Some of the glamorous amenities onboard those yachts are unheard of, but having all that money can buy pretty much whatever their heart desires.

A love for the sea is what all those celebrities have in common, plus a need to escape constant snapshots from paparazzis. On their own private yachts, they get to relax and be themselves, also spending some quality time with their friends and family.

9 Stars Who Own Ultraluxurious Yachts

By Rachel Davies

Luxury doesn’t stop once you leave the land, or even at private jets. Behold the celebrity yacht, something the most opulent individuals keep on hand so they can extravagantly take to the seas at a moment’s notice. Some, like Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck or Kylie Jenner , merely charter yachts for a few weeks a year, but others, with a true commitment to the nautical lifestyle, pony up the millions it costs to buy and maintain a massive boat year after year. Below, we detail some of the best and biggest celebrity yachts (and the parties that take place aboard!).

“I want this boat for the rest of my life, or for what remains of it,” Giorgio Armani told British Vogue during their visit to the yacht he meticulously designed himself, known as the Maín . The perfectly polished all black boat, complete with tinted windows throughout, is an impressive antidote to the sea of entirely white yachts at most docks. His previous boat, the Mariù , was equally as stylish, and he welcomed AD aboard in 2003.

Diane von Furstenberg

Eos , the yacht of Diane von Furstenberg and her husband Barry Diller, is said to be one of the largest in the world . The couple clearly takes advantage of all that room—just take the well documented trip to Tahiti they took with Anderson Cooper, Alison Williams, Bradley Cooper, Irina Shayk, and Andy Cohen, among others, as proof.

It’s no surprise that multibillionaire Jeff Bezos has a yacht of his own. The Amazon founder’s $500 million boat is on track to be ready this June, years after he commissioned it in 2018 . Bezos has recently faced backlash for requesting that a bridge in Rotterdam, Netherlands, be dismantled so his massive yacht can pass through the town later this year.

Andrea Bocelli

The lavish lifestyle of opera star Andrea Bocelli wouldn’t be complete without a yacht. The star singer has owned eight different vessels over the last two decades, and in 2018 he replaced his 72-foot Gamma 22 Libertas with an 86-foot-long Darwin 86 called the Stella del Nord .

The Privacy.

According to Golf , Tiger Woods’s yacht Privacy is something of a second home to the athlete, who sleeps on board when he’s away from home at major championship tournaments. Nine other guests could easily sleep on the boat, and enjoy the jacuzzi, wet bar, and decompression chamber.

Just six months after buying a $2 million mini yacht, the Wajer 55s, Tom Brady spent $6 million on the Wajer 77, with a sleeping capacity of nine, more than double the first boat’s capacity. “I think the 77 will be a little more suited for what we need it for down here, which is a few more day trips and weekend trips,” Brady said in a video announcing the Wajer 77. “We spend a lot of time in the Bahamas, so going from the east coast of Florida across into the Bahamas and around the Bahamas would be really great trips for us as a family.”

The Rising Sun.  

By Katie Schultz

By Morgan Goldberg

Billionaire movie and music produce r David Geffen’s $590 million yacht, the Rising Sun , easily trumps Jeff Bezos’s and the parties Geffen’s thrown onboard rival those that Diane von Fursternberg has hosted. The Obamas, Steven Spielberg, JJ Abrams, Oprah , and Julia Roberts are among the many big names who’ve rode on the Rising Sun , which reportedly counts a double-height cinema and basketball court among its list of luxurious amenities.

Tommy Hilfiger

The Wajer 77.

Appropriate for the designer known for his love of red, white, and blue, Tommy Hilfiger’s yacht is named the Flag . Hilfiger has owned the boat which he calls his “most prized possession” for five years now, and over that time, he’s added his Americana-inspired touch to the classy interiors that were designed by Chahan Minassian.

Valentino Garavani

The TM Blue One . 

Fashion maven Valentino Garavani has owned his yacht, TM Blue One, since 1988, and yet it still remains an essential hot spot for his family and celebrity pals. The yacht is named for his parents, Teresa and Mauro, and was designed by Peter Marino, the architect who designed his New York apartment, too. Though the pastime du jour is unknown, it’s said that all guests were encouraged to take up needlepoint while on board back in the 90s.

The phrase “dream boat” takes on a whole new meaning when we step into the glitz and glam world of celebrities and their yachts . Ever imagine hanging out with David Beckham on the deck of his Riva Argo 90, or on a cruise with Tony Parker on board his Turkish yard AvA Yacht, also known as Infinity … Well, in this post, you won’t have to wonder!

Explore yachts for rent near you—Only at Boatsetter

1. Giorgio Armani’s “Main” 

Our voyage through the realm of celebrity-owned yachts begins with Main, an elegant vessel owned by the renowned fashion icon Giorgio Armani. While it might not command the same scale as some of its counterparts, Main measures approximately 65 meters and can accommodate up to 12 guests in addition to 14 crewmembers. The vessel serves as an extension of Armani’s unwavering commitment to aesthetics. Armani designed the interiors himself, taking a meticulous hand with the details to echo the timeless elegance that his brand epitomizes.

