By Adrian Prisca

Updated on May 20, 2023

The rich and famous certainly have a different lifestyle from us regular folks, but we love to see how extravagantly they live. Once they make it to a certain status, owning a yacht is like second-nature, or a rite of passage.

Some of the glamorous amenities onboard those yachts are unheard of, but having all that money can buy pretty much whatever their heart desires.

A love for the sea is what all those celebrities have in common, plus a need to escape constant snapshots from paparazzis. On their own private yachts, they get to relax and be themselves, also spending some quality time with their friends and family.

Have you ever dreamt about sailing on a luxury yacht? Most likely, we all did at some point. And since we like to delve a little deeper into our favorite celebrities’ lives, we thought a good way is by making a list of the luxurious yachts they own.

Without further ado, here are the 25 most incredible celebrity yachts in the world.

• 24. The Maraya – Sean “Diddy” Combs’s Yacht

Hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has had a successful music career that set him up for a luxurious life. His private yacht, the Maraya, has a staff of ten. It features a stage with a party floor that has a built-in bar on the top deck and a projector screen. If you know how the hip hop star runs, it’s no surprise he took things up a notch aboard his own yacht.

• 23. Axioma – Kendall Jenner’s Yacht

One of the world’s highest paying models is one of the most famous women in the world. Part of the Kardashian family, she rents out the Axioma regularly. Not the actual owner per se, it costs her about half a million dollars a week. She spent her 19th birthday onboard this yacht while vacationing in Monaco. The boat has a few jacuzzis, a steam room, a gym, a cinema, along with many other amenities.

• 22. Freedom – Roberto Cavalli’s Yacht

A co-designer for his bat-mobile look-a-like superyacht, Cavalli designed its interior mostly in animal print. The high-end goods mogul has made a fortune from his decades’ long career. At the moment, he’s enjoying as much time as he can on his favorite yacht. Sleek and stylish, the 90-foot vessel can go up to top speed of 40 knots.

• 21. Vantage – Calvin Klein’s Yacht

American fashion designer Calvin Klein is known for hosting parties for some of the most famous socialites and highest personalities in the world. Aboard Vantage, there is plenty of room to invite up to 12 guests at a time to spend a few nights. The yacht features a few entertainment rooms, six cabins, a few hot tubs, several bars, all decorated with top-notch designs.

• 20. Beethoven – Rafael Nadal’s Yacht

Tennis superstar Rafael Nadal is one of the top players ever, following Federer closely. His work ethic and perseverance makes him one of the best paid athletes of the last couple of decades. He loves his automobiles, but he loves spending time on the water as well. The 76-foot MCY yacht has its own swimming pool, a spa, multiple entertainment rooms and bars.

• 19. Wajer 77 – Tom Brady’s Yacht

Tom Brady acquired the Wajer 77 only a few short months after purchasing the Wajer 55. He upgraded to the larger model that fits nine passengers in order to accommodate his family for weekend trips. They regularly head over to the Bahamas from their East Coast Florida home, so this yacht is more suitable for their lifestyle.

• 18. Galactica Star – Beyonce and Jay Z’s Yacht

Superstar singer and songwriter Beyonce is a force to be reckoned with. Together with her equally influential husband, Jay-Z, they are loaded. Hence, they own a yacht that is appropriate for their celebrity status.

The Galactica is a 213-foot juggernaut that accommodates up to 12 guests. Lavish decor is to be expected from the music icon, and the many luxurious amenities are out of this world. The yacht features its own helipad and a swimming pool.

• 17. Rising Sun – Leonardo DiCaprio’s Yacht

DiCaprio is one of the highest paid actors in the history of Hollywood, which makes him also one of the most famous. Although quiet in the last couple of years, we assume it is because he spends lots of time aboard this monster yacht, that actually belongs to music producer billionaire David Geffen.

It is believed that the Rising Sun is the eleventh largest yacht on the planet. Tailor-made for someone like the Wolf of Wall Street, it features its own basketball court, cinema, wine cellar, and it has its own helipad, among many other mind-blowing amenities.

David Geffen’s parties are glamorous bashes that people talk about for weeks afterwards, and guests are just as rich and famous as he is. He hangs with the likes of Oprah, the Obamas, Julia Roberts, and of course, Leonardo DiCaprio, just to name a few.

• 16. Seven Seas – Steven Spielberg’s Yacht

Famous film director and screenwriter Steven Spielberg is worth more than 3 billion dollars. The biggest Hollywood director ever made his name back in 1975 with the movie Jaws. His luxury yacht the Seven Seas, is a 282 foot, or 86-meters long ship.

Sir Philip Green grew the Arcadia Group from a simple company to a retail giant. His yacht, the LionHeart, was designed by Benetti, and is 206-foot long.

• 14. Va Bene – Eric Clapton’s Yacht

Eric Clapton is one of the most widely-known singers/songwriters in the world, and his celebrity status brought him a luxurious lifestyle. His 157 foot luxury yacht, Va Bene, was previously owned by Bernie Ecclestone.

• 13. Main – Giorgio Armani’s Yacht

Fashion designer Giorgio Armani is often seen sailing the seas in his luxury yacht, Main. The design of the yacht matches the fashion magnate’s flair. Classy yet fashionable, the interior of the all-black yacht frequently attracts photographers that like to use it for their contracts.

His second yacht is named Maria, after his mother, and it is equally luxurious. But the Main is his favorite, so you’ll see him spending most of his time aboard.

• 12. Cyan – Bono’s Yacht

When he needs to get away to recover after a busy life on the road, rockstar Bono retreats to his luxury yacht Cyan. Built by Codecasa, it often goes by its other name, Kingdom Come. This 160 foot, or 49 meters long yacht can go as fast as 20 knots.

The vessel has a baby grand piano, of course. Among other amenities, you will find wave runners, snorkeling gear, kite surfers, and its own swimming pool.

