On this superyacht, the only thing that really glitters is gold.
The AK Royalty is said to be one of the world’s only ships of its kind with a 24kt gold paint job.
The yacht, which measures 136 feet, even comes with a pair of gold jet skis and electric underwater scooters – known as Seabobs – while gold fixtures and fittings run throughout.
For those who like to turn heads in such a boat, it is currently available for charter Burges from $120,000 per week with a maximum of 12 guests.

Owner Aaron Fidler told Robb Report that the glittering paint finish ‘took months to perfect’ and is made from a mix of specialist marine paint and 24kt gold dust.
The former sailor, who made millions setting up a technology company, bought the ship in early 2023 before spending a large sum on its transformation.

It took six months to refit the yacht, with exterior painting one of the bigger tasks.
An outdoor bar also has a golden sheen, with matching metal dining chairs.
Moving in, Fidler upgraded the interior to be just as bling, with Fendi carpeting, marble-clad bathrooms and mirror panels above the beds among some of his installations.
To complement the gold tones, Fidler has opted for a chic monochrome color scheme for the interior.
There are five guest cabins in total, including a spacious master suite with steam shower, sauna and freestanding bath in the ensuite bathroom.
As for the communal areas, there is an open plan lounge area on the upper deck leading to a dining room.
