1 - Octopus - Paul Allen: We are All in the Yellow Submarine.
Rich people like actors, singers, entrepreneurs or lucky heirs doesn't look for evidence. They are simply bounded to come, get off the big big boat, get in again loaded with shoppers and fade with their fortresses in the fog. Not for Paul Allen. He likes to be seen and admired and in any port he arrives, he likes to invite notable people in the superyacht OCTOPUS, a whopping 416 feet (127 m), long enough to have secured its position as one of the world's largest yachts. Super yacht OCTOPUS is equipped with a music studio and a basketball court. the interior of the boat, which cost $20 million to build, is full of modern electronics, as befitting someone with a software background. For example there's big screen TVs that slide
out of the walls. The inside has a classic look, with lots of light wood paneling and muted colors. On the walls there are a couple of Andy Warhol paintings and a Max Ernst original. And more, Paul Allen seems to be an ardent fan of sea cruisers. The latest plaything in the billionaire's playground is a fully operational 40-foot yellow submarine for which he has paid a huge sum of $12 million.----------------------------------------------
2 - Lady Sheridan - Ophrah Winfrey, Jude Sheidlin: Changing name and identity.
the Lady Sheridan, 148 ft 5, built in 1988 by Feadship Van Lent, and commissioned by Ophrah Winfrey has changed from owner to owner her name in "L'Elegance", then "Mia Elise", "Easy to Love IV" and finally the actual name, "The Judge". She's truly a female Big Boat very similar to her owners, some of the most paid
women in the history of the US TV. Now "Judge" Judy Sheidlin is, with her husband and a couple of friends the owner of this wonderful Boat and are chartering it, because a boat like that is costly even for a billionaire.

3 - Rising Sun - Larry Ellison: "I'm worried, Larry ..."
Starts like that a letter from the accountant of Larry Ellison founder of the US Oracle, software US giant. Of course, there's no question that Ellison, 62, is good for the loans. Forbes' famous list of w
ealthy people says the maverick entrepreneur is the nation's fifth richest individual, worth $17 billion, mostly in Oracle stock. Still, Ellison's spending and his reluctance to part with Oracle shares have caused his financial adviser some anxiety. On the water front Ellison has poured at least $194m in a new yacht and $80m in the America's Cup: a true passionate. The yacht is Rising Sun, 452 ft 8 of length, Built by Lürssen, with the style aid of Jon Bannenberg.----------------------------------------
4 - All a fleet - Roman Abramovic: no way, safety comes first
It's almost ready Eclipse for Roman Abramovic (here with his wife Irina in Portofino Italy), the Boat is the fifth of the group and the biggest. The others are in order of volume Pelorus, Le Grand Bleu, Ecstasea and Sussurro. It seems motor yacht ECLIPSE - the largest yacht in the world - will be well-prepared to thwart off the attacks of would-be ship and yacht seizure by Somali pirates and pretty much everyone else. Sources report the gigayacht will have special radar installed, designed specifically to warn of incoming rockets. There will also be armored protection around the wheelhouse and the billionaire owner’s master suite – along with bulletproof windows throughout.
If pirates do, in fact, breach the security cordon and climb onboard the superyacht, the Russian oligarch, 41, and several guests can escape through secret corridors to a submarine that is launchable underwater and can dive away to 160ft in depth. Move over, James Bond!
Underwater cameras with heat-and-motion sensors will detect intruders. The yacht is being fitted with the latest antibugging equipment and there are supposedly even flash sensors installed to warn of paparazzi photographers taking snaps through the windows. In addition to its anti-missile defense system, the yacht will be defended by a crew of 50 fully-armed former SAS and Special Boat Service commandos, ready to take on any modern-day pirates or terrorists.
The onboard accommodations will feature six guest suites, five VIP suites and the aforementioned 5,000 square foot owner’s cabin. All come with two en suite bathrooms and balconies. The owner’s cabin features a grand piano and a private garden area on the foredeck, spanning decks 4 and 5.
The yacht also boasts a wine cellar, humidor, two kitchens, and a mini hospital.
For watersport enthusiasts, there will be four pleasure craft, a 50ft tender to ferry guests to and from shore, 20 jet skis and of course, the 12-seat private submarine.
Currently under construction in Hamburg, Germany at the fabled Blohm + Voss shipyards, her owner is expected to take delivery next summer. Insiders put the cost of the world’s largest giga yacht at + £200m ($470m). Comfort and safety first of all.

5. Lady Lola - Bejoncè and Jay Zed: Privacy in boat rentals
Not everybody is able to adopt security and privacy measures the like Abramovic is able to do. Not everybody has enough money or the vocation to get busy and loose finance just to take care of a large boat. In that case the Vip should be patient and smile when everybody holding a camera starts to shoot photos or hide in one of the areas expecially
studied to keep privacy high. And the Lady Lola is a yacht built having clear in mind what happens in Italy in places like Portofino or the Sardinia Smeralda Coast. With her features The Lady Lola can provide plenty of private room, the upper deck is a full private Owners’ deck that can be entirely closed off from the rest of the vessel. It includes a forward master stateroom with its panoramic 270-degree view and private balcony, as well as a 3,500-square-foot suite including a salon, an office and opening aft on a large covered private terrace and many other amenities that a big star look for when in a holyday
