At noon the next day, the yacht club dock.
This is the largest yacht club in San Juan. There are hundreds of large and small yachts moored on the steel-structured marina, which is not considered to have gone to sea!
At this time, Ye Tian and the others, under the leadership of the yacht club staff, walked on the floating pier of the main channel and walked straight ahead.
On both sides of them, there are beautiful and luxurious luxury yachts, each of which is very valuable!
Regardless of any place or country, private yachts are the top luxury items, belonging to a very small number of people, and having no relationship with ordinary people at all! Same goes for Puerto Rico!
Walking along the floating pier of the main passage for about 50 meters, Miller suddenly pointed to the front and said excitedly:
"Steven, this is the yacht I chose, the Ferretti 960 Flybridge Yacht!"
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and immediately saw a white yacht on the right side of the pier not far ahead, docked on a floating berth in a branch channel.
The yacht is white above the waterline, and the glass windows traverse the entire main deck from the stern to the bow, making its silhouette look very light and sporty, and it seems to be ready to rush to the sea at any time!
The large area of glass windows, coupled with the downward recession of the boat rafters on both sides of the hull, are at the same height as the windows of the salon restaurant, which will inevitably make the lighting conditions inside the yacht better.
The appearance of the yacht is very fashionable and has a trend-setting style. Even in such a marina where luxury yachts gather, it also gives people a feeling of standing out from the crowd!
Seeing this beautiful yacht, everyone couldn't help feeling bright and excited.
Ye Tian did the same. After stopping and admiring for a while, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Wow! As expected of the top brand in luxury yachts, smooth lines, elegant shapes, very dynamic, really beautiful, it is fascinating to look at, guys, let's feel it in the past!"
After speaking, he immediately walked towards the luxury yacht.
Miller, Matisse, and Pique followed closely, and excitement flashed in everyone's eyes.
This is a large private luxury yacht, a top luxury value of more than 10 million U.S. dollars. They have had very little contact before, or even have not contacted it! Only for envy!
Now it's different. In the next few days, this private luxury yacht will be completely owned by people like them. They can drive this top luxury luxury to enjoy the Caribbean Sea. How can they be not excited?
The only fly in the ointment is that there are no beautiful women in the sea this time, no supermodels from the fashion industry, no Hollywood beauty stars, only a bunch of rough men who are ready to dive into the deep sea!
Everyone followed the staff to the yacht and chatted casually.
"Miller, is there no suitable catamaran on San Juan Island? I think catamarans are more suitable for our exploration."
Ye Tian asked in a low voice curiously. The two days ago, Miller and the others were looking for a large catamaran.
"In comparison, catamaran yachts are relatively few in nature. There are a few on the island, but they are all sailing boats with insufficient power and not up to the required size. Very few are above 15 meters.
In addition, the speed of the catamaran yacht is too low, and the boat's motor can only do about 16 knots, which obviously does not meet our requirements. If we encounter special circumstances at sea, we can't run it!
Another point is that the fuel tank capacity and fresh water tank capacity of catamaran yachts are relatively small, more than one-third less than that of single-body yachts of the same length, which cannot support our long-term work at sea.
The Ferretti 960 is different. It has a speed of up to 30 knots and is very maneuverable! The fuel tank capacity is as high as 9,000 liters, and the fresh water tank capacity is 1,320 liters, allowing us to stay at sea for a longer time!"
Miller explained the situation in a low voice, and the reason for choosing the yacht in front of him, simple and clear.
"It seems that I took it for granted. According to you, this Ferretti 960 is obviously more suitable for use in this exploration operation. If the ship is okay, it is it!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said, agreeing with Miller's choice.
While talking, several people have walked to the berth of Ferretti 960.
Miller stepped forward and exchanged a few words with the yacht club staff, and then took everyone on board the private luxury yacht.
Ferretti Yachts, the flagship brand of the Italian Ferretti Group, a global leader in the design, manufacturing and sales of medium and large motor yachts, is one of the world's top luxury yacht brands.
The Ferretti 960 in front of them perfectly confirms this point. Every detail on the yacht reveals a taste of luxury and elegance, and also reflects the romantic style of the Italians.
When Ye Tian boarded the yacht from the stern and entered the main deck cabin, the staff began to lead them to visit the luxury yacht and give a detailed explanation.
"The Ferretti 960 is the largest recreational yacht of the Ferretti Group. It is a work of art from Italy! The innovative design combining classic and modern gives it vigor and vitality.
This luxury private yacht has a length of 95'9" feet, or 29,2 meters, a width of 22'2" feet, 6,78 meters, a weight of 87 tons, and a draft of 7'21" feet (2,2 meters).
Its top speed is 30 knots, which is very high among flybridge yachts. The fresh water tank has a capacity of 1,320 liters and the fuel tank has a capacity of 9,000 liters, which can allow yacht users to stay at sea for longer.
In the Americas, there are no more than ten Ferretti 960s in stock. This is one of them. It is equipped with two 16v M94 engines with a power of 2638hp, which is extremely powerful.
