A handbags and silk scarves major ventures into something really unlikely – luxury yachts! Hermes, the French company has tied up with Monaco-based ship-builder Wally to create ‘WHY 58×38,’ a yacht costing not less than £90 million to make.
The firms displayed a real size model of the 125 sq ft wide vessel in Ancona, Italy, recently.

It is only an elite few that have the riches to truly enjoy the beauty of nature. After all, not all of us have the luxury of going out in their yacht and sail over clear blue seas and feel the wind in our hair. Italian yacht maker Riva doesn’t just make yachts, the company is known for their uber beautiful yachts.
Riva’s latest model is the 86’ Domino and the 26 meter yacht is the materialisation of luxury. The luxury yacht has a spacious deck for sunbathing and partying and includes a dining area designed for 6. The deck leads to the upper deckhouse which includes the living area with master cabin. Apart from the VIP cabin, the yacht also houses two twin-bedded guest cabins.

If you had enough money then you would undoubtedly own a yacht for even those who do not live anywhere near water bodies or have any skill when it comes to sailing still desire to own one. Yachts are not just beautiful creations; they also herald the entry into the realm of the in-people.
Frauscher has been known for quite some time as the king of yacht makers. Their latest product is the 686 Lido Dino Feltrinelli, lauched in celebration of the quarter century collaboration between Frauscher and Feltrinelli. Hte title of the yacht would surely remind you of the 2007 686 Lido after which it is named and perhaps designed as well. The 686 Lido Dino Feltrinelli becomes a special creation of the company and even had the prestige of debuting at the 40th international boat show at Dusseldorf. Designed by Annette Hintwirth, the 686 Lido Dino Feltrinelli includes 360degree swivelling chairs so everyone can enjoy the panoramic view, electrical connection hidden away in the floor, and height adjustable tables. The interiors reek of luxury, including the eight seats upholstered with genuine waterproof leather.

The concept of whaling may lead to heated disputes between different countries and animal rights activists. It is as yet unclear to me on which side of the battle this massive luxury yacht modelled after a whale is fighting on.
The Oculus designed by E. Kevin Schöpfer is a massive luxury yacht stretching to 250 feet in length. The Oculus is indeed meant for only an elite group since it can accommodate only 12 guests at a time. It includes a main salon, cylindrical dining room, central stair and elevator tube with 12 foot ceilings in a design that can blow your mind off. Extravagantly done, the interior decor reeks of comfort beyond luxury. The concept yacht can hit speeds of 25 knots but putting the decadently rich design aside, the most fascinating aspect of the Oculus is the fact that the backside of the yacht can open up resembling the hungry jaws of a whale.
