Sometimes, yacht owners can be funny. Take a look at this guy Dave Ritchie. He not only had the opportunity in his life to be one of the biggest guys in the Yacht industry but also had one of the best yachts ever manufactured.
He is now selling it, because he is tired o0f it! Dave Ritchie, co-founder of Vancouver-based Ritchie Bros has decided that it is time to put the 220-foot luxury mega yacht, Apoise under the hammer at Ritchie Bros. auction in Grand Cayman. It would take place on the 30th of March and being the 89th largest yacht in the world, it certainly is beautiful. The Apoise comes with an outdoor Jacuzzi and can cruise at a speed of 14 knots.

Did it ever cross your mind that there would come a time when people will be able to take a ride through the bottom of the ocean? This idea has now been materialized! Richard Branson has now launched his very own underwater plane!
Does it ring a bell? Well an underwater plane does everything that an aircraft does, but in case of the former the medium is different, its water. The billionaire has christened the underwater plane “Necker Nymph”.

Just when you think that you have seen it all, it suddenly hits you, you have not seen anything yet! The biggest of the big is here, Emocean yacht design has revealed an interpretation of the mammoth 200 meter yacht! This Belgium based firm has just come up with the depiction of the enormous yacht, which is very difficult to imagine as it might not even fit in our thoughts!
If this yacht is ever constructed then it certainly would outstrip the Roman Abramovich and will become the biggest yacht of the recent times. Now comes the time to talk about its features, (be prepared to be swept off your feet)this sea leviathan will have a helipad along with a hanger, a drive in garage , two 30 meter day boats,10 VIP rooms,22 guest suites and all the luxuries you can think of.

When people talk about watches, the first thing that comes to their minds is the Rolex. Rolex is one of the most exclusive and luxurious watches that you could lay your filthy hands on. While the watch is famous all around the world, it is more popular for its look and its elegance. However, it turns even Rolex can go wrong sometimes.
Here is one by the famous watch company that costs $46,000 and looks like crap. The world’s ugliest Rolex comes with a custom leopard print diamond and sapphire Cosmograph Daytona. It is now being auctioned off for $46,000. 18k yellow gold case with 36 baguette cognac sapphires, 48 diamonds and leopard print dial are some of the goodies that you would get with this incredibly ugly watch.

Think about rappers and hip hop stars, we imagine obscenely rich and tasteless lifestyles. While I am not really a fan of hip hop, it makes me wonder sometimes why they have to flaunt their wealth so much that it is not even funny anymore! Most gangsta singers have this knack of using their money to buy the most hideous stuff ever. This time around, P Diddy has bought his underage son a £300,000 Maybach for his 16th birthday.
The kid does not have a driving license yet and his son Justin Dior will surely not like it. Maybach is one of the stupidest cars that you could buy for a kid, and moreover, it is tasteless and disappointing. Even Auto Blog has noted that Maybach is one of the most disappointing and pointless luxury cars in the market.

If there is anyone that has mastered the act of recycling, then it has to be the Dutch company, Hotelsuites.nl. Did it ever occur to you that what you perceive now (in the pictures) is not a hotel suite, but a plane?? This is a 1960, former East German government Aircraft, which has been transformed into a full fledged hotel suite by Hotelsuite.in , is grounded at Teuge Airport.
This, once 120 seater plane, now has strikingly plush and modish interiors, which are no less than that of a hotel suite. It has a luminescent sauna, a Jacuzzi, flat screen players, a small thermal spa, bath tubs with a ‘peep out’ window and everything that you may need to spin your life right away!

One of the biggest lies constructed by the society is the institution of marriage and also the system of engagement ceremonies. It is good business really, with many people spending hundreds to thousands of dollars for that “special” proposal. It is one of those silly customs that people follow religiously only to realize later that the engagement was probably a bad decision, and if they were unlucky enough to proceed towards marriage, that proposal was a death knell.
However, since the demand for that “special proposal” will never cease to end, hotels, and jewellers are always coming up with creative ideas to fool people into getting married. One such creative business venture is the $10,000 Proposal Martini, which has been put forward by Algonquin Hotel. It is the most expensive martini ever, for it comes with that annoying diamond ring in it served by a waiter who wears white gloves at the hotel’s famous Blue Bar.

Pittsburgh Luxury Cruises is a new company that will launch a cool dinner-cruising party yacht called Fantasy. It comes with a tasteful black and gold trim, and would take your breath away. Capt. Mark Schiller’s wife would be the president of this yacht, and it would cruise around Pittsburgh.
He was inspired when he saw his pregnant wife greet him after a windy and stormy sail through the sea. This yacht could just be the place where you could cruise around Pittsburgh and have a great dinner party. There is no information about how much the cruise might cost, but considering it is a cool yacht, we can expect it to be quite expensive.

Yachts are an expensive affair and it is not a new thing to learn that. However, many people make uninformed decisions when they choose to buy a yacht. Luxury yachts need a lot of maintenance and the maintenance in a given year may sometimes cost more than the original price of the yacht.
With that being the case, you would need to calculate always how much it might cost to maintain it for the rest of the year, if you already have a yacht. Instead of making wild guesses, you could take a look at the Luxury Yacht Group Annual Cost Calculator which helps you predict annual operating costs. They specialize in 80-300 feet yachts and the calculations and predictions would be emailed to you or printed and sent. Read More
