Two amazing yachts we wished we owned

Two amazing yachts we wished we owned

Supercars. I want them all. The new Triumph Bonneville. I want it. New York Penthouse. I want it. A Vacheron Constantin Patrimony. Yup, I want it. A date with Natalie Portman. Of course.

Unfortunately I drive a clapped-out Ford Fiesta. I sat on a Harley once, but I was wearing a bicycle helmet, so looked like a total moron – the uncoolest man to have ever ruined the biking image. I sleep in a shoebox in Clapham for an extortionate rent I can’t afford. I recently lost my swatch. And I’m single. Cry me a river.

Now I’m not looking for sympathy, but rather I’m trying to make a point that we can all have ambitions. However phantasmagorical they may be. And, as I’m sure you’ll agree, these two yachts – part of the Camper and Nicholsons’ portfolio – are right up there. I want them.

A chic monochrome decor creates a uniquely modern and elegant feel accentuated by a combination of dark oak, white onyx, silver leaf, and Lalique crystal that provide a sleek glossy finish. A magnificent central staircase unites all decks of which amenities include a state-of-the-art galley, fully-equipped gym and a variety of generous saloon and formal dining areas.

Outdoors, her fantastic sundeck follows the elegant Art Deco theme of the interior, playing host to an oval Jacuzzi pool lined with sunpads, all encompassed by glass windbreakers which protect from the wind yet still allow for the spectacular views. Several seating and al fresco dining areas are on offer as well as an armada of watertoys including jet skis and scuba diving equipment to form the ultimate charter yacht.
