The firms displayed a real size model of the 125 sq ft wide vessel in Ancona, Italy, recently.

Its width is two thirds its length of 190 ft. So it looks like a yacht chipped off on its latter half.

Its back has a 30 metre beach! Naval architect Mauro Sculii feels its strange dimensions give it stability. WHY is built on three decks, has a swimming pool on the bow, and a helipad.

A salon with a cinema, a music room, a library and a dining room that opens on to the sea apart, its owner will have a 200-square-metre suite covering all of third floor and a private terrace. It can house 12 guests in five suites, 20 member crew, has three large sky lights and 300 square metres of windows.

For the eco-conscious, it will also have a low consumption LED lighting system and solar panels on its roof and sides to cut fuel, and an in-built waste management system.

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.

The Riva 86’ Domino luxury yacht is done up in leather and the furniture upholstered in fine leather. The dominant metallic hue of the yacht gives it a subtle beauty that isn’t very shimmery. For anyone who has the dough, the 34 knot speed yacht is also done up in all the luxurious amenities necessary in this world of comfort.

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.

23.5ft long and powered with a 425PS V* engine, the 686 Lido Dino Feltrinelli also features a windshield which adjusts height automatically depending upon the speed. Only 9 of these luxury yachts have been made but there is no information about the pricing yet.

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.

An oculus is the blowhole on top of a whale’s head by the help of which the mammal breathes and remains submerged underwater. However, there is no account of the Oculus being able to perform a nose dive.

Sunseeker yachts have become an integral part of the Bond tradition now as Her Majesty’s best is not just making a habit of endorsing the best cars on land but also the most luxurious stuff that threads the oceans of the world. That is exactly why you not only have the most luxurious and lavish yacht in the form of the Sunseeker Predator 82 Locean, but very likely we will see another Sunseeker make its debut with the upcoming bond flick.

The 82-foot yacht has four cabins and is outfitted with Caterpillar diesel engines. The yacht includes a KVH G8 Satellite TV system with a 42 inch plasma television in the master cabin.
