All of our best luxury barges come with a heliport. The BR-549 is no exception.

Oh, and the hot tub is standard equipment.

Looks very familiar - didn't I submit this 'Caption This' subject photo around about half a year ago??? - Or as lyn puts forward correctly; "Deja Vu, all over again!"

Loupy.

OK, I just read #6 Jpool's, as well as #7 lyn's , and I totally agree!!!