• 11. Venus –  Steve Jobs’s Yacht

Steve Jobs wanted Phillippe Stark to build this yacht a few years before he passed. Unfortunately he never got to see the final result, but his widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, still owns it today. Inspired by the Apple store designs, the vessel has many glass features and is run by a group of 27-inch iMac computers.

The top-of-the-line electronic communication system is one of the best, and it facilitated on-board messaging. The yacht has six bedrooms, so it can accommodate up to 12 guests.

• 10. Privacy – Tiger Woods’s Yacht

One of the greatest golfers in the world lives up to his celebrity status. Although he’s seen his share of controversy a few years back, he’s still one of the most popular celebrities on the planet. His yacht, named Privacy, is 154 feet, or 47 meters long.

It’s so comfy that he uses it as a second home when he’s playing in major tournaments away from home. The jacuzzi, decompression chamber, and wet bar help the athlete and nine other guests unwind and relax.

Named for the fashion maven’s parents, Teresa and Mauro, the TM Blue One is Garavani’s essential hotspot for himself and his entourage. His yacht is designed by architect Peter Marino, the same one who also designed his New York apartment.

Launched by the acclaimed yacht brand Lurssen, this incredible sailing yacht was stylish and simply beautiful, and it saw many lavish high-society gatherings. It used to be one of the longest yachts in the world at 305 feet in length. That’s before it caught fire outside of Norway back in 2012. Thankfully, no casualties were reported.

• 5. Vajoliroja – Johnny Depp’s Yacht

If there’s been one celebrity that caused a lot of gossip in the last couple of months, it’s none other than Johnny Depp. But we’re not here to talk about that.

• 3. Eclipse – Roman Abramovich’s Yacht

With an estimated net worth of over 12 billion dollars, oligarch Abramovich is the owner of Norilsk Nickel, Millhouse LLC, Evraz, and football team Chelsea FC.

Still, he is one of the richest men in the world, and his favorite yacht, the Eclipse, is one of the biggest privately-owned yachts in the world.

It is 533 feet long, has two helipads, two swimming pools, and a mini-submarine. With 24 cabins, a few hot tubs, and a disco hall, he can invite numerous guests aboard for a good time.

• 2. Seven – David and Victoria Beckham’s Yacht

David Beckham is the new owner of this Riva Argo 90, which he named Seven, after his iconic football shirt number. The boat was constructed by Ferretti Engineering Department for naval architecture. Officina Italiana Design are responsible for the design of both the interior and exterior of the yacht. The MTU diesel engine allows it to go up to 30 knots.

It was launched in October 2021, and it has some pretty cool features. Among its most standout designs is the sun lounging spot on the foredeck. They also own The Seafair, which is nicknamed ‘The Sophisticated Lady”, for Victoria.

1. Topaz (or A+) – Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s Yacht

The Deputy Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nayhan, owns one of the longest yachts to sail the waters. Mostly known as “Sheik Mansour”, he is the Manchester City owner, among many other holdings. At 482 feet long, or 147 meters, it is longer than some cruise ships. We are all curious to find out how the interior looks, but he’s a very private person, and no pictures are available.

So we are all left to speculate, but we can only imagine the luxurious amenities the yacht contains on-board. What we do know is that the yacht has its own cinema, swimming pools, on-deck jacuzzis, and its own helipad.

• Final Thoughts

9 Stars Who Own Ultraluxurious Yachts

By Rachel Davies

Luxury doesn’t stop once you leave the land, or even at private jets. Behold the celebrity yacht, something the most opulent individuals keep on hand so they can extravagantly take to the seas at a moment’s notice. Some, like Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck or Kylie Jenner , merely charter yachts for a few weeks a year, but others, with a true commitment to the nautical lifestyle, pony up the millions it costs to buy and maintain a massive boat year after year. Below, we detail some of the best and biggest celebrity yachts (and the parties that take place aboard!).

Giorgio Armani

“I want this boat for the rest of my life, or for what remains of it,” Giorgio Armani told British Vogue during their visit to the yacht he meticulously designed himself, known as the Maín . The perfectly polished all black boat, complete with tinted windows throughout, is an impressive antidote to the sea of entirely white yachts at most docks. His previous boat, the Mariù , was equally as stylish, and he welcomed AD aboard in 2003.

Diane von Furstenberg

Eos , the yacht of Diane von Furstenberg and her husband Barry Diller, is said to be one of the largest in the world . The couple clearly takes advantage of all that room—just take the well documented trip to Tahiti they took with Anderson Cooper, Alison Williams, Bradley Cooper, Irina Shayk, and Andy Cohen, among others, as proof.

It’s no surprise that multibillionaire Jeff Bezos has a yacht of his own. The Amazon founder’s $500 million boat is on track to be ready this June, years after he commissioned it in 2018 . Bezos has recently faced backlash for requesting that a bridge in Rotterdam, Netherlands, be dismantled so his massive yacht can pass through the town later this year.

Andrea Bocelli

The lavish lifestyle of opera star Andrea Bocelli wouldn’t be complete without a yacht. The star singer has owned eight different vessels over the last two decades, and in 2018 he replaced his 72-foot Gamma 22 Libertas with an 86-foot-long Darwin 86 called the Stella del Nord .

Tiger Woods

The Privacy.

According to Golf , Tiger Woods’s yacht Privacy is something of a second home to the athlete, who sleeps on board when he’s away from home at major championship tournaments. Nine other guests could easily sleep on the boat, and enjoy the jacuzzi, wet bar, and decompression chamber.

Just six months after buying a $2 million mini yacht, the Wajer 55s, Tom Brady spent $6 million on the Wajer 77, with a sleeping capacity of nine, more than double the first boat’s capacity. “I think the 77 will be a little more suited for what we need it for down here, which is a few more day trips and weekend trips,” Brady said in a video announcing the Wajer 77. “We spend a lot of time in the Bahamas, so going from the east coast of Florida across into the Bahamas and around the Bahamas would be really great trips for us as a family.”

David Geffen

The Rising Sun.

