The business of minding superyachts
It s been a superyacht summer at the Opua wharf with a line-up of large and luxurious maritime craft sufficient to resemble a mini Monaco. Latest to arrive from Australia on Monday was the 37.19-metre motor yacht Masteka 2, built in Taiwan.
It was listed for sale late last year at a shade under AU$10 million ($10.7m), discounted at just over AU$2 million. It sold, but to whom is a mystery.
