The Ultimate Private Yacht Charter
Mediterranean

This is one to rent for the ultimate celebration. If you've always wanted to live like Aristotle Onassis—and Jackie O, of course—now you can. The 325-foot Christina O, which sailed onto the front pages of countless newspapers and magazines in its heyday, has been completely restored and is once again sailing to the world's most exotic and glamorous ports. Onassis sailed (and wooed) a bevy of famous women on the ship, including Maria Callas, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe and Jackie. If only the cabin walls could talk! An Onassis family friend bought it in 1999 and refurbished it to its former glory, adding DVD players and flat-screen TVs to the 18 staterooms. Highlights include the Jacuzzi and the mosaic-tiled swimming pool on the deck, the Callas Lounge with a Steinway piano, and the dining room with Baccarat crystal lamps and an extra long banquet table. There's also a small gym, a children's playroom and, no surprise, a helipad. The Christina sleeps up to 36 guests, but can host over 100 people for parties. Available for private charter only—a good excuse to rally a gang of friends and family together to go for it!
