Michael Jordan & Wife Yvette Prieto Go For A Romantic Stroll In Croatia Amid Yacht Vacation — Photos

Michael Jordan and his wife Yvette are currently vacationing on a super yacht that costs $1.2 million a week that includes a master suite, 2 VIP staterooms and various guest cabins.

Michael Jordan , 58, and his wife Yvette Prieto , 42, are on the trip of a lifetime! The couple, who married back in 2013, were spotted on a rare public outing as they explored the historic city of Spit, Croatia on Friday, Aug. 27. Michael stayed low key in a casual teal t-shirt, shorts and black leather sneakers, keeping his eyes hidden behind a pair of sunglasses. The iconic NBA champ added a black Air Jordan baseball cap on his head, a nod to his massively successful shoe line with Nike that launched way back in 1985.

The former Chicago Bull , who is worth over a billion dollars, was also sporting some serious bling with a totally iced out watch on his left wrist as well as a silver chain necklace around his neck. Michael looked like he was in total vacation mode as he held onto a brown cup of coffee. At one point, Yvette sweetly linked arms with her 6’6″ beau, showing off her own stylish ensemble. The American model stayed breezy in a black linen romper and white Nike sneakers, also adding some pricey accessories to her summer-ready look.

She kept her blonde highlighted hair back with a multi-colored Fendi headscarf, along with a $5,000 nude Chanel vanity case bag, and stacked Cartier LOVE bracelets. Yvette also appeared to be holding her iPhone housed in a Louis Vuitton branded case, finishing her look with a fresh pair of white Nike shoes.

The two are currently vacationing on a super yacht called the O’Pari , per the  Daily Mail . The luxe 95m vessel costs a whopping $1.2 million a week to run, and requires a crew of 29 people for up to 12 guests. Built in 2020, the yacht includes a massive master suite, along with two VIP staterooms and multiple guest cabins. Other amenities on board include an outdoor bar, deck pool, essential jacuzzi and gym for those looking to get a sweat session in while cruising the Mediterranean.

SPLIT, 22 August 2021 – American basketball legend Michael Jordan has arrived in Croatia on holiday.  

Jordan, 58, landed at Split Airport on Sunday evening around 6 p.m. before boarding luxury yacht O’Pari on Split’s western waterfront, Dalmacija Danas reported.  

The former Chicago Bulls start caught the attention of a number of locals and tourists as he climbed on board the 95-metre yacht.  

Jordan was met at Split Airport in Resnik by three vans and was accompanied by bodyguards.  

It is not the first time Jordan has been in Croatia, he played here with the American University back in 1982 and it was his first match up against Croatian great Dražen Petrović.  

Jordan played together with Split-native Toni Kukoč at the Chicago Bulls where they won three NBA rings together. Kukoč, however, is reportedly back in Chicago at the moment so he will not get a chance to catch up with his former teammate in his hometown.  

Jordan though will present Kukoč at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee ceremony in Springfield, Massachusetts on September 11th.

Last summer Magic Johnson was blown away by the beauty of thee Croatian coast during his month-long vacation.

One of the greatest sports legends of all timer, the former NBA star Michael Jordan (58) and his wife, the attractive Cuban Yvette Prieto (42) together with their friends arrived in Dubrovnik today on the luxury yacht O'Pari anchored in front of the city walls, right next to the mega yachts Eclipse and Octopus.

Yesterday they were in Hvar, and before that they visited Split, the Krka National Park and Skradin and Šibenik, from where they set off on a cruise along the Croatian coast.

The former Chicago Bulls basketball player, member of the Hall of Fame, owner of six NBA rings, is now the owner of the professional NBA basketball club Charlotte Hornets. Jordan is a successful businessman and is believed to be worth around $1.6 billion.

Jordan is married to Cuban Prieto and has two twin daughters, Victoria and Ysabel. According to American portals, this married couple rarely opens up to the public, they almost never speak publicly about each other or their relationship.