Billionaire movie and music produce r David Geffen’s $590 million yacht, the Rising Sun , easily trumps Jeff Bezos’s and the parties Geffen’s thrown onboard rival those that Diane von Fursternberg has hosted. The Obamas, Steven Spielberg, JJ Abrams, Oprah , and Julia Roberts are among the many big names who’ve rode on the Rising Sun , which reportedly counts a double-height cinema and basketball court among its list of luxurious amenities.

Tommy Hilfiger

The Wajer 77.

Appropriate for the designer known for his love of red, white, and blue, Tommy Hilfiger’s yacht is named the Flag . Hilfiger has owned the boat which he calls his “most prized possession” for five years now, and over that time, he’s added his Americana-inspired touch to the classy interiors that were designed by Chahan Minassian.

Valentino Garavani

The TM Blue One . 

Fashion maven Valentino Garavani has owned his yacht, TM Blue One, since 1988, and yet it still remains an essential hot spot for his family and celebrity pals. The yacht is named for his parents, Teresa and Mauro, and was designed by Peter Marino, the architect who designed his New York apartment, too. Though the pastime du jour is unknown, it’s said that all guests were encouraged to take up needlepoint while on board back in the 90s.

29 Most Expensive Celebrity Yachts, Ranked by Value

Celebrities consistently create demand in the private yacht market. If a celebrity’s net worth is in the high millions or more, they can certainly afford to indulge in luxury superyachts, which can cost well into seven figures or more and have six- to seven-figure annual operating costs.

The main reason that celebrities like yachting is that they can enjoy intimate, low-key trips with friends and family, out of reach of paparazzi cameras. Tiger Woods enjoys personal time aboard his yacht so much that he named the ship Privacy and even sleeps on board when he travels to golf tournaments.

Even if celebrities don’t own a yacht, they may charter them, as Rihanna and Beyonce do, for quiet time away from the spotlight. After traveling on a friend’s yacht, or chartering one, a celebrity may decide to take the plunge and buy one themselves. That’s what happened to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling after she chartered actor Johnny Depp’s yacht. The Beckhams decided to get their own vessel after spending summers on the Mediterranean with their good friend Sir Elton John on his yacht Wabi Sabi. Some celebrities, such as Apple founder Steve Jobs, singer Billy Joel or fashion designer Roberto Cavalli, were involved in every step of creating their own customized yacht. 

So, which celebrity yachts are the most expensive and extravagant? We made a list of the top ones — some of which have been sold in recent years, possibly due to their high operating costs, but will always be identified with their iconic celebrity owners. We then ranked the yachts by their current value, adjusted for inflation.

Yachts owned by celebrities

Tell me the VIP you are and I’ll tell you the yacht you own!

Sportsmen, musicians, and songwriters, not to mention wealthy entrepreneurs and prominent personalities. What unites them with each other? Fame, glory, and yes, wealth, you may think. Well, also but not only! One of the hallmarks of a VIP worthy of this name is the way he spends his holidays: aboard a superyacht of course!

Why do all VIPs want to own a yacht?

Obviously, this type of boat is aimed only at a certain type of clientele, that of the super-rich, obviously, but what drives them to buy these luxurious giants of the sea, in addition to their enormous economic possibility? Firstly, a much more earthly aspect counts confidentiality. What better place than your own yacht to seek some privacy away from photographers and paparazzi?

Anchored off the coast of beautiful bays or luxurious marinas, the boat becomes the most discreet place to spend intimate moments in total tranquility or to organize exclusive private parties with tens or hundreds of guests.

Which categories do the VIP owners of superyachts belong to?

The category that seems to dominate in terms of the number of owners is certainly that of sportsmen. Footballers, football players, and fighters are among the most classic vessel owners but also tennis players and NBA stars.

Movie stars and singers are no less, while there are few but very well-known successful entrepreneurs who love to sail with their giants of the sea.

What is the type of superyacht bought by celebrities?

Spacious, ultra-luxury but also extravagant or even vintage and retro.

These are the characteristics that most seem to unite the most sought-after superyachts on the market by VIPs from all over the world.

As it is easy to guess, those who don’t need to spare expenses to make their houseboat as precious and technological as possible can reach extremes such as the famous and superb History Supreme and Eclipse, valued billions of dollars and owned by Arab sheiks and tycoons and Russians.

However, there is no shortage of distinctions. Some of them gladly opt for vintage sailing ships or even unlikely very particular boats.

Yacht-a, yacht-a, yacht-a.

Experts at Ritzy Charters have revealed a list of the 10 most expensive yachts afloat — and the top three are worth a whopping $1.29 billion combined, exceeding the GDP of some smaller countries.

“Luxury yachts are more than just a symbol of wealth; they not only provide incredibly gorgeous views but a level of privacy to those onboard who want a sense of relaxation that you can’t get from anywhere other than chartering across oceans,” a spokesperson for the company said in a statement .

#1 David Geffen, “The Rising Sun”

Riding high at the top of the list is media magnate David Geffen’s The Rising Sun , worth a jaw-dropping $590 million.

Originally owned by tech mogul Larry Ellison, the superyacht cost an estimated $200 million to build back in 2004. The classy craft measures more than 452 feet long and features a basketball court, a helicopter landing pad and a wine cellar — even a movie theater.

Boldfacers who’ve accepted invitations to sail on the elite vessel include Oprah, Stephen Spielberg, Barack Obama and Julia Roberts.

Geffen purchased the vessel — which holds 18 guests and 55 crew members in its 82 rooms — in 2010.

#2 Jeff Bezos, “Koru”

Second on the list is the Koru , owned by none other than Amazon founder Jeff Bezos .

The behemoth, triple-masted yacht — reportedly worth an impressive $500 million — is the largest billionaire yacht that can venture into the high seas by sail power only.

Hosting celebs like Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry, Koru features a pool, hot tub, bars, multiple dining spaces and a masthead modeled after the mogul’s fiancee, Lauren Sanchez .

