Mirabella V
At 247 feet, the mega yacht Mirabella V is the largest single masted sailing
yacht in the world (a cutter-rigged sloop). Large enough to hold a double-decker
bus in her hull, Mirabella V is not only big, she is also beautiful -
particularly under full sail - looking like a much, much bigger version of the
sloops many of us cruise and race ourselves. Though most of us can only dream of
sailing the seas in such opulent luxury, if you want to dream, why not dream
big?
Built in 2004, the Mirabella V mega yacht incorporates nearly every
conceivable luxury. The yacht has a full beam owner’s suite, six staterooms with
big windows and full size en-suite bathrooms, entertainment systems everywhere,
and even a hot-tub and dip pool on the sailboat's foredeck. The yacht also has a
gymnasium and sauna, which are located on the lower deck, and all the latest
satellite communications equipment, for keeping in touch with those poor
wretches on shore.

Dining on the mega yacht is similar to smaller yachts, where one can choose to
eat al fresco on the top deck, under the covered cockpit, or the main dining
room. The difference is that this main dining room is capable of seating up to
20 guests in comfort. After dinner, well-heeled sailors can watch a movie under
the stars on the outside projection screen (with wireless headphones), or on the
projection screen in the yacht’s main saloon to enjoy full surround sound.

If you get bored while lounging about on the Mirabella V, there are an
abundance of toys to keep you occupied. For motorheads, there's a 29 foot
Hinckley boat with 400hp engine (complete with waterskis, wakeboard, kneeboard
and tube), a 21 foot Castoldi with 240hp engine, a 17 foot RIB, and two SeaDoos.
For the rag-baggers and paddle-pushers, there are four Laser sailing dinghies,
two windsurfers, a two man kayak, and a rowing skull. And for those who get
their fun below the surface, there's full SCUBA equipment and a compressor for
unlimited diving.

Finally, for those looking for a bit of low-effort match racing, the Mirabella V
carries two replicas of itself which can be sailed by remote control. Now, if
you're starting to think that your own boat is coming up somewhat short in
comparison to the Mirabella V (after all, most of us only have the one
remote-control replica for use in the on-deck hot tub), you should take into
account the price for all this luxury. At current rates, you can rent this
megayacht for a mere $400,000 US per week. Does that make you feel better?