The Jordan group took lunch in Dubrovnik and went to the popular Proto restaurant, where they took a pavement table. And sitting in full view of the thousands of tourists inside the city meant that Dubrovnik had a new attraction today. Before lunch they took a walk along the main street, Stradun, and soaked up the sights inside the historic Old City of Dubrovnik. And according to Proto Michael Jordan enjoyed fish and seafood with a glass of Dubrovnik white wine from the Crvik winery, and he finished lunch with a Cuban cigar.

The O’Para yacht was built in 2020 and the rental week costs one million euros. With 14 rooms of pure luxury the superyacht can accommodate up to 12 people, with 29 staff members. The interior and exterior facilities, with an impressive design, are perfect for enjoying the sun, socializing and entertainment that the Jordanians had on Hvar last night, so the police allegedly had to silence them due to the loud 'partying'.

After his stay in Dubrovnik, it is believed that Michael Jordan and his group will fly home.

Michael Jordan And Wife Live It Up On $1.2 Million Dollar Yacht Vacationing In Croatia

Let's face it, not many pro athletes live the high life (if that's what it's still called) like NBA legend Michael Jordan. "Air" Jordan can still be found doing the things that most folks only dream of on a regular basis. Golfing on the best courses, eating at the best restaurants, hanging at the best hot spots. There's not much that Jordan, whose net worth is estimated at $1.6 billion, doesn't do these days. In his latest fun on the high side, he and his 42-year-old wife Yvette Prieto went on a romantic getaway on superyacht named O'Pari, which costs a whopping $1.2 million a week to rent. MJ and his wife were observed in the city of Split, Croatia on Friday exiting the yacht, flanked by security guards. From the pictures, the two actually looked liked normal tourists. She wore a black, button up, one-piece shorts outfit with a collar. The mom of two (she and Jordan have seven-year-old twins, Jordan has five kids total) also had on a pair of aviator sunglasses. Jordan himself looked fairly normal, that is, if having a gaggle of security guards around you is normal. He was donning a black hat, a grayish blue crew neck shirt, and gray and navy camo shorts, black sneakers, his usual hoop earing and sunglasses. The legend also was carrying around a Styrofoam cup of coffee, smoking a cigar. Interestingly enough, Jordan was also wearing a black face mask wrapped around his wrist.

Michael Jordan Spends Vacation In Croatia In $1.2 Million Per Week Yacht

Michael Jordan very rarely makes public appearances. Since his retirement from basketball in 2003, Jordan has made an effort to live a secluded lifestyle. Anytime Jordan makes a public appearance it becomes noteworthy, with fans consistently trying to catch a glimpse of 'His Airness'. 

Jordan's income thanks to his basketball career and Jordan's shoe brand has allowed him to live a lavish, yet private lifestyle. His decision to live a secluded life has only contributed to his magical aura. 

So Jordan is able to stay away from the media and limelight. Other than appearances at Charlotte Hornets basketball games, Jordan is often away from the spotlight. So when fans are able to find Jordan in an open setting, it immediately becomes a noteworthy event.

And that's exactly what happened when fans caught Michael Jordan trying to vacation in Croatia . Jordan touched down in Split, Croatia, where he boarded a lavish yacht for a vacation. The yacht is reportedly costing him $1.2 million a week to rent, and that is where he is staying during his time in Croatia.

Jordan was seen on the yacht in multiple pictures, a few in which he was sporting a cigar. Jordan has spoken and shown in the past his enthusiasm for cigars, so it is no surprise that he was seen smoking one during the trip.

Jordan will probably visit his former Chicago Bulls teammate Toni Kukoc, who is a native of Croatia. But his vacation in Croatia is yet another example of just how big an empire Jordan has built for himself over the last few years. 

As mentioned before, the yacht costs a little over $1 million a week. But given that Jordan is a billionaire and one of the wealthiest men on the planet, he won't hesitate to spend that kind of money as long as he gets to maintain his lavish lifestyle. 

The amount of fanfare near the yacht as Jordan was arriving just shows how much of an icon MJ still is in the world. He hasn't played professional basketball in almost 20 years, but fans are still gathering en mass to try and catch a glimpse of him.

