Yacht enthusiasts, rejoice, and not only because you make enough money to be a yacht enthusiast. The Aviation and Superyacht division of Pure-Sang, in cooperation with Glass-Deco International, introduced its latest luxury vehicle, The Beluga: Emperor of the Seven Seas, at last month’s Monaco boat show, where it won the title of “Best New Super Yacht Concept.”

Designed under the supervision of Will Erens, The Beluga is a marvel, with a distinctive appearance that is at once organic and futuristic. It features a prominent front deck, complete with bar and swimming pool, making it perfect for entertaining guests.

It certainly got the impression of the yachting community; the company is in talks with a major Dutch manufacturer to produce the model. However, unless you’ve recently inherited a fortune or started the next Facebook, good luck coughing up the $200 million  will cost you.

The 86 foot Domino is the latest model from luxury yacht builder Riva. Currently on display at the Cannes Boat Show, the Domino is an evolution of Riva’s smaller Vertigo and Ego Super models, both of which share the sleek profile, tinted expanses of glass, and dark titanium coloring. At the bow of the boat, a sundeck and sunken dining table accommodate passengers, while an additional sundeck, integrated seating, and teak deck occupy the rear. The main living space can be fully opened onto the rear deck via a sliding glass panel. The interior features modern furnishings, exotic wood, and ample windows to maintain an open atmosphere. Twin 2435 horsepower diesel engines allow the Domino to comfortably reach a top speed of 38 knots. The copious power paired with a luxurious interior make the Domino an ideal choice for either weekend jaunts or long term travel.

Built by Perini Navi and intended for the mega-rich, this classic styled sailing superyacht comes with a revolutionary sailing system dubbed DynaRig. It includes three self-standing and rotating masts that host 15 sails making for a total sail area of 25,791 sq ft. Unrivaled when it comes to performance, maneuverability and record-shattering speed, the Maltese Falcon can cross the Atlantic crossings in ten days by reaching impressive top speeds of up to 21 knots. Hence why it won the Perini Navi Cup, the world’s most exclusive regatta race.

For those few, and us dreamers, Austrian boat builders Frauscher rely on their engineering and craftsmanship, using superior materials to create the ultimate in floating luxury. While the St. Tropez does boast gorgeous deck wood and sumptuous hand-stitched leather, its truly unique feature is the hybrid engine that makes it the first luxury yacht to go green. It’s definitely not going to earn you any points with Greenpeace, but it helps us sleep easier at night.
