David Gilmour | Astoria Yacht | Undisclosed

He first saw Astoria when he was cruising the road with a driver. This was the time where his driver’s license saw a suspension for a year. Reports say that Gilmour asked the driver to pull over so he could take a look at this jaw-dropping yacht. After the first encounter, he saw the houseboat again in a Country Life magazine while waiting for his dentist. Fate might have been the reason he saw it again, so he reached out to the seller, and soon enough, he became the luckiest owner.

According to Club Yacht, Gilmour described this attractive investment as a “very, very beautiful, magical place.” Even though it wasn’t soundproof, David decided to build a recording studio here. He and his band, Pink Floyd, recorded several albums from Astoria, among which are The Division Bell, Endless River, and A Momentary Lapse of Reason.
