Boats

There are very few guys out there that can be considered a finished man. Besides Jonathan Goldsmith, the most interesting man in the world, I would say that Sir Richard Branson comes in at a close second. Branson has pretty much done it all and is one of the richest people in the world. He has spent plenty of money on commercializing space flight, completed ridiculous across the world adventures, and now he is ready to conquer the sea.

His company has designed a catamaran called the Necker Belle which happens to be one of the fastest on the water. The cool thing about the Necker Belle is that it boasts the world’s first underwater aircraft dubbed as the Necker Nymph.  The Necker Nymph is a three-person aero-submarine capable of diving down to a depth of 30 meters to explore the deep without using any human power.

When you think of high-end luxury yachts, does Aston Martin come to mind? If you said yes, that’s one hell of a lucky guess. We don’t normally associate the Aston Martin name marine recreational vehicles but one European design house thinks a little differently than most others.

Luiz de Basto Designs have created a concept Voyage 55 yacht which is inspired by luxury-sport vehicles such as the Vantage, DBS, Virage, and Rapide. Now imagine those beautiful cars but on a boating platform. What you get is the “Aston Martin” Voyage 55. The Voyage 55 features two-person seating up front, luxurious interior, light luggage space, and plenty of room in the rear for a party. But the main selling feature of this boat is the unique design.

Dutch Vitters Shipyard has revealed their latest creation, the Sarissa, a 42.6 meter (140 ft) sailing super-yacht. The luxurious Sarissa was designed by the highly praised naval architect Bill Tripp and Rhoades Young Design Ltd. The Sarissa also happens to be the largest Dutch-built carbon fiber sloop to date. I’m usually not a big fan of sail boats but this particular yacht features so much luxury that you have no choice but to like it.

In terms of the exterior, the only thing that is impressive is the size of the sailing yacht. At 42.6 meters, it’s a pretty long boat. Most of the magic on the Sarissa is in its high-quality finishing touches, luxurious interior, and technology. The Sarissa truly is a home away from home.
