Fathomable luxury

Having already opened a trio of sceney hotels in New York and Bangkok, Vikram Chatwal has turned his attention to the high seas with the 135-foot Fathom. Designed by Mark Zeff, who's also responsible for Chatwal's New York hotels as well as the city's Dos Caminos restaurants, the sleek white vessel is based on the French Rivieraprobably a good thing, given the skittish mood felt by your average Wall Street moneybags these days. If, however, $250,000 a week is within your budget for Cannes this year, you'll get a Bond-worthy boat with underwater cameras, water-ski and Jet Ski gear, an eight-person Jacuzzi, a nightclub-worthy sound system, and a crew of nine, including a chef, captain, and bevy of stewardesses.
