Who owns "Jamaica Bay"?
I went past it on my way down the Potomac a couple of days ago.
Just curious. It's big.

Yes, that one.
It's a foreign registry, probably to a corporate entity. Typically
the builders, brokers and crew of a boat like that will be sworn to
secrecy with non-disclosure agreements regarding the true identity of
the owner. Sometimes if you google around you can pick up snippets
of gossip.

I googled around extensively but couldn't turn up anything concrete.
Looks like anyone who's had anything to do with it is sworn to secrecy.
I had my interest piqued because I was wandering around Old Alexandria
Sunday a week back and this thing was at the pier there. Bit hard to
miss being that big. The I saw it again when I was heading back down
river. I wondered who'd bothered to take it all the way to Washington
(not an easy drive) and thought it just might have been the guy who owns
the Redskins. Apparently these things are the latest must have for the
owners - the Ravens' owners' boat, "Final Drive" from memory, sits
alongside Ego Alley in Annapolis. Not in it, but next slip other side
sort of. But then I figured if they are "must haves" they have to tell
everyone, right? I abhor a vacuum so I want to know.

The ones we get over here are almost always on charter or going to be
chartered, or fixing it up to go on charter, or, or, or. The actual
owners might come out for a couple of weeks a year but the majority of
the "passengers" have chartered it. We had one come in twice with a
helicopter on the roof:-) That one I did ask about as the helicopter
had some strange licence number. Nobody knew where the helicopter was
registered but I was told that it couldn't fly in the country without
a lot of paper work to get permissions, etc.
