If you haven’t heard of Bimini, you’re not alone. This tiny Bahamian island — the closest to the United States, just 48 miles off the coast of Miami — has long been an under-the-radar spot known mostly to avid fishermen who come for big game like marlin and tuna, or for the bonefishing on the shallow flats between North and South Bimini. One such fisherman is a guy you’ve definitely heard of, Ernest Hemingway, who called Bimini home between 1935 and 1937 (his time here inspired The Old Man and the Sea). Prior to Hemingway’s residency, Bimini was a popular hideaway during Prohibition, given its proximity to America and lack of alcohol restrictions, and was once believed to be home to The Fountain of Youth (Ponce de Leon came here searching for it in 1513).

She is a lady, one of the finest around, and while it may be impolite to ask her age, we don’t mind revealing that the Lady Moura superyacht is over 30 years old—34 years, to be precise. Completed in 1990 by Blohm + Voss, we can’t help but wonder what kind of age-defying technology the German shipyard used, as the $250 million superyacht shows no signs of slowing down or deteriorating.

Named after a Saudi billionaire’s ex-wife, the $250 million superyacht that Steve Jobs’ yacht crashed into is so luxurious that its giant lettering is covered in 24-carat gold. A floating luxury village in itself, it boasts a medical clinic, helipad, cinema, disco, spa, and even a bakery.
