Wally 55 Power Boat Boasts Four Motors, Four Drives And A Whole Lot Of Luxury

Want one? Better be loaded. The Wally 55 is available now, with prices starting at

$2.4 million.

Billed as "the ultimate open sports cruiser," the yacht/powerboat hybrid brings highly aggressive, hard-edged lines that makes those expensive yachts you see in the marina look like boats for stuffy, boring people. Seriously, this thing 's hull looks like it's built for battle -- so much so that throwing a few missile launchers and machine guns on there aren't likely to appear so out of place.

The Wally 55's styling, of course, should be no surprise to fans of Wally Yachts, whose sailboats and powerboats have consistently veered toward the extreme edge of modern-day aesthetics and performance. It takes on the same open top design with a huge windscreen as many of their powerboats, allowing you to enjoy the open skies while running in high speeds without the wind wreaking havoc on, pretty much, everyone on board. What's more exciting, though, is the power this thing packs, with four 435-hp Volvo Penta D6 diesel engines paired with four Volvo IPS 600 drives. The result is incredible flexibility in how the thing can be operated, on top of a whopping max speed of 40 knots.

It's sized to accommodate up to 6 people (5 guests, 1 crew) in complete luxury, although we guess you can throw in a few more, so long as they don't mind less comfortable sleeping arrangements. Right behind the captain's station on the deck, you get a pair of long couches along with a dining table and other optional amenities. Below the deck, buyers can opt for either two cabins (one full-width master cabin and one VIP cabin) or three cabins. Each one comes standard with rapid fender connections, swim ladder, wrap around fender, entertainment systems, communication systems, a retractable anchor system, an 11KW generator, electric windlass, and joystick control.

Tranquility Pod: Hatch Inside This Egg And Reinvigorate Yourself

Remember when you were little and you'll hide inside a closet and feel so comfy while encroached in that tight compartment. So comfy, in fact, that you'd sometimes fall asleep and sometimes spend hours on end doing nothing? Turns out things don't change much when you grow up -- except you need a bigger space to fit your grown-man frame. And that's exactly what this Tranquility Pod offers.

Designed by Alberto Frias, it's basically a giant egg with a hole where you can crawl up in fetal position and chill out the day away. Just like being back in momma's womb.

Sporting an ellipsoid shape, the Tranquility Pod can block 90% of all outside noise, giving you a mostly-closed space to find some genuine peace and quiet. Inside, it comes loaded with comfort-inducing gear including a large memory foam cushion laid over a temperature-controlled waterbed, 50 color-changing LEDs scattered along the walls, and integrated 80-watt four-speaker sound system that can produce gentle vibrations throughout the waterbed. But wait, there's more. You can manually control the lights or if you prefer just sitting back, allow the biofeedback ambient mood lighting system to automatically synchronize it to your heart rate.

Construction is handcrafted fiberglass for the actual pod, with a smooth gel-coat surface for that sci-fi shiny finish. The entire thing measures 78 inches in diameter and 42 inches tall. Oh yeah, it weighs 350 pounds, so forget moving this from the basement to the bedroom whenever you feel like it.

The Tranquility Pod is available from Hammacher Schlemmer, priced at $30,000.