Michael Jordan Enjoys His Dalmatian Vacation

Total Croatia News

Updated on: May 11, 2023

Of course, his arrival created a lot of media frenzy, and everyone ( including us! ) wrote about him arriving in Split and boarding an amazing yacht O’Pari. Today, the media was following the vessel’s position on vesselfinder.com , so they knew that the yacht and the people aboard it were going to the Šibenik region. That’s not a particularly odd choice, as that is the way to get to Krka National Park , and numerous Croatian media confirm today that this is exactly what some of the people in Michael’s party did today. While His Airness was enjoying himself on a jet-ski on the Prokljan Lake , as reported by Index and others, Michael’s wife Yvette Prieto and friends went on a tour of the Krka National Park.

Šibenik.in website has a video of Michel on the jet-ski:

The photo agencies have also distributed the photos of his wife and friends in Skradin, while visiting the Krka NP.

Currently, the O’Pari yacht is docked in the Šibenik port, and I will admit to becoming a bit misty-eyed when I realized that the greatest basketball player of all time will be spending some time in the greatest Croatian basketball player’s hometown. Dražen Petrović was born in Šibenik, and there’s a memorial to him there, but it’s probably not realistic to expect Jordan to pay his respects.

Michael Jordan is not expected to meet any of his colleagues and friends, other Croatian basketball players. Slobodna Dalmacija reports that Dino Rađa didn’t even know Michael was coming to his hometown of Split, while Toni Kukoč is reportedly in his home in Chicago, and not on the Mediterranean. Kukoč will be inducted into the Basketball hall of fame in early September, and it will be his former teammate, Jordan, who will co-present him at the ceremony.

Michael Jordan's $80 Million Yacht Is a Luxury Boat Fit for the GOAT

Let's face it: The average joe, or even most above average joes for that matter, isn't going out and buying 200-foot super yachts. Only a select few of the most successful people in this world can afford such a luxury. Take the greatest player in NBA History, Michael Jordan , for example.

There's pretty much no denying it: Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Not only was he an NBA legend who won six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls, but the five-time MVP also turned his Jordan brand into a super-successful business, making billions of dollars for Nike and opening the door for other athletes to do the same, like LeBron James. As of today, the billionaire owner of the Charlotte Hornets' net worth puts him on the Forbes list year after year.

Now, Jordan is no stranger to boating. A while back, he bought a massive sport fishing Viking Yacht named Catch 23 . It rocked the Air Jordan 3 sneaker elephant print color scheme, and he commonly used it to compete in fishing tournaments. However, one of his more recent purchase puts his old fishing boat to shame. I mean, it is an $80 million luxury yacht after all.

Below, we'll check out what the North Carolina's native pride and Joy (that's the boat's name, by the way) has to offer.

Michael Jordan's Yacht a.k.a. Joy

Coming in at a massive 230 feet, Joy can be spotted miles and miles away. With eight different full-sized cabins onboard, the yacht can house family, friends, or anyone else worthy of staying in the Master Suite with no problem at all. Inside, you'll also find a full bar with a beautiful dining room area and a 270-degree ocean view. Of course, Jordan has also hired some of the world's finest chefs and bartenders as crew members, to serve himself and the guests while out on the water.

Along with an amazing view, the rear deck is fitted with a jacuzzi and a surrounding lounge area for hanging out or tanning. Jordan isn't the kind of person that likes to just sit around though, so it makes sense that there's also a full gym at his disposal to get the blood pumping. Those five-star meals need to get burned off somehow. Additionally, it wouldn't truly be a yacht owned by basketball player Michael Jordan without a full-sized basketball court. He may not play professionally anymore, but that doesn't mean he can't teach his guests a few lessons on the court from time to time.

When it comes down to it, Jordan is a businessman. Because of that, there's also a room that's mainly dedicated to meetings with important clients. The room is fitted with top of the line audio/visual equipment, and a satellite to give a presentation that is nearly impossible to decline. What better way to pitch your ideas than from this luxurious meeting room?

