Forget mega yachts - this mobile private island just upped the ante on billionaire toys

This is nuts.

YACHT DESIGN HAS gotten pretty extravagant in recent years but nothing compares to Kokomo Ailand.

More mobile island than yacht, Kokomo is a floating, semi-submersed vessel with a level of luxury that rivals a four-star resort.

According to renderings, the “private floating habitat” features multiple decks and amenities, a sky-high penthouse suite and a beach club.

The company behind it, Migaloo Private Submarines, hasn’t received any orders yet but it claims Kokomo can be built to specification immediately with existing technology.

According to a representative, “the price depends strongly on the client’s wishes”.

The owner’s penthouse sits 260 feet above sea level with two elevators, a glass-bottomed Jacuzzi, a private beach club, and ocean views.
