It amuses me that the luxury yacht places around Grosvenor Street all use very average looking, early middle aged, men in their promotional photos. No young women, no women at all. Just men, men who appear to not do exercise but are otherwise quite well groomed.

yeah, that's a Concordia class ship, which means it's 70 feet longer than the titanic, 20 feet wider, and, er, 2.5 times as heavy. It's only twice as heavy as the USS New Jersey, and only 60% heavier than the Yamato. What maniac allowed it that close to the city? It's good to see that the spirit of Schettino lives on.

My mate (who used to be the Chairman of a fan-run non-league club) fits high-end stereo and entertainment systems for the super-rich. He's done that massive house owned by an oligarch in Hampstead, footballer's houses in the Uk and Africa, and yacht. Lots and lots and lots of yachts. He told me a few tales about how yer oligarch manages his yachting, and usually involves the crew having 3 days notice to get across the atlantic with the order to pick up 20 girls happy to spend a week at sea with the oligrach and his retinue of gofers, associates, business partners and hangers on.

TAB, that ship is actually entering the city, as the terminal at the time required them to "sail" between Giudecca and the centre. They used to go right past San Marco, which created scenes like this.
They were only banned last November, and there are still people (almost all non-Venetians) who think that was "unfair".

It’s coming! (September-October? Just been formally authorised by the Navigable Waterways of France to travel up to 25 km/h in the central Parisian part of the Seine, roughly between Tour Eiffel and Île Saint-Louis – it's capped to 12 km/h normally)

This is what their water taxi hubs could look like (here outside of the Orsay Museum):

I can't help but feeling that the future historians (should we have still historians in two generations' time) will see this as emblematic of the Macron Era.
The Aviva is still here, which is very unusual for a ship of its size. Usually superyachts planning on long term stays (such as Abramovich's when his then-wife was preparing to give birth), negotiate berthing arrangements with direct access to land.

The Atessa IV has been sitting next to the Coronado Ferry downtown for a few days. It looks seriously glam.
Apparently it's $150m of boat, owned by a bloke called Dennis Washington, who I'd never heard of before. He seems to be a mining and construction billionaire from Montana, and has enough ego to give his boat a Forbes photoshoot
