What does one do with $4,800,000,000? Well it seems an anonymous Malaysian businessman commissioned a yacht made of gold and platinum. The boat also features furnishings made from meteor stones and Tyrannosaurus rex bones! If this doesn’t scream luxury yachtsthen what does?
The boat, HISTORY SUPREME uses 100,000kg of gold, with it being used on both the hull and the anchor. Here at Boatbookings.com we doubt this yacht is suited to the water, however as an exercise it’s bound to throw the major super-yacht owners with its closest rival being ECLIPSE with a build cost of $800 million.
The French Riviera is one of the top destinations this summer; a true yachting paradise. One of the best way to see the delights of the Cote d'Azur is by boat. One of our favourite yachts to explore the coast is M/Y BLACK AND WHITE; we know the yacht very well having visited it multiple times and have seen her in action out on the water on more than one occasion!
Adam, one of our Charter Brokers, sings the crew's praises, the team of five includes a great chef who will go out of their way to make sure you enjoy an amazing charter. The interior design is done by the luxury brand Fendi and French designer Philippe Starck, and keeping with the yacht's name the décor uses the contrasting colours of black and white. A stylish 34m Sunseeker, BLACK AND WHITE has sprawling decks including a fantastic flybridge, so there is plenty of space to enjoy the Riviera sun, while enjoying a drink from the bar, and space to seat all 10 guests for a sit down meal. BLACK AND WHITE is fitted with a Bang & Olufsen AV system, so you can enjoy the music and television at the highest standard.
M/Y BLACK AND WHITE accommodates 10 guests in 5 cabins, of which 3 are double and 2 twins. All of the cabins are en suite and designed with comfort and luxury in mind. The master cabin on the main deck features an extra window at the fore, perfect for enjoying the view from your bed! The bathroom also has a jacuzzi bath and gold mosaic steam shower.
BLACK AND WHITE is available to charter from €107,000 per week. With such an amazing crew and luxury design on board this Sunseeker, what better way to explore your way along to coast from Monaco to St Tropez, with Cannes in between?

The Dodecanese Islands lie in a crescent chain along the Asian Turkish coast curving west towards Crete, and are suited to both motor and sailing yacht charters. A Dodecanese yacht charter vacation caters to a wide audience, they have rustic and rugged landscapes, clear blue ocean stretches and they are considered generally to be less touristy than the Cyclades and other parts of Greece. They are an eclectic mix of fantastic sailing destinations, enriched by a unique culture and turbulent history with each invading civilisation leaving their mark behind, be it the Persians, Athenians, Romans or Venetians.
What’s more, with over 150 smaller islands of which only 26 are inhabited, there is a wealth of interesting areas and destinations to sail around on your luxury yacht charter that will provide something for everyone. Here is a suggested 7 day itinerary for chartering in the Dodecanese islands.
Day 1: Embark from the island of Kos – one of the largest islands in this group, leaving behind the stunning Nerantziá Castle at the entrance of the port. Start off slowly and head 15 nautical miles (nm) towards Kalymnos and Vathi Port or the Pserimos anchorage using the water toys you have on board to cool off in the azure blue Mediterranean waters.
Day 2: From Kalymnos after having prepared a delicious breakfast, cruise 16 nm north towards Leros and Ayia Marina, taking in the sights and sounds of Greece and perhaps stopping off at one of the many golden beaches on the way and eating at a classic Greek taverna for some traditional food.
Day 3: After admiring the magnificent castles such as Brouzi and Castle of Panayia or the ancient churches scattered all over the island head out and swim in the many deep indented bays and go diving and explore the many shipwrecks on the seabed. Cruise towards the beautiful small island of Agathonisi also known as Gaidos (donkey) and anchor at Agios Georgios Port.
Day 4: Raise anchor and charter just 13nm from beautiful Agathonisi to Arki – Marthos islet and stop off in Augusta port for lunch and a swim. Then head out to Patmos island and Skala port that is just 10nm away to admire the spectacular beauty on offer. It was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999 and a “Holy Island” by the Greek Parliament in 1981 and its traditional Greek atmosphere will provide charterers with an opportunity to relax and and replenish your energy in serene surroundings.
Day 5: On day 5 sail to Telendos or perhaps Emborios on Kalymnos Island which is 26nm from Arki.
Day 6: Sail past the west cape of Kos island to Palon or Mandraki port on Nisyros to visit the famous mephitic fumaroles and stop off again at some of the secluded coves and bays to really appreciate the unmissable natural beauty on offer. However if you are looking to really let your hair down the island of Kos is the place to do this in the Dodecanese islands. Check out the wide variety of clubs and bars on offer, particularly in Kos town.
