In this week’s Big BOAT Interview, Katia catches up with mortgage tycoon and serial yacht owner Anthony Hsieh to find out how he came to own a fleet of 10 yachts. Known as the Bad Company fleet, the line-up includes a 44-metre Trinity sportfisher, a 46-metre Damen Yachting support yacht and 28-metre motor yacht, and the soon Anthony will have a brand new 53-metre Damen Yachting in the mix as well. The pair discuss how he uses his fleet for fishing, whether he enjoys the "luxury" aspect of superyachting and what draws him to the Damen Yachting models.
