I have seen a few big boats on Lake Michigan and in the Charlevoix / Harbor Springs harbor but the Linda Lou beats them all… Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera with me last night when I was in Charlevoix. It’s not very often you see a 197 ft mega yacht docked in Round Lake.

I heard she visited Mackinaw Island and Harbor Springs before Charlevoix and is heading towards Chicago. Not sure who the lucky one is touring the Great Lakes on this yacht.

The 197' vessel with six staterooms and a jacuzzi on the bow is registered in the Cayman Islands and is offered for charters at an average of $495,000 per week.

I was wondering if anyone here has seen this yacht on Lake Huron or Lake Michigan and took any pictures? Or knows more about the lucky people on this yacht.

Bahh doesn't even look like it has rod holders or downriggers what good is it. LOL

What a boat, I'll have to keep an eye open in this area to see if it comes into Ludington at all. $495,000 for a week, bit too pricey for my blood, but I bet it would be a hoot to have for a week or so.

I would like to extend an invitation to all of my friends here on City - Data.

Y'all are welcome on my vessel, the Linda Lou, anytime.

Sincerely,

Cap'n YAZ.....

Wow, that beats the 115' Paradigm that was visiting Marquette harbor last weekend. The Paradigm was also based out of the Caribbean and chartered to come up here.

I am surprised I haven't seen it on local news sites yet like Northern Michigan News, Sports, Weather, Classifieds, and Entertainment — Petoskey News-Review or Traverse City Record-Eagle - Home. There were some other 40 - 50 feet yachts in the harbor but they looked like dinghy's next to the Linda Lou.

I just heard it's still in Charlevoix. I'll take some pictures this afternoon.

I saw it yesterday when I was downtown at the sidewalk sales. During the Venetian Festival we had 3-4 that size in the harbor!...its fun walking around town wondering which tourist came off which boat/yacht/ship

I think that may be the same boat that comes/came into Harbor Springs just about every year.
Sitting out in the harbor, you could see the top of the boat over the buildings from town. And from what I've heard, the owners are really great and friendly people.
The dingy is larger than most.
