J.K. Rowling’s Yacht Cruises the Hudson

• Share on Twitter

Has the Hudson Valley felt a little more magical in the last few days? There could be a good reason for that.

No, it has nothing to do with Halloween being right around the corner. It's more along the lines of Hogwarts like magic.

According to several Hudson Valley residents, a yacht by the name of the Arriva has been docked in Ulster and Dutchess County in the last few weeks. A quick search on Google explains that Arriva is owned by J.K. Rowling, aka the author of the insanely popular Harry Potter novels.

Facebook user and Hudson Valley resident, Jeffery Lewish shared some fantastic photos of the vessel with us:

This weekend Arriva made it's way to the Dutchess County side of the Hudson River after being docked in Kingston.

We haven't heard if J.K. Rowling herself is on the yacht however, Variety reported back in 2017 that she put it up on the market.

The Arriva, previously known as Amphitrite when it was owned by Johnny Depp, is a 156-foot-long boat with 5 charter rooms and can fit up to 10 guests. It also has some fancy accommodations, such as "air conditioning, on-board Wi-Fi, videogame consoles, and recreational equipment that includes kayaks, snorkeling gear, windsurfing and wakeboards, and two tenders for water skiing."

Thinking about chartering out the Arriva? Back in 2017, according to Variety , it costs a cool "$130,000 per week, plus expenses" at the high-season price.

Rowling purchased the luxury yacht from Depp in 2015 or 2016 for "about $27 million." If you're looking to purchase Arriva, you'll be getting quite the deal. Variety reported that the asking price back in 2017 was $19.2 million .

What a deal!

Have you seen the Arriva traveling along the Hudson River?

Johnny Depp bought a yacht in 2007 that has a pirate-ship theme and can fit 10 guests — take a look

• Johnny Depp bought a yacht for an undisclosed price in 2007.
• The yacht is known for its art deco-style interior and "pirate-ship" design.
• Depp sold the yacht to J.K. Rowling in 2015 for $27 million.

Johnny Depp bought a yacht from Turkish shipyard Proteksan Turquoise yacht in 2007. The yacht is known for its art deco-style interior and "pirate-ship" design.

Depp purchased the Turkish-made yacht for an undisclosed amount and named it "Vajoliroja." At the time, he was dating Vanessa Paradis. The yacht name is a combination of their names, along with their children's, Lily-Rose and Jack.

Depp and Paradis were seen enjoying the yacht on several occasions with their daughter Lily-Rose in 2011. The couple split up in 2012.

When Depp married  Amber Heard in 2015, he renamed the yacht "Amphitrite." Fifteen months after the wedding, Heard filed for divorce.  The pair is now embroiled in a bitter trial that began in April.

The yacht has played a role in Heard's testimony against Depp. Heard claimed Depp slammed her against the wall in one of the yacht's cabins. Heard said Depp was drunk and upset that he had to sell the boat. Depp has denied that he ever abused or assaulted Heard.

Depp sold the yacht to J.K. Rowling in 2015 for $27 million . The yacht has since been sold to a US businessman and is now named "Arriva."

Depp hired California-based interior designer LM Pagano to renovate the yacht in 2008.

A post shared by LM Pagano Design (@lmpaganodesign)

Pagano, who designed the yacht, said she wanted the 47.6-meter (156-foot) yacht to feel like "the Orient Express on the ocean."

"There's so much going on in there, but it all works. I had some of those velvet patterns rewoven for me on original art deco looms!" she told Steinway in an undated interview.

Pagano did not respond to Insider's requests for comment.

The yacht, which can accommodate 10 guests and nine crew members, has a home cinema and salon.

The yacht has four decks, according to Yacht Harbour. Its seven-meter beams give it the silhouette of a pirate ship. It's equipped with a Kaleidescape entertainment system.

A video tour of the yacht shows velvet decor and an antique-style wooden interior. The yacht's interior is made of vintage textiles and silk, according to a 2021 Facebook post by Pagano.

"I was graced to be working with Johnny, who has extraordinary knowledge and serious appreciation of historic decorative arts," she wrote in the post. The boat also has a 1930s-inspired dining hall.  

The yacht has five large staterooms.

