The MegaYachts are coming, The MegaYachts are coming!

Over the last 24 hours we have gotten a chance to see several "big boats" arriving to Saba.


This one is the Caribbean Explorer which is actually a large live aboard dive yacht which caters to divers that cruise the islands and go scuba diving.

This one is a small sized Dutch cruise ship that comes to Saba once in a while for day trippers.

And the creme de la creme is this mega yacht sailing vessel called the Maltese Falcon. It is the largest privately owned sailing mega yacht weighing in a almost 300 feet long complete with its own submarine!

The Maltese Falcon is available for charter in high season for a mere 350,000 Euros per week for up to 16 guests, NOT INCLUDING FOOD AND DRINK. Good Golly Molly!!!!

Check out the info on it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Maltese_Falcon_%28yacht%29

It anchored just below us yesterday and we watched it from the balcony. I kept waiting for some sort of smoke signal inviting down for the evening but, alas, it never happened.
