Gadgets, technology and luxury on the waves
PUTTING THE SUPER IN SUPERYACHT
Watch out Roman, there’s about to be a new superyacht in town – literally. The Big Fish, a remarkable boat that’s designed equally for adventure on the high seas as it is for sitting in the marinas of Monaco and Mustique, will be appearing on the Thames tomorrow, mooring at Butler’s Wharf next door to HMS Belfast for a few daysto entice prospective buyers. As well as every kind of luxury amenity, including anti-slip granite decking, a gym, an audiovisual atrium with a 22-foot high video wall and Jacuzzis and bars galore, it’s kitted out with its own submarine and scientific lab. If you haven’t got the £27m or more needed to buy it, you can rent it for a week – that only costs around £120,000. www.mybigfishcharters.com