#3 Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg, “Eos”

In third place is the Eos, which belongs to fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg and her husband, Barry Diller, who purchased the ship in 2009 for $200 million, Ritzy Charters reports.

The 305-foot long superyacht, which features a glass staircase, a jacuzzi and a figurehead of von Furstenberg herself, accommodates up to 14 travelers.

#4 Laurene Powell, “Venus”

The $120 million, Phillippe Starck-designed Venus, owned by Steve Jobs’ widow Laurene Powell, comes in fourth, measuring in at 225 feet. Powell does not use the yacht often and does not charter it out either, according to YachtWorld — she was last spotted using it in Barbados, nearly a year ago.

#5 Sean “Diddy” Combs, “The Maraya”

In fifth is Sean “Diddy” Combs’ 177-foot yacht named The Maraya, which cost the rapper an estimated $65 million, back in 2012.

The boat can be chartered for $300,000 per week, and holds up to 12 seafarers in six cabins. There’s a gym, jacuzzi and even a personal chef.

#6 Georgio Armani, “Main”

Fashion designer Georgio Armani’s $64 million “Main,” honoring a nickname given to his mother, is a sleek, dark 213-footer, designed by Italian firm Codecasa. The already impressive ship will soon be bested by something even bigger and more sleek; the new craft is due to set sail in 2024.

#7 Jackie Chan, “Jinlong 4601”

The famed martial artist spent two years waiting for his impressive superyacht, built in China and said to be worth $46 million.

#8 Sir Elton John, “Wabi Sabi”

Designed for going off the grid, or at least something like it, the $29.1 million craft has been spotted in all kinds of remote locations around the globe. As of earlier this year, the American-made pleasure cruiser was reportedly up for sale; in the meantime, it was being offered for rent at an eye-watering $195,000 per week.

#9 Tiger Woods, “Privacy”

There’s an 8-person jacuzzi on deck aboard the $29 million “Privacy,” delivered in 2004 and considered to be one of the plushest yachts in its class.

#10 J.K. Rowling, Amphitrite

Formerly belonging to Johnny Depp — and named Amphitrite by the movie star in honor of then-partner Amber Heart, the relatively modest but impressive boat was sold to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling some years back. The classic style is a departure from the sleek, modern look favored by other owners.

1. Giorgio Armani’s “Main” 

Our voyage through the realm of celebrity-owned yachts begins with Main, an elegant vessel owned by the renowned fashion icon Giorgio Armani. While it might not command the same scale as some of its counterparts, Main measures approximately 65 meters and can accommodate up to 12 guests in addition to 14 crewmembers. The vessel serves as an extension of Armani’s unwavering commitment to aesthetics. Armani designed the interiors himself, taking a meticulous hand with the details to echo the timeless elegance that his brand epitomizes.

2. Jeff Bezos’ “Koru”

As the 3rd richest person in the world, it was only a matter of time before Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, set his sights on an extraordinary nautical venture. Koru is a maritime marvel, with a commanding length of 127 meters, crafted by the renowned shipbuilders at Oceano in the Netherlands.

The superyacht boasts a three-masted schooner design, combining a robust steel hull with a lightweight aluminum superstructure. Koru primarily relies on kinetic energy generated by towering sails, but is equipped with engine power for when the winds calm down. This celebrity owned yacht can accommodate up to 18 guests and a crew of 36 people.

3. Rafael Nadal’s “Great White”

Great White is the yacht owned by tennis maestro Rafael Nadal. Designed by Sunreef Yachts, the vessel reflects Nadal’s pursuit of excellence and his appreciation for respite. At approximately 24 meters, the smaller size of Great White suggests that it’s designed for relaxation and simple exploration , providing a serene escape from the demands of Nadal’s athletic career. Great White can accommodate up to 8 guests across a 4- cabin layout. The interior was designed to feel like home for Nadal, as he aims to merge the comforts of his life on land with his passion for the sea.

4. Roman Abramovich’s “Eclipse” 

At 162.5 meters in length, Roman Abramovich’s Eclipse is the largest, privately-owned superyacht in the world and the 3 rd longest yacht in the world. Abramovich is a Russian Billionaire better known for his ownership of the Chelsea Football Club. However, Eclipse adds to his reputation as a showcase of his penchant for opulence, setting new standards for luxury and security on the water.

This colossal vessel boasts two helipads, a swimming pool with a retractable roof, multiple jacuzzies, and even an onboard missile defense system. Eclipse can accommodate a crew of 66 and up to 36 guests and can reach a top speed of 21.5 knots.

5. The Edge’s “Cyan”

U2’s The Edge–also known as David Howell Evans – owns the superyacht Cyan. While it might not be the grandest in size, at approximately 49 meters, the vessel exudes a sense of understated elegance and merges the wealth and luxury of yachting with The Edge’s rock-and-roll style.

In place of high-tech security systems and dual helipads, Cyan boasts an intimate atmosphere perfect for creating cherished family memories. Perhaps that’s why The Edge has opened Cyan for charters. The vessel can accommodate up to 12 guests and a crew of 11, and is well-known for having one of the best outdoor cinemas found on a superyacht.

She can reach a top speed of 17 knots and has an ocean-crossing range of 5,000 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 12 knots.

Regina d’Italia is currently not openly listed on the charter market.

• Luxury Yacht Transformation: Ace to Eye, A Tale of Personalization

O ne man’s personalized luxury yacht may not suit another’s tastes, not due to inferior quality, but because it fails to resonate with the new owner’s preferences. This truth was exemplified by the transformation of Lurssen’s renowned superyacht, Ace.

Launched in 2012, Ace, an 85-meter vessel with interior and exterior design by Andrew Winch, was tailored for Ukrainian billionaire Yuriy Kosiuk. Boasting 2,723 GT of interior volume, it catered to Kosiuk’s vision of a family-centric retreat equipped with unprecedented luxuries and innovative design elements.