Three of the cabins have double beds, while two have twin beds. All of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, according to Charter Index. In a 2019 Facebook post, Pagano wrote  that the bedroom's decor featured items procured from around the world.

The yacht also has a helicopter pad, swimming pool, and Jacuzzi.

Depp chartered the yacht when he wasn't using it in 2013.

Depp reportedly charged charterers $130,000 a week during peak seasons and $110,000 during low seasons.

There are several expenses attached to the yacht aside from the actual costs of the yacht such as the maintenance costs and repair costs. Aside from these hidden expenses, there are a lot of headaches, and disappointments that only yacht owners can experience. However, for billionaires like J.K. Rowling, this is something not to fret about when she bought Johnny Depp’s superyacht Amphitrite. Take a look at the amazing yacht which used to be in the hands of Depp but now safely cruising with Rowling.

Vajoliroja is the stylish 156-ft. yacht which Johnny Depp bought in 2007 for undisclosed amount. Vajoliroja is a coined term after Va for Vanessa, Jo for Johnny, Li Ro for Depp’s daughter Lily Rose and Ja for Depp’s son Jack. However when Depp broke up with Vanessa Paradis and married Amber Heard, he eventually changed the name to Amphitrite, after the Greek sea goddess, which served as a wedding gift to Heard. Depp is known to be an avid fan of yacht in his private life and he has always been fond of life on water which he was finally to experience when he bought the yacht. He used the said yacht to cruise towards his private island located in the Bahamas named Little Hall’s Pond Cay.

It was reported that the author of series of seven fantasy novels Harry Potter, British author J.K. Rowling bought Depp’s Vajoliroja for $27 million in 2016. The author reportedly fell in love with the yacht after she took the vessel out on some family charter trip with her immediate family. Depp had the yacht completely refitted in 2008 to boast some attractive vintage lines for some 1930s tycoon vibe which was constructed by Turkey’s Turquoise Yachts in 2001. This was done to suit Depp’s requirement for the design that resembles some classic gentleman’s yacht.

The yacht was built by the Proteksan Turquoise in 2001 and since Depp had the yacht refitted in 2008, it has never been refitted again. Two prominent Turkish shipyards has joined forces in 1997 to eventually form the Proteksan Turquoise Yachts Inc. With their combined skill set and experiences, they were able to make some winning collaboration which produces some high quality vessels. Their shipyard facility is located in Istanbul, Turkey where the world class yachts are made. The luxury vessel which is now owned by J.K. Rowling had some sophisticated exterior design and engineering which was done by the Taka Yachts and the ones who designed the interiors is the LM Pagano Design. The classic style of the yacht gives off some vibe of some updated and state of the art type of technology which includes Zero Speed stabilizers, some entertainment system and some top of the line communication systems onboard.

The yacht also comes with some kayaks, board for windsurfing and dinghy which can be used by the guest of Amphitrite to enjoy some quality time while in the water. The yacht can accommodate guests up to 10 people n the five staterooms of the yacht which has room for crews that can fit up to nine people. The yacht can cruise comfortably at12 knots and can reach the maximum speed of 14 knots. The British author is reportedly using the yacht for holidays to some destinations with her family however the superyacht can be chartered for $90,000 per week which used to be $130,000 when Johnny Depp still owned the yacht.

The Amphitrite offers the guests some stylish accommodation with one master bedroom, two rooms with double beds and two rooms with twin beds. The yacht which was refitted to resemble some vintage bordello has a velvet finish overall and the color palette of the boat had some reds and golds. The Iconic Designer of exterior Tanju Kalaycioglu intended the yacht to be a creation of modern design with some look of the vintage steam yacht. This was done using some non functional masts which was designed with some overhanging fantail stern, a smokestack and square wooden cabin top deck.

The superyacht features some typical contemporary luxury yacht which can serve as a helicopter pad which also has swimming pool and Jacuzzi on board. There are also some waterskis, and snorkel gears on board that will surely provide enough entertainment for the water lovers. There is also some entertainment inside the yacht including a satellite TV, some iPod docking stations and game consoles which can be played such as Playstation 3, and Wii.

