My new boat


White Pearl apparently cost in the region of $400 million to be built. Designed by marine architect Martin Francis , its interiors were created by French furniture and industrial designer Philippe Starcke; so it’s no wonder it cost so much. The super yacht will accommodate a maximum of 20 guests at a time as well as a crew of 54 to serve them. With a magnificent steel hull and teak deck, it boasts two diesel engines and two electric motors, and can reach a speed of 24 mph. Cruising speed is 18mph.

  1. To me, that has all the grace and elegance of a container ship. No, wait, container ships have a beauty all to themselves, it's called 'purpose.'

    This thing? What the hell were they thinking? Butt-ugly is just the start of my negative feelings towards it.

  3. Owner: A Russian oligarch of course. I guess the Greek shipping moguls have slipped down the ostentatious ladder.
