I have an 18 foot fiberglass canoe. Accomodates one guest and a dog. Can moore it pretty much anywhere. Crew of two. Gets great gas milage. Hard to throw much of a party on it, but not for a lack of effort...

Atlantis can handle some pretty big yachts. I had heard Paul Allen showed up there and they could not fit him. He had to park it at the cruise terminals in Nassau and shuttle over to Atlantis.

Nonsense none of those are bigger than my boat
 (not a photo of my actual boat but it is what I could find on line) Hey I can dream can't I  Wow $100,000,000 boat and it cost ~ $10,000,000 a year to play with. Would take me a couple of years of savings just to play with it for one day.
