The "yacht/limo charger" is a real thing. With the M8 (and the M9 it seems) you get a thing you can plug into a car lighter socket to recharge your batteries. It's a useful thing - even in remote places with no fixed power supply it's quite likely that there will be a car or Land Cruiser or suchlike around. I don't know if yacht's have such things though.
