Marc Newson rather famously designed the most expensive furniture prototype ever sold, the Lockheed Lounge. This time around he has designed a zippy boat, the Aquariva. The party, at the Standard South Beach, 40 Island Avenue, Miami Beach, 5 to 8 pm, is invitation only. But prospective buyers can schedule a test drive Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from noon to 5 pm by writing to Seatrials@NadineJohnson.com.

Vernissage: DesignMiami, with 15 galleries, separate design projects and the Designer of the Year, Konstantin Grcic. And you thought all those Dutch names, like Kiki van Eijk and Joost van Bleiswijk, were difficult. Ok, here's the pronounciation. Con-stan-tin. Oh, the other part. Grich-ich. The Vernissage includes a free bedtime story and glass of Champagne in the Veuve Cliquot Sleeping Capsule. Vernissage, invitation only. 6 to 10 pm.

And finally, an event that is theoretically open to the public. The portable night club Le Baron, based in Paris, takes up residence at the Florida Room in the Delano Hotel. (The rest of the year, the Florida Room is known as Lenny Kravitz's ode to a Cuban nightclub.) It opens late, and runs later. Our prediction: a running battle over smoking. There is a guest list. You will have a tough time getting in, unless you are art-world famous or gorgeous and, ideally, both. Best suggestion: go early in the week, so they recognize you later in the week. Le Baron, the Delano Hotel, 1685 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach. 11 pm to 5 am.
