Billionaire mogul Richard Branson is offering the opportunity to charter his luxury yacht for a price of €60,000 a week.
The Necker Belle has enough room for eight guests in its four staterooms, along with capacity for two more in the main cabin’s lounge area which can be converted to a double cabin. Bunks that can fit up to seven crewmen are provided as well. Each of the staterooms are situated above the waterline and feature stunning views.
Originally built in 2003 under the name Lady Bararetta, this 105 ft carbon-fiber catamaran spent the past two years getting a refit at Australia’s Azzura Marine and their in-house fittings division AM Interiors. It is capable of getting up to 20 knots when under sail, and 18 knots on power alone.
Mimicking the Virgin founder’s Necker Island retreat, the Necker Belle’s interior sports a beach house look. The retreat, which is located in the British Virgin Islands, will also be at the disposal of the guests during the charter.
This luxurious liner is available out of the Caribbean beginning in February, and can be booked through Jameslist.
