A little bit of cash to spare?

Why not buy yourself a boat?
Towards the Mick end of the price spectrum you could start vacationing aboard the Maltese Falcon.
A mere bagatelle at $181½ million. And the submarine is included. Bargain.
If that doesn't suit, you could go completely loopy and commission Philippe Starck to design something special for you, although best be careful he doesn't take you literally when you suggest turning boat design 'on its head'.
You'd have to go even further, however, to out-do Roman Abramovitch, whose new - still under wraps - tub, called Eclipse, is so big that it will apparently be quicker to take a helicopter from the back to the front (and what self respecting dinghy is complete these days without two helipads?), than to walk.
These last two maybe one and the same, but if they are, he ain't saying. Perhaps he's seen it.