2. Jeff Bezos’ “Koru”

As the 3rd richest person in the world, it was only a matter of time before Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, set his sights on an extraordinary nautical venture. Koru is a maritime marvel, with a commanding length of 127 meters, crafted by the renowned shipbuilders at Oceano in the Netherlands.

The superyacht boasts a three-masted schooner design, combining a robust steel hull with a lightweight aluminum superstructure. Koru primarily relies on kinetic energy generated by towering sails, but is equipped with engine power for when the winds calm down. This celebrity owned yacht can accommodate up to 18 guests and a crew of 36 people.

3. Rafael Nadal’s “Great White”

Great White is the yacht owned by tennis maestro Rafael Nadal. Designed by Sunreef Yachts, the vessel reflects Nadal’s pursuit of excellence and his appreciation for respite. At approximately 24 meters, the smaller size of Great White suggests that it’s designed for relaxation and simple exploration , providing a serene escape from the demands of Nadal’s athletic career. Great White can accommodate up to 8 guests across a 4- cabin layout. The interior was designed to feel like home for Nadal, as he aims to merge the comforts of his life on land with his passion for the sea.

4. Roman Abramovich’s “Eclipse” 

At 162.5 meters in length, Roman Abramovich’s Eclipse is the largest, privately-owned superyacht in the world and the 3 rd longest yacht in the world. Abramovich is a Russian Billionaire better known for his ownership of the Chelsea Football Club. However, Eclipse adds to his reputation as a showcase of his penchant for opulence, setting new standards for luxury and security on the water.

This colossal vessel boasts two helipads, a swimming pool with a retractable roof, multiple jacuzzies, and even an onboard missile defense system. Eclipse can accommodate a crew of 66 and up to 36 guests and can reach a top speed of 21.5 knots.

5. The Edge’s “Cyan”

U2’s The Edge–also known as David Howell Evans – owns the superyacht Cyan. While it might not be the grandest in size, at approximately 49 meters, the vessel exudes a sense of understated elegance and merges the wealth and luxury of yachting with The Edge’s rock-and-roll style.

In place of high-tech security systems and dual helipads, Cyan boasts an intimate atmosphere perfect for creating cherished family memories. Perhaps that’s why The Edge has opened Cyan for charters. The vessel can accommodate up to 12 guests and a crew of 11, and is well-known for having one of the best outdoor cinemas found on a superyacht.

6 Best Restaurants on Lake Travis to Get to By Boat

29 most expensive celebrity yachts, ranked by value.

Celebrities consistently create demand in the private yacht market. If a celebrity’s net worth is in the high millions or more, they can certainly afford to indulge in luxury superyachts, which can cost well into seven figures or more and have six- to seven-figure annual operating costs.

The main reason that celebrities like yachting is that they can enjoy intimate, low-key trips with friends and family, out of reach of paparazzi cameras. Tiger Woods enjoys personal time aboard his yacht so much that he named the ship Privacy and even sleeps on board when he travels to golf tournaments.

Even if celebrities don’t own a yacht, they may charter them, as Rihanna and Beyonce do, for quiet time away from the spotlight. After traveling on a friend’s yacht, or chartering one, a celebrity may decide to take the plunge and buy one themselves. That’s what happened to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling after she chartered actor Johnny Depp’s yacht. The Beckhams decided to get their own vessel after spending summers on the Mediterranean with their good friend Sir Elton John on his yacht Wabi Sabi. Some celebrities, such as Apple founder Steve Jobs, singer Billy Joel or fashion designer Roberto Cavalli, were involved in every step of creating their own customized yacht. 

So, which celebrity yachts are the most expensive and extravagant? We made a list of the top ones — some of which have been sold in recent years, possibly due to their high operating costs, but will always be identified with their iconic celebrity owners. We then ranked the yachts by their current value, adjusted for inflation.

Tell me the VIP you are and I’ll tell you the yacht you own!

Sportsmen, musicians, and songwriters, not to mention wealthy entrepreneurs and prominent personalities. What unites them with each other? Fame, glory, and yes, wealth, you may think. Well, also but not only! One of the hallmarks of a VIP worthy of this name is the way he spends his holidays: aboard a superyacht of course!

Why do all VIPs want to own a yacht?

Obviously, this type of boat is aimed only at a certain type of clientele, that of the super-rich, obviously, but what drives them to buy these luxurious giants of the sea, in addition to their enormous economic possibility? Firstly, a much more earthly aspect counts confidentiality. What better place than your own yacht to seek some privacy away from photographers and paparazzi?

Anchored off the coast of beautiful bays or luxurious marinas, the boat becomes the most discreet place to spend intimate moments in total tranquility or to organize exclusive private parties with tens or hundreds of guests.

Which categories do the VIP owners of superyachts belong to?

The category that seems to dominate in terms of the number of owners is certainly that of sportsmen. Footballers, football players, and fighters are among the most classic vessel owners but also tennis players and NBA stars.

Movie stars and singers are no less, while there are few but very well-known successful entrepreneurs who love to sail with their giants of the sea.

What is the type of superyacht bought by celebrities?

Spacious, ultra-luxury but also extravagant or even vintage and retro.