Despite being a symbol of opulence, Ace was later listed for sale in 2020, eventually finding a new owner after a slight price adjustment. Post-acquisition, the yacht underwent a significant refit, including a name change to Eye, symbolizing a fresh chapter under anonymous ownership.

Eye’s transformation, conducted at MB92 in Barcelona, Spain, was shrouded in secrecy, culminating in a redesign that eliminated Ace’s distinctive “eyes” feature, opting for a more conventional aesthetic.

While the exterior alterations may suggest a departure from its predecessor’s identity, the interior remains undisclosed, leaving speculation about the extent of modifications and whether Eye will enter the charter market.

lexus expands LY680 yacht's swimming platform and flybridge to fit a barbecue grill on deck

Lexus expands ly680 luxury yacht’s flybridge.

At the Japan International Boat Show 2024, Lexus unveiled the 1/20 scale model of its new LY680 Luxury Yacht , an upgrade of the previous LY650 water vehicle . Lexus’ latest model comes with an expanded swimming platform and flybridge to accommodate more guests on deck. The extended flybridge, which measures 1,400mm, now features a spacious lounge area and a dedicated barbecue grill, while the swimming platform has been expanded by 700mm to accommodate additional guests who wish to take a dip in the sea.

When Lexus conceived the idea for its LY680 Luxury Yacht, even before its debut at the Japan International Boat Show 2024 , the design team aimed to create a water vehicle that would feel like a ‘tranquil hideaway at sea.’ They imagined it as a moving space where ‘discerning customers could feel free and at ease.’ The resulting concept was a three-level luxury yacht equipped with living spaces that make the LY680 feel like a deluxe apartment on the sea.

The passengers enter the Lexus’ LY680 Luxury Yacht, and when they descend, they can find a kidney-shaped sofa nestled in one corner. Adjacent to the sofa is a desk with a plush seat, tailored as a workspace at sea for those who still need to hustle. Panoramic windows adorn the space, offering views of the waters and allowing natural light to flood in. The use of dark, varnished wood adds a sense of opulence to the interior, and across from the sofa and desk, a semi-circular bed invites passengers to relax while watching the waves and scenery through slanted windows.

Walking up to the control area, the captain of Lexus’ LY680 Luxury Yacht navigates the water vehicle with ease through the expansive set of windows. The openness of the space is further enhanced by plush seating, two of them reminiscent of cinema seats. Even the wooden floors help brighten up the overall aesthetic. During the Japan International Boat Show 2024, where yacht enthusiasts could view the 1/20 scale model of the LY680, Lexus revealed that the luxury yacht can accommodate up to 15 passengers across three rooms with six beds.

Twin Volvo engines for Lexus’ LY680 Luxury Yacht

For those interested in specifications, Lexus’ LY680 Luxury Yacht is expected to be equipped with Twin Volvo IPS 1350/1050 engines and have a fuel tank capacity of 4,012 liters and a fresh water tank capacity of 852 liters. Production of the luxury yacht will be carried out by the Horizon Group, based on the Toyota Production System. Lexus has announced that yacht enthusiasts can reserve their water vehicle model through Toyota Marine sales offices in Japan and select dealerships. As of publishing, Lexus aims to deliver the first batch of the LY680 Luxury Yacht in Spring 2026, with international availability pending based on customer demand.

Jeff Bezos to David Beckham: 10 celebrity yachts that put palaces to shame

Luxurious yachts symbolise not just wealth but power too. Since celebrities — be it in entertainment, sports or business — have both, owning a yacht becomes a matter of status among these immensely affluent.

However, while some celebrities have more than one, others have never owned any. Chief among them are Beyoncé, who is known for chartering yachts, and Leonardo DiCaprio, who has previously holidayed on some yachts owned by his celebrity friends.

At the same time, some celebrities have also sold their yachts. These include Va Bene , which   was owned by Eric Clapton, while Seven Seas was sold by Steven Spielberg in 2021.

Floating palaces on the water

Celebrity yachts are similar to those owned by powerful royals or political leaders around the globe. All of them exude luxury through their design and amenities while having some of the best security systems on board.

The breathtaking interiors of a luxury yacht are designed, keeping in mind the refined tastes of the owners. Therefore, the very best furnishings and the finest materials are used in the construction of the vessels.

Everything, from swimming pools to jacuzzi and cinema halls to dance floors, are built across the length and breadth of the yachts. They also come equipped with jet skis and other toys should their guests wish to partake in water sports.

The cabins, or suites, appear like rooms of the best luxury hotels and the décor reflects the highest of artistic tastes. Meant for utmost fun, the yachts give the owner and the guests every opportunity to unwind in peace.

Here are some celebrity-owned yachts you must know about

Giorgio armani — maìn.

The Maìn  was constructed by Codecasa in 2008 and has the rare distinction of being partly designed by its owner. However, this should not be a surprise when the owner is fashion designer Giorgio Armani — one of the greatest icons in the history of fashion.

Design is certainly a high point of the Maìn. One of the most stunning yachts in the world, it is dark green, which helps it camouflage at sea.

Armani carefully worked on the interiors of the 65-metre-long yacht along with designers Studio Dellarole and Ortelli. A minimalist colour scheme coupled with Asian aesthetics, such as Japanese-style low tables, dominates the décor across rooms and the main salon. The blinds, windows and furniture have been created by Armani and his namesake brand.

There are seven suites built to accommodate 12 guests.

Tiger Woods — Privacy

Among the most famous luxury yachts owned by celebrities, the Privacy  is known for having the legendary golfer on board on important tours.

Woods, who was in March 2022 inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame, stayed on it during the 2019 PGA Championship at Long Island, the 2018 US Open at Shinnecock Hills and the 2006 US Open at Winged Foot.

The Privacy  was purchased by Woods in 2004. At the time, he paid USD 20 million for the 48-meter-long vessel. It has five cabins for 10 guests.