It has also made greater breakthroughs in terms of livability. In addition to a master cabin located below the main deck, the lower deck also has four cabins of the same size and furnishings, as well as three crew cabins.
It has a spacious interior space, the same classic layout as a large yacht, popular exterior lines, and the use of colors to make it more beautiful,..."
In the introduction of the club staff, everyone walked all over the yacht and got a general understanding of this private luxury yacht.
And Ye Tian, who was a few steps behind, had already secretly turned on perspective, seeing the inside and out, every corner, and every detail of this yacht transparently, without missing anything.
The deck, passenger cabin, inside and outside of the hull, engines, propellers, fresh water tanks, fuel tanks, radars, various electronic equipment, communication equipment, and all other parts and equipment have been thoroughly seen.
This is a 95% new yacht. It has been used for less than a year, and the various equipment has just passed the running-in period. At this time, it is in the best condition and there is no problem. He can rest assured!
The hull and various cabins are all intact, almost indistinguishable from the new one.
In addition to the Ferretti 960 yacht itself, there is also a boat house in the stern area, which houses a motorized small boat.
The small boat can carry five or six people, and there are several handles on the edge. If the yacht breaks down and stops at sea, it is no problem to take a dozen people away at one time by using the small boat and diving equipment.
This small boat is also 95% new. It is a supporting product of the Ferretti 960. The engine is powerful and everything is intact.
The stern swimming platform is equipped with a convenient activity area, which can be used for launching and towing other equipment in the docking boat, submersible and boat house.
Once the boat house door is opened, the middle part of the swimming platform will sink, submerging part of the boat house area, so that the small boat can slide into the water smoothly with only one winch.
More importantly, the capacity of this boat house is large enough to accommodate a small boat about 45 meters in length and store various equipment such as scuba equipment, diving propulsion and so on.
There is no need to modify at all. Just take out the small boat and put it on the deck before going to sea. This boathouse can be used to load small sightseeing submarines and underwater robots. It is perfect! And very hidden!
Undoubtedly, this is the most suitable and best exploration yatch that can be found at the moment.
Ye Tian retracted his gaze, ended the perspective, and made a decision at the same time.
That's it! This Ferretti 960 luxury private yacht will be the work boat for everyone to go deep into the Caribbean and explore the Malaga Princess.
Using a private luxury yacht as an exploration vessel sounds a bit weird and too extravagant, but it is a very good cover, which can perfectly cover up the true purpose of this operation!
When this luxury yacht appeared on the high seas of the Caribbean, everyone would probably think that it was the super-rich who came out for vacation. It is impossible to think that the people on the yacht are here to explore the sunken treasure!
After the decision is made, the next thing is simple!
After the tour introduction, Ye Tian and Miller followed the staff to the yacht club office area, formally signed a lease contract, and leased the Ferretti 960.
The yacht club originally planned to send drivers to follow the yacht to go to sea, not only to provide driving services, but also to ensure that the yacht is not maliciously damaged.
However, their proposal was rejected by Ye Tian.
This time out to sea is not a vacation, but to explore the shipwreck treasures. How could it be possible to bring an unrelated person with them? If they really find the Malaga Princess shipwreck, then how they can ensure that them will not leak or come themselves to salvage!
Besides, Matisse and Miller both have experience in driving large watercraft, and there is no need to hire yacht drivers.
Of course, rejection comes at a price.
That is higher rents, and higher guarantees!
For Ye Tian, these are not at all painful. He paid so easily without blinking his eyelids!
After signing the lease contract, Ye Tian and Miller returned to the yacht berth to experience the luxury yacht temporarily owned by them.
When they reached the berth where the yacht was located, they looked up and saw Matisse, who was standing on the flybridge deck, standing behind the bridge, excited.
Obviously, this guy can't wait any longer, now he wants to drive this luxury yacht out to sea, so he's so addicted!
And this is also Ye Tian and Miller's inner thoughts, who doesn't want it?
"Steven, untie the rope, let's go for a round at sea, try the performance of this yacht, and let us experience the luxury life of billionaires! That must be cool!"
Matisse stood on the fly bridge deck and said loudly, looking very excited.
"Hahaha, no problem, I also want to try the performance of this yacht!"
Ye Tian responded with a big smile, also very excited.
Afterwards, he turned around and smiled at the staff who followed:
"Man, help untie the rope. Are you going to go out to sea with us or stay here?"
"Forget it! Go out to sea to play, I wish you a happy playing!"
The club staff shook his head hurriedly and said, even a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
Ever since he saw Ye Tian and knew that he was going to rent this yacht to go to sea, the hearts of all the staff of the yacht club hanged up, avoiding it for fear, and not dare to go along with him!
"Well then, see you later, buddy!"
After speaking, Ye Tian and Pique boarded the Ferretti 960 from the stern of the boat and quickly collected the cable.
A few minutes later, the melodious siren suddenly sounded, resounding throughout the yacht marina.
Immediately afterwards, the white luxury private yacht slowly sailed out of the berth, broke through the calm water, and sailed towards the blue Caribbean Sea outside the pier.
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of hearty and transparent laughter in the air, as well as the noisy rock music, all from the white yacht that was gradually going away!