These are the characteristics that most seem to unite the most sought-after superyachts on the market by VIPs from all over the world.

As it is easy to guess, those who don’t need to spare expenses to make their houseboat as precious and technological as possible can reach extremes such as the famous and superb History Supreme and Eclipse, valued billions of dollars and owned by Arab sheiks and tycoons and Russians.

However, there is no shortage of distinctions. Some of them gladly opt for vintage sailing ships or even unlikely very particular boats.

Our top selection of yachts owned by celebrities

So, are you curious to know which are the best and most extravagant superyachts owned by stars and celebrities? Here is the list of the most deserving:

Viva la Vida

Yacht owned by multiple football champion Tom Brady

The new Viva a Vida has been designed to combine the luxurious design of a superyacht with the technical innovations that make builder Wajer stand out in the industry. An automatic roof and electrically adjustable deck layout are some of the innovative features, as well as a hybrid system designed to protect the hull from contact with other boats or docks.

Made for extended family trips to the Bahamas, Brady ‘s Wajer 77 is all about spaciousness and enjoying the outdoors as much as possible. Unlike other famous superyachts which are more about the extravagant interiors and lavish details.

Inside, the cabins are built with a height of over 7 feet (2.15 to 2.35 meters). Outside, the circular seating, the front sundeck, and the cozy large sofas at the back create the perfect atmosphere for a holiday trip.

There is also a back dining room where the Brady family and their friends can enjoy dinner while taking in the beautiful view. With enough space to accommodate nine people.

Designed to be very quiet, thanks to special seals and thick doors, all cabins, including the 5-meter wide owner’s suite, the Junior suite with double bed, and the guest cabin with two beds, are equipped with private bathrooms. There is no lack of premium amenities, including the kitchen and bar.

Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63

Yacht owned by MMA fighter Conor Mcgregor

To celebrate the history of Lamborghini , the Italian brand and The Italian Sea Group presented the yacht Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63: the boat, built with the contribution of the car manufacturer, is a high-tech product that can be customized in many ways on the aesthetic plan. Powered by two 2000 HP MAN V12 engines, the Tecnomar For Lamborghini 63 can reach 60 knots. The boat makes extensive use of carbon fiber materials, is about 19 meters (63 feet) long, weighs 24 tons, and is distinguished by several exclusive elements, from the design to the hexagonal motifs, passing through the LED daytime running lights shaped of a Y and the special liveries of the Lamborghini Ad Personam program. Inside, the Carbon Skin finishes are proposed for the bridge and the start buttons of the two engines are identical to those of the Lamborghini brand cars.

Yacht owned by former soccer player David Beckham

Strengthened by the legacy of the centuries-old Italian nautical tradition, the Ferretti Group is a world leader in the design, construction, and sale of luxury yachts.

28.31 meters long, Seven has five cabins, thus being able to accommodate up to ten people at the same time plus four crew members. She is powered by two engines capable of unleashing an output of 2,400 horsepower each and can travel at a cruising speed of 22 knots. The maximum speed, on the other hand, is 30 knots. This star yacht was designed by the Zuccon International Project. Apparently, some changes to the boat, born in 2016, were made on the recommendation of Beckham himself, who wanted to personalize and make his jewel of the sea even more exclusive.

Great White

Yacht owned by tennis player Rafael Nadal

The 80 Sunreef Power Great White can accommodate up to 8 guests thanks to its comfortable 4-cabin layout. Her starboard hull houses the owner’s suite, one of the yacht’s guest cabins, and the crew quarters.

The yacht, which was built in 1992 and can accommodate 14 guests in six cabins, had already gone on sale in 2018 on a shipping broker’s website and was priced at around $ 12 million, but remained unsold.

Yacht owned by songwriter Billy Joel

12 Celebrity sailors and boaters past and present

• Katy Stickland

From hardcore racers like pop legend Simon Le Bon to George Clooney's love of motor yachts, here is our pick of the celebrities who adore sailing and boating.

Simon Le Bon

The frontman of Duran Duran’s sailing career hit the headlines in 1985 when his 77-foot maxi yacht, Drum, lost its keel and capsized during the Fastnet Race.

Simon Le Bon and other crew members were trapped inside the boat until they were rescued off the Cornish coast .

Determined to sail again, Le Bon refitted Drum and continued with his plans to compete in the 1985-1986 Whitbread Round the World Race.

Skippered by Skip Novak, Drum came in third overall in elapsed time.

Twenty years later, Le Bon once again competed in the Fastnet on board Drum, determined to conquer the race that has so nearly cost him his life.

However, delayed by light winds, he was forced to abandoned the race to perform with Duran Duran in Japan.

Le Bon owned Drum during the height of his pop career in the 1980s, before selling it to Scottish motoring tycoon, Sir Arnold Clark.

In 1987, the singer, along with his wife, Yasmin, and the rest of Drum’s crew answered a MAYDAY call from a yacht off the coast of Venezuela.

Karen McCracken and her family were sailing to Belize when they got caught in a storm and were blown onto a reef.

