She is the "Texas Star". A charter yacht that starts at 50k for a week and sleeps up to 10 guests.

Texas Star - if that who she is - is a 105' Azimut built in 1987.
She just fits into the mega- category at [ + 100' ]

Yep, that was her. She pulled anchor this afternoon. We only saw 3 people on board. They had some trouble pulling the anchor up. Looked like it was stuck on the bottom for a few minutes.

During our evening happy hour(s) on BVI trip last year, we looked up all the boats we saw during the day. We were playing a "how much do you think that one rents for?" all week long.

I'm with Bert. At 102 feet it is really small. When you see the Rising Sun around here that is 487 feet or so! Most of the mega yachts that hang out here are 150 foot plus.
