In all the fuss over the new 'baby Rolls-Royce' – the Ghost/200EX – don’t ignore this new very-big-Rolls: the PJ World Yacht.
OK, it’s not strictly a Rolls-Royce – in fact, it’s a Ice Class mega-yacht from shipbuilder Palmer Johnson – but the World Yacht has been built in collaboration with Goodwood-and-Crewe’s favourite luxo-merchants… which means it’s deeply, deeply plush.
The World Yacht measures 82 metres from bow to stern, and is packed with all the stuff a discerning billionaire requires for a jaunt across the Arctic: swimming pool, gym, spa, cinema… and even a helicopter pad with elevator access.
In total there are six floors of leather-clad, immaculately polished goodness, and it’s all powered by a Rolls-Royce engine: a giant six-cylinder diesel, which draws from a 260,000-litre fuel tank and is capable of hauling the World Yacht along at a heady 16.5 knots. A bit more sedate than the Phantom Coupe, then.
Our favourite feature? The pirate-repelling water cannons. You know those icy Arctic pirates. They do hate to get wet…
Now watch James and a 1,000bhp powerboat race Richard and a Ferrari:

It should have a section of the floor- sorry, deck, that slides away to reveal your Phantom rising up from below. Plus an extending ramp for the boarding and unboarding of said vehicle. Ah, if I were rich enough to have a yacht complete with a Rolls-Royce AND a helicopter... what would I do next?
