I become a PoSI today, and I have immediately begun the process of buying a ship. However, once I reached the part for picking ships, a small question arose in my mind: Are all ships suited for travelling in the Zee? I know this is quite a stupid question, but it seemed weird to me that a ship such as a yacht could travel to Polythreme. I'm sorry if the answer is painfully obvious.
Thanks in advance.

It's worth nothing that, when we're talking about a yacht, we're not talking about a small sailing vessel to fit a couple of people. We're talking very large motor-yachts, with full crews, of the kind that - though built for private pleasure-sailing - were often sold on for commercial or even military use during their lifetimes. See this interesting record, including scans of an original catalogue.

Go near Polythreme and there's a card where another ship tries to hit on your yacht. So clearly the yacht is the most sexy of the ships.

"on average it'll take five attempts of the challenge to get the yacht"

You can go everywhere with all the ships! All ships have special cards and special options on normal zee cards, but they don't affect where you can and cannot go.

That said, as all ships can travel anywhere, as a new POSI you may prefer to first buy the Tramp Steamer before venturing into one of the more expensive ships. The grinds for the zubmarine and yacht are quite lengthy.

I think you should just get whatever ship you like the most. The way I see it, the most awesome one by far is the Zubmarine.

There is a mechanical difference between the ships, just so you are aware. If you are interested in increasing your Notability, the Majestic Pleasure Yacht will increase your BDR (combined Bizarre - Dreaded - Respectable) score by +2 adverse to +1 for the Zub. This will make it easier for you to increase your Notability each time because you don't need as many levels of Making Waves.
