This 94-Foot Italian Yacht May Be the Greenest of Its Kind

With a sleek profile and long forefoot, Save the Sea, the new Amer 94 by Italy’s Permare Group, looked like other planing superyachts at the 2015 Cannes Yachting Festival where it was launched. But the go-fast superyacht kept a “secret” that differentiated it from any other yacht in its class: three Volvo Penta 1200s connected to Volvo IPS drives.

    The Playboy Mansion Is Now for Sale—Hef Included

    Last year, Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch listed for $100 million. In January, another one of California’s most famous estates went on the market for twice the price. Currently the most expensive listing in the United States, the 20,000-square-foot, Tudor-style Charing Cross Road address is expensive, even for the exclusive Holmby Hills neighborhood in Los Angeles. Like Neverland, the Playboy Mansion comes with the kind of fame that its sellers hope will yield great fortune.

    In the largest real-estat…

    One of the Windy City’s Top Hotels Undergoes a Striking Renovation

    Chicago is a magical city year-round. Winter provides ample opportunities to ice skate under snow-kissed skies before dashing into hole-in-the-wall restaurants for deep-dish pizza or Chicago-style hotdogs—while summer reveals a city set abloom with irises and lilies, best viewed by river cruises or sailboat charters. The only question is where to rest in between action-packed days.

    The Peninsula Chicago—which is scheduled to complete a major renovation of all 331 guest rooms and suites this April—provid…

      Astronaut Chris Hadfield Is Obsessed with Weightlessness—and David Bowie

      Canadian astronaut CHRIS HADFIELD flew to the Russian space station Mir in 1995 and to the International Space Station in 2001. He returned to the station in 2012 and served as its commander in 2013. The engaging short videos he shot during his last stay in space made him a social-media superstar: His rendition of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” has been viewed more than 27 million times. His videos could inspire the next generation of astronauts, just as media coverage of the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, when…
