  Many yacht owners rent them out while they’re not using them as well.

    You can rent anything if you have the money. Private plane, mansion, island, whole cruise ship, super cars, trip to space, trip in a submarine. I’m sure there must even be places that will let you use rent/use old military equipment like driving and possibly firing old tanks, etc.

      There’s a place in Texas, outside San Antonio, where you can drive and shoot old tanks

    Yes, I work in commercial insurance and we wrote the insurance for an entire portfolio of a family owned private equity. The father at the head of it owned multiple yachts and ran a side business renting them out when he didn’t use them. It essentially just made them cheaper to own.

      So basically the rich guys own a yacht, and to recoup on the cost he rents it out to the mega rich who can afford to even when not used not to have to bother with maintenance and such.

      I bet the yacht owner thinks he’s poor.

        I’m pretty sure he and his $20 million dollar home and cash poor businesses think he’s rich. They were the worst people to work with.

    There’s an article on /r/france about a rich guy supposedly fishing all the fish in Cuba from his mega yacht. Many pointed he rents it out but he’s not there at the moment.
