These superyachts are pretty expensive to buy.
Luckily, if money’s a bit tight this month, you can just rent one [known in the trade as “charter”], instead of having to buy it outright.
For example, the “New Century” [pictured above] is a steal at only around
"Hugh's Daily Cartoon" Newsletter.
A new cartoon sent out every weekday morning to your inbox [RSS version here.].
A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.
my intergalactic cruiser comes in around those numbers… but no blond babes…
But it IS a nice boat ..
Okay, Hugh. I get it. You are the new LVMH.
And you really are in a good position to become just that. The blogosphere can reach the exceedingly rare, super-duper rich folks, that have to spend ever more money to have exclusive symbols of status.

Look for that which cannot be made affordable, and market it. You’re good at it.
The yacht gig happened almost by accident, Alan. But I’m glad it did =)
Some products lend themselves to marketing on bogs better than others. Usually “expensive” is good, because you don’t need a huge number of customers in order to be successful.
