One of the most prestigious yacht brokers in the world has opened a
branch in Seattle.

The office is operated by a gentleman who worked the last several years
as the hired captain for, shall we say, "a highly successful Pacific NW
business personality".

Nigel Burgess maintains offices in New York, London, Monaco, Miami,
Moscow, Athens, Palma, and now...Seattle.

I have been looking through their listing catalog. The smallest boat
they currently represent is 112 feet, and the largest seems to be 308.
Nothing is priced under several million dollars, with pricing in the
$10-30 million range fairly common.

What seems expensive to me, however, are the charter listings. There
are some "knock your eyeballs out" mega-yachts for charter available
all over the world, just waiting for a guy and 40 of his closest
friends to take off and enjoy, for rates of anywhere from about
$100,000 a week to as much as $700,000 a week. Of course, at that sort
of rates these are fully staffed. :-)
