The summer, relaxation, the soft lullaby of the ocean waves, the salty fresh air away from the hustle of the city—what better way to experience the bliss of vacations than on a yacht? But there are yachts, and then there are yachts—the blingy, super-sized, fully kitted-out yachts that include luxuries that mere mortals can only gape at. What amenities are we talking about? Check out our list of some of the most opulent celebrity-owned yachts to find out:
1. Giorgia Armani
The renowned fashion designer owns The Main, a dark green, stunning yacht constructed by Codecasa in 2008. The interiors of the 65-meter-long yacht were meticulously designed by Armani ( Of course!) in collaboration with Studio Dellarole and Ortelli. The décor in the rooms and main salon is dominated by a sleek and modern color scheme combined with Asian visual appeal, including Japanese-style low tables. Organic birchwood dominates the interior spaces, with it being used on the floors, indoor stairs, Venetian blinds, and bulkheads, while marble is used in the bathrooms. The saloon on the main deck has an electric fireplace, and the galley is accented with retro satin glass.
2. Zlatan Ibrahimovic
A recently retired Swedish striker, known to go against the rules and pave his own way, has owned a Benetti 34M Oasis, named Unknown, since 2022. We’ve seen this beauty all over his socials, where he invites his friends, with drones and numerous water activities. The 34-meter super yacht’s interior is the work of the New York-based studio Bonetti/Kozerski. The main saloon has expansive views thanks to the curved glass doors connecting to the cockpit, which are fully open to connect the dining area to the outside. A squashy couch opposite a cinema-style TV screen is located forward of the dining area, allowing the saloon to be used in a variety of ways. The wheelhouse is forward on the upper deck, and there is an alternate living space amidship
3. Conor McGregor
It is only fitting that the champ owns a champ! The UFC fighter and style icon recently purchased the Tecnomar Lamborghini 63 yacht. Although this is much smaller than your regular luxury yacht (19.2 meters), it is inspired by the supercar Lamborghini’s Siàn FKP 37 model, Tecnomar For Lamborghini features an aerodynamic profile and a special ‘carbon skin’. The Lamborghini 63 is a true superyacht beast. It is 63 feet long (a reference to the year Lamborghini was founded) and is powered by a pair of MAN V-12 diesel engines producing 2,000 horsepower each. The boat can reach a top speed of 60 knots as a result, making it one of the fastest 63-footers in its class. The yacht burns 100 gallons of fuel per hour at cruising speeds of 40 to 45 knots, giving it a range of 360 nautical miles.
4. Rafael Nadal
A proud owner of a Sunreef 80 Power superyacht since June 2020. The tennis legend has owned previous yachts, like a Monte Carlo Yachts 76 named Beethoven, which he bought in 2016. His love for yachting is no secret, as he once said, “Because I have a yacht, I am able to forget about everything and get away from that tiring stress. I do have a real passion for [superyachts]. It is rare that I see a superyacht from a distance and don’t know its name. I know them all!” An electronic lift pulls back the stern lounge to reveal a jet ski, a SEABOB, and a surf foil. While Great White is by no means a small yacht, its 80-foot length and 4,000 square feet of comfortable living space are astonishing. She can reach top speeds of 24 knots (27 mph) and cruise at 14 knots (16 mph).
5. David Geffen
Geffen is a billionaire known for his love of yachts and is the founder of Geffen Records and DreamWorks Pictures. After purchasing the Rising Sun, he used it to host his A-list friends. The Rising Sun can move easily at 26 knots and has a top speed of 30 knots. Rising Sun was designed by Bannenberg & Rowell Design, with interiors by Seccombe Design. Rising Sun is built with a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure. She is propelled by four MTU engines and has a top speed of 28 knots. Rising Sun is the 22nd largest yacht in the world, according to the world rankings. She is Lürssen Yachts’ twelfth largest yacht. Rising Sun’s owner is featured in SYT iQ and is only available to subscribers. The yacht Rising Sun is featured in 27 yacht news articles and has 103 photos on SuperYacht Times
6. David and Victoria Beckham
In April 2022, the original power couple, D&VB, attained the super yacht Seven. Named after the footballer’s jersey number, this 28.5-meter-long vessel was built by the Ferretti Engineering Department while Mauro Micheli’s Studio Officina Italiana Design worked on both its interior and exterior. Standout design features include the sun-lounging space on the foredeck. Seven is powered by two engines of 2,400 horsepower each, which give her a top speed of 30 knots and a cruising speed of 22 knots
7. Roberto Cavalli
Hush-hush! That’s how the designer wanted this yacht to be. But come on! You can’t hide a yacht as gorgeous as this one! In 2018, the fashion designer had her 27-meter-long Freedom designed by Tommaso Spadolini in collaboration with her owner. Cavalli’s signature animal-print interiors adorn the quarters and saloons on board. Freedom has two dining areas and can accommodate six guests and three crew members. Freedom’s moderate size allows her to reach a top speed of 40 knots while powered by three water-jet engines. The layout includes a large garage at the bow that can house a 3.8-meter tender.
8. Michael Jordan
The NBA Superstar calls his super yacht JOY. Valued at around $ 80 million, the yacht stands at a whopping 230 feet. Joy has a cruising speed of 12 knots thanks to a pair of 1,850-horsepower engines. It has a top speed of 16 knots, putting it on par with other yachts of this size in terms of speed. Due to its size, it is clearly not intended for racing or high speeds. Would you be surprised if we told you that there’s a basketball court on deck? Fitting yah? In addition to the bball court, you can enjoy a game of badminton, volleyball, and football as well. The entire yacht has five decks, so there’s plenty of room for the rest of the luxury features that someone like Michael Jordan might want to include.
9. Tiger Woods
The golf legend’s yacht is called Privacy. He purchased the boat in 2004, and the 48-meter-long vessel can hold about 10–12 guests.
There’s also a jacuzzi on deck, a gym, a cinema room, and a bar. There is also a decompression chamber for scuba diving, jet skis, ocean kayaks, and motorized scooters. The annual expenses for this 155-footer appear to be around $2 million. This is a yacht with a fuel capacity of over 12,000 gallons and a range of over 4,000 nautical miles. Privacy is also quite
fast for its size, conveniently sailing at 16 knots (18.4 mph/29.6 kph).
10. Steve Jobs
Built by Feadship and designed by Philippe Starck, 78.2 meter Venus was launched in October 2012. Unfortunately, the late pioneer was never able to set foot aboard. The exterior is distinguished by a striking silver paint job, gleaming stainless-steel details, and a line of rectangular windows moving from the bow to just past amidships. Venus is long and slender, with an 11.8-meter beam and a low-slung glass superstructure. Starck created the exterior of Venus with straight lines and 90-degree angles. She has an axe bow and an unconventional flat, squared stern that allows for a soft garage. The teak-planked forward deck is completely clear of clutter. Notably, there is no visible radar arch or satellite equipment; all of this is tucked away within a container that maintains Venus’s exterior as clean as possible.
These yachts sound perfect for a sunny vacation around the south of France, meanwhile, how about we share with you the most interesting private jets owned by celebrities next?
