This Luxury Yacht Comes With an Amphibious Car, Hovercraft, and Jet Ski

If spending a week on a luxury yacht isn’t amusing enough for you, the multi-award-winning Exuma expedition ship comes with an amphibious car, a jet ski, and other thrilling water toys to play with.

Built for the world traveler who isn’t content sunbathing on the stern all day, Exuma’s additional water toys include a legit hovercraft originally designed for patrol and search and rescue teams, an underwater scooter by Seabob, a Seadoo RXT215 Waverunner jet ski, and a Lveco amphibious vehicle that you can take for a spin on sea and land.

And those are just the biggest toys. Toss two mountain bikes into the durable Jeep-like water car (Lveco is an Italian manufacturer who mainly produces special vehicles for firefighting and the military) and ride on a nearby island, or stay in the waves and water-ski, paddle board, windsurf, scuba dive, snorkel, or wakeboard. There are some basic inflatable water toys, too.

At first view, it’s impossible to spot any of these adventure craft since they’re stored in electronic side hatches and below-deck hideaways. Apart from gadgets and gizmos, the superyacht is packed with luxury amenities, including a jacuzzi and a gym (we gotta keep that beach body shape on the high-seas).

Custom-built and made to fit nine guests and nine crew members, the airy guest cabins consist of two master suites, two “VIP” rooms, and one twin. The yacht’s warm and woodsy interior design was done by Perini Navi and the clean, slick silver and wood exterior styling is by Vitruvius. Overall, the interior of the Exuma is comfortable and clean, but it’s a good thing the look isn’t too opulent and overdone because this is not a yacht for the homebody. (Waterbody? Seabody?) Though there’s still Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and all that good stuff, obviously.

Even Exuma’s bold aluminum hull and superstructure beg to part waves. The yacht cruises at 14 knots (16 mph), a comfortable speed designed for a minimum environmental footprint, the rental listing on Yacht Charter Fleet notes. Top speed caps off at 17 knots (19.5mph). Most of the water toys will go faster than that.

All this will “only” cost you $212,000 per week.

Porsche just proved the Cayenne Electric is the most impressive performance vehicle you can drive
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

I have seen the movies. I know there is no way that a car can survive in the jet blast of a plane. I remember the scene from Casino Royale. And for me, that is science. But the engineers at Porsche and Stratolaunch aren’t so sure. They operate in the real world of science, and they came together to see if the Porsche Cayenne Electric could withstand the take-off power of one of the largest and most powerful aircraft in the world. Why? Because they can and because curiosity oftentimes leads to something awesome. Spoiler alert…the car holds up. But don’t take my word for it.

The car is its own beast. It’s got the ability to keep up and play in this space. – Orlando Bloom, Porsche ambassador

Indian commits to American artistry with Signature Series
Machine, Spoke, Helmet

There is something about sitting on the back of a motorcycle that you can’t feel anywhere else. Road trips feel different on the back of a bike versus in a car. Maybe it is the solo aspect of it. Maybe there is the feeling of the wind. Who knows? What I do know is that there is nothing like a bike ride through the countryside. The winding roads, the sunsets through the visor of the helmet, all of it is unrivaled. Indian Motorcycle understands this, and they have since they became the first American motorcycle company. Now, they have dropped a new Signature Series of four motorcycles echoing their commitment to American artistry and craftsmanship.

Since 1901, Indian Motorcycle has pursued the ultimate intersection of form and function – motorcycles that are as beautiful in design as they are sophisticated in performance – Mike Kennedy, CEO of Indian Motorcycle

Is the BMW XM a perfect blend of practicality and performance
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

The BMW XM has received a bit of a mixed response, but there’s a strong argument that it’s a logical next step on from the BMW M5. Think about it, the M5 is special because it combines practicality with exceptional performance. The BMW XM does the same thing, though you’re trading a little handling quality for far more practicality.

On a recent venture in BMW’s performance SUV, I weighed up the pros and cons of BMW’s most divisive vehicle. And it may be a better choice than BMW’s flagship.
