Hot Holiday Charter: The World's Coolest New Superyacht for $1 Million / Month

Looking for something extra special to do for the holidays? For $1 million per month you can now charter the world's coolest new superyacht, the 164-ft. Exuma, in the South Pacific. As my colleague Noah Joseph reported in July when the sleek ship was first launched, the Exuma is the first motoryacht from famed Maltese Falcon builders Perini Navi. The aluminum-hulled yacht, which can accommodate ten guests in five luxurious staterooms, was just awarded the Rina Green Plus Platinum certificate in recognition of her proven commitment to environmental excellence, as well as the Most Innovative Yacht of the Year award at the 2010 World Yacht Trophy; she also took home top honors at the 2010 Nautical Design Awards. Interior furnishings for the beautiful craft were designed by Perini Navi's in-house team with a focus on classic maritime style, using oak, teak and Italian marble. The sleek ship has a range of 5,500 nautical miles at 12 knots and comes equipped with a fully customized 16.4 ft. amphibious vehicle and a 12 ft. hovercraft housed in two tender garages with gull-wing doors.

Couples Retreat, the new Vince Vaughn - Jon Favreau comedy that's big at the box office, stars a number of talented actors but they had to work hard not to be upstaged by the beautiful location - the St. Regis Bora Bora in the South Pacific. The lush resort, a favorite celebrity getaway since it opened in 2006 - Nicole Kidman and Keith honeymooned there while Eva Longoria and Tony Parker and others have enjoyed its tropical splendors - is offering an exclusive Couples Retreat package celebrating the film's opening and continuing through May 31, 2010. The package offers guests a four or five night stay in a Premiere Overwater Villa where Vaughn, Favreau, Malin Akerman, Kristen Davis, Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell's characters stay in the movie, as well as other experiences seen on the big screen including couples yoga on the lush 44-acre property's pristine beaches, massages at its world class Spa Miri Miri, outrigger canoe lessons, a jet ski tour in the lagoon's pristine crystal waters, and dinner at Lagoon, the St. Regis Bora Bora's Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant.
