( CNN ) There are superyachts . And then there are superyachts for `` ladies . '' Introducing La Belle , the 80-meter gold and crystal-encrusted superyacht described as a floating `` boudoir for women , '' by its female designer . `` There will not be any boy 's toys -- such as pool tables or beer kegs -- on board , '' Italian designer , Lidia Bersani , told CNN . `` But there will be a fantastic spa with a beauty center , large mirrors , and huge wardrobes , '' she said of the concept yacht , which she claims is the first designed specifically for women . Bersani came up with plans for the five-deck La Belle because `` I felt , as a lady , it was my duty to design something especially for us , where we can feel a woman 's touch . `` There will only be off-white , ivory , and cream colors . All surrounded by furs , silk , gold , pearls , crystals , live music , aromatics and flowers , '' she added . Not that all women are on board with Bersani 's `` warm and romantic '' bejeweled boat . `` I do n't know any woman who lives in a dream world where these things are desirable , '' said Maria Jaschok , director of the International Gender Studies Centre at Oxford University . `` It feels somehow remote , like some sort of little girlish dream , traveling in that eternal pink cloud . '' Bersani , who also designs apartment interiors , defended the hyper-feminine yacht , saying : `` I do n't know a single woman who does not like flowers and is not dreaming of diamonds . `` If you get married , the most amazing day in your life , you want to be dressed in an amazing white long dress , looking like a princess , with a gold diamond ring on your finger , around romantic music , happy people , and plenty of flowers . '' In the ultra-elite world of superyachts , female owners are practically unheard of , but that does n't mean women do n't have a huge influence over the spending of their billionaire partners . `` In terms of superyacht owners , I 'd say they were upwards of 90 % male , '' said Rory Trahair , of superyacht brokers Edmiston . `` That said , superyachts on the whole are designed for the preferences of a couple -- for their interests , design , style , and taste . `` And while the person chartering a superyacht is often male , the person in charge of the holiday is often his wife or girlfriend . '' Male or female , Trahair envisioned few clients looking to buy a `` radical , gold yacht '' such as Bersani 's . `` It could be regarded as patronizing -- a bit like Barbie , where the assumption is that everything has to be pink , '' said Trahair . Earlier this year , plans were revealed for world 's biggest private boat -- the $ 1 billion , 222 meter Triple Deuce . And they 're only going to become more lavish , according to Trahair . `` We 've launched yachts in the last few years that have multiple pools , helipads , a squash court . There are few things now a yacht ca n't have , '' he said . `` Whereas a jacuzzi was a luxury in the early 2000s , now if you 've got just one , it 's rather frowned upon . You need to have a few and you need to have an infinity plunge pool that doubles as a helipad . '' Whether there will also be a market for gender-specific vessels , remains to be seen .
