AHHH, the age old struggle of not having enough helicopter landing pads on your yacht! It's something that keeps me awake at night.
This one time, my good friend (who also happens to be a James Bond villain) was landing on my crummy single helicopter yacht landing strip when Leonardo DiCaprio and a bunch of Victoria's Secret models swung by in their hot pink copter to fetch a cup of sugar. Imagine my embarrassment when I had to force poor Leo to circle his copter while he waited for James Bond Villain to land! The whole situation could've been avoided if only I'd sprung for a super yacht. Yes, a SUPER yacht. Sometimes, a regular old yacht just doesn't cut it.
GTSpirit recently reported on the super yacht and we had to share it with you. (If you haven't already guessed, I've never been on a super yacht or even a regular yacht…and I am not friends with Leonardo DiCaprio. Ugh.) Welcome to the Fincantieri Serene, a seven-story yacht that's pretty much the great white shark of boats. This big-boned beauty boasts an internal sea water swimming pool (!) that can be converted into an on-the-move-dock for the rich person on-the-go. (Or on the run, if you're a Bond Villain.)
This crazy yacht will run you a cool $330 MILLION dollars to buy, not to mention the cost of staffing the behemoth. Yachts can't take care of themselves, you know. They're just yachts! You need a crew of 52 to manage the yacht plus 24 of your closest friends. DUH. This monster was leased by Bill Gates this past summer for $5 million a week – a pittance in comparison.
A truly SERENE place on the upper deck for sailing the open seas.
A variety of furnishings
The breathtaking view...
Nothing says opulence like several pools when you're already floating on the open water.
Of course, you probably wouldn't want to swim in the middle of the open ocean, unless you're a fan of sharks.
Cute cabanas are conveniently kept full of goodies so you don't have to back outside while you're in the middle of tanning.
In spite of the ship's massive size, the living room still feels cozy!
A well-equipped bar for toasting your success.
The most eye-catching feature is the outdoor hot-tub with colored LEDs. Even the plebs on the shore can see that your yacht is having a rockin' party.
Blue whales are about 20 meters long. This yacht is a whopping 134 meters long.

The master suite...
And each and every guest room is equipped with a California king!
A monumentally amazing - if not excessive - mobile hotel!!
