When Michael Kittredge, founder of Yankee Candle Company, and his wife Lisa designed the interior of this yacht, they made sure she'd be able to handle either a weeklong charter with plenty of notice or just a large party with a mere day's notice. As a result the dining room has a wine "cellar," the aft main and bridge decks have outlets for electric guitars and other instruments, and a gym (complete with a steam room) can accommodate 12 people at once.