To put things in perspective, this yacht costs around $840,000 each week in order to man the ship and to keep the vessel in seaworthy condition. Not exactly a small price to pay on top of the $80 million price tag, but for the top-of-the-line amenities, it seems to be worth every penny to Jordan. He truly is living the life, pulling up to the beach club on a Caribbean island, ready to take play some 1-on-1 with anyone willing to take on the GOAT.

Jordan is certainly considered one of the richest people in the States.

Although this is not his only boat, it is the most impressive one with a length of 70 meters and a luxurious interiors.

The interior is decorated with ocean mosaics, and the bathrooms are made of granite. The entire boat is insulated with glass to provide comfortable conditions in both winter and summer.

Thus, Jordan is capable of hosting 12 people with 19 crew members, andthere are spa rooms with a jacuzzi and a sauna.

There is also a swimming pool and a basketball court.

The rent of such a vessel comes to $840K per person , and for anyone + worth more than two billion euros, the consumption of 250 liters is certainly not something that creates difficulties, payment wise.

Michael Jordan’s European Yacht Adventure: Inside the Multimillion-Dollar Boat Did He Set Sail In

Michael Jordan’s new $15 million, 82-foot yacht, called the “Catch-23” was entered into a deep-sea fishing tournament off the North Carolina coast in June. His team didn’t win, but another of Jordan’s yachts is grabbing attention. His family has been cruising around in a mega yacht, most likely his boat named M’BRACE.

Joy seems perfect for family vacation jaunt. The 230-foot yacht cost Jordan a whopping $115 million. According to Majorca Daily Bulletin, the yacht was sold in December 2022, allegedly to the basketball legend. The yacht can accommodate 12 guests and a crew of 24. Its speed is 14 knots. Launched in 2018, M’BRACE is a symbol of luxury and state-of-the-art maritime engineering.

Jordan and his wife, Yvette Prieto, have been photographed at several stops on their trip. According to the Daily Mail, the Jordans were joined by his mother, Deloris, brothers James Jr. and Larry, sister Roslyn, and other loved ones.

During their family vacation, MJ even hired a magician to entertain the group on his luxurious boat.

It’s no secret the former basketball great has a love of yachts — he owns several. So many, that there is some confusion as to what yacht he is using for vacation.

Yachts, Yachts, and More Yachts

Jordan also owns another mega yacht, Joy , that reportedly put him back $80 million.

And there are his fishing yachts — two named Catch 23. The latest is Bayliss yacht Catch-23. According to the Bayliss website, the custom boat was completed in February. The company’s description reads, “Catch 23 is a fully custom, cold-molded sportfishing yacht designed and built in Wanchese, NC. This vessel is powered by MTU 16V2000 2600 HP engines, and her custom painted hull makes her unmistakable on the water.”

According to Boat International, it is a 25-meter Motor Yacht with a top speed of 40.0 knots. She gets her power from two MTU diesel engines. The yacht can hold up to eight guests in four staterooms, with two crew members. It also apparently is in the top 5 percent by speed in the world, the outlet reports. Catch-23 is one of 5,833 motor yachts in the 24-30m size, and her top speed is 13.49 knots above the average.

Jordan’s other, earlier model Catch-23 reportedly cost $8 million.

As the New York Post reported, the couple was seen heading to dinner at the W Hotel, a European vacation like their previous family trips, including last year’s adventures in Italy and France with their twin daughters, Victoria and Ysabel.

Whichever yacht he’s on, Jordan does have an impressive fleet.

In 2020, Jordan’s Catch-23, participated in the Big Rock Fishing Tournament. Catch-23, known for its top speed of 40 knots and a range of over 500 nautical miles, is equipped with cutting-edge technology and luxurious amenities to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all aboard. Jordan traveled to the same spot, to compete in this prestigious nonprofit event, aiming to raise money for local charities.

Then this year, he added a second Catch 23 and also entered it into a fishing competition.

On June 14, in his attempt to compete in the 66th annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in Morehead City, North Carolina, the Catch-23, along with a crew of seven anglers and a captain, aiming for a hefty catch, according to The Mirror.

