DSC01191 - The yacht, KISSES
In Miami Harbour

Contrary to rumour of it being owned by the Hershey Corporation, the yacht - one of the 30 largest yachts in the world - is, apparently, privately-owned.

One of the obesevers below claim it's Norman Braman's yacht, but that's not been confirmed.


other sizes: small medium original

Fred Schaefer 08-Apr-2011 16:44
I started to send Norman $50 for his PAC - from my $1700 month income it is significant. however, "Kisses" indicates my vote is more of a show of support.
Guest 22-Dec-2010 18:28

Guest 07-Sep-2010 01:54
Where will the yacht be after Newburgh, NY?
Guest 06-Sep-2010 15:27
I wiggled my tuchus for the cute deck hands hoping that it would get me on board and all they did was wave. Shame :( That always worked at Bon Jovi concerts. Kisses is located at the Newburgh, NY waterfront this Labor Day weekend, though.
Guest 06-Sep-2010 02:37
Kisses is currently in Newburgh, NY on the Hudson River - Wow!!

The super yacht KISSES is dockside here in Portland harbor, and I'm enjoying the addition of this Feadship pearl to the collection of jewels available for my viewing pleasure from my deck at Chandler's Wharf this fine summer's eve...
Nan 17-Aug-2010 18:48

We boated around Kisses today here in Boothbay Harbor and looking at it from our home on the Harbor
ROZZ 02-Aug-2010 23:28
This striking and 175" long yacht is right in front of my house on Gooches Beach in Kennebunk, ME. George HWB went up to it in his boat FIDELITY III, and they didn't come out--they completely ignored him. Maybe they're DEMS
John Gallo 27-Jul-2010 20:46
July 26 2010, Saw this Yacht KISSES from my home deck over on Aucoot Cove in Mattapoisett Buzzards Bay Cape Code yesterday night I took some beautiful pictures.....I looked up the Yacht name Kisses and it turned out to be Norman Braman and I compared the photos online on Google Images and i confirmed its the yacht...

Guest 04-Sep-2008 17:29
Walked by this boat yesterday as it was docked at the end of Chealsea Piers on the Hudson in NYC. This boat is beautiful. Braman is the owner, however there were a number of executive types boarding in a steady stream. Parked just one pier away was Steve Forbes' yacht The Higlander.
Guest 27-Aug-2008 14:04
KISSES JUST PASSES MY CONDO AGAIN. WENDSDAY AUG.27,2008. MUST BE GOING HOME. IT REALLY TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY. YOU CAN ONLY DREAM.(SMILE) FRAN
Guest 27-Aug-2008 13:17
KISSES WAS DOCKED AT FRONT ST. MARINA FOR THREE DAYS. IT LEFT MONDAY AND WENT PASS MY CONDO . IT IS BEAUTIFUL. PEOPLE WERE BEING SERVED ON THE BACK OF OF THE YACHT. WISH IT WAS ME.
Guest 26-Aug-2008 15:57
It is now anchored at Hyde Park, NY on the Hudson,
right off the banks of the Culinary Institute of America.
I saw it yesterday- largest boat I've ever seen on the Hudson!
Mark 24-Aug-2008 00:34
Kisses is docked currently at Front Street Marina, Newburgh, NY, i been up close to it and have talked to many of the crew members and even Norman Braman's real quick after asking me directions to an attraction, It will be there for two nights and then leaving for Hyde Park, NY, It's fun to work at a well known marina to see nice yachts like these and these people and the crewmen are very very nice and generous. To many people have asked who it is and as a job of the crewman they always have to say a businessman, haha crazy right.
Richard Smith 24-Aug-2008 00:31
She is still in Newburgh tonight, and she is a beauty!
Guest 24-Aug-2008 00:16

We saw this in Providencetown on Tuesday at 3:30 Aug 5th 08. There were a couple of people on deck and the launch come into the marina for about 10 min. and the back out. We couldn't see any on in the launch but the driver and he let them off at the back and then tied up and went aboard. Our boat left and we cgot to cruise by. What a nice way to live.
Rick 28-Jul-2008 18:25
Just watched her in Boston Harbor at lunch.
skbcot 26-Jul-2008 23:49
It just went through the Cape Cod Canal heading east/north east toward Ptown or Boston. What a beautiful vessel

