I want it. I recently got the yacht (which for my first ship, was probably a mistake. But it's done.)
I have a few questions about it, or rather, how I should go about getting it. Of the two costs (80,000 whispered hints, or 50 bazaar permits), which should I go for? The bazaar permits, speaking in raw material, is the cheaper option, however, I do have 23K whispered hints saved up (from prior grinding with the goal of the premises).
Even assuming I switch and go for the bazaar permits option, which WAY of getting them would be best? I'm unlikely to steal them: shadowy is my worst quality. Grinding for honey in the unfinished business in veilgardens would be my go-to, but should I save favors, upconvert them all the way to touching love stories, and permits from there? Or just do the basic price that's at the sidestreets?
Sorry about all this, normally I don't sweat the small details, but this is going to be an even larger undertaking than the yacht, and I don't want to do it in a way that creates even more work for me.

The method I used was gaining Dramatic Tension by Searching for a Missing Woman At Wilmont’s End and trading it in via a Rival in Power at the Treasures of War option. Took me a week.

My chosen method to acquire Permits for this purpose was heists.
I'm the same as you, Shadowy is my worst stat - back then it was even far below 100 and I became a PoSI with a bunch of items - so thefts didn't work very well for me. Now, I don't know how efficient it is in term of numbers, but my strategy was do Well-Planned Villainy twice then get three Inside Information with the surplus Casing before starting each heist. Forgot how long it took me, though. While I mainly ground permits I also got distracted by other things in between lol
Heists also give MW, which I really appreciated since I also needed Notability for the upgrade at the Wicket. It's also fun, which is completely subjective, but I know I would've been frustrated if I had to grind hints or honey.

One flaw in Chrona's analysis: exchanging love stories for permits gives 5 permits, not 2: http://fallenlondon.wikia.com/wiki/A_rare_business This seems to imply that the PPA (permit per action) rate is better than initially suggested.
It also bears mentioning that there is a third option everyone here is overlooking: grinding permits in Polythreme using the "Fascinating..." cycle there.
