I found this picture in the german edition of GQ, it is supposed to be "Marlin", formerly owned by President Kennedy.

The text literaly says:

"Kennedys longest affair

Shoemanufacturer Diego Della Velle, whose pebble-soled leisure shoes by Tod´s sailors also like to wear, just purchased by auction on the phone at Christies´s New York, while he was having lunch with Ralph Lauraen, "Marlin", which John F. Kennedy cruised before cape Cod. This is the reason the owner raises the flag of the american president at the stern. "

No wonder Mark Twain poked so mch fun at german grammar.
