When it comes to who owns the biggest and best superyacht, the competition is constant and fierce! Take, for example, a prototype in the making by Rolls Royce and boat makers Palmer Johnson, complete with “James Bond style” doors! Perhaps we should add those to our private yacht charters?
The PJ World Yacht will be an 82-meter superyacht with a $150 million-dollar price tag and is currently being built in Norway. So what does one get for all that dough?

Someone out there really loves volcanoes…or Hawaii, as they have designed a superyacht complete with its very own functioning volcano onboard! While it is no secret that the superyacht industry is cutthroat in the competition department, a volcano is a bit far-fetched! Would you choose this floating island (appropriately named ‘Tropical Island Paradise’) for a private yacht charter? It is unclear if it will be privately owned or publicly available for chartering, but it looks all-out awesome!

This is certainly unlike any other yachts out there!

British billionaire and mogul Joe Lewis is often viewed as unassuming, underplaying his wads of cash and luxury lifestyle. Recently, however, Lewis opted to purchase the right to pierce his 223-foot superyacht, Aviva, directly through the heart of London. Ahoy, Sir Lewis, way to anchor those headlines! This is a man who can easily afford the rare Bugatti L'or Blanc, or any other luxury item on earth...so I am naturally jealous.

Green is the new black, encompassing nearly every consumer-driven market lately, including luxury yachts.

Lake Michigan To Welcome 98 Foot Yacht
The Burger Boat Company has announced plans to construct Chicago’s Leading Lady, a 98’ passenger vessel that will be used by First Lady Cruises. The Boat will be styled after some very famous passenger boats, including the Sequoia, a Presidential yacht. The boat will be used for private parties, but will also be used for Chicago Architecture Foundation River Cruises. Now you just need to add a luxury car from our fleet of Chicago exotic car rentals to go with this luxury yacht.

The boat will be built in Manitowoc, WI at the companies’ shipyard. It will be able to carry 350 passengers, and will definitely be the nicest and newest yacht on Lake Michigan when it is completed. Imagine Lifestyles Chicago is excited to see this beautiful vessel out on the water. We plan on pulling up alongside it in one of our luxury yacht charters and getting a closer look.