Lee Michael 16-Jul-2008 21:15
We saw Kisses in Edgartown Harbor over the weekend of 7/11 to 7/13 (we left she was still at anchor). One of the lovelest yachts I have seen.
Guest 11-Jul-2008 00:25
We saw the beauty in Edgertown today (July 10) and she lives up to all that has been said.
Joe C 09-Jul-2008 20:25
She is here in Hyannis.....an exceptional yacht with a professional crew. An asset to this Cape Cod town.
Guest 09-Jul-2008 15:47
A friend spotted her at Hyannis Marina on Monday.
Guest 07-Jul-2008 02:05
I believe Braman is the owner... I saw a man walking around Nantucket with a KISSES hat that looked like him at least. Strangely enough, I have now run into the yacht in Bermuda at the Fairmont Princess over Memorial Day, Newport in early June and now Nantucket for July 4th. Wonder where they are off to next....
Guest 30-Jun-2008 00:19
kisses is the most gorgeous boat I have ever seen. Its not oversized... Its not even one of the 100 biggest yachts in the world!!!! U have MAJOR false information.
guest 27-Jun-2008 02:03
I think Paul Copson does not have a eye for yachts, she is not oversized not ugly and def not tacky, Kisses is a beautifull yacht with a timeless look!
Poppy 26-Jun-2008 14:52
We saw the yatch yestrerday docked in Nantucket as we arrived Straight Warf. I got several great pictures of this beautiful yatch. We later saw an eldrely gentleman walking on Main Street wearing a white baseball style hat with the word KISSES on the front.
Paul Copson 26-Jun-2008 03:17
She is currently here in Nantucket...over sized, ugly and thoroughly tacky.!
Guest 24-Jun-2008 02:27
on June 22 the boat was docked in the Hamptons, (Sag Harbor)
Guest 23-Jun-2008 03:29
KISSES is in sag harbor, NY currently
Michael 13-Jun-2008 13:35
Yes, it was still in Newport on Thursday, June 12th. We were at the Newport Onshore and our deck literally hung over the edg of the harbor. We had an unobstructed view of this gorgeous yacht less than 75 yards away. We could see them dine on the top deck !
Anthony 10-Jun-2008 17:34
it was docked in front of 41 North, which is the old Christy's in Newport the weekend of June 7-8
guest 09-Jun-2008 19:59
It's docked in Newport, Rhode Island...has been for a few days now...what a beauty!
cj 24-May-2008 21:51
Kisses is in Bermuda docked at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess right now!
Craig Higgins 25-Apr-2008 13:59
It is also reported to be owned by the bramans but I would assume Jim Pattison is the more likely owner.
c 25-Apr-2008 13:58
The owner is Jim Pattison. 6th richest canadian.
The Sheffer King 12-Apr-2008 14:19
Kisses is reportedly in Savannah, GA for work at Thunderbolt Marine. 4/08
lesterP3 30-Mar-2008 01:12
Saw it docked at Victoria Harbour, Victoria B.C. Canada that is on March 22/08. That huge red and white Canadian Flag looks quite impressive.
forrest 29-Feb-2008 02:02
i saw it last summer and got a pic in front of it in Friday Harbor, WA (San Juan Islands)
gigi 20-Jan-2008 20:45
I just spotted Kisses in Marigot...what a beauty.
Majestic and graceful
Guest 13-Jan-2008 05:54
It is owned by the Bramans. I have had friends that have worked as crew on the yacht and worked on a yacht that often ported near it.
guest 05-Jan-2008 00:42
We spotted Kisses in December 2006 just before Christmas down in the British Virgin Islands. What a sight!!!

Cup A Jo 05-Nov-2007 05:37
Out with my wife at MDR fuel dock filling up our 38 footer right next to this awesome yacht.
She is incredible.
John De Carlo 29-Oct-2007 07:51
As of today 10-29-2007, Kisses still here in Marina del Rey, so surprised to see a craft like this here in LA vs Miami or Ft. Lauderdale. Got a couple of great shots while dock side.
Cherise 11-Oct-2007 23:05
Kisses is preparing to leave Marina Del Ray
Nancy 19-Sep-2007 17:10
Kisses is back in Friday Harbor, Washington -- wow, what a quick trip from So. Cal -- hope we'll see lots more of her around here!
Guest 10-Sep-2007 16:03
Saw the beautiful KISSES docked in Marina Del Rey, California.

