Luxury yachts come in all shapes and sizes, although 'tugboat' is not usually one of them. The Ariete Primo is an exception to that rule, however, as she looks like an old fashioned tugboat on the outside but sports all the expected amenities and luxury of a yacht on the inside. First launched back in 1967 the Ariete Primo was bought by her current owners in 2004 and it was at that point that she was upgraded to luxury status. Features include a chromo and aromatherapy spa, whirlpool, hamman, gym, and of course gorgeous and roomy living and dining quarters (see the gallery below). The Ariete Primo is available for charter from March - September for €110,000-€120,000. Truly an opportunity to enjoy the open seas in unique, personality-flaunting style.