Among its most attractive luxury features is a jacuzzi on the deck where up to eight guests can take a dip at a time. There is a bar and a cinema room for some winding down. A gym in the yacht helps Woods maintain his regular fitness routine when he is on board the Privacy . There is also a decompression chamber for scuba diving, jet skis, ocean kayaks and motorised scooters.

David Geffen — Rising Sun

The Rising Sun  measures 138 metres and is one of the most iconic celebrity superyachts. Built in 2004, Geffen bought it six years later from Oracle founder Larry Ellison.

The founder of Geffen Records and co-founder of DreamWorks Pictures, Geffen is a billionaire known for his love of yachts. After buying the Rising Sun , he used it to host his galaxy of friends from Hollywood’s A-list, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom and Chris Rock. Even Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder and one of the world’s richest men, was seen holidaying on it with his girlfriend Lauren Sánchez in 2019.

According to Esquire , Geffen paid USD 590 million for the superyacht. However, Forbes valued it at USD 570 million in 2020.

The Rising Sun was built by German shipbuilder Lürssen and styled by Seccombe Design. Its exterior features some engineering masterpieces and has the signature of Jon Bannenberg of the Bannenberg & Rowell firm.

Of the five decks, the top deck has been designed entirely for owner use. There are luxurious rooms for 18 guests. The guest cabins are crafted to provide direct access to the exterior side decks of the vessel, while the remaining are sheltered from the weather by indents. The vessel houses a spa, a gym, a helipad, a swimming platform and a double-height cinema.

The Rising Sun  can cruise easily at 26 knots and has a top speed of 30 knots.

The Edge — Cyan

In September 2021, U2’s lead guitarist The Edge and frontman Bono were seen holidaying on the Cyan in Ibiza.

The Edge, whose actual name is David Howell Evans, bought the superyacht in 2008 for a reported GBP 12 million (between USD 17-20 million at the time). It was refurbished by his wife Morleigh Steinberg the year it was purchased.

One of the most famous celebrity yachts in the world, the Cyan  was originally built in 1997 and is easily identifiable by its dark hull.

The 48.7-metre-long vessel has six luxurious cabins which can house up to 12 people. The master suite is located on the main deck.

There are many avenues for relaxation and entertainment on the yacht. Among them are a three-metre outdoor cinema screen and a movie library with more than 1,500 titles.

There are several toys for those who would like to take part in water sports. These include wakeboards, inflatables and WaveRunners. Some of these were seen when The Edge and Bono were in Ibiza.

David and Victoria Beckham — Seven

In April 2022, power couple David and Victoria Beckham were seen spending time with their children, parents and friends on board the Seven  off the coast of Miami, US. The family was vacationing ahead of the marriage of the couple’s eldest son, Brooklyn, to Nicola Peltz.

The Seven , which is named after the English footballer’s jersey number, was built in 2021. The vessel is part of the Riva 90′ Argo family of flybridge yachts.

Ferretti Engineering Department built the 28.5-metre-long vessel, while Mauro Micheli’s Studio Officina Italiana Design worked on both its interior and exterior.

Its sun lounging space is located on the foredeck. The main saloon, dubbed Crystal Palace by its makers, has large glass windows and a dark lacquered ceiling. Its aft deck is almost all glass and therefore, creates an infinity view of the sea.

Rafael Nadal — Great White

The tennis great gifted himself the yacht on his 34th birthday in 2020 and named it the Great White . It reportedly cost him USD 6.2 million.

One of the most famous yachts owned by celebrities, the 23.95-metre-long vessel was built by Sunreef Yachts in Poland and delivered to Nadal’s hometown of Mallorca, Spain. The Great White  is a fully customised Sunreef 80’ Power catamaran, which is basically a two-hull vessel.

Nadal himself worked on the interior design of the yacht. The colours beige, coffee and cream — all of which are the Spaniard’s favourites — dominate the 371.6 square metres of the living space of the yacht.

There is a large main saloon connected to the front terrace. The flybridge on the Great White  offers sun pads for guests and has a fully equipped wet bar and a barbecue. There is also a waterfall-fed spa pool.

The vessel has four guest cabins luxuriously fitted for 10 guests. Nadal’s own suite, which is on the main deck, has a private fold-out balcony and an overhead skylight.

Like other large-sized yachts, the Great White , too, comes with its own set of toys such as jet skis in its personal garage.

Diane von Furstenberg and Barry Diller — Eos

Measuring 93 meters, the Eos is one of the world’s largest sailing yachts. Built by Lürssen in 2006, the beautiful vessel is essentially a three-masted schooner powered by a 1,740 kW MTU engine. The yacht can attain a maximum speed of 16 knots.

Diane von Furstenberg, the Belgian fashion designer renowned for her wrap dress, and her husband Barry Diller, an American businessman, bought the Eos in 2009.

While the vessel’s classic exterior was designed by the late Bill Langan, its interiors were done by François Catroux. Although details of the yacht’s interiors are not known, guests such as American television producer Andy Cohen and CNN  anchor Anderson Cooper, along with Diller himself, have shared pictures of the same.

The pictures reveal a mix of white furniture on brown wooden panelling and a wooden staircase leading to an upper deck. In a photograph of von Furstenberg taken by Diller in 2019, the designer can be seen taking a nap on a comfy couch, with throw pillows draped in cream and navy patterned covers.

The spacious Eos can accommodate up to 14 guests in seven cabins. It also reportedly has a world map mural measuring 4.2 metres created by Hand Made Maps Ltd.

Sergey Brin — Dragonfly

The Google co-founder is believed to have bought the yacht in 2009. Named after a project that the tech giant launched to bring a censored search engine to China, the Dragonfly measures 73.3 metres and is one of the most fuel-efficient vessels at sea.

Like any other luxurious celebrity yacht, the Dragonfly  comes with amenities designed for a luxurious stay. However, it is best known, in fact widely respected, for playing a major role in disaster relief missions as part of Brin’s Global Support and Development (GSD) team, which comprises ex-military men.

