A couple of incredible yachts were moored off the beach on Coronado Island.

Here's the link Mega-Yachts in Loreto

Just wanted to see the yachts. Don't want to register.

I don't think you have to register to view the forums or pictures?

This time clicking on the link I got to see one of the boats then after that a registration screen came up again and after a few more clicks on the photos just a blank screen. Maybe the problem is my computer. Thanks.

Did see the Kogo at the end of the public pier in La Paz in April.

Yacht

I have never saw them in action but people that have say the black boat acts as escort for the bigger yacht and by acts of intimidation discourage anyone from coming close to the bigger yacht

Here's the other...........

ps. the hull of the Kogo was painted blue since the 2008 article and photos, apparently, because the boat in La Paz has a blue hull, not white.

At anchor in Coronado, we were able to circle around them in our little "tin boat" without any signs of intimidation. We were pretty close to the Wally, they are really impressive up close.

When I saw it in La Paz in April it was definitely white.:biggrin:

So, I guess the Kogo just pulls up to the pier pump and El Capitan says "fill'er up" !! Imagine how many Pesos for that !!!

Edit: Just looked it up... the Kogo's fuel tanks hold 202,000 liters and can send that yacht 7,000 Nautical Miles at 14 knots (cruising speed)... the fastest it can go in ideal conditions is 16 knots.

Then, I figured out that @ 12 peso's per liter for diesel, that would cost approximately 2.4-million pesos... or over $185,000 US dollars to fill'er up !! Are my calculations correct? I'm not too sure.
