World's Largest Cruise Ship Sets Sail
Royal Caribbean's record-setting $1.5 billion, 1200-foot-long, 16-deck-high, 220,000-ton, Tower-of-Babel-on-sea luxury cruiser has finally set sail from Finland to Miami. I hate to be the one to ask but, um, there aren't any icebergs on the way, right guys? More » -

Lila-Lou's Ankida Yacht Will Make You Long For A Journey
I don't even want to imagine what the price tag for Lila-Lou's finely-tuned Ankida yacht will be. I just want to lay on the deck and watch the wind hit those optimally-positioned sails as I drift around the world. More » -

This Is My Dream House, Except It's Not a House
I want to live here. Spacious, sunny apartment, hard wood floors, glass and steel. Except that this is not an apartment. It's not even a building. It's the strangest yacht I've seen, as these pretty shots show: More » -

$1.2 Billion Russian Yacht Comes Equipped With Laser-Powered Anti-Paparazzi Shield
Famed Russian yacht-fanatic Roman Abramovich added a new feature to his 557-foot, $1.2 billion monstrosity, Eclipse: A laser shield that sweeps the boat's surroundings for paparazzi and then fires a bolt of light at the camera to destroy any photo. More » -

Inspired By Cars, the 125m 7Cs Superyacht Is Another Boat You'll Never Own
A couple of uber rich playboys from DriveDesign, not content with their dominance over the land, have taken to the high seas with this slick, modern take on the yacht—complete with pool, double staircase and borderline offensive opulence, standard. More » -

Infintas Yacht Spoils You For Life On Land With Three Levels of Luxury
Pool deck, helicopter pad...elevator? I guess that when you own a 300 foot monument to phallic imagery like this, taking stairs just won't do the trick. (Nor would walking around the pool apparently, since there's a bridge over it.) More » -

Code-X Yacht Will Have Two Kinds of Power: Super Clean and Oh So Dirty
There's a real company promoting a not-so-real poweryacht called the Code-X. The differentiator—or "thing that's supposed to land a billionaire customer"—is that the boat will have two Formula 1 engines and two solar-powered electric ones. More » -

Russian Billionaire Floats Above Economy In $350 Million Mega Yacht
Ironically, even in this economy, the title of world's largest yacht lasted less than a month, as Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich finally launched his record-setting 557-ft. megayacht "Eclipse" in Hamburg, Germany. More » -

C-Stream Concept Takes 'F-You, Common Man' And Turns It Into a Yacht

Eden Speedboat Puts the Wood Back in Yachting
It may sound counterintuitive, but the futuristic 38-ton, 72-foot speedboat design known as Eden calls for wood as a main building material. As you can tell from the pictures, the boat wouldn't be a full-on woody: Much of the hull itself would be crafted in carbon fiber, and sweeping one-piece glass windshield to complete the design scheme.

Chelsea Football Club Owner Building $400 Million Mega-Yacht with Submarine, Missile Defenses
Russian billionaire and Chelsea soccer club owner Roman Abramovich is building a $400 million mega-yacht. Yawn, you say? You have two? OK, well, this yacht has its own submarine. And armor plating with bulletproof glass. And little boats that fit inside the bigger boat. And a frickin' missile defense system that will alert he and his crew of 70 former SAS soldiers that there be pirates in those waters. It should be noted that Abramovich's other yachts—the 377 ft. Pelorus, 282ft Ecstasea and 160ft Sussurro—all pale in comparison to the 550 ft. Eclipse, and do not include missile detection systems. You can never be too safe, right? More » -

Project GreenJet is the Next Step Towards Fully Automated Sailing Yachts
Gizmag has an epic feature about the evolution of sailing that's focused around Project GreenJet—a huge, 57-meter sailing yacht that can be controlled by one man and a touchscreen. The designer, Erik Sifrer, based the design for the 57-meter Project GreenJet around his earlier SY120 Yacht that functions in a similar manner. Only this time, it's bigger, faster and more advanced.

Gigayacht Actually More Like a Freaking Personal Floating Island
How big and disgustingly opulent does a yacht have to be to be considered a private island? This big and disgusting. Gizmag has a piece today on Wally's luxury yachts and their 325 foot flagship. While Paul Allen's Octopus is bigger at 410 feet, the Wally Gigayacht can be oufitted, with pools, tennis courts, mini soccer fields, or the garden you see above. And of course, room for 40 crew, 24 guests, a helipad, and two 45-foot speedboats that deploy out the back, powered by the blood of the poor. [Gizmag]