According to The Daily Beast , the yacht supplied 62 metric tons of freshwater to Vanuatu when the island was hit by Hurricane Pam in 2015. It was also used to treat more than 250 patients and engaged in critical medical evacuation. The Dragonfly ’s crew helped build shelters in the villages of the island. That mission launched GSD.

Ever since, Brin has been reportedly using GSD to run relief missions around the world, including earthquake-hit Ecuador and the hurricane-ravaged Bahamas, from time to time.

As for the yacht, it was valued at USD 80 million in 2020.

Roman Abramovich — Eclipse  

Abramovich, a Russian oligarch and former boss of the English Premier League club Chelsea FC, is perhaps the most famous name among superyacht owners. The Eclipse has been in his possession since he bought it for USD 590 million in 2010. Its current valuation comes to around USD 1.5 billion.

The Eclipse is, therefore, one of the most expensive celebrity yachts. Measuring 162.5 metres, the superyacht is also one of the biggest celebrity yachts.

German shipbuilder Blohm+Voss built the vessel, whose interiors were decked up by the renowned Terry Disdale of UK’s Terence Disdale Design. The beach-house style interiors showcase the finest in Art Deco.

The massive nine-deck vessel is served by around 100 crew members and can house 36 guests in its 18 über-luxurious suites. Each suite features materials such as a limed wedge, black wood with silver rubbed into the open grain, and buffalo hide. Several types of fireproof materials, such as stone, shell and fossilised wood, have also been used.

One of its many highlights is the main deck, which has a 16-metre swimming pool with a blue granite floor. At the push of a button, the pool rises to deck level and turns into a dance floor. The pool is designed in a way that guests can relax comfortably around it in an indoor setting, with glass panels closing off the sides.

Another attractive location is the rear lounge on the lower deck. The cosy setting offers one of the best views of the water while enjoying the luxurious comforts of the vessel.

Among the other amenities are a deck jacuzzi, a beauty salon, a tender garage and an exterior fireplace. The lobbies are decorated with artwork specially commissioned for the Eclipse .

The superyacht can carry three helicopters. It has two helipads — one at the foredeck and another at the sundeck. Below one of the helipads is a hangar for the third.

The Eclipse is also a high-tech yacht known for its missile detection system and bulletproof windows protecting the master suite. A submarine within the vessel is powerful enough to dive to a depth of around 50 metres.

Jeff Bezos — Y721

Multiple media reports in February 2022 indicated that Amazon’s billionaire founder Jeff Bezos has commissioned one of the world’s largest yachts.

Measuring 127 metres, the huge vessel has been dubbed Y721 and will reportedly cost Bezos around USD 500 million. It is being built by Dutch shipbuilder Oceanco in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

The vessel will have three decks and three massive masts, which makes it similar to the sailing yacht Eos  owned by Diane von Furstenberg and Barry Diller. Once ready, the Y721 will host 18 guests besides crew members. It can also accommodate jet skis and other smaller boats along with a helicopter.

Which celebrity has the most expensive and biggest yacht?

Among all the celebrities in the world, the most expensive and biggest yacht belongs to Roman Abramovich. That superyacht is named Eclipse .

Which celebrity owns more than one or most number of yachts?

Besides the Eclipse , Abramovich is also the owner of the Solaris and the Sussurro, both of which are superyachts. The Russian billionaire has previously owned a number of yachts, making him perhaps the owner of the highest numbers of mega yachts in a lifetime.

Does Jeff Bezos own a yacht?

Currently, Bezos doesn’t own any yacht, but he will once the Y721 is ready for sailing.

Which celebrity spends most of the time on yachts?

Tiger Woods appears to be one of those who loves yachts more than land. He is known to have used his vessel, Privacy , as his stay at many major tournaments near the coast.

I spent 2 nights at the Fontainebleau, the hottest new hotel in Las Vegas, and was blown away by its luxury food court

• The Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel is ushering in a new era of luxury in Sin City. 
• It even offers a luxury food court with eight different restaurants. 
• I tried nearly all of them and was blown away by the elevated bagels, pizza, and sandwiches. 

From the 55,000-square-foot spa to the $5,000-a-night VIP suites , luxury is everywhere at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas — even the food court.

I recently spent two nights at the hottest new hotel in Sin City and was blown away by the Fontainebleau's elevated spin on quick and casual dining.

From sushi by Michelin-starred chefs to one of the best pizzas I've ever had, here's everything I ate.

Fontainebleau Las Vegas is the buzziest new resort in Sin City.

Fontainebleau Las Vegas was packed with A-list celebrities when I stayed at the hotel during Super Bowl weekend , attracting everyone from Beyoncé and Jay-Z to Leonardo DiCaprio and Lady Gaga.

The 67-story hotel has 3,644 rooms, with rates starting at $300 a night, unless you're staying in one of the exclusive Fleur de Lis suites. There's also a 150,000-square-foot casino, a 14-000-square-foot gym, and LIV, the brand-new nightclub.

And we haven't even gotten to the food.

The hotel has 36 restaurants, many of which offer extravagant dishes.

Fontainebleau Las Vegas features a wide variety of dining options, paying homage to the hotel's Miami roots by bringing in hot spots like Papi Steak, KYU, and Komodo. It's also smartly nabbed the second location for super buzzy names like Mother Wolf and Contramar.

You can get a $1,000 55-ounce Wagyu tomahawk steak, a $400-per-person omakase experience, or a $265 golden chicken covered in black truffles and foie gras. But fine dining isn't the only kind that Fontainebleau offers.

Promenade is the Fontainebleau's luxury food court.

Described on the Fontainebleau's website as a "vibrant gourmet adventure," Promenade offers six different restaurants. There's everything from pizza and bagels to sandwiches and tacos, plus Michelin-starred sushi and celebrity-chef burgers.

I visited Promenade three times with my boyfriend during our Fontainebleau stay, and we tried nearly every restaurant. We even bumped into DJ John Summit, who has a residency at LIV and told us the Promenade is his favorite place to eat at the resort.

Now I understand why.

