The worlds of the uber-rich are envious places indeed. Able to cruise the roads in the quickest of automobiles, soar the skies in the most luxurious airlines and sail the seas in what can only be described as floating palaces, the world’s elite live lives far removed from you and I.
For a glimpse into how the rich sail from continent to continent, here are some of the most extravagant yachts in the world for your viewing pleasure.
ANASTASIA
Measuring in at 75m long, Anastasia is a dominant vessel. She was designed by the esteemed Sam Sorgiovanni back in 2008 and is favoured by the adventurous types thanks to her large collection of water sports equipment included on board. A bargain then, really.

SERENE
In terms of size and all-out opulence, Serene may just win hands down. With 134 metres of pure luxury, including a full-blown swimming pool, jacuzzi and numerous bedrooms, its perhaps the ultimate party destination.

CHRISTINA O
Christina O is somewhat of a legend of the seas. Favourited by the likes of John F. Kennedy, Sir Winston Churchill, Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe, we can only imagine what kinds of stories this vessel could tell.

SUPERYACHT ASTRADA
This is quite simply a yacht like no other. A true spectacle, Astrada looks like something straight out of a James Bond film with its unique design and highly complex technology. It can happily cruise at between 17-20 knots, and its twin outriggers unsure a smooth ride, meaning it’s as luxurious as any.

ALFA NERO
Built by renowned yacht builder’s Oceanco, Alfa Nero is at once striking and elegant in design. Featuring a contrasting black and white exterior, and a three-tier deck suitable for all manner of after-dark parties.
