Here’s a list of the top yachts and cruisers on the market, just in case you ever find yourself in a position to buy one…

Accomodation: 8 guests
Price: $1.9m
CHEERS 46
If you want a few more guests to join you on your jaunt, then Cheers 46 has enough space to fit 12 people. The $15m price tag means you’ll have to pay for the extra room, but the 140ft length is more than enough to have your own private casino fitted.
