Superyacht Vantage

[Garryb]

Hi guys.

The ship ABIS DUNKERQUE arrived in Brisbane and unloaded a number of boats including the Superyacht Vantage.

Does anyone know who the owner of Vantage is?

Thanks for the information.

This yacht is currently my next door neighbour at our marina.

Best regards

She looks to be too big for that berth @ Rivergate Marina & Shipyard. Looks like she is blocking you all in.

Hi Nick.  No,  it's not too bad.  If we need to get out they just drop their bow line.  There is still about 8m clearance in front of it.

One website quotes the owner of VANTAGE as Calvin Klein who founded Calvin Klein Limited in 1968 and sold his company in 2002 to Phillips Van Heusen Corp.

Thanks John.
I have seen that a couple of times so he could still be the owner.
He was involved in the movie business too, and with the shooting of the new Pirates Of The Caribbean movie here, set to start in January sometime, I would dare say it may be here for that. Perhaps private accommodation for one of the actors or producers perhaps.

In fact we have seen quite a few Superyachts arrive in the past month or so, including Larry Ellisons superyacht Wabi Sabi. It has been here for a couple of months now.