Since we'd had an early flight, we started our luxury food court experience with some gourmet bagels.

Promenade is home to El Bagel , a popular Miami-based spot specializing in hand-rolled bagels.

The menu features five different egg sandwiches, including a classic bacon, egg, and cheese, and options with smoked pastrami or a maple sausage patty. They range in price from $10 to $15.

There are also nine different sandwiches, including the Lox Supreme, King Guava — which features a fried egg with guava marmalade — and a BLT with bacon, tomato paste, and pickled mustard seeds. Prices range from $6 to $18, but there's also the $130 "Baller Bagel" — with an ounce of Osetra caviar — if you're feeling really fancy.

First up was the Pastrami Classico on a sesame bagel.

The $18 Pastrami Classico is made with 18-hour smoked pastrami, swiss cheese, coleslaw, and Thousand Island dressing.

I've been on the hunt for a phenomenal pastrami bagel ever since I tried the Reubenstein sandwich at Yeastie Boys (if you live in LA, do yourself a favor and get this immediately). El Bagel's Pastrami Classico comes close to the Reubenstein's greatness with its deliciously tender and smoky pastrami, which was nicely balanced by the fluffy sesame bagel, bright coleslaw, and tangy Thousand Island dressing.

This tasted like a luxury bagel — no caviar required.

Next up was the Las Tardes, which we ordered on an everything bagel.

The $14 Las Tardes bagel features thin-sliced turkey, plain cream cheese, tomato jam, and sprouts.

The everything bagel was perfectly seasoned, with a fantastic salty crunch that paired well with the delicious turkey and tomato jam. But there was a bit too much cream cheese, which made for some cloying bites combined with the turkey. I think the sandwich would've worked better with scallion cream cheese instead, which could add some more depth to the overall flavor.

But I was impressed by El Bagel overall. It delivers a fun and elevated twist on the breakfast classic, and I plan to visit again next time I'm in Miami or Vegas.

For lunch, we decided to try Miami Slice.

Promenade at the Fontainebleau is the second location for Miami Slice , which serves artisan NY-style slices in downtown Miami.

The menu features five flavors — Margherita De La Casa, Pepperoni Proper, La Salsera, Leeks on Bacon, and Mushroom Truffle — ranging in price from $8 to $10 a slice. There are also extras on offer, including hot honey, stracciatella, and a three-cheese dip.

It ended up being one of the best places we ate at during our trip.

Our dinners in Sin City included gourmet steak, Peking duck, and golden chicken, but the place we still talk about most was Miami Slice. And that's not to say all of the above wasn't extremely delicious — we just couldn't get enough of this pizza. Nothing fills the heart faster than a sublime slice.

The $9 Pepperoni Proper — which features red sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and hot honey — had a crispy, flaky crust that was light as air and tasted incredible. It also had the perfect ratio of sauce to cheese, ensuring the mozzarella didn't overpower the luscious red sauce.

It's hard to beat the power-couple combo of sweet and spicy hot honey with salty pepperoni, but the $9 La Salsera slice was even better. The slice — which features a trio of red sauce, vodka sauce, and pesto — blew me away with its dance of flavors.

"The vodka with pesto is a dream," I wrote in my notes after a few bites. "Everything is perfect about it."

My boyfriend and I agreed it was one of the best slices of pizza we've had — period.

When we needed a quick dinner, we stopped by Bar Ito.

Bar Ito is a sister concept to ITO , the NYC omakase restaurant by Michelin-starred chefs Kevin Kim and Masa Ito. There's also a second new ITO location in Poodle Room, the Fontainebleau Las Vegas' exclusive members-only club on the top floor of the resort.

While a night at ITO's 12-seat omakase counter costs $400 a person, Bar Ito offers handrolls and sashimi at a much cheaper price tag. Bowls range from $10 to $22, with options including salmon, eggplant, and wagyu. There are also eight different temaki flavors — including lobster, spicy scallop, hamachi, and roast shiitake — with the option to purchase either three handrolls for $33 or five for $50.

We got the three-for-$33 deal, opting for spicy tuna, salmon, and toro. The rolls — which came packaged in a cute box with wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce — were kept simple. The spicy tuna was paired with cucumber, the salmon with avocado, and the toro with scallions. It allowed the high-quality fish in each temaki to shine and was the perfect fresh dinner we were craving after a day at Gronk Beach, Rob Gronkowski's annual Super Bowl pool party . The $8 miso mushroom soup is also a must.

Our last meal at Promenade was sandwiches from Nona.

Nona had caught my eye when we first walked through Promenade, so I made sure to grab us some sandwiches before our trip back to LA.

The menu features seven sandwiches ranging in price from $15 to $18, with flavors including spicy chicken, hot salami, tri-tip dip, turkey, meatball, Italian, and vegetarian.

Our massive sandwiches were packed to the brim with fresh ingredients.

We first tried The Bird, a $16 sandwich with roasted turkey, mayonnaise, brie, bacon, guacamole, pickled red onions, and escarole, all on a toasted roll.

The sandwich was bursting with so much delicious and unexpected flavor. Turkey and brie is a classic pair, but the pickled red onions and guacamole infused them with a creamy and tangy brightness. I loved the crispy bite of the bacon and the excellent crust on the fluffy roll. We ate this sandwich on a very grim bus ride back to LA after deciding to stay an extra night in Vegas for Super Bowl Sunday, and it's truly the only thing that kept us sane.

After getting home at 1 a.m., we dug into The Italian. The $18 sandwich, also on a toasted roll, features Italian ham, Calabrese salami, baby Swiss, roasted peppers, olive relish, Parmigiano Reggiano, arugula, and basil.

I thought it'd be impossible to beat The Bird, yet The Italian does so easily. It stays true to its name with an intoxicating combination of high-quality meats and cheeses, while the mixture of roasted peppers, arugula, and basil peppered each bite with a sweet and herby freshness. If The Bird kept us sane, The Italian brought us back to life.

Who knew a food court could be so powerful?
