118 WallyPower

It’s been compared to the Lamborghini Diablo, a Boeing stealth fighter jet, and the Batmobile; suffice to say this is the prototypical “Power Yacht.” Its carbon fiber and glass exterior give it a futuristic look, a fact not lost on director Michael Bay, who gave WallyPower a supporting role in his Scarlett Johansson sci-fi film The Island. And for $24 million, it can be yours. At press time, 118 WallyPower was without an owner and mooring in Monaco.

April Fool

Launched on its namesake holiday in a lavish nighttime ceremony, April Fool is a classic family yacht. Though it measures 200-feet, there are just four guest staterooms in addition to the master suite. Its owner, a New Yorker, chose to limit the number of rooms for two reasons: he has no plans to charter the ship and fewer rooms ensure that each of his guests feels like a VIP while on board. Easygoing elegance abounds, as well as some practical indulgences—Feadship, the yacht’s builder, has installed its first awning system on the top deck, built for guests concerned about getting too much sun. Nothing foolish about that.
