Bloggers Cruise - Part IV

Wednesday morning finds us in St. Thomas. It's a beautiful island and we are eager to explore. We see the superyacht Cakewalk and our curiosity is piqued. So today I will share the following video to allow you to take a closer look at this magnificent vessel.

Cakewalk, a 281 foot luxury yacht built by Derecktor Shipyards in Bridgeport, Conn. is reported to be the largest yacht (by volume) ever built in the United States, and costing $82 million. The vessel is owned by Charles Gallagher, a private equity investor from Denver. Source: StamfordAdvocate
