While those aren't the exact words I was thinking... that's essentially how I feel. If these people truly wanted anonymity they should buy a nice used Sunseeker or Lazzara. Buying the biggest, newest, flashiest, whatever is
not the way to get it. It smacks of ignorance to believe otherwise.
That said, privacy is still a paramount issue. I'm fascinated by all these yachts we regularly read about and see. That being said, it's the
yacht that interests me... not usually the owner. I marvel at the engineering, the design, and craftsmanship that go into constructing one of these. Who paid the bill is generally irrelevant. The only time I'm ever curious about an owner is when I see something in a build that absolutely stands out and makes me think "that's exactly how I'd do it!" Then I can't help but wonder who it might be that has such impeccable tastes.
LOL
When all is said and done though, knowing the exact whereabouts of any given vessel at any time isn't really important to me. I suppose if I were being invited aboard I should know where they're berthed, but otherwise it doesn't really make a difference in my world.
