"Limitless, which has cruised more than 100,000 miles and is still going strong, was one of the worst-kept secrets while under construction, partly due to the fact that the then-captain was seen walking around the various boat shows with a rendering of the yacht on his T-Shirt and the name "Limitless" beneath it. Another poorly kept secret was the identity of the owner, Leslie Wexner, owner of Victoria's Secret and other stores. While the rest of the yachting world waited to see what his yacht would look like, Wexner was busy making sure his requirements were met. One of the many no-compromise stipulations was a 25-knot top speed; Anything else would mean that the yard would end up owning her. (Obviously the speed was attained.) Limitless has several fascinating features, including an F-16 joystick control at her helm, a "dolphin cam" in her bow, and lights encircling her waterline to maker her anchorage glow at night. Wexner reportedly considers the interior his private domain and won't permit it to be shown, despite it having been photographed."

"Limitless is--and always will be, thanks to a Congressional act--the largest American flagged yacht."

Wait. What? Why? So if Bill Gates wants a bigger yacht constructed and wants the stars and stripes flown on it, he can't?

WOW. I'm very Optomistic,..but I feel poor right now.

thats ill

I spent the 4th of July on a mega yacht back in 2001 and it was amazing. That is a whole different ball game when it comes to luxury and wealth. The boat I had the pleasure of partying on cost about 10 million, so I can't imagine what Mad Summer would go for!!!!!!
