totally agree. The architects must have been half asleep, or asked their grandkids to draw this one out…

[@stallagiardino7877]

Actually a large yacht is a very good way of putting money back into society. From the moment the owner signs the contract it is spend, spend, spend…There is no chance of making money out of a yacht. When it is designed it supports 30 /50 people and their families. Once the build starts, 1,000’s are employed, not only at the ship yard, but also at the companies that make the engines, generators, pumps, lighting , interiors, the bridge and navigation equipment..the list goes on and on.. Once commissioned, crew, management, logistics and shoreside support earn their living from the boat. Every port the yacht stops at makes money from the yacht, not only mooring fees but also all the local businesses that supply food and consumables to the yacht.. As I say, the owner can’t make any money from his or her yacht..it’s simply spend, spend spend..and so the rich guys money works its way back down to ordinary working people who build, operate and supply these vessels.

Those big yachts pay a lot of peoples' bills.
