This is America's Cup tycoon Ernesto Bertarelli and his wife, ex Miss UK Kirsty Bertarelli, latest plaything on its way to the Caribbean last Friday.
The Vava II is a six decked yacht and at 96m just over twice the length of the previous one but cost a whopping £ 100 m and just filling her with fuel sets you back £250,000.
Yacht owning is an expensive business.

I had to replace a fraying cunningham line on my Laser this week. Now she's all ready for another season. Life is good.
I'll bet he never fills the tank, but just sloshes in a few thousand gallons to make it through the weekend.
I suspect it would be used as a floating hotel from which he goes racing.
The fuel tank doubles up as Switzerland's strategic fuel reserve.
And as to the Cunningham line - why can't he replace his own line? (boom boom)
Switzerland's strategic fuel reserve... it's nice to start Tuesday with a laugh
Good to hear that, Alejandra :)
