What the hell’s up with yachts, anyway?

Beyond the status symboI don’t understand the selling point.

Traveling in luxury around the world and being able to go into international waters where laws don’t apply for everything else I suppose

Beyond the status symbol

I’m pretty sure that that’s a large part of it. If it weren’t, the race to have the largest and most expensive yacht wouldn’t be such a thing.

I guess it’s an isolated environment with controlled access, so you don’t have to deal with paparazzi or whatever.

I guess you’re only subject to the laws of the flag state. I don’t suppose that that matters much for Russian oligarchs.

There are a couple laws in the US where the US will still assert extraterritorial jurisdiction over its citizens, even if they’re in territory normally outside of US jurisdiction. One of those is child sex tourism – and it looks like a similar thing is done by the EU and UK – so you can’t just go out on your yacht and have sex with twelve-year-olds to your heart’s content. But for most other stuff, I believe that as long as you select your ship’s flag carefully, it’s probably more-or-less outside the law for most purposes. For some people, that might be rather significant.
