Brad and Angelina Travel in Style on $138million Yacht

by Jonathon Morgan on

How much would you pay to travel the world in complete and total luxury? If you’re Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and money is no object, designing a boat to fit your needs could run you $138million.

That’s the story according to Mario La Via, an Italian boat builder with Privilege Motor Yacht. Although — while he confirms the order — he hasn’t said for certain that Jolie and Pitt are the buyers.

Regardless of who’s buying the ship, it sounds very impressive. Totally 240ft in length, it’s set to have 6 en-suite cabins with marble and gold bathroom fittings, a swimming pool, a gym — even a helicopter pad — all across 3 enormous decks.

With all the adopting the pair is doing, I guess they need the space.

Yacht + Helicopter = Skiing

by Iva Skoch on

Still mad that Europeans are greeting the New Year without snow, I think I’ve found an answer.

You can charter a boat called the Absinthe, to take you and 11 of your friends skiing in British Columbia. Billed as the world’s only yacht-based ski-lodge, this $36,000 per day (not including meals and fuel), 201-foot yacht will cruise you along the BC coast until you near an appropriate mountain. Then you’re fully equipped with skis and board their helicopter, which takes off from a heli-pad on the yacht, carries you up to the slopes with a ski-guide, and picks you up later.

And, if not all of your friends are skiers, they can take advantage of local hot springs, sea fishing, fly fishing, visits to Indian villages, kayaking, or a host of other activities offered from the yacht. Absinthe-drinking comes to mind.

Top Ten Charter Yachts in the World

I’ve mentioned before that rustic life is not for me … so you can imagine
my delight when our sister blog, Luxist,
featured the Top Ten Charter Yachts in the
World.  Now this is my kind of living:  I mean, really, who couldn’t do with a "mother-of-pearl
inlay antique cabinet"?  Or an on-board theatre?  Or, seriously, a helipad?

Definitely check this article out.  Ranging in price from US$125,000 to US$480,00 per week,
they’re practically a steal (for Bill Gates).