J.K. Rowling and Johnny Depp Owned the Same Yacht—Who Has It Now?

J.K. Rowling dished out around $27 million in 2015 for the yacht Johnny Depp had sold just a few months prior. Who owns the yacht now?

April 28 2022, Published 4:40 a.m. ET

Hollywood actor Johnny Depp used to have a yacht transport him and his guests back and forth between the Bahamas and his private island , Little Hall’s Pond Cay. The Vajoliroja , which was purchased by Depp for $8 million and allegedly renamed Amphitrite , later sold in 2015 to an American businessman. It was then acquired by the Harry Potter series author J.K. Rowling .

Here’s how much Rowling paid for the yacht previously owned by Depp and some of the features it had while in her possession.

Rowling paid about $27 million for the yacht once owned by Depp

When it comes to money, Rowling clearly has plenty to spend. The billionaire author reportedly dished out around $27 million in 2015 for the yacht Depp had sold just a few months prior. About two years after purchasing the 156-foot-long watercraft, Rowling put it on the market for $19.2 million and allowed it to be chartered for about $130,000 per week, not including additional expenses, reports Variety .

Although the whereabouts of the yacht previously owned by Depp and Rowling is unknown, there is some speculation that it was listed for sale and purchased with the help of Curtis Stokes at Curtis Stokes & Associates. Simply put, Rowling no longer owns the luxury yacht.

A look inside the million-dollar yacht once owned by Depp and Rowling

While we can’t say for sure what the multimillion dollar yacht looks like today, we do know some of the features it had while in Rowling’s possession. The boat, which sits three decks high and accommodates 10 guests, featured the following, according to Variety :

• “A bohemian-luxe main deck salon with rich wood paneling.”
• Windows decorated with “swagged and tasseled drapery.”
• “A state-of-the-art entertainment system.”
• Four guest staterooms.
• On-board Wi-Fi.
• Recreational equipment, including “kayaks, snorkeling gear, windsurfing and wakeboards, and two tenders for water skiing and jaunts ashore.”
• “Teak-trimmed glass doors.”

Joanne Rowling

British author and philanthopist

Net worth: $1 billion

J.K. Rowling rose from being a single mother living on welfare to a billionaire thanks to her fantasy series, Harry Potter. In 2020, Forbes named Rowling the second highest-paid author in the world. She now supports a large number of philanthropic causes.

Birthdate: July 31, 1965

Birthplace: Yate, Gloucestershire, England

Education: Graduated from the University of Exeter in 1987

Spouses: Jorge Arantes (1992–1993), David Murray (2001-present)

Kids: 3 (1 child with Arantes and 2 with Murray)

Residence: London, England, and Edinburgh and Aberfeldy, Scotland

What is J.K. Rowling’s net worth?

Although spending $19 million on a yacht sounds frivolous, it didn’t lighten Rowling’s wallet much. After watching her sales from the Harry Potter series grow, Rowling reportedly began earning about $50 million to $100 million a year, according to Celebrity Net Worth . Today, her net worth is estimated to be $1 billion, though the media outlet says the author denies being a billionaire.

Not only has the Harry Potter series generated significant sales (and profit for Rowling), but it gave rise to other money-making opportunities, including The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando, merchandise, and major motion pictures.

While a great deal of Rowling’s net worth can be attributed to the money she makes off of book royalties , she also made money from “movie advances, movie rights, merchandise, and more,” allowing her to spend freely on yachts and make large charitable donations.

What Yacht does J.K. Rowling Own?

• Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest Youtube

NYC fashion writer blogging about all things lux. Attending New…

J.K. Rowling is one of the wealthiest authors in the world, and it’s no surprise that she owns a luxury yacht. But what yacht does she own?

J.K. Rowling, the author behind the wizarding world of Harry Potter, is no stranger to luxury. While her mainstay remains storytelling, her net worth has afforded her the opportunity to own one of the maritime pinnacles of luxury: a yacht. Rowling’s yacht was called the Amphitrite, a 56-meter motor vessel equipped with a multitude of high-end amenities. Even though Rowling sold the yacht in 2016, the Amphitrite continues to bear her signature.

Also did J.K. Rowling buy Johnny Depp’s yacht? Get all the details!

