A Culinary Adventure: From Sushi Boat to Mega-Yacht Dining

This might be the craziest food adventure I’ve ever filmed. I went from eating sushi on a $100 sushi boat to having a five-course dinner on one of the largest yachts in the world. Here’s how it all went down.

The $100 Sushi Boat

I started small, or at least I thought I did. For $100, I got a sushi boat that actually floated! This creative presentation stacked high with a variety of sushi options, ranging from fresh tuna and salmon to sumptuous scallops and shrimp—it even included my favorite delicacy, uni. To my surprise, not only did the sushi boat float, but each bite was incredibly flavorful.

Seeing the colorful assortment bobbing gently on the water only added to the experience. The thrill of indulging in sushi right off a miniature boat set a high bar for what was to follow!

The $10,000 Lobster Boat

Next on my adventure was a $10,000 lobster boat experience, where I had the chance to catch my own dinner. I dropped five lobster traps into the ocean, feeling optimistic but nervous. The first trap revealed a lobster that was unfortunately too small to keep, while the other three yielded nothing but crabs. Thoughts of going home empty-handed crossed my mind.

Just when I was about to lose hope, the last trap made it all worthwhile. It contained three lobsters, including one massive specimen that could have easily fed two people. I cooked it right there in seawater, an experience that genuinely brought out the lobster’s freshness. The taste was unlike anything I had ever experienced, a true testament to the ocean’s bounty.

The $1 Million Caviar Cruise

After the lobster experience, I moved to something even more extravagant—a $1 million yacht where I was treated to caviar and Dom Perignon. Cracking open a 500-gram tin of Royal Oscietra caviar, one of the finest in the world, was a dream come true.

I tried it the classic way on a Ritz cracker with some crème fraîche, but my favorite combination was surprising: the caviar on a potato chip with fresh lemon. The salty, rich flavors intermingled seamlessly, creating an unforgettable bite that highlighted the luxurious nature of the meal.

The $100 Million Mega-Yacht

The journey continued as I boarded Mirabella, a colossal $100 million mega-yacht that dwarfed most houses. A marvel of luxury, it was equipped with amenities like a jacuzzi, automatic doors, and a $100,000 hidden TV. However, what really stole the show was the food.

A world-class chef prepared a five-course tasting menu that was worth every penny. The courses included $10,000 caviar, beeswax-aged yellowtail snapper, salmon skin tacos, delicate tuna tataki, and kurobuta pork two ways (often hailed as the wagyu of pork). To cap it all off, dessert was an apple cheesecake mousse topped with Wagyu beef caramel powder. Each dish exceeded my expectations, leaving a lasting impression of culinary brilliance.

From Dinghy to Dream Yacht

This journey took me from baiting lobster traps to indulging in one of the most luxurious meals imaginable. Every bite throughout this adventure was not just tasty but elevated the experience to a new level, making for a day that was as memorable as it was delicious.

So now I’ve got to ask: Would you rather eat lobster fresh off a $10K boat or enjoy fine dining on a $100M yacht?
