With over 75 percent of the Earth covered in water, it would seem mere pragmatism to own a boat as means of transportation. For those sea fairing folks who sneer at the prospect of land-lubbing and would prefer to spend the majority of their time on the waves of the deep blue, owning a luxury yacht seems appropriate. While some people have a mortgage for an opulent home, others opt to take a boat loan for a home that floats. A Luxury Motor Yacht offers suspended mobility, a home that stays in its constant condition while simultaneously relocating at the owner's desire. Luxury mega yachts offers independence and mobility while retaining exquisite refuge for those who enjoy the finer aspects of a sea-faring adventure.

Luxury yachts are available through a wide variety of vendors, from companies specializing in the luxury yacht market to owners of luxury motor yachts. The difference between a luxury yacht and luxury mega yachts is a substantiate price tag. While a traditional 45' luxury yacht can sell below the $1 million mark, luxury mega yachts, which usually is 100' plus, is in the neighborhood of $6 million. For those who can afford a $1 million luxury yacht perhaps another $5 million is a drop in the bucket, but the price tag alone is not the end of costs for such a behemoth boat. Gasoline prices for a luxury motor yachts may drain a child's college fund in a single trip, not to mention docking fees and crew salaries. The difference between petrol prices in a 65' luxury yacht and 100' luxury mega yachts is such a wide spread that the "$5 million drop in the bucket" adds astronomical costs for simple port to port travel.

Fortunately for boating enthusiasts, the newest luxury mega yachts are equipped with lunch box sized batteries that power the massive engines, all the while having both diesel engines and wind power as backups. Should the batteries drain, idling the diesel engines for an hour will recharge them to their full capacity. Whoever thought that in the world of luxury motor yachts, boating would become green?

The luxury mega yachts produced by M Ship Company are extremely expensive, and many are still in the conceptual stage. Should the company continue its commitment to green luxury yacht construction, the future of the industry may be changed forever. At these prices, acquiring a loan for one of their luxury mega yachts would require a crafty mortgage company and a substantial amount of disposable income.
