Actually, in the yachting world, I think the mega-yachts are mostly
registered in the BVIs. But that comes with a bit of a downside. Story
last year about Tiger Woods making a sudden decision to pull into Puerto
Rico in his BVI-registered yacht. His captain had forgotten the law that
requires 72-hour notification of the arrival of a foreign vessel in a US
port. Oops...boat was arrested...fines levied...and boat was escorted out
of US waters. Fore!
