Just imagine the scenery.

Clear-blue open skies, cold sublime blue waters, sandy beaches nearby and, an assortment of friends from all over the world- among them, a gorgeous friend in a skimpy outfit! Moreover, there’s the best collection of liquor from around the world. A non-stop party abounds and, what ensues is a saga of everness in the oceanic beauty. What if you were to be amid such a serene scenic beauty? Surely, that’s a never-ending scenario in any modern wonderland, isn’t it? Wondering how beautiful yachts can be, can possibly send the imagination into an over-run, can it not?

Yachts are more often than not, the abode of priceless, very rare emerald-like luxury for the rich and the famous. It’s truly the wine that can be sipped by the connoisseurs who truly fancy living a life of magnanimity. You’ve seen mega Hollywood celebs possessing those. You’ve also seen super-models and trendsetters stymie up some envy of the onlookers, luxuriously lounging out in powerboats such as the yachts. And often, lest it sheepishly denied, that one simply fancies hopping onto a yacht to spend time magnificently.

In the recent past, the commissioning of the luxury yachts has brought about a surge in the recent years and therefore contributed to a lot of enthusiastic buyers from around the world taking to their sea legs.

So that said, which are among the top 5 and most stylish luxury yachts in the world? Let’s find some here.

The Dubai- $350 million

On first thoughts, the very name of the luxury yacht and the feeling it imposes finds a resonance in the way the rich Arab Sheikhs live their often philandering lives. And therefore, true to its name, The Dubai, owned by His Highness Sheik Mohammed Bin Rashid al-Maktoum is actually one of the five most expensive luxury yachts in the whole world. Commissioned actually by Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei, around 10 years prior to the mega-launch in 2006- The Dubai- is known for its beautiful interiors.

Cosy, handmade tiling and an inbound swimming pool, the split-level owner’s deck, in addition, makes for a fancy area for talking and interaction and boy, one helluva party in the late after-party hours.

And that’s not all. Here’s the most impressive feature of “The Dubai”. It also has a helipad, specifically for private guests to land in midst of an impressive perky blue oceanic settings wherever it is, that The Dubai is sailing at. In fact, the yacht can accommodate for a helicopter that’s around 9.5 tons.

Azzam $650 million

Coming for a cost that most of us may never even see in our lives, the Azzam is to the world of super luxury yachts what the Dinosaur is to the Jurassic Park. It’s opulent, to say the least. It’s massive in size and it’s prettied by a beauty of a rare kind. To suggest that the Azzam is akin to a floating beauty on the ocean would not be a misnomer.

Ever wondered, who owns the Azzam? It’s actually the Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nayan, President of the United Arab Emirates and Emir of Abu Dhabi, who are in possession of the 4th most luxurious yacht in the world. Sprawling big in size- around 590 feet- the Azzam can actually clock a pretty impressive speed as well, at around 35 miles per hour, that’s 30 knots.

Especially, interior-designed by renowned French designer Christoph Leoni, the insides are about as extravagant as the dangling, swooping, very artsy persona on the outside. In fact, famous lifestyle magazines have gone on to describe the Azzam as a ”sophisticated and luxurious in a turn of the century Empire style”- quite vivid, isn’t it?

Streets of Monaco $1.1 billion

Now, here’s the big daddy among luxury yachts. Close to Southern France as is the mighty beating heart to the rib-cage, the Principality of Monaco is a lair of the super-duper rich. One thinks in boyish charm and pure wonder about the gravitas of the city and the adrenaline-spiking adventures of the rich. One can’t be there as it’s really a lair of the famous.

But one wonders just how it might feel to step aboard the Streets of Monaco, designed charismatically by the Yacht Island design of Derbyshire County in England. To say that it’s the third-most expensive yacht in the world would be to simply state the obvious. The concept of this one of a kind yacht is that it’s unfurled, pretty much the floating replica of the city of Monaco, Monte Carlo.

Just how incredibly amazing is that for some oceanic innovation? Comprising of some choicest and rare landmarks of the city- including- the Monte Carlo casino, the La Rascasse, the enchanting Hotel De Paris, the Cafe de Paris, you sizzle with luxury in this majestic ocean-liner kind of a retreat that has 16 private guest suits. Some alluring features of this yacht are the minibar, shower areas, BBQ facilities add to the charm of this truly artistic creation.

Eclipse- $1.5 Billion

Only a Russian billionaire of the power and might of someone like Roman Abramovich could have possibly managed this cultural zeitgeist of luxury and flamboyance. This is, indeed the world’s second-most expensive powerboat. And true to the Russian spirit of safety, defence preparedness and, the spirit of carrying a silent vigil against possible miscreants, the Eclipse has a mini-submarine and has been fitted with armour plating. Can you dig that?

In fact, if someone hovers around the mega yacht, flickering away, trying to click unpermissible pictures, then a light is shone directly upon the camera so that no pictures can be taken.

History Supreme- $4.5 billion

The mega grizzly where the price-band stands, the History Supreme has been designed by a UK-based luxury designer-Stuart Hughes. What’s the most interesting part of the luxury yacht-liner isn’t just the price alone. It’s rather, what’s contributed to the enormous cost, actually.

Around, 100,000 kg of solid gold and platinum has been used to adorn it. Only recently, has an anonymous Malaysian businessman bought the History Supreme.

With fanciful items such as these that come with all the trappings of the material world, it’s not hard to guess why every rich person or celeb wishes to have one of his own.
