As much as I enjoy the billionaire tears, I wish the article went into more detail about why Naples banned them in the first place.

The billionaire tears are so refreshing to drink from this article yes...quite a fine vintage.

I suspect the "reasons" are never going to be discussed; probably to prevent the same billionaires from money-ing their way out of this as well. Fortunately in countries like that; the Harbormaster's word IS LAW.

I suspect they simply don't want these sorts of luxury yachts clogging up the ports anyways and would rather that they anchor at a nearby port that is better equipped for them and use their smaller craft to visit Naples.

I could see how large yachts captained by assholes working for billionaires could be a safety hazard if they don't behave professionally or ethically in port or manage the expectations of an immature yacht owner.

Yeah, all I got was something about security reasons & some fan almost drowned swimming out to Leonardo's boat to say hi?! Personally I'd say good riddence BUT I would say the local economy might take a hit?
