outrageous yachtsWhen a book is called Outrageous Yachts it has a lot to live up to. The latest publication from Vendome Press celebrates some of the world's most lavishly decadent floating palaces. The book features luxury yachts that are special for one reason or another, for beauty, speed, technological advancement and more. The book includes the classically extravagant Christina O which was owned by Aristotle Onassis as well as more modern beauties like the Maltese Falcon and the 118 WallyPower. The book profiles 21 yachts in detail with gorgeous color photographs of the exterior and interior of each yacht both close up and from a distance. Outrageous Yachts provides information about the yachts' builders and designers.

The Haida G Is For Sale

Filed under: Water

One of our favorite vintage yachts, the 218-foot Haida G is for sale. The yacht, which was originally built in 1929 and was restored to its former glory a few years ago. It has seven cabins, a library and a charming main salon. Modern touches include a padded sundeck area with a Jacuzzi. The Haida G has been chartered for a few years (at 245,000 euros per week). The yacht's white and bright cottage-like design is a world away from the glossy wood and muted neutrals seen in most luxury yachts. She is selling for 28 million euros. More pictures after the jump.
