Let's face it; most of us will never be rich enough to own one of the world's super yachts. The good news is you don't have to be a Russian oligarch to sail on a super yacht; you just have to have the cold, hard cash available to rent one! Sure, it is still crazy expensive, but a fraction of the cost of buying one. Stars like Leonardo diCaprio, Rihanna, countless supermodels, and others relax in luxury on these rental super yachts from a firm called Edmiston. From Cannes Film Festival to the Mediterranean Riviera to the islands in the Caribbean, the least expensive of these mega yachts rents for more than $750,000 a week. For that price, you do get some pretty insanely extravagant amenities, including a helipad to drop you on the yacht when it is already at see. Let's take a look at the most expensive super yachts available from Edmiston in 2015:
