Earlier this week we posted some of our favorite designer-friendly yachts from Wally Yachts. This post is for Core77's burgeoning Somali pirate readership. Fellas, have we got some exciting design news for you: A UK-based company called Yacht Island Design is working on a host of enticing concepts for gorgeous, innovative and most importantly slow-moving pleasure craft.

Their Streets of Monaco yacht concept lets you stroll the byways of the fabled principality like a lucky gambler, sidestepping go-karts buzzing around the actual on-board racetrack. You've heard of the Grand Prix, and once you take this boat, you can try it!

The Tropical Island Paradise yacht combines the charms of an exotic village retreat with its own on-board volcano and waterfall! Best of all it features a glass-walled swimming pool facing the boat's wake, so you'll get to see the passengers' expressions as you approach from the rear.

There's even a deployable beach deck that seems tailor-made for your boarding skiff.

Both of these boats are projected to top out at just 15 knots. Once one of these comes steaming through the Gulf of Aden, you'll have more than enough time to get your skiffy in a jiffy!
