Tis the summer of superyachts, and taking the crown this year is Kylie Jenner, with her quarter-of-a-million-dollar boat, as Rihanna and Jeff Bezos also chose the life of luxury
As we watched through the lens of her drool-worthy Instagram posts, followers of Kylie Jenner couldn’t help but daydream about a ‘Euro summer’ on a yacht in Greece—until we saw the hefty price tag.
Floating somewhere along the Aegean Sea, the billionaire holidayed aboard what can only be described as a floating palace. But it wasn’t just any mega yacht, it was the iconic maritime masterpiece known as the Lady Britt.
Crafted in 2011, the 207-foot boat was built by the widely known Dutch shipyard Feadship and holds a reputation of her own, thanks to her stunning design and facilities.
Of course, just like Kylie herself, the boat was made for the high life and is rumoured to cost an eye-watering $500,000 for one week alone.
The yacht is home to an impressive seven staterooms that can host up to 12 guests, not including its 16-person onboard crew, but the magic lies in its indulgent facilities.
With an onboard wellness spa, hot tub, gym, and not one but two cinemas, there’s no reason to ever leave the Lady Britt, and yet at that price, even the highest-paid celebs wouldn’t have much choice.
The 27-year-old was joined onboard with her daughter Stormi, aged seven, and other famous friends, as they soaked up everything the Lady Britt had to offer, getting her money’s worth.
Moreover, there are two Laser Pico sailboats available to explore the seas, along with Jet Skis offering a sense of adventure, and two WaveRunners.
If that wasn’t enough to make you dream about days spent on a superyacht, then the scuba diving equipment, wakeboards, and kayaks will be sure to set your wanderlust heart on fire.
Not forgetting, of course, the yacht limousine transporting guests to and from their chosen travel destinations back to their floating resort.
It wasn’t just Kylie who chose to set sail this summer. In fact, there seems to be a trend amongst the elite for holidaying on luxury boats, and who better to set an example than pop star Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky?
To host a party on the French Riviera, a hotel would not do for the world-famous duo, but instead a 143-foot superyacht known as This Is It.
Thought to cost €350,000 a week to rent, the boat was hired for all but a fame-filled party for an A$AP Rocky and Ray-Ban collab, following a Cannes film premiere.
Amongst its star-studded attendees were model Barbara Palvin, Kelly Rutherford, and Dylan Sprouse, along with the Barbados singer and the host himself.
With a price tag that big, it’s no surprise that there are plenty of talking points when it comes to the This Is It yacht. A floating pool, glass tubes filled with real plants, and a bar designed to mimic the skin of an elephant are all the quirky elements that make up this to-die-for rental.