More recently, Le Bon joined America’s Cup hopefuls, Land Rover BAR, on board AC45F during the 2015 America’s Cup World Series Portsmouth event.

Timothy Spall

Actor Timothy Spall and his wife, Shane, spent eight years cruising the waterways of Britain after buying their first narrowboat in 1997.

They then decided they wanted to go further afield and found a specialist boat builder to build them a sea-going barge, the Princess Matilda.

Their adventures on board their 16-metre Dutch canal barge have since been watched by thousands during the BBC Four series – Timothy Spall: Somewhere at Sea, Timothy Spall: Back at Sea and Timothy Spall: All at Sea.

The three series follows the Spalls as they journey around the coast of Britain in their £200,000 barge.

The voyage has also been chronicled in two books by Shane – The Voyages of the Princess Matilda and The Princess Matilda Comes Home – The Adventure Of A Lifetime Around Britain On A Barge.

Morgan Freeman

“My earrings are worth just enough to buy me a coffin if I die in a strange place. That was the reason why sailors used to wear them,” said Morgan Freeman.

The Hollywood actor fell in love with sailing when he saw a sailboat gliding on San Francisco Bay in 1961.

Six year later, he sailed for the first time in a 18-foot Lightning-class centreboat boat on a reservoir in Stowe, Vermont.

Since then, sailing has became his “refuge and passion”.

His first boat was a Holland-built Holiday 28, and for 16 years, Freeman sailed out of Eastchester Bay.

He explored the waters and anchorages of Long Island Sound, Block Island, the Elizabeth Islands, Cape Cod, the coast of Maine, and up to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.

He first sailed to the Caribbean in 1979 on a 30-foot (9.14-meter) Alberg-designed sloop with a crew that included his wife, daughter and family cat, Zipper.

It took nine days to reach Bermuda and they stayed for six weeks, hitting a storm with 50-knot winds on their return journey.

In 1989, on board his Shannon 38, Sojourner, Freeman went as far as Sombrero Rock, north of St. Martin, and then two years later began cruising the British Virgin Islands (BVI).

Since then, the Hollywood actor has sailed as far as Trinidad, exploring the Caribbean on his new Shannon 43.

For more than 35 years, Canadian rock legend, Neil Young, owned the two-masted, gaff-rigged schooner, W.N. Ragland.

Originally built of oak in 1913, the 100-foot Baltic trader is a far cry from the yachts usually associated with rock stars.

The ship needed serious renovating when Young purchased it, buying enough mahogany to fill a railroad truck to replank the schooner.

As well as cruising the world with friends and family, Young also reportedly leant out W.N. Ragland for scientific expeditions to Hawaii and Alaska.

He sold the vessel to Walter Wallace of Wallace Yacht Co. in Port Townsend, Washington.

Interestingly, Young’s fellow band member in Crosby, Stills and Nash, David Crosby was also a passionate sailor, owning a John Alden designed schooner, Mayan.

The song, Wooden Ships, is believed to have been written onboard in 1968 when the ship was moored at Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Prunella Scales and Timothy West

Fawlty Towers actress Prunella Scales, and her husband actor Timothy West have been avid boaters since living on a barge during their early acting days to save money.

Now self-confessed “canal nuts”, the couple like nothing more than exploring Britain’s waterways.

Since 2014, their love of canal boating has been passed on to Channel 4 viewers through the programme, Great Canal Journeys.

The series has seen the couple explore not only the canals and rivers of the UK, but also further afield in France, Venice, Sweden and Amsterdam.

West, who has owned a narrowboat since 1979, is also vice-president of The Waterways Trust, the Kennet & Avon Canal Trust and a patron of the Huddersfield Canal Society.

He was also involved in the restoration of The Waverley, the world’s last ocean-going paddle steamer.

Errol Flynn

Dead by the age of 50, the hard drinking actor’s love affair with the sea and sailing began after he spent his early years around the Australian ports of Sydney and Hobart.

His first yacht was the Sirocco, which he sailed up the coast to New Guinea where the boat was wrecked.

After finding fame in Hollywood, Flynn purchased a second yacht, also named Sirocco, in 1938, often disappearing for days sailing.

In 1946, he brought the 118-foot schooner, Zaca, which he owned until he died.

He used the schooner to make a short documentary film, Cruise of the Zaca, which follows Flynn and his father, Professor Theodore Flynn, collecting specimens.

The voyage was done in association with the Scripps Institute of Oceanography of the University of California and took place off the east coast of Mexico and in the West Indies.

When Flynn died, his only real possession was the Zaca.

Griff Rhys-Jones

Comedian and television personality, Griff Rhys-Jones started sailing as a child.

His father had a boat in West Mersea on Mersea Island, which they would sail around the coast of Suffolk and into The Broads.

An enthusiastic sailor, Rhys-Jones brought his 45-foot classic yacht, Undina, reportedly spending £500,000 on its restoration.

The Philip Rhodes yacht went on to star in the BBC series Three Men in Another Boat before being listed for sail in 2013.

Since then, Rhys-Jones has brought a 1948 57-foot Sparkman and Stephens designed yawl, Argyll.

