Beyoncé and Jay-Z chartered a US$2 million a week luxury Italian superyacht with gym, spa, pool, cinema room and helicopter deck – take a look inside
Social distancing is no biggie for Beyoncé, hubby Jay-Z and their 3 kids, who celebrated her September 4 birthday off the Croatian coast on a 350-foot, high-end Benetti yacht with enough VIP bedrooms for the kids to take 2 each
It’s the biggest and most expensive yacht the couple has ever chartered, Forbes reported, based on information from superyachtfan.com, being more than 350 feet (106 metres) long.
This particular Benetti superyacht, known as Lana, will be available for charter for about US$2 million a week beginning in the spring.
This is far more than the cost of a typical week-long superyacht rental, which can come to about US$150,000, per CNBC. Kismet, the 312-foot superyacht that Beyoncé and Jay-Z travelled on in 2018, costs about US$1.3 million per week.
While there are no official criteria to categorise a yacht as a superyacht, Bill Springer, editor-in-chief of the magazine Ocean Home, wrote for Forbes that “all superyachts are opulent enough to be equipped with an object that represents the epitome of luxury.”
In Lana’s case, that could be a number of things: the gym or spa facilities – including multiple treatment spaces from a steam room to a massage area – for instance. Or maybe the helicopter landing pad. More singular perhaps are the sculptures that decorate the yacht’s interior, referencing the flow of the ocean, according to the company website.