I can see this yacht from my apartment< it"s still here in Marina del Rey
DL 02-Sep-2007 22:53
She was dwarfing a couple f Sunseekers that motored by this AM.
Joel 02-Sep-2007 06:03
Yep...We sailed past Kisses in Marina Del Rey today and it sat lofting about. "Someone" was doing arm curls in the top fly bridge as we went pasy. WOW...what a dingy!
Guest 31-Aug-2007 01:03
Now docked in Marina del Rey
Ed Garcia 29-Aug-2007 02:43

Kisses is anchored just off Monterey State Beach and her crew is spiffing her up. Tender is visible off the stern. 8/25/07 at 5:45 p.m.
Guest 23-Aug-2007 17:51
We spent the night in Portland across the pier from Kisses in our 25 foot "yacht". Visited with crew but did not meet owners. My husband had the privilege of casting off the lines as they left the next morning. I took great pictures of our "ships" together.
Guest 22-Aug-2007 16:35
She was in Portland, OR on Sunday, Aug 19 on the Willamette River.
GUEST 22-Aug-2007 14:22

Douglas 21-Aug-2007 05:08
Saw her outside the east basin at Astoria on Aug. 14 and headed downstream on the Columbia near Longview on Aug. 18
David 18-Aug-2007 03:38
Government Island is an island in the Columbia near the I205 bridge outside of Portland
john 17-Aug-2007 02:41
She is now at the harbor in Hood River, OR. A guest boarded but when asked the workers on the boat would not talk about who might own Kisses.
Guest 16-Aug-2007 21:13
She left Portland, Or for a few day trip up the Columbia Gorge. She'll be back down to Portland in 4 to 5 days.
Guest 16-Aug-2007 18:29
Shipped out mid morning 8/16 from Portland, sorry to see her go.
Sims 16-Aug-2007 03:44
Kisses has a full time crew of 12 that just traveled up the Alaskan coast and is docked in Downtowen Portland - what an amazing ship - not a speck of wear or tear on her.
Guest 15-Aug-2007 03:50
At anchor in Astoria, Oregon. 8/14/2007
ambitious girl 11-Aug-2007 02:29
Oprah isn't aboard this one. She is aboard a yacht owned by Jim Pattison, also a large one, called NOVA SPIRIT. It's 150 feet. KISSES is 175 feet.
yachtdreamer 11-Aug-2007 02:20
It's not Jim Pattisons. That's misinformation. It's Norman Braman's yacht. I saw him and his wife getting on an off of it when it was in Victoria. Crew also confirmed that it is based out of Miama, Norman's stomping grounds. He's a automobile tycoon down there, owning the largest chain of luxury automobile dealerships in Florida, and possibly the whole of the US. He's the Jimmy Pattison of Florida, essentially
ted 08-Aug-2007 18:38
Kisses is berthed at Ship's Point in Victoria in front of Empress Hotel.
Guest 08-Aug-2007 03:13
I spotted Kisses in Friday Harbor this evening, with only crew in sight
Adrienne 07-Aug-2007 16:43
Just saw the KISSES heading to the Ballard Locks from Lake Union. Sometimes I really do enjoy the view from my desk at work :O)
Guest 06-Aug-2007 06:33
According to a newspaper article it is owned by Jimmy Pattison
Guest 05-Aug-2007 16:39
I'm thinking it's Oprah Winfrey. PerezHilton.com recently reported Oprah was in BC. I don't think she and 50 cent are the closest of friends. My partner and I just saw the yacht docked on lake Union in Seattle. It's Beautiful!
Guest 31-Jul-2007 06:34
On an anniversary trip to Victoria, we saw the Kisses Yacht upclose, however no owner insight. They must have been inside this fabulous ship. It was breathtaking just to be near it. There were crowds around just admiring it. It was so huge, we could still see it from our hotel room which was across the harbour.
Guest 29-Jul-2007 03:54
Saw the Kisses at the Chittenden (Ballard) locks today in Seattle, WA going from the Puget Sound into Lake Union.
duchess 28-Jul-2007 06:31
Kisses in Victoria, B.C. inner harbour tonight 10:00 p.m. - various youngish adults trying to get a clue of who owned this yacht - guesses included 'Paris Hilton', 'Lindsey Lohan', and the best one of all 'fifty cent' to which the south african crew member tried hard not to laugh and said that he 'could guarantee fifty cent had never been on this yacht'. Several people onboard having what appeared to be a lovely dinner party.
Kuroshio Charters 26-Jul-2007 03:23
Hey Kisses pulled into Victoria BC around 4pm. Salmon fishing is good in Victoria this week.
david 26-Jul-2007 01:27
Arrived at Rosario, Eastsound Wa, at about 11am today 7-25-07 and departed around 2:30 pm same day.
Cathy (again) 24-Jul-2007 15:05
I'm ready to quit my job and just follow this darn "boat" around the world. I enjoy everyone's comments. Posted July 24.
Hot pursuit 24-Jul-2007 06:04
We met two men at the bar tonight who claimed to be Chef's aboard the kisses... They would divulge the owners info.. July 23, 2007
guest 24-Jul-2007 05:10
Tied to the dock in Friday Harbour, WA today. Spoke with nice South African crew member. Gave tips on keeping the handrails polished for 4 months! Look for them next in SanDiego
Guest 24-Jul-2007 02:14
Kisses is now sitting on the breakwater at the Port of Friday Harbor. Arrived today July 23rd.
Guest 18-Jul-2007 16:11
I saw it too, in False Creek, dumping raw sewage and chemical cleaners into the water.
Cathy 17-Jul-2007 21:57
Cathy (again)
I went to Google Images and entered Norman Braman's name and got a bunch of pictures. Tomorrow has to be a real work day. Posted 7/17/07
Louise 17-Jul-2007 17:52
We too enjoyed seeing the graceful Kisses in the False Creek Harbor but to put in perspective, it may be among the 30 largest yachts in North America - doesn't rank among top 200 in world - #1 may still be 525' Platinum owned recently by Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai.
Guest 16-Jul-2007 05:03
Does anyone know where any other photos can be found online? I would love to see some interior shots?