However, the team managed a total catch of only 400 pounds, falling well short of the tournament’s largest catch, which was a 516-pound fish. The competition had a prize was $7.5 million.

Alas, Jordan, known for his relentless competitive drive even after his NBA retirement as a six-time champion, fell short of expectations at a recent fishing competition.

The prize money would have been a fragment of his fortune, worth and estimated $3.2 billion.

“Joy”, has just about everything you could possibly need, making it the ideal hosting vessel for Mr. Jordan and his entourage. We’ll give you a fast rundown of what’s onboard, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself speechless at some point. We’re still astounded at how much they can fit into these boats; it’s truly incredible.

Skylights in the master suite and bedrooms allow in the infinite blue sky, and the bathrooms include granite countertops and showers. The boat has a 270-degree view of the ocean for miles and is glass insulated, so it can be used all year. There is a spa room with a jacuzzi and sauna on board that is a resort in and of itself. Of course, Michael can keep his talents sharp on the fourth deck, which includes a basketball court.

Michael Jordan’s Yacht: Everything You Want To Know

NBA superstar and arguably the greatest basketball player of all time Michael Jordan retired from the game years ago but still keeps busy doing all kinds of things, including sailing on his yacht . This is no toy, either, as his yacht qualifies as a superyacht and you’ll see why shortly.

Before we get too deep into this it’s worth noting that the yacht we’re covering here may not actually even belong to Michael “Air” Jordan. He chartered it several times and there is a rumor that he purchased it in 2019. But we don’t have 100% confirmation on that so it’s possible this is not Jordan’s yacht at all, just one he really likes. That aside, all of the details about the yacht are still accurate and you’ll see why, even if Jordan didn’t buy this one outright, there’s every reason to understand why he would have, and why he’s chartered it in the past.

What Did Michael Jordan Call His Yacht?

Michael Jordan’s superyacht is called Joy and was launched back in 2016. Of course, that’s just one of his yachts as he actually owns a smaller (but still impressive) sport fishing yacht that he named Catch-23. The name is a clever pun on the familiar saying “Catch-22” and also his jersey number 23 from when he played professional basketball. His fishing yacht cost a cool $8 million so you can imagine what the superyacht Joy must have set him back if he really is the owner. Or you can just read on to find out!

How Much Did Michael Jordan’s Yacht Cost?

Because this yacht is a remarkable, one of a kind vessel, the owner, if it is Jordan, was willing to pay to ensure he got the best of the best. Is it the most expensive yacht in the world? No, not even close. But at $80 million (some sources even say $90 million) it’s definitely no joke. Joy is not a superyacht most people would be able to afford by any means.

How Big is Michael Jordan’s Yacht?

According to most reports, Michael Jordan’s yacht clocks in at a very impressive 230 feet. That’s nowhere near the largest yacht in the world but it’s incredibly large nonetheless and more than twice the size of Shaquille O’Neal’s yacht or Tom Brady’s yacht . 

How Fast is Michal Jordan’s Yacht?

With a pair of 1,850-horsepower engines,  Joy has a cruising speed of 12 knots. At top speed it can reach 16 knots, making it on par with other yachts of this size in terms of speed. At the size it’s clearly not intended for racing or hitting high speeds.

What’s the Interior of Michael Jordan’s Yacht Like?

What’s the one feature you’d absolutely expect to find on the deck of the yacht owned by a basketball legend? Joy has what has been called a full sized basketball court for playing while cruising, so long as the motion of the ocean doesn’t make this too uneven. Guess you’ll have to be careful with those rebounds. To be fair, though, when you look at images and videos it only shows the one hoop so it really looks more like a half court than a full basketball court. Not that there’s a problem with that, it’s certainly more than most yachts have. 

In addition, the space is easily converted if guests are in the mood for different sports and you can play volleyball or badminton. Heck, you can even toss a football around, there’s enough room. If it seems like that might take up too much room, don’t worry. The entire yacht has five decks so there’s plenty of room for the rust of the luxury features someone like Michael Jordan might want included.

