For those with a little spare cash to spend on a boating holiday, Rupert Murdoch is renting out his super-yacht.

The media tycoon is offering the 183ft (56-metre) Rosehearty complete with five suites, several salons, a gym and a team of dedicated staff to the public for £181,000 a week.

The News Corporation chairman has listed the three-year-old yacht for hire in the Mediterranean and Caribbean with CharterWorld with photographs showing his king-sized bed on the company's website.

Described as having "magnificent" performance with a "stunning interior by French designer Christian Liaigre", the yacht's accompanying tenders are named Grace and Chloe after the 78-year-old's young twin daughters.

The yacht, estimated to be worth £25 million, also boasts two dinghies with an instructor, six sets of diving gear and nine plasma televisions.
