Now let's get started with this fantastic yacht!
Flying fox is a beautiful 446-ft motor yacht with a luxurious interior and unique exterior
design. This yacht includes every fantasy a billionaire would ever need, and yes, we
will tell you all about it. Lurssen, one of the best luxury shipyards
in the World, built the vessel and delivered it in 2019. Many fake sources on the internet
suggested that Amazon Founder, Jeff Bezos, bought the ship in 2019, but the reality is
that he never did. Lurssen built The Flying Fox in close collaboration with the owner
to create the biggest yacht available exclusively to charter. So, despite the false information,
apparently, the actual owner of the Flying Fox is still a well-kept secret. However,
it is managed by Monaco-headquartered, Imperial Yachts, one of the best Superyacht management
companies in the World. Now, let's check where this beautiful vessel
can take you if you were one of the wealthy people who charter this fantastic vessel.
During summer, it visits the West Mediterranean. The West Mediterranean, as it has always been,
is a beautiful area. It goes From the extravagant and luxurious French Riviera to the relaxed
and leisurely western Italy.
During Winter, it visits the East Mediterranean. The Adriatic Sea, with its abundance of islands
and evocative towns, is ideal for relaxed cruising. The marine mythology of the different
Greek archipelagos is perfect for classicists, while in Turkey, the union of east and west
produces a fascinating cultural dynamic. Do you have any idea how much does it cost
to charter the Flying Fox for a week and take it around these beautiful destinations?
The amazing superyacht costs more than $4 million a week. According to boat international,
at the time of this video, the flying fox is the World's largest yacht available to
charter. With that weekly cost it is no surprise that
the superyacht cost $400 Million to build, and according to reports, it costs $40 Million
a year just in maintenance.
One of the things that makes this ship so unique is its exquisite design and over-the-top
amenities, so let's talk about it. Flying Fox's attractive appearance is well
suited to the charter industry since it was created in close cooperation with its owner
for that specific purpose. With an extensive range of amenities, the boat was built to
seem like a second home, and thus it isn't easy even to imagine wanting to leave.
To create a peaceful and calm atmosphere, the interior of Flying Fox uses a few colors
and materials, such as bamboo, wood, precious stones, and leather. Decorative details like
mosaics and tiles are included throughout the d cor. To add to the relaxing atmosphere
of the ship, greenery and tall ficus trees and planters are beautiful details that can
be seen around the vessel. A total of 11 staterooms on Flying Fox accommodate
25 passengers, who are taken care of by 55 exceptional crew members. The staterooms are
pretty remarkable, including a breathtaking master suite with 180-degree views, separate
dressing rooms, a private beauty area, and a sitting room with its own fireplace. In
addition to the master suite, each of the ten additional guest cabins has its own sea
terrace for a personal view of the ocean. Each cabin features a private bathroom with
a 75-inch screen and media center and displays its own unique design style.
If you think all of these is amazing, wait until the end because it is about to get SUPER
luxurious, and we will reveal who is the celebrity couple that was last seen onboard cruising
the waters of Europe. So, let's continue with the fun stuff.
Social living, wellness, and relaxation are highlighted in many different ways, but they
are most evident at the spa. "From the impressive Jacuzzi set in the middle, through to the
hammam, sauna, cryo sauna, dry and wet massage areas, or the fully equipped 970-sq-ft gym,
the assets offered are above expectations and run by trained professionals, with proven
credentials, or former Olympic athletes." Says Julia Steward, director of Imperial Yachts.
The cryotherapy chamber is notable since it is the first of its kind to be put on a private
yacht, allowing it to plunge to a frigid -166 degrees Fahrenheit, which will definitely
cater to those who are in search of a heightened endorphin boost. The crew of the ship also
includes a private physician. There are several places to meet, rest, and
enjoy the water across every deck, and they are each dedicated to wellbeing. The swimming
platform spans approximately 74 feet and provides a place to relax in the sun while using the
yacht's extensive range of watercraft. The Flying Fox boasts a fleet of nine tenders,
a professional dive center, and other watercraft to choose from, including four Sea-Doo jet
skis, four Seabobs, kayaks, paddleboards, and four Vespa GTS Super 300s for excursions
to nearby islands. Two specialized fold-out terraces are positioned on the port side of
the lower deck, while a fully equipped professional diving center is found on the starboard side.
If you dislike the ocean, you may still take a swim in the ship's 40-foot pool, located
on the main deck. A motorized transverse lift raises and lowers the pool floor for people
to swim or have a massage. Food enthusiasts will delight in the range
of culinary choices on board the superyacht. Stewart states, "Flying Fox has some of the
top chefs, many of whom have worked with Michelin-starred chefs, and the galley capabilities and dining
areas are nothing short of remarkable." A favorite place for many is the bridge's deck,
which includes a bar, open kitchen, and full-size rotisserie, tandoori, pizza oven, and teppanyaki
and churrasco grills.
With all of these and at that price point per week, one can only imagine the type of
guests Flying Fox has received. In September 2021, Beyonc and Jay-Z were seen onboard.
Although the couple typically attends the Met Gala, they opted to forego it in 2021
to spend time in the sun. They cruised the French Riviera on the 136-meter Flying Fox
with their children, sharing photos of their charter on social media. The couple has chartered
other large superyachts like Lurssen's 312 ft Kismet and Bennetti's 351 ft Lana, but
Flying Fox is the largest vessel they have chartered.
All of these make the Flying Fox one of the most expensive and exclusive Superyachts on
the planet, taking the number 6 spot of the World's most expensive superyachts. If you
