It’s that time of year when thoughts turn to summer holidays, and helpfully, Architectural Digest‘s latest mail-out suggested some yachts its readers might consider renting for a week. I love AD, it’s like an American marriage between The World of Interiors and Hello! filled with aspirational and/or jaw-dropping interior design and a few celebs thrown in for good measure. With that in mind, and just in case any of you still have your holidays to plan, here’s a peek at some of the yachts up for charter this summer (!)….

Dragonfly, (above, charter through Sail Away Yacht Charter Consultants), you’ll be interested to know, is the fastest long range super yacht in the world; you’ll find a jacuzzi, white leather seating and even a helipad on board… Or, try Maltese Falcon, below; with its outdoor dining space:

Anoushka Hempel’s yacht, Beluga, below is now available for hire for holidays in the Adriatic Sea around Croatia through Dalmation Destinations:

But for that really special occasion, push the boat out (sorry) and charter Christina O from Valef Yachts: the wedding venue for Aristotle Onassis and Jackie Kennedy, the yacht includes a mosaic-covered swimming pool which converts to a dance floor: perfect for that first dance….

I’m not too sure about the dining room in Jonny Depp’s yacht:

But it looks pretty nice from the water – I’m sure I’d get used to the decor if he asked me to come visit…. (hire Vajoliroja, above and below, through Burgess Yachts)