Norman Braman's yacht, confirmed by crew. Braman and wife were leaving the yacht (by Yellow Cab) headed to S. Granville Street...most likely to West to dine. Will be in Yaletown for "about a week".

Crew was very very nice. Sign up saying "private vessel, no boarding". Lots of various shoes in a wicker basket at the bottom of the stairs. Nice custom made rug at the bottom of the stairs saying "Kisses" (that no doubt many a Seabus passenger was trying not to walk over).

Sitting in Yaletown, Vancouver, BC at the Seabus stop (private dock by night).

All quiet on board, hot tub is full though!

Just spending a few days on Salt Spring Island and just witnessed the Kisses coming into Ganges Harbour on this Tuesday morning.

Mark,
I too can confirm this sighting in Victoria BC.
I was there from 7/5-8/ 2007 and actually got to speak briefly with one of the crew as he departed the ship. One question I asked was how big the staff (12) was aboard; the other questions I asked were already posted here.

My sisters and I spent our vacation time (week of 7/2/07 in Victoria hanging out the window of our B & B overlooking the harbor. Our goal was to catch a glimpse of activity on the kisses, am glad to know others are as inquiring as we are. Such beauty and expense is beyond belief. Posted 7/9/07.
Tracy 09-Jul-2007 06:10
Did some research, and saw the owners boarding and lounging this evening at Victoria Harbour --checked a photo of Norman Braman and it was indeed him, lighting a cigar on the balcany with his evening read! Must be nice to have such lux boat. One of the crewmen said it is worth between 50-60 million...
guest 04-Jul-2007 16:29
This immaculate ship arrived in Victoria harbour at 06:30 this morning. The harbour authority had to oust some poor fisherman off the pier to make room. Beautiful!
Guest 29-Jun-2007 22:37
Yup, it's owned by the Bramans. That fact was confirmed in Juneau this year.

6/27/07 it was in petersburg alaska ,the local gossips said it was gene simmons ,and some even say they saw him ,.small town news .

I just saw this beautiful boat a little ways from Juneau Alaska around June 20th. I decided to do a little research and see whose boat it is. I would never have expected for it to be so popular.
Guest 23-Jun-2007 12:37
I saw kisses downtown tonight sitting there. My friends had no idea what a 175' yacht would cost. After some talking to a few people, its confirmed as Norman Bramans boat. Prior to him buying it, it was being rented out. It will cruise the Inner Passage of Alaska before heading back down through BC again, and ending up in the carribean late this summer. I'm going to ask him for a tour later on today while I'm camped out next to it.
guest 07-Jun-2007 06:37
"Rumor " in Juneau is that Mel Gibson is the owner. Is there any possibility of that being true?
Deb 07-Jun-2007 06:32
It is setting in Juneau, Alaska now. Who is the ower of this fabulous thing?