Built by Simms of Massachusetts in 1948, the yacht is used primarily for racing, and was the winner of the Bonifacio Trophy and the Coupe Des Dames in St Tropez in 2014, and come second in the Panerai Transat in March 2015.

Rhys-Jones skippered Argyll in the 2015 Fastnet Race.

He has also written about his sailing exploits.

In the Baltic with Bob records his 2002 journey to Russia on “an elderly yacht” with his friend, Bob and Baines who “knew how to mend the engine”.

He has also published Rivers: One man and his dog paddle into the heart of Britain, which follows Rhys-Jones as he explores some of Britain’s most well known rivers with his dog, Cadbury.

Jeremy Irons

Actor Jeremy Irons was “brought up sailing” after growing up in Bembridge on the Isle of Wight where his father was a founding members of the local sailing club.

After learning to sail on dinghies, Irons has now gone on to bigger and faster vessels, famously competing in the fourth leg of the BT Global Challenge round the world yacht race.

Joining the crew of LG Flatron, he spent seven days sailing across the Tasman Sea from Wellington to Sydney, coming second in their section “by about five seconds”.

The ‘Stealing Beauty’ actor has his own ketch, Willing Lass, and often raves about sailing along the West Cork coast where he lives.

He took part in the 2015 Baltimore Wooden Boat Festival, and the Round Island Race, crewing for Conrad Humphreys on his 40-foot catamaran.

Teen idol, Zac Efron was bitten by the sailing bug after learning to sail for his role in the movie, ‘Charlie St. Cloud’.

In an interview with the Arizona Republic, he stated that he decided to take the title role after reading the script while spending time on a sailboat with his father.

Prior to filming, Efron took an intense course of sailing lessons out of Vancouver, learning how to capsize and sail a dinghy.

He said he would now like to move onto something bigger and try long-distance sailing with his father. His dream destination would be Hawaii.

Sailing was one of JFK’s greatest loves.

The US President learnt to sail as a child  and owned a series of Star class boats as a teenager – Flash and Flash II – with his brother, Joseph.

Flash II was his favourite, sailing it in the waters of Nantucket Sound.

An avid sailor, JFK won the Nantucket Sound Star Class Championship in Flash II, and raced the boat while at Harvard, winning the 1938 McMillan Cup.

He sold the boat in 1941, but still got out on the water with his 26-foot Wianno Senior sloop, Victura, which was a 15th birthday present from his parents.

Victura was arguably the most cherished boat in JFK’s life – it was the boat he taught his wife, Jackie, to sail in, the boat he and Jackie were photographed on for the famous Life magazine shoot which helped create the Kennedy brand.

It is also the boat he took his children sailing in during family holidays at Cape Cod.

He even sketched the Victura during many of his meetings during his presidency.

As president, JFK also enjoyed the 92-foot wooden presidential yacht, which he renamed the Honey Fitz, although he continued to look for a presidential sailing yacht.

He found a 62-foot Sparkman and Stephens yacht, Manitou and had the vesse; refitted with the latest communications equipment so he could stay in touch with his office – it became knowns as the “Floating White House”.

David Suchet

Although his most famous role, Hercule Poirot, suffers from the “mal de mer”,  actor David Suchet certainly doesn’t!

His fascination with narrowboats and canals has now become his passion.

The actor and his wife, Sheila spent six years living on a 53-foot narrowboat, Prima Donna, after spotting it from the window of Suchet’s dressing room at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon.

They moved back onto dry land following the arrival of children, although Britain’s waterways were the focus of many family holidays and it wasn’t long before a second narrowboat was bought.

They now own their third narrowboat – a 70-foot vessel – and Suchet has become something of an advocate for the preservation and restoration of the country’s canals and rivers.

He is is currently vice-president of the Lichfield and Hatherton Canals Trust, a past chairman of the River Thame Alliance and patron of the River Thames Boat Project.

He is also a friend of the Canal and River Trust.

George Clooney

As a resident on Lake Como in Italy, as well as other addresses, ‘Gravity’ actor, George Clooney is no stranger to boating.

He is often photographed on the water with various friends at the wheel of classically designed motor yachts.

According to media reports, he has brought a £10,000 row boat for his estate at Sonning Eye on the River Thames in Oxfordshire.

The Georgian house is situated on its own five-and-a-half acre island.

Below Deck yacht names revealed - and how much it costs to rent the celebrity superyachts

Since 2013, Below Deck has been captivating TV audiences across the globe by offering a voyeuristic peek into life on board multi-million dollar luxury charter yachts . Taking readers behind the scenes, YachtCharterFleet identifies the yachts featured on the show, as well as those which have appeared on the celebrated spin-off series Below Deck: Mediterranean , Below Deck: Sailing , Below Deck: Down Under and the latest iteration, Below Deck: Adventure .

Bravo’s hit reality TV series Below Deck chronicles the lives of crew members who work and reside aboard a luxury yacht during the charter season.

Each season features a different crew configuration, and the episodes show how the crew members interact and deal with personal issues alongside their working lives. The seasons are filmed over six weeks, with every episode featuring a new group of charter guests.

Getting even closer to these Below Deck superstars, we take a look at each of the stand-out features of every yacht that has appeared on the show.

