Classic superyacht
You can keep you modern superyachts - this would be the one for me.
http://www.savarona.info/savarona_en/
To give you an idea of it's size the Turkish bath alone is 260 tons of marble - yes tons - that's heavier than the biggest Sunseeker ever built the 37m trideck - and that's just the bath!!!
A bargain to charter - only £300,000 a week.......

I took the bath info from the official site - not that one.
http://www.mysavarona.com/description.php
"A large swimming pool, two Jacuzzis, two seperate saunas and steam rooms, a fitness center and a floor heated turkish bath built from 260 tons of carved marble are available for your pleasure."

Considering the size, 650lt/hr @15knts seems quite frugal

Displacement hulls use far less power than planing ones. A Sunseeker 120' yacht has about the same hp as the 500' Savarona - so they use about the same amount of fuel.

comparing the Savarona to a 37m trideck is a bit like comparing the Queen with Victoria Beckham...?!

Funnily enough I said exactly the same to my brother - you could easily imagine inviting the Queen aboard the Savarona but Sunseekers are definitely more footballers wives!!!
I love Sunseekers and I am very proud of them being British but they aren't exactly elegant - neither are most of the other modern super yachts.

Ok not elegent in the normal sense but Nordhavn ( www.nordhavn.com) they are very very smart and hardly the sort of thing the WAG's would be attracted to... but very much modern.

I love the Nordhavns as I have mentioned a few times before. They may only do 10kts but they have a range of over 4,000 miles - a lot more on the bigger ones.
