Default Greg Norman's off the Green

You guys have probably already seen this one, but good grief:

He had it built for only $70 million dollars. The company meant to build it for him "at cost" in return for the excellent advertising of having him as an owner, but they actually lost money on it.

When he first cruised into Sydney Harbor, onlookers remarked, "It's massive!

Nearly three times the size of the ferries in the Harbor!" In addition to being opulent, it is also built for Jacques Cousteau type fun and exploration. There is onboard diving equipment for 30 people including a decompression chamber and two huge compressors. Dives of all types can be accomplished by operating the Nitrox Mixing Panel onboard, enabling each guest's air tank to be customized with a mixture of gases.

To get the people out to those choice dive spots, or maybe just for having a bit of a splash, the following additional "small" boats are kept onboard:
42-Foot Custom Built "Game Fisher" Can be launched and retrieved from the deck.

Perfect for a 4-person overnight fishing expedition. Has a gourmet galley for cooking up the catch while it's still fresh, a 30-Foot SeeVee for a quick afternoon fishing trip. 22-Foot Novurania Equator with a meager 800 horsepower so you can get to the best diving sites ahead of everyone else. It has beach landing capability as well.

(2) 18-Foot Hewes Bonerfishers for those special occasions when Greg and a close friend may wish to maneuver over the sand flats in Key West, Florida 13-Foot Narwhal Rescue Boat in case someone falls off one of those other boats.

And finally, just for the hell of it, (4) Yamaha Waverunners!!!

It was sold to Huizenga, retrofitted for a helicopter landing pad and renamed "Floridian" after his golf club.

Saw a TV show on this boat. The wine cooler "only" has room for 800 bottles.

Talked to Larry Ellison owner of The Rising Sun and Paul Allen owner of the Octopus and they say thats a mid tier yacht at best. Poor construction, something about the jacuzzi having cored sides and dry rot in the bar. You just can't get top tier quality for under $200,000,000.
