Own a yacht; call it a boat. Above all make sure it's not "just" a boat, but more a somewhat understated luxury playground on the seas. Yachting has a been the sport of the rich, famous, and powerful for years, and yes... you need to be in the game. The Move is to have a very very nice Yacht that can be handled by a single person -- so get the biggest one you can get that you can take out by yourself with a business associate. This automatically reduces your associate to a crew member to be ordered around as you see fit -- a great tactic to get the upper-hand in negotiations of any kind.
A couple of notes on your yacht. It needs to be much faster than expected, have at least three full-sized bedrooms, and naming it important. It can not be named anything to do with money; names like "Greed is Good" were funny back in the 1980s, but the classic Move is to name it something subtle that only makes sense after you explain it to them. Beoaty is very funny, but questionable (say it again slowly, and you'll get it -- B.O.A.T.).
It's important for this luxury cruiser to have all the latest technical amenities on board, such as the top of the line marine GPS and on-board satellite internet access. This includes a couple of wave-runners, voice radio equipped diving gear, and mobile phone hotspots so that you can enjoy yourself in a manner befitting someone who has mastered the oceans.
The ultimate Move on top of this Move is to have an even bigger yacht that requires a full-time captain and crew. You don't mention this up-front, but after you have played around on the "boat" for a while, it's nice to park next to the mother-ship and have a refined dinner followed by a dip in the pool while the crew services the little boat.
