Want to holiday like Beyoncé? Take a look at the world’s newest luxury superyacht – yours for US$2 million a week
When celebrities like Conor McGregor, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lopez, Kylie Jenner and the rest of the Kardashian clan need a break, they charter a superyacht – so who will be first to book out Lana, the latest from Benetti, and surely 2021’s hottest way for the super-rich to holiday?
Italian shipbuilders Benetti has unveiled a new superyacht – and it‘s more than 90 metres (300 feet) long.
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”.
This particular superyacht, known as Lana, will be available for charter for about US$2 million a week beginning in the spring.
This is much more than the cost of a typical week-long superyacht rental, which can come to about US$150,000, says CNBC. Kismet, the 312-foot superyacht that Beyoncé and Jay-Z travelled on in 2018, costs about US$1.3 million per week.
It features amenities like a gym, a spa and a helicopter landing pad. Clusters of couches and chairs are spread out on Lana's decks for groups to hang out. The sun deck comes with a heated pool that is about 8.2-metre (nine yards) long. The same deck has a dining room seats about 12 people. Sculptures that decorate the yacht‘s interior mimic the flow of the ocean, according to the company website.
