Ten true stories explode with action aboard the magnificent seagoing palaces of the rich - with comedy and tragedy, success and failure, life and death - told as only megayacht captains themselves can tell it. This book reveals fascinating aspects of seagoing life on chartered and privately-owned luxery yachts of some of the world's richest individuals, as seen through the eyes of the men at the helm and their crew. These captains and mates, whose lives are often intricately bonded with their vessels and the owners, have reported these actual encounters and situations that are brought together by authors Buddy Haack and Doug Hoogs, well-known megayacht captains for many years. A superb voyage of adventure, this book will mesmerize anyone who loves the sea and respects its power.
