Using my boat as a backdrop for a video of someone's tender, shouldn't I get some royalties for that?

These "mini cruise ships" are ridiculous! Some destinations like the Bahamas become off limits due to deep draft required. Dilbar needs 20 ft! That rules out a lot of Florida unless you want to visit commercial ports!

Holds 40 guests but has a crew of 80?
Reminds me of the center console argument: simplicity is why you buy one!
Want it fast, make it 3 motors
Then we need more fuel which means more weight
Well then add 1-2 more motors so it is faster but then we need more fuel.
So now my kind of fast center console has 5 motors and needs to carry 600 gallons of fuel but what about the main reason for getting one (simplicity)?

BTW if you need a reminder of the biggest $%&# contest (boat) just visit a place like Ft Lauderdale in season. You will be in awe at the 125 footer until you notice the 225 footer the next dock over. Then you will notice they "DON'T MOVE!" for weeks at a time. A quick google search of the vessel name usually shows the vessel is for sale.
Unless you can use the boat 4-5 months a year I'd say RENT IT! The annual dockage for a mega yacht would exceed the rental cost for a full month! Forget about crew/insurance costs.
This family seems to be doing a lot of cool trips with this 180 footer:
