15 June 2009 No Comment

Its not just about the mega and super yachts offering that offer utmost luxury to its guests/ owners, its the yacht toys which really defines the personality and dynamic nature of the owner of the magnicifient beauty.

And believe you me its not just the jet skis and speed boats that we are talking about from mini submarines to helicopters, yacht toys have come a long way in terms of technology, size, price and entertainment value.

Below are a list of some of the top yacht owning personalities of the world who have indulged themselves into exclusive yacht toys.

1 Paul Allen likes to go underwater for his exploring, so aboard his yacht, Octopus, is a 40ft submarine.

2 Larry Ellison’s Rising Sun has a 40ft catamaran to take his four-wheel-drive ashore for exploring trips.

3 Roman Abramovich is not one to balk at the odd optional extra. He’s opted for the ever-popular Eurocopter EC135 – $5 million is a fair bit of dash, but it’s neat because it weights less than 6,615lbs.

4 Abramovich’s 282ft Ecstasea has a helipad that splits apart allowing the heliport to come up on a lift as the chopper approaches. When it’s landed, its wings fold in, and the whole affair descends back into the boat.

5 Just getting to and from your boat is a matter for serious consideration. RIBs (Rigid-inflatable-boats of the type used as offshore lifeboats) are de rigueur, but now Ken Freivokh has developed them into pocket super yachts, selling at $400,000. There are two to transport Tom Perkins and his friends to his yacht Maltese Falcon.

6 Flavio Briatore’s yacht Force Blue features a 1,290sq ft spa and a 1,075sq ft gym. There is also a cinema and stabilizers for a smooth sea-going experience.

7 Shipbuilder Brian Chang’s Asean Lady is fitted with a karaoke and theatre room. Larry Ellison’s Rising Sun has a cinema described by Steven Spielberg as more beautiful than anything he’s seen in Hollywood.

8 Owners can also get the $3,000 inflatable hot tub from Yachtub. Chuck it over the side or into the pool; it fills with water and heats it to the required temperature.

9 Anti-paparazzi lights are fitted to most yachts, as well as windows designed to keep prying lenses at bay.

And If all of those seem a little expensive, a baseball cap with the word ‘Captain’ written on it can be yours at a very affordable price.
