#9: LAUREL—240'0"

If you ever see Laurel, be sure to say hello to the littlest "crewmember," a toddler, who’s the daughter of the captain and the purser. The yacht was built with a nursery to keep the couple happy in case they wanted to start a family. Prior to arriving in Australia, this family and the family-oriented vessel have visited Maine, Alaska, and Panama.
