Guys,

I want to be Greg Norman!!! The "Shark" has just taken delivery of his ship "Aussie Rules". Note the Game Boat and slight smaller tender on the back. I guess the other 2 flats skiffs, 2 tenders and 4 jetskis are stored out of sight.

There the specification from http://www.dockwalk.com/issues/2002/october/aussierules1.shtml

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

ABOUT THE NORMAN EXPEDITION YACHT
At 69.5 metres long, Aussie Rules can travel at a comfortable 12.5 knots, across 8,000 nautical miles on 220,000 litres of fuel. This means she can almost cruise from the South Pole to the North Pole without having to refuel!

The yacht can comfortably accommodate a complement of up to 16 guests in deluxe guest cabins with several opulently appointed dining and lounge saloons. A traditional theme is carried throughout the interior incorporating finely crafted timber details to carefully selected soft furnishings and accessories to complement this style.

Greg Norman's sporting and yachting experience has greatly influenced the design and concept of this unique motor yacht with entertaining and exploring elements evident in the design and outfit. Keen watersport guests will be able to optimise surrounding aquatic playgrounds through the range of tenders carried onboard. These include:
This the part I like
a 12.8 meter / 42 foot Gamefisher, launched from the main deck by double slings when the yacht is in port. Perfect for overnight outings, the Sportsfisherman includes four berths and a galley to cook up the "catch of the day";
a 9.2 meter / 30 foot SeaVee for smaller fishing excursions;
a 7 meter / 22 foot Novurania Equator 800 horsepower for diving and providing guests with a dry ride ashore;
two 5.5 meter / 18 foot Hewes Bonefishers to maneuver over sand flats and estuaries in areas such as Key West, Florida;
a 4 meter / 13 foot Narwhal Rescue boat; and
four Yamaha Wave Runners (jet skis)
The dive equipment onboard Aussie Rules will cater for up to 30 people and includes a decompression chamber and two dive compressors. For the fishing enthusiast there is also 200 fishing rodsto ensure the ultimate catch.

The sun deck features a spa/pool able to seat 12 people and boasts over 100 jet outlets arranged differently for each individual massage position. Greg Norman's well-known "shark" logo appears prominently emblazed in polished stainless steel on the bottom of the pool.

As you smacked golf balls off the bow into the ocean while cruising the Bahamas you'd have to be thinking........ " I think I made it " 8)
