Well, if you are one of the wealthy elite you may no longer have to choose. Monaco&rsquo;s Wally Yachts has teamed up with Hermes, the designer, to create the WHY 58X38. The WHY, which is 58 meters by 38 meters, with a total surface area of 3,400 square meters, is a design concept that was just released at the Abu Dhabi yacht show.<\/p><p>Purchase price: $160 million.<\/p><p>For that, you get three levels and 2,400 tons of floating fun. The first level would house living spaces, a &ldquo;beach,&rdquo; spa, dining room, music room and cinema. The second level would house suites, a lounge and library while the third would be &ldquo;owners space.&rdquo; It also has a huge pool.<\/p><p>The WHY has a top speed of 14 knots and a capacity for 12 guests and a crew of 20.<\/p><p>The designers at Wally and Hermes (hence the &ldquo;W&rdquo; and &ldquo;H&rdquo; for WHY), insist the yacht will be entirely ecofriendly, with sustainable technologies like recycling thermal energy and waste.<\/p><p>&ldquo;There are no excesses, nothing is superfluous, the impact on the sea is minimum,&rdquo; said Luca Bassani Antivari, Wally&rsquo;s president.<\/p><p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.wsj.com\/wealth\/2010\/03\/03\/the-yacht-that-is-a-floating-island\/\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What if you could combine the exlusiveness of a Private Island with the manuverability of a luxury yacht.
