Simon Cowell, the “mean judge” of talent competitions, enjoys the money he has made berating talentless contestants by vacationing on the Slipstream. No, this isn’t Star Trek, his favorite 196-foot long super-yacht is the Slipstream. He takes it around Ibiza with his family.
Slipstream has a spa pool, barbecue, dining area, and sitting area — and that’s just on the sun deck. Inside the ship are seven rooms and enough room for 12 guests. There’s an observation lounge, a VIP suite with a private balcony, and a sky lounge that turns into a cinema. It’s all yours for 330,000 euros per week.
The Edge of Cyan (Or Is It the Other Way Around?)
Cyan belongs to The Edge. Don’t forget that. The Edge certainly doesn’t want you to. It’s hard not to take it personally when people think that Bono is the only U2 band member who can splurge on a yacht. The Edge set the record straight: “It’s mine,” said the guitar player, “Bono doesn’t know anything about boats.” Yeesh.
In reality, The Edge needed help from his friend to buy the 160-foot vessel and redesign it. They added a jacuzzi, high-end music system, and bar. So Cyan belongs to The Edge and friends. I wonder if Bono is one of them.
Vantage by Calvin Klein
Calvin Klein is one of the wealthiest people in the fashion industry. From his famous underwear to his elegant suits, the designer’s products are ubiquitous. The Vantage follows Klein’s eye for sleek elegance. Plush carpeting and warm colors line the interior, while the exterior hosts a jacuzzi, bar, and barbecue grill.
Klein has hosted many parties during the Cannes Film Festival on the Vantage with many A-list celebrities on the waiting list, no doubt. The yacht is big enough for 12 guests and nine crew members. You can charter this 150-foot yacht with the starting price at $180,000 per week.
Sail the Seven Seas with Steven Spielberg
Some might say that Seven Seas is the "bigger boat" that Brody mentioned in Spielberg's beloved film "Jaws". Unsurprisingly, the filmmaker's $200 million super-yacht houses a movie theater with a projector, a large screen, and rows of seats.
There is a gym, a jacuzzi, and jets skis included. There are also large windows from floor to ceiling in the dining room that can be opened when the weather permits. Spielberg didn't expect to like sailing so much, but he put Seven Seas for sale in 2015 to get a bigger boat. See what I did there?
Queen B’s Galactica (Battle)Star
R&B's most prominent couple, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, like to spend time with their kids on the Galactica Star, not to be confused with the science fiction TV show, Battlestar Galactica. This $42 million beast's owner is actually Nigerian billionaire Kola Aluko. Hov and Bey only rent it for $900 million per week.
The Carters get a lot for their money: hot tub, pool, cinema, and the ability to entertain 12 guests. Even though the ship is enormous (weighing 961 gross tons), it can go up to 28 knots. Galactica Star is one of the fastest yachts in its class.