History of the Amphitrite

The Amphitrite has a storied provenance before its Rowling-era fame. Crafted by Turquoise Yachts in Turkey, this 56-meter masterpiece was launched in 2009. The yacht was originally owned by actor Johnny Depp and bore the name Vajoliroja—a portmanteau of the names of his then-girlfriend Vanessa Paradis and their two children, Lily-Rose and Jack.

Depp owned the yacht until 2015, when Rowling took ownership for a reported sum of $27 million. She renamed the vessel Amphitrite. Interestingly, Rowling parted ways with the Amphitrite in 2016, selling it for $19.2 million. Today, it sails under the flag of a U.S. businessman and goes by the name Arriva.

Inside the Amphitrite

The Amphitrite could house up to 10 guests across its four guest cabins and a master suite. The vessel also offered a full staff complement, employing a crew of five to ensure the ultimate level of comfort and service. As for amenities, it boasted a gym, Jacuzzi, sauna, and a selection of watersports equipment, making it the epitome of maritime indulgence.

Rowling’s Affair with the Amphitrite

During her tenure as the Amphitrite’s owner, Rowling did more than just vacation on it. The yacht served as a serene haven for her, friends, and family. In a 2015 interview, Rowling shared that she cherished the yacht as a “great place to relax and escape from the world.” The space, the amenities, and the opportunity for solitude contributed to her affinity for the yacht.

While it wasn’t used for any book launches or Harry Potter sequels, the Amphitrite was a sanctuary where Rowling could recharge her creative batteries. The yacht also played host to charity events, reflecting Rowling’s philanthropic inclinations.

Post-Sale and Chartering Ventures

Approximately two years after becoming the owner of the Amphitrite, J.K. Rowling chose to list the yacht for sale. The asking price was a cool $19.2 million. Beyond simply selling the yacht, Rowling took a unique approach by also making it available for charter. For those looking to taste the same level of luxury once enjoyed by the author, the yacht could be chartered for about $130,000 per week, not factoring in additional expenses such as fuel, food, and crew gratuities.

The Brokerage Mystery

While the yacht’s current whereabouts remain somewhat of a maritime enigma, there is some speculation worth noting. Industry murmurs suggest that the yacht was listed and eventually sold through Curtis Stokes at Curtis Stokes & Associates, a brokerage firm known for handling high-value yachts. While unconfirmed, if true, this would signify that the vessel had changed hands through a broker of noteworthy reputation.

Ownership Status

In clear terms, Rowling no longer owns the Amphitrite. Whether you refer to it by its original name, Vajoliroja, or its current moniker, Arriva, this floating indulgence is no longer part of Rowling’s portfolio. Though she had it for a brief period, during that time, the yacht served multiple purposes: a sanctuary for relaxation, a hub for social gatherings, and even a space for philanthropic activities. Even after its sale, the Amphitrite remains an intriguing footnote in Rowling’s expansive history of luxurious ownerships.

This added dimension to the Amphitrite’s journey post-Rowling adds another layer of complexity to the yacht’s already fascinating story. It’s a tangible example of how, even after the sale, luxury items like this continue to navigate through networks of affluence and opulence, always ready for the next chapter.

Environmental Considerations

While owning a yacht exudes a level of success and opulence, it’s worth acknowledging the environmental implications that come with such luxury. Yachts are known for their high fuel consumption and resultant greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, they can disturb marine ecosystems.

However, a conscious yacht owner can mitigate some of these impacts by utilizing cleaner fuels and adopting energy-efficient technologies. The larger point here is that yacht ownership comes with a certain level of responsibility to the planet.

Pursuitist Final Take

The Amphitrite—once the floating palace of J.K. Rowling—illustrates that when it comes to maritime luxury, few stones are left unturned. While Rowling only owned the luxury yacht for a year, she utilized it as a private retreat and a venue for philanthropic efforts. Though she has since parted ways with this sea-faring spectacle, the Amphitrite remains tethered to her name, encapsulating a brief but memorable chapter in her life of affluence. And while the allure of yachting is undeniable, it offers a moment to reflect on the environmental responsibilities that come with extreme luxury.