As you’d expect on a luxury yacht of this size there’s a large beach club at the aft of the vessel with a dive platform and everything you’d expect in your beach club area. However, when the sun goes down this space is easily converted into a club for parties and it’s decked out for just such an occasion. There are video walls, bean bag chairs and a number of video game consoles for having a good time. It also serves as a movie theatre for when you want to gather a group and watch a film. Obviously there’s a large dining room for meals as well.

Obviously, the designers included a fully equipped gym on his yacht as well but unlike some, this is a partially open air gym. That means you can take in views of the ocean and enjoy the fresh air during a workout. Of course, additional health amenities exist as well. There’s a spa, a masseuse, and more plus a crew of 19 to make sure it all runs smoothly. One of those crew members is the private chef as well who is said to have a Michelin star, and as you’d expect the food will be able to meet the luxury of the rest of the boat.

You can travel across the 5 decks either by the spiral staircase or a luxurious glass elevator. This can take you from the gym to quarters where you’ll find seven cabins to accommodate guests. With the VIP you have eight cabins total.

The master suite offers an impressive 270 degree view of the ocean and has a private terrace if you want to go out for a closer look. The owner’s deck is opulent in design and resembles the penthouse of a luxury hotel. It even has his and hers bathrooms so no one needs to fight over who has access to the rain showers. For more private getaways there’s a private office for business meetings and lounge area for dining that are separated from the rest of the vessel.

You’ll also find four double cabins on board plus one twin cabin and finally a VIP stateroom. In total six time NBA champion has room for 12 guests in addition to the crew. All of the rooms are designed and decorated in a slightly different style so that people who come aboard get a chance to pick a room that appeals to their own personality rather than having a generic room that is the same as everyone else’s.

Elsewhere on board you’ll find a full bar for entertaining as well as a glass-sided deck jacuzzi for relaxing. 

Throughout the yacht’s interior you’ll find ocean mosaics, granite finishes and a lot of other opulent decorative touches that give it the sense of being at a resort. 

When it comes to cutting loose and having a good time, the people who designed Joy didn’t skimp there, either. The boat has a number of water toys including jet skis and guests can wake board, water ski, kayak and go scuba diving or snorkeling as well. Several tenders can take you to and from shore or wherever else you may need to go.

If you want to slow it down but still have fun, there are tons of inflatables that can be taken out and even a giant waterslide. If things get out of hand and someone gets in trouble don’t worry, Joy even has a rescue boat.

Is Michael Jordan’s Yacht Kept at a Caribbean Island?

Much of the reason people believe that Jordan owns Joy is because he was spotted there at the Caribbean island of St. Barts with the yacht back in 2019. Most of the pics you will find online that show Jordan on the yacht are from this time period and this is where speculation that he purchased the yacht came from. 

The Bottom Line

Joy is a luxury superyacht that costs as much as $80 or even $90 million. There’s a rumor that Michael Jordan is the owner of the yacht, and as the first billionaire athlete it’s not hard to believe, but it’s worth noting you can head to a number of yacht charter sites right now and charter this specific yacht for $700,000 per week. Would Michael Jordan let his private yacht be rented out for charters? You can decide that for yourself. Many other sites on the internet are convinced Jordan owns it but we’re not so sure just yet.

Regardless of who owns it, this massive 230 foot vessel has a basketball court on deck that can be converted for other sports or just whatever activities you feel like. There is a huge selection of water toys, space for parties, room for 12 guests, a jacuzzi, a swimming pool, a cinema and a master suite with an incredible 270 degree view of the ocean.

With a top speed of 16 knots and all the features you’d expect from a luxury hotel provided by a staff of 19, whether or not this is owned by Michael Jordan or just enjoyed by the Bulls legend, it’s easy to see why it’s such a highly prized vessel. 

My grandfather first took me fishing when I was too young to actually hold up a rod on my own. As an avid camper, hiker, and nature enthusiast I'm always looking for a new adventure.