Below Deck (US)

Many crew members are recurring on the show;  the longest-standing is Captain Lee Rosbach, who been on the show since 2013. A fan favourite, he has been at the helm of every yacht on Below Deck and seen a number of different crew formations.

The latest Below Deck season 10 is rumoured to be his final swan song, although his legacy on the show is such that whoever replaces him will have very big shoes to fill.

Among the crew members, Chief Stewardess Kate Chastain was an integral member of the team from season two to season seven. Alongside her, Chef Ben Robinson was a permanent fixture of the crew from season one to season four, before stepping out for season five.

Throughout the course of the show, the yachts have played an important role. 

Hiring a Below Deck yacht will cost from €140,000 per week - and that price doesn't include expenses such as fuel. While some of the yachts were given an alias over the course of filming, their real names can now be revealed below; as well as the exact cost to rent them. 

The largest yacht in the show's history, the 10th and 11th seasons of Below Deck  are set around the Caribbean islands of St Lucia  and Grenada onboard the luxurious 60m (197ft) superyacht ST DAVID . Delivered in 2008 by Italian shipyard Benetti, the yacht has an impressive sleek, supercar-inspired profile that instantly turns heads. 

Onboard highlights include her well-appointed sundeck with sunloungers and sunpads where guests can kick back and relax, a spa pool and her al fresco cinema screen set up for unforgettable movie nights.

One of the yacht's most distinctive features is her sophisticated spiral staircase that leads through all three decks and is lit by a skylight in the spa pool of the sun deck. The yacht is very versatile for a variety of charter party configurations, with room for 12 guests across six elegantly appointed cabins. 

STARSHIP (aka MY SEANNA)

Making an appearance on seasons 9, 8 and 6 of Below Deck , the majestic motor yacht STARSHIP (known on the show as MY SEANNA) is a yacht charter favorite.

The yacht has traveled far and wide for the show cruising to the jaw-droppingly beautiful St Kitts and Nevis in season 9, the sun-kissed Caribbean in season 8 and the  South Pacific  islands of  Tahiti in season 6.

Known for being among one of the most opulent yachts on the charter market due to her ornate interiors and glossy fittings that have been brushed in 22-carat gold, it is safe to say that this yacht is one of the most opulently styled and extensively equipped yachts on the water. Refitted in 2021, the Delta Marine yacht can accommodate 12 guests across 6 cabins and is extremely versatile for a variety of yacht charter party configurations. 

VALOR (aka BG)

Appearing three times on the hit show, the 47m (153ft) charter yacht BG (known on the show as VALOR) featured in seasons 7, 5 and 4 of Below Deck , taking charter guests to a variety of sun-kissed and beautiful locations. The yacht's real name is BG, and she was built in 1990 by the world's most revered shipbuilder Feadship . Since then, she has undergone many interiors refreshes to keep her in tip-top condition. 

The yacht traveled around Thailand in Season 7  where the crew and viewers were treated to a truly memorable South East Asian experience. From the iconic Phi Phi Islands to the beautiful beaches of Ko Yao Yai, there were plenty of fascinating landmarks to see on the way. Season 5 took viewers to the tranquil cruising grounds of  Saint Martin whilst season 4 saw M/Y BG in the glistening waters of the  Virgin Islands .

Accomodating 12 guests across 6 cabins, she is also capable of carrying up to 10 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury yacht charter experience.

EROS (aka STAY SALTY)

Season 3 of Below Deck was announced after a hugely successful second-season finale, which was the highest-rated episode of the series. The new season saw the crew head to the Bahamas onboard  superyacht STAY SALTY  known on the show as EROS. 

She is equipped with an array of luxurious amenities including an eight-person sundeck Jacuzzi, barbecue and yacht-wide sound system. She also boasts timeless interior styling with intricate wood panelling and a neutral colour palette which helps create an inviting atmosphere for those on board.

The yacht was sold in November 2013 - just before filming for season 3 began - for an asking price of $17.9 million.

OHANA (aka STAR DIAMOND)

Premiering in August 2014, season 2 of Below Deck returned with 13 episodes documenting life on board the slightly smaller superyacht STAR DIAMOND in the British Virgin Islands . Among many other features, the yacht is equipped with a large sundeck, outdoor bar and luxury accommodation for 10 guests.

After filming the series, M/Y STAR DIAMOND was sold for an asking price of $10.9 million and is now on the charter market with a charter rate of $160,000/week. Extensively refit in 2022, the work on the superyacht has included a complete interior refresh, the yacht now features light, modern styling - an engine rebuild and a cabin conversion.

HONOR (aka BARENTS )

The first season of Below Deck premiered on 1 July 2013 after being announced in April 2012. Chartering around the Caribbean , the starring superyacht was named HONOR for the show but chartered under the name CUOR DI LEONE which translates to ‘Lion Heart’ in Italian. She now goes by the name BARENTS . 

Built by Italian shipyard Benetti in 1999 and refit in 2021, the famous vessel has undergone a complete makeover, bringing her up to modern standards. She can accommodate up to 12 charter guests and features luxury amenities for guests to enjoy including state-of-the-art TVs and a sundeck Jacuzzi.

