Let us preface this post by declaring that the new website Cityfile is incredible. We've spent the last two days on this site reading all the profiles of the "notable and influential" New Yorkers.
Our boys at Cityfile* have just posted pictures and details of Carl Icahn's yacht , the 180-foot Starfire, which can be yours for a week for the low price of $196,000 (during "low season").
From the pictures, it looks like Carl can throw his share of Minnesota Vikings style parties all while blogging thanks to his high-speed WiFi. He's got a nice big screen TV, a chess board for the intellectual inclined, and of course, an on-board chef to round out the 12 person crew.
Anybody reading got the moolah to take a ride on his yacht?
* Full disclosure: We know these guys and think they are awesome.

I don't really know about these things but 180' seems about the perfect size for a megayacht.
Not so large as to be totally pointless for a couple of people renting it out (plus it can probably fit at actual marinas unlike Rising Sun and Octopus) but large enough to be spacious and roomy and have all of the stuff you would expect for something you're shelling out 200 grand a week for.
And, no, I don't have the moolah to take a ride on it.

The decoration inside is quite ugly.

If you were 75 (or however old he is) you'd prolly be just fine with it. Personally its not my style (not even remotely close), but its hardly the most abhorrent interior decor I've seen on a yacht (think floral & paisley EVERYWHERE)
