Cool Spaces: Step aboard a luxury mega-yacht

At 164-feet long, 31-feet wide and almost 500 tons, this week's Cool Space is no ordinary yacht. Welcome aboard "The Boardwalk", Houston businessman Tilman Fertita's luxury ocean vessel and favorite toy.

The $40 million yacht has 12 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, grand salons, and a true chef's kitchen with steamers, warming drawers, and walk-in fridge and freezer.

The master suite features an owner's office, opulent bedroom with space to spare, and a gorgeous bathroom.

No expense was spared on the outdoor space either. "The Boardwalk" boasts multiple decks, lounges, scooters for land excursions, and an even a helicopter pad.

Fertita, his family and crew travel the world on the yacht. Some of his favorite stops are the Bahamas and the Mediterranean.

"It's one of those things I always wanted and I'll always have. It isn't cheap, I can tell you that," Fertita said with a smile. "But every time I walk on it, I tell myself, 'God, I love this boat.'"