Following the show, superyacht BARENTS was sold for around $15 million and her new owner commissioned a major refit. A great deal of money was spent on updating her interior with a classic-modern style of design as well as on brand-new exterior furniture and entertainment systems.

Below Deck: Mediterranean

Following on from the success of Below Deck , the spin-off  Below Deck: Mediterranean premiered in May 2016. While the original series takes place during the winter charter season when the Caribbean is at its peak, Below Deck: Mediterranean is filmed during the summer charter season.

Season one of Below Deck: Mediterranean saw Captain Mark Howard at the helm, but the baton was passed to Captain Sandy Yawn from two onwards. Chief Stewardess Hannah Ferrier was another permanent fixture on the show from season one to five, before leaving the show in season six.

As its name suggests, the show is based in the Mediterranean , the world’s most popular yachting hub from May to October. Despite the change in location, the same format and accompanying on-water antics from the crew and guests alike can be expected. Below, all the names of the superyachts which have appeared on the show, and the cost to rent them.

Season 8 of Below Deck: Mediterranean was aired in September 2023 and brought back yet more antics that included some tense franchise firsts. Set in the Ligurian Riviera, the hit Bravo series returns to Italy for the first time since season 3. The series followed the crew from mid-August until mid-September of 2022 onboard the 180-feet superyacht MUSTIQUE .

Holding up to 12 guests across 6 classically decorated cabins, this yacht is the epitome of elegance with its glossy mahogany paneling and cream upholstery. She is replete with water toys, including kayaks, a seabob, waterskis, and Zapata Flyboards, and has expansive deck areas– offering plenty of scope for both crew and guest antics which make Below Deck: Mediterranean so entertaining.

Season 7 of Below Deck: Mediterranean returned to the screens in July 2022 and brought back more drama and wealthy clientele, creating endless entertainment for viewers at home. Set in Malta , a destination never seen before on the show, the series followed the crew over an eight-week charter season onboard the 49m (160ft) superyacht HOME .

Accommodating up to 12 guests across 6 beautifully decorated staterooms, this yacht is described as a home away from home, the perfect platform for guests to soak up the sunshine, kick back and relax. From her convivial sundeck setup replete with a Jacuzzi and glowing cocktail bar to her panoramic sky lounge and state-of-the-art water toys, this yacht certainly had the wow factor that was required for Below Deck: Mediterranean .

LADY MICHELLE (renamed NEXT CHAPTER)

Season 6 of Below Deck: Mediterranean premiered in June 2021 and saw a new vessel,  motor yacht LADY MICHELLE , since re-named NEXT CHAPTER, take center stage. It also saw the return of Captain Sandy and Bosun Malia, plus a brand new crew. 

A floating paradise that turns heads on the water, this heavenly Benetti vessel comfortably accommodates 12 guests across 6 sumptuous staterooms, with additional capacity for up to 12 crew members. She also boasts an open-air cinema, a split-level owner's suite and an impressive array of water toys.

This season takes the crew to one of the most idyllic cruising grounds in the East Mediterranean : Croatia . Abounding with serene golden beaches, crystalline waters and gorgeous coves to explore, it's one of the most popular yacht charter destinations.

THE WELLINGTON (aka THE WELLESLEY)

Season 5 of Below Deck: Mediterranean premiered in the summer of 2020. The show was shot on board the motor yacht THE WELLESLEY , and the superyacht was given the alias THE WELLINGTON over the course of filming. 

The yacht has an elegant 1920's theme, with a chic club lounge complete with a bespoke humidor. She features plenty of marble accents and ample alfresco deck areas, as well as a jacuzzi with innovative spill pool features.

The yachties set course for Spain for this season, cruising around the azure waters of the Balearic Islands . The homeport was Port Adriano on the island of Mallorca .

Featuring in both Season 4 and Season 2 of Below Deck: Mediterranean ,  superyacht SIROCCO  is a yacht charter sensation. An elegant and sophisticated Heesen -built motor yacht, she features plenty of alfresco sunning areas and an 8-person jacuzzi pool; the perfect spot for the charter guests to unwind after a long day exploring.

Season 4 took the crew to one of the most iconic destinations in the Mediterranean ; the South of France . Between the luxury yachting hub of Monaco to the beautiful beaches in St Tropez , this season promises lashings of glitz and glamour. During Season 2 of Below Deck: Mediterranean , M/Y SIROCCO cruised the picturesque waters of  Croatia .

TALISMAN MAITON

Premiering in 2018, season 3 of  Below Deck: Mediterranean saw familiar and new faces head to the sublime cruising grounds of Italy. This time, the crew treated their discerning guests to a world of luxury on board the 54m/178ft motor yacht TALISMAN MAITON .

Built in 2006 and refit to an exacting standard in 2016, the yacht boasts a range of exciting features that make her particularly appropriate for the waters of the Amalfi Coast . Indeed, her entertainment options range from a stunning selection of water toys to a sundeck Jacuzzi and a refreshingly modern interior.

