This is a rare find. A walkthrough video is quite common, but a walkthrough video commissioned to aid in the sale of a yacht is a different story altogether. It provides an in depth look on how life aboard that yacht will appear for a potential buyer.

Have a look. The result is quite captivating!!!

Private Submarine.

That has to be the most expensive design proposition ever made. $2.3 Billion...(let that sink in for a second, no pun intended).

The proposition is actually quite sound, relying on already existing technology. One could argue that this is quite feasible.

Abeking & Rasmussen has sent its latest 223-foot megayacht soaring into the arms of its new owner without a single delay.

Feadship is one of the most prominent shipyards in the world. It specializes in high end motoryachts and has been at the forefront of yacht design for a little more than 70 years now. It is responsible for too many yachts to count. If you are patient, you can scroll through the extremely long list here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ya...

Savannah is a megayacht of 83.5 meters, launched in 2015. It departs from conventional design in nearly every way. I could go on and on about it but its better if you just see it.

The clientele of Wally used to be affluent sailors with at least one circumnavigation of the globe on their backs. Needless to say that these boats are furiously raced, despite a price tag that starts from 10 million and skyrockets.
