Charter the world's tallest single-mast mega-yacht

The Palm Beach Daily News has an interesting article on a mega-yacht you can charter to cruise the Mediterranean. The Mirabella V — the world's longest and tallest single-mast yacht, docked at the Port of Palm Beach recently. The 247-foot supersloop is part of the Mirabella Yachts luxury charter enterprise that you can reserve at rates of $250,000 a week for the boat and crew — provisions are extra. Last summer, the yacht was chartered five times, once for a month, and sailed along the Amalfi Coast, the Cote d'Azur, Tunisia, Malta and Greece.

There are 6 cabins, a 20-soaker Jacuzzi, a wine cellar, a 21-foot swimming pool and spa, a gym and plasma televisions, and movies on a large projection screen under the stars. There's a 30-foot tender and watersports toys from lasers to jet skis, ski boats and kayaks. That $250,000 price tag is beginning to sound like a bargain! Well ... maybe not.
