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]

First Fearless Porsche Yacht

Porsche Design and Miami-based boat maker Fearless have teamed up to build a yacht that makes a 911 look like a tonka truck. And, it's a lot prettier than the other superboat we've been gawking at. The $300K fiberglass-hulled boat is 28-feet long, and powered strangely enough by a 525-hp Dodge Viper engine. (What, no 911 Turbo powerplant?) More »

Extreme SuperYacht of the Future: Ready to Build Today

It's not the fastest yacht in the world, but close to it, and rarely do such speedy boats boast such spectacular luxury. Its creator, Craig Loomis Design, has already built similar yachts, one that's almost like this except 75 feet long. More »
