Tilman Fertitta conducts US-Italy diplomatic cruise on $450M yacht
Tilman Fertitta, the US ambassador to Italy and a Texan billionaire, is conducting a summer diplomatic cruise along the Italian coast aboard his $450 million yacht, the Boardwalk. The 380-foot vessel, which features six tiers, has been used to host receptions intended to nurture diplomatic relations between the United States and Italy.
The voyage, which began in June, has included stops in Sicily, Venice, and Sardinia. Most recently, the yacht docked at Port Livorno following a delay caused by a violent storm near Portofino. Fertitta, who is ranked 109 on the Forbes 400 list, made his wealth in the hospitality and entertainment sectors.
