Sitting inside BIG BOAT MKE HQ today, staring out into the great abyss that is Lake Michigan, I had to do a double take.

Is that? Huh? ANOTHER SUPERYACHT?!

Sure enough, sitting right where the tall ship Dennis Sullivan is usually moored, lies the $40 million Seaquest!

Earlier this year, our boat blog blew up when a yacht once believed to have been taken for rides by Beyonce and J-Z anchored here for a few weeks.

A closer investigation found that the power couple was not on the Jamaica Bay.

Get ready for some NEW MILWAUKEE YACHT DRAMA.

The Seaquest may not be owned by music moguls, but the owners certainly can be considered a power couple in their own right.

The Seaquest is owned by Dick and Betsy DeVos.

Dick DeVos is the son of the co-founder of Amway (which sells nutrition, beauty, home products and more). But lately it is Betsy who has been making all the headlines as the current US secretary of education.

The couple is worth billions, and have a fleet of private jets and yachts. It begs the question, what in the world is the Seaquest doing in Milwaukee?

A quick glance at the DeVos’ schedule shows she just wrapped up her “Rethink school” campaign.

The education tour brought her through Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and Indiana. Those are all tough places to sail your yacht around. DeVos ended her trip Friday night in Gary, Indiana.

Did DeVos then make a relatively short drive to Milwaukee to meet up with her beloved yacht to “Rethink school” as she stares at the Calatrava? It’s possible.

Is it actually her husband who is in town on business or pleasure? Could be.

Or maybe the DeVos’ aren’t using the Seaquest at all letting friends or strangers rent the boat out to sail around the great lakes.

One thing is for sure. We have another BIG BOAT MYSTERY on our hands folks. In the meantime I will stare longingly at what life must be like for the super rich on their fancy boats.
