Boat/Captain rentals

[89coupe]

Has anyone on here ever booked a private boat cruise/captain in the French Riviera?

Looking for info if you have.

Lives in Aspen, has to rent a private boat, does not compute.

One does not simply rent a giant yacht, when in the French Riviera.

One must follow local protocol there and hire locals to pilot.

Story is suspect.

One who lives in Aspen would simply purchase the French Riviera.

One who lives in Aspen would never bend the knee to any captain.

I thought people from the French Riviera went to Aspen on vacation, not the other way around.

Or is he already there?

Lloyd: Some place warm, a place where the beer flows like wine, where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I’m talking about a little place called Aspen.
Harry: I don’t know Lloyd, the French are assholes.

Based on the childish responses, nobody then.

Haha

You just need to hire a licensed boat realtor. They charge a $1000 fee to book a boat, on top of the actual rental cost, and you'll also have to pay a $1000 fee to the listing boat realtor as well. Don't worry if you don't have an extra $2000 - you can just take out a 25 year loan w/ interest to pay it. Since every boat is listed by a boat realtor, if you think those fees are outrageous and refuse to pay....looks like you're not renting any boat. Nothing shady about this at all. No monopoly.

I’ve looked at a few potentials, the boat I want is roughly $2000 euro for 7 hours including a captain.

But I’m nervous booking in advance, hence why I’m seeing if anyone has done it before.

Europe doesn’t seem nearly as organized as Hawaii when it comes to boat charters .

I don't know why but this current thread reminded me of another recent thread.

Simple observation but it unfortunately appears that any thread Brad starts eventually turns into a pissing match about money.

No shit, WTF!

It’s at least entertaining

The pattern goes like this: A thread is started with a question that is a thinly veiled attempt to draw attention to his apparent wealth. As the discussion continues, more details are revealed via humble-brags to flaunt the amount of money apparently being spent.

It would be like joining the Honda forums to ask people where the best place to get new rims for your Ferrari is. You know it's unlikely anyone will have the answer, but you might be able to impress some teenagers along the way.

I just want to know what my networth has to be before you all will allow me to shitpost.

This was actually pretty funny.

and once a person gets that rep...the jackals come out.

Next the questions will be: "which private jet charter is the best for EU travel"? " which French Riviera helicopter services can land on yachts?" LOL

[ExtraSlow]

I feel like about a month ago I suggested that you start a single thread for your European vacation, since it was getting clear you would be asking for lots of advice. You'd probably still take some abuse, but maybe less?


Anyway, your trip sounds awesome, in super jealous, best wishes.

I feel like all these could have been a single "plan brads vacation" thread. What are we at now, four threads for a single trip?

Now six threads for this trip.
Don't get me wrong, I want to hear about it, especially when you have pics from the trip, but it all could have been one thread.

Since the more inches of lift on your truck means the less inches of flesh on your phallic member, does the same correlation reign supreme for thread count per one topic?
