SEADOO, the aquatic vehicle company that is synonymous with high-velocity aquatic fun, came out with a new jet ski in 2009, the RXP-X255.  Jet skis are probably one of the most exciting things you can do out on the ocean besides hosting gladiator fights out in international waters.  They’re just one of those things that easily lend themselves to great times, able to kick up the fun notch on any beach day. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be able to shoot across the surface of the ocean like an arrow and we should also keep in mind that nobody gets killed by sharks while riding a jet ski.

The RXP-X255 is one sweet sea machine, able to sit up to 2 or 3 riders and has a fuel capacity of 15..9 gal.  It’s supercharged and has a closed-loop cooling system. It has 255 horse power and it’s displacement is 1,494 cc. The starter is electric and the ignition is digital inductive. The Bore x Stroke is 100 x 63.4mm and the compression ration is 8:4:1. The transmission is direct drive, forward/neutral/reverse and has a high performance Variable Trim System.

Measurements:

Length: 130 in.

Height: 46.5 in.

Width: 48 in.

Dry Weight: 818 lbs.

So if you’re looking to amp up your fun in the sun and smack a shark in the face, then it’s time to think SEA-DOO.

The 289-ft. Maltese Falcon, the world’s largest, best designed, and most expensive sailing superyacht, has reportedly been sold for $100 million just a week after we reported the price had been slashed by $40 million. The incredible craft, which had at one point been listed as high as $165 million, was built by Perini Navi for venture capitalist Tom Perkins. The London Times reports Perkins has now found a buyer. “It has taken a while,” he conceded to the paper, noting his profit margin had shrunk somewhat. “It is not the best time in the world to sell it. I can’t tell you anything at all about the buyer. There is confidentiality.” With its three 20-story carbon fiber masts fully rigged the yacht can cross the Atlantic in 10 days. -Hat Tip

If you’re in the market for a multi-million dollar yacht (and honestly who isnt?) and looking to stand out a little more than typical yachtsman, we’ve found your yacht. You can thank us later.

The Olucus is a very futuristic looking yacht from Schöpfer Yachts. Its 250-foot, can accommodate 12 guests and can travel at speeds up to 25 knots. It got a double-height dining room, an elevator and a special area for ‘the owner’ + a lot more. – Baekdal

Amazing. And if that didn’t do it for your, go to our friends at Baekdal to catch a glipse of this 300 foot behemoth with an on deck pool, as if the ocean wasn’t enough water for you.

If you’re in the market for fractional ownership of a yacht (and if you’re reading this site, there’s a good chance you are) then we have come to answer your prayers. YachtPlus launches it’s first Foster and Partners Designed Super Yacht.

“The fractional ownership super-yacht company, YachtPlus, launched its first yacht – The Ocean Emerald – in La Spezia, Italy on April 25 in the presence of Norman Foster. This contemporary 41 metre yacht has been designed with a strong emphasis on space and light and has five suites for up to 12 guests, who will be looked after by a permanent, highly trained crew of seven. The internal planning of the yacht offers total flexibility to respond to the diverse requirements of the owners and their guests and keen attention has been paid to design and detail ranging from the internal (2,790sqft) and external (2,495sqft) areas to cutlery, crockery, fabrics and crew uniforms. All furnishings and fittings are provided by the Italian manufacturer Cassina and kitchen and galley equipment by Schiffini.”

Basically what that means is unless you’re benefitting off of a ponzi scheme, chances are you probably won’t be able to afford it. But we won’t knock you for trying.

And it’s not like you have any reason to buy a yacht.
