Many of our readers have asked about the recent sightings of the luxurious yacht cruising around Southside Vallarta and Banderas Bay. It is rumored to be Tsumat out of Veracruz and sailing under the flag of Cayman Islands.

Following is some information about Tsumat from Forbes contributor Dolia Estevez:
 
When it comes to personal choices, some of Mexico’s superrich like to buy real estate, art collections, and zoos with exotic animals, while others prefer luxury yachts, expensive and professionally crewed vessels. There are currently five Mexican billionaires and millionaires known to own luxury yachts, according to Super Yacht Fan, a website about luxury yachts and their secretive owners.

Because of her outstanding lavishness, Tsumat–a 164 foot tri-deck custom built super yacht bought by Mexican millionaire Alfredo Chedraui Obeso–outshines the other yachts owned by Mexicans. Chedraui is Chairman of Grupo Comercial Chedraui.

In  December 2012, Trinity Yachts, Tsumat’s U.S. based builder, announced  Tsumat’s delivery to her owner in a press release that did not identify the owner by name. According to Trinity Yachts, Tsumat‘s layout includes six state rooms which are able to accommodate 12 people. There is living space for the 11 crew in the lower deck. A tender garage, instead of the usual helipad, allows for an oversized sundeck with workout stations and entertaining options. The sundeck has a hot tub, bar, dining for eight, quad chaise lounging, treadmills, weights and large sunning areas.
