Chapter 45

Taylor POV

All security checks are complete for our trip to the island. Security is in place and the ship is ready at the dock. It is going to take us 3 days to get there with the bosses new toy the 'The Anastasia'. She is a beauty to see. She is a massive Super yacht in a steel grey color. I have never seen anything like it but it is a dream. On the private helipad on board is also the boss's new helicopter an upgrade from Charlie Tango. He named it after his lady 'GreySteele'. It is also a beauty.

Elliot POV

"Fuck bro this is not a yacht. It is more like a luxury liner. Wow Christian you have certainly outdone yourself this time with 'The Anastasia'."

"A compliment from the famous Elliot Grey. This is a day to remember. She is a beauty isn't she? Just like my beautiful Anastasia. I was due to upgrade 'The Grace' anyway so what better time than now. Elliot 'The Grace' is all yours now. I want you to have her." Christian says proudly.

"Is this a joke Christian? Don't play games with me. You know I have loved 'The Grace'. Wow I don't know what to say?" My baby brother wants me to have The Grace. Wow I never dreamed of it.

"Elliot lost for words this is truly a special day. Just say thank you bro?" I have never seen Elliot stunned we all can't help but burst into laughter.

"Thank you bro. Wow I am a man that owns his own yacht. 'The Grace' after mom. The ladies are going to flock to go on her. I am looking forward to our trip back to the island and we will be traveling on 'The Anastasia'. She is truly something to behold and will be captained by Mr Tony, Christian, Anna and myself. Mr Tony was Christians captain for the Grace."

Christian took us for the grand tour she is an impressive nine-deck 163m motor yacht Prelude. Designed by Abdeslam Laraki. Towards the top, on the eighth deck is the Aqua-module, consisting of two pools. The wellness and water treatments pool is located in the front section. While the pool located on the back section of the module is dedicated to play and fun. There are also two water slides that stop in that fun and play pool. In the shallow water part of the fun and play pool, between the waterslides is located an indoor tropical forest like environment, along with an automated sushi bar for 20 guests, where one can enjoy the view on the pool and ocean on one side and the dense tropical vegetation on the other side. On the same deck, near the wellness pool in the front section, there is a dining area protected by cylindrical glass walls all around. Above the Aqua module, there is the Flying-module. The name describes its aeronautical, detached and autonomous appearance, standing on the top of the mega yacht. The Flying-module consists of a glass covered lounge area, located at the front, while on both sides of the module, we have a bar, pool tables, comfortable seating, and card play areas that lead to two large terraces, located in the back and overlooking the waterslides and the play pool on the eighth deck. The roof of the Flying module holds the radar and satellite receiver arch, along with the start area of the waterslides that go thru the module and all the way to the play and fun pool. Bellow the Flying and Aqua module, there is the seventh deck that offers, both in the front and rear, a large lounge and entertainment area, fitted with large sunbeds, sectional sofas, flat screens and bars. The sixth deck is exclusively dedicated to Christian and Anna, 'the Owner-module'. Besides the impressive size of such a space, they can enjoy a large pool terrace looking forward, along with two large general use terrace spaces located on both sides. At the rear of the 'Owner-module', is located the private reception area, consisting of a large circular living area, fitted with large sofas of different shapes and seating configurations, a dining area an impressive gym and spa and much more. The wheelhouse is located on the fifth deck. Other than the distinctive futuristic look the command room has, the fifth deck offers a huge surface that holds numerous living and entertainment areas to host large events and receptions. All leading to the fifth decks section, where we have a large open space with a helipad, a bar and a variety of comfortable seating areas. In the front part of the forth deck, there is the Beach-pool-module. A unique open sky space that includes a helipad on its front section, a large pool with a Jacuzzi and a wet bar, a variety of comfortable seating areas, large size sunbeds and two bars, one on each side of the pool. All leading under the wheelhouse, where there are even more commodities.

The forth deck is also where 10 VIP guest suites are located. Five on either side. They all have furnished private terrace space, full ocean view bath space, each equipped with an individual sauna, steam bath and other wellness equipment. On the rear part of the forth deck, we have the restaurant area that leads to a large open space fitted with round shaped seating and dining areas.

There is also the Ocean-access-module which is in fact what could mistakably be taken for exhausts that run at the bottom rear of the hull. In reality, the module holds two 13 by 4m pools, one on each side. When both huge lateral doors of the module are opened, both pool areas have direct access and full view on the ocean. The module is fitted with all the necessary equipment for leisure, fun and relaxation.

Christian's staff that work on his ship are the same staff that are going to be working in the new house. He has 2 for every bar area 2 chefs, one sushi chef, 2 maintenance guys, 4 cleaning staff, a personal trainer, 2 people that run the spa, This trip is going to be a hotel on water and a holiday on its own. We set sail the Friday.
