This floatable flying saucer rests directly on the water, halfway submerged, and has enough room inside for James Bond to get busy with Major Anya Amasova. The reference to Bond girl Barbara Bach is not random: French naval architect Jean-Michel Ducancelle took his inspiration for the Anthenea from The Spy Who Loved Me.
The 172-square-foot vessel includes sectional seating, a Bang & Olufsen stereo system, Panasonic flat panel LCD, and cordless phone, microwave, the works. The catch, as far as I can tell, is that it doesn’t go anywhere—unless you poke a sail through one of the portal windows on top. Think of it as a high-end personal floatation device.
MSRP $128,000, eBay price $10,000+, Craigslist LA catch o’ the day price $5,000.
