Filed under: Yachts & Sailing, Celebrity Shopping, Wealth

Famed director Steven Spielberg was recently spotted in St. Barth's and St. Maarten on his new $200 million megayacht, the Seven Seas (pictured above), a stylish 282-footer fitted with every imaginable luxury.

Built by Dutch shipyard Oceanco to the Hollywood mogul's specifications, it has a sophisticated interior design scheme with acres of walnut, teak and rosewood. Its most impressive feature is an infinity pool with a 15-ft. glass wall that doubles as a cinema screen so Spielberg and his guests can view movies while swimming or lounging poolside.

World's Fastest Open Superyacht for $40 Million

The awesome $50 million Mangusta 165 superyacht that Sting was spotting playing around on the other day is currently the world's largest open yacht as well as one of the fastest. By 2013 however Italy's AB Yachts plans to produce one just as big that's not only less expensive but a hell of a lot faster. The AB166 (above), which has been listed for sale via global online luxury marketplace JamesList for about $40 million, will be capable of a neck-snapping 48 knots. The 166 gets its eye-popping power from not two but three engines – MTU M93L's delivering 4,600 hp each for a total of 13,800 hp, along with AB's signature water jet propulsion system. The spacious, ingeniously-arranged interior offers five luxurious en suite guest cabins with the owner's suite lording over all with two balconies and exclusive access to a private pool area at the front of the yacht. Five crew cabins make up the service accommodation. Check out the gallery for renderings.

New 463-ft. 'Dream Ship' Will Be World's Largest Sailing Superyacht

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing

The incredible 289-ft. Maltese Falcon is still the world's largest, best designed, and most expensive sailing yacht - but not for much longer. Turkish yachtbuilder Dream Ship Victory just signed a contract with the same team that designed the Maltese – naval architects Dykstra & Partners and Ken Freivokh Design – on a new 463-ft. sailing superyacht (above) that will literally dwarf the competition and become one of the largest yachts in the world. Unlike the Maltese however the new Dream Ship will be constructed entirely of wood, and will boast four masts to the Falcon's three. An initial concept of the new behemoth, which features an Art Deco-inspired streamlined design, was presented at the Monaco Yacht Show on the Dykstra & Partners stand and construction is slated to begin in 2011.

Strand Craft Yacht & Supercar for Sale at $27.5 Million

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing, Luxury Cars & Autos, Architecture & Design

The Strand Craft 122 superyacht / supercar combo we first told you about back in May has moved beyond the concept stage into a production-ready rocketship. The first example has just been listed for sale by Sweden's Gray Design via global online luxury marketplace JamesList for about $27.5 million, with a slated delivery date of October 2013. The sleek 125-ft. craft will be able to reach a top speed of 55 knots with the use of her optional Rolls-Royce KaMeWa boosters kicking out over 14,000 hp. High gloss mahogany inlays on the foredeck and all-glass atrium covering the cockpit deliver the best facets of both open and closed yachting in one razor sharp high-tech package.

The retro-futuristic Art Deco interior features four large, bedrooms, reception and leather-upholstered salon areas alongside comfortable crew cabins. Elliptical bulletproof windows that stretch halfway across the hull and enough Greek marble to recreate Athens round out the fancy finishes. The specially handcrafted carbon fiber supercar that comes with it is a completely one-off design closely resembling the genetic form and fashion of the mothership. With a rear mounted, 880hp twin-turbo V12 engine it has an estimated 375 km/h top speed and a 0-60 mph time of 3.2 seconds. A hydraulic garage door raises upwards and deploys a retractable ramp to become a dockside driveway.

Largest Yacht Ever Built in Italy Knocks Paul Allen Off the Top 10

Billionaire Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen no longer owns one of the world's 10 largest yachts thanks to the just-launched Serene (above) from Fincantieri. At just under 440 ft. Serene is the largest yacht ever built in Italy, and enters the list of the world's largest yachts at No. 9, according to Camper & Nicholsons – just behind the floating brothel Savarona. That knocks Allen's famed 414-ft. Octopus out of the top 10 altogether (No. 1 of course is still, by a mere 18 inches, Roman Abramovich's Eclipse). The billionaire buyer of Serene is unknown. Designed by Espen Oeino, the Serene, which took four years to complete, has seven decks, a tender hangar and two helipads. The high-tech megayacht features a large seawater swimming pool and a submarine with a diving depth of up to 100 metres. The 4,500 square meter interior boasts super-luxe accommodations and entertaining spaces designed by Pascale Reymond of London's Reymond Langton Design.

From the Giancarlo Zema Design Group (the same folks that brought us the Jellyfish 45) comes this exciting yacht, the Poseidon 180 being developed by Bugatti Yachts. The 180-foot yacht has floating decks under a giant glass dome. It has eight staterooms that offer panoramic ocean views. The yacht uses Bugatti Marine engines that can hit 40 knots. The price is $50 million and it looks to be just a design at this point, still, what a design it is. Check out the pictures after the jump for more looks at this unique vessel.

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing

Those who appreciate the particular brand of yacht hotness embodies by the Wally Power yachts will probably love this brand new design project developed by Philippe Briand and Lürssen Yachts. The 180-foot Vitruvius is made of Alustar, a material stronger than aluminum.The yacht can hit top speeds of more than 20 knots and cruises at 18 knots while using half as much fuel as a conventional yacht of the same size. The owner's suite is located midship and spans the width of the yacht. The boat can host 10 guests and the aft platform features a sunbathing area and plunge pool. Yachtfourms has more pictures of the design.
