tTose looks pretty futuristic, I'm sure they'll have no problem selling the newest, hottest, expensive item for all the celebs to have.

That looks cheesy.

If I was to have a super yacht, I would not want it to look like a Moby Dick theme park ride.

Oculus is a little silly, infnits looks nice.
interior design on both yachts are pretty cool though.

Swimming in a body of water that is contained on some machine that is sitting on an entirely separate body of water?

Infinitas looks like a schlong. Just needs a pair of little balls tethered to the end to complete it.

Yeah, they are funny looking... but if I was in Monaco (probably the only place you're likely to see something like this) and I saw one of these ships...

My pants would explode. That shit is fire.:trogdor:

i think most of the people that hate the design are just broken on the inside that theyll never own one.

these are for wealthy people who shit money like its nothing.

i doubt any celeb could ever afford something like this without selling everything they own and going into debt.

having shit like this is the epitome of baller status.

you really would have to be kinda of a big deal to make a recreational purchase like this.
Your 'run-of-the-mill' sports/movie celeb might make $20 mil/annual, if they're doing good.
That's like someone making 20k, wanting to buy a 95k, or 140k car.
Not like to you put that 95 million on the credit card.

I can't quite figure out how the Infinitas would be seaworthy in anything other than very calm waters.

The low waterline at the pool area and stern would be nasty in high swells.




I'll take a WallyPower 118:

In the land of billionaires I'd prefer the carbon fiber Wally as well. It'd go well with an exposed carbon fiber Pagani Zonda.

Built for Tom Perkins (venture capitalist). He sold it for ~$100MM to someone who apparently likes to stay out of the news, as I never could find the name.

I'd definitely take the 'no-nonsense' maltese falcon over the others.