IONIAN PRINCESS

Premiering on 3 May 2016, the very first season of Below Deck: Mediterranean , a spin-off of the increasingly popular franchise, took to viewers' screens. This time the ‘yachties’ took care of their guests onboard the motor yacht IONIAN PRINCESS  in the Mediterranean  destination of Greece . 

The starring yacht IONIAN PRINCESS was delivered from Christensen in 2005 and was later refit in 2016 and again in 2021. Truly opulent, she bears interiors that are sleekly finished with a range of warmly toned woods and plenty of comfortable furnishings. She also boasts one of the largest sundecks for a yacht of her size.

Below Deck: Mediterranean Season 1 yacht IONIAN PRINCESS is not currently available for private yacht charter vacations.

Below Deck: Sailing Yacht

This is the first time the Below Deck franchise branched away from gleaming motor yachts, with the various weather issues that sailing yachts have to contend with adding even more drama and excitement.

The design of luxury sailing yachts  also creates far more confined crew areas than we are used to seeing on the original Below Deck . In general, sailing yachts tend to feature smaller galleys, compact stew stations and cramped crew quarters which are in closer proximity to the guests’ living areas, putting crew under increased pressure to deliver their signature silver service.

In addition, deck crew are placed in a far more demanding role, with sailing yachts requiring increased accuracy and precision to safely maneuver and plenty of deck duties taking place in the midst of guest areas.

PARSIFAL III

An iconic and suitable yacht for the much-loved series Below Deck: Sailing , the 54m (177ft) sailing yacht PARSIFAL III has blessed our screens for all four series of the hit maritime show.

Season 1 saw the sailing yacht cruising around the beautiful islands of Greece , an  East Mediterranean destination that is peppered with an incredible variety of islands. Season 2 was set around the glistening waters of Croatia and in  Season 3 of Below Deck Sailing , M/Y PARSIFAL III came back to where she traditionally charters in the beautiful Balearic island of Menorca . For the latest Below Deck: Sailing Yacht season she ventured around the glittering coastline of Sardinia .

The yacht can comfortably charter up to 12 guests across 5 luxurious cabins with a layout comprising a master suite, two double cabins and two twin cabins.

Below Deck: Down Under

Venturing to the mesmerizing Whitsunday islands in Australia , the much-beloved maritime show released another spin-off of the hit show in April 2022, Below Deck: Down Under . Recorded on Queensland's shores, viewers can see for themselves the impeccable Australian islands and all their beauty as the superyachts, their crew and charter guests travel to some of the most sought-after destinations in the world.  

NORTHERN SUN

Below Deck: Down Under  returns to our screens for its second outing, this time on board the 51m (167ft) explorer yacht NORTHERN SUN , with the coastal paradise of Cairns in Australia’s northern Queensland providing the glittering backdrop.

Headed up once more by the handsome Captain Jason Chambers, he is joined by returning chief stewardess, Aesha Scott, along with a brand new crew, including Chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph, Bosun Luke Jones and stews Laura Bileskaine and Margot Sisson.

Promising another round of crew antics and high drama, the bulk of the action takes place on board the classic explorer yacht, primed for adventure and boasting a wealth of luxurious amenities and an eye-catching exterior, charter guests will be in for a treat.

KERI LEE III (AKA THALASSA)

The perfect yacht for season 1 of Below Deck: Down Under , the 55m (181ft) yacht KERI LEE is the prime candidate for anyone looking for a taste of the superyacht lifestyle. Described as being like Downton Abbey on a boat, the yacht is home to an expansive beauty salon, massage room, gym, jacuzzi and movie theater, so there is definitely enough to keep all charter guests entertained.

In the first season of Below Deck: Down Under , this yacht traveled to some pretty spectacular destinations from the Great Barrier Reef , including the Whitsunday's , Hook Island, Block Reef and Henning Island, giving charter guests the opportunity to witness the outstanding beauty and clear waters of the Pacific .

Below Deck: Adventure

Airing its inaugral season at the end of 2022, Below Deck: Adventure brings more drama than ever before as the show takes viewers beyond the deck and off the yacht as thrill-seeking charter guests embark on a range of extreme and unforgettable experiences around the Norwegian Fjords. Some of the activities include paragliding, exploring unique caves and taking extreme helicopter rides, Below Deck: Adventure provides endless entertainment as well as giving viewers a glimpse of the astonishingly beautiful landscapes in and around  Norway . 

In  Below Deck: Adventure season 1, Capt. Kerry Titheradge leads the crew with Jessica Condy as Chef and Faye Clarke as Chief Stew.

As seen in season 1 of Below Deck Adventure , the 49m (164ft) motor yacht MERCURY is a high-quality and highly reliable Dutch-built luxury charter yacht. Delivered by Amels in 2001, the yacht is to the highest standard and pedigree and boasts a wealth of convivial spaces, perfect for relaxing, unwinding and socializing onboard. 

Home to an impressive array of amenities, standout highlights include an expansive Jacuzzi, a large swim platform for easy access to the water and a gym. An advanced stabilization system on board reduces the side-to-side roll of the yacht and promises guests exceptional comfort levels at anchor or when underway.

29 Celebrities Having #YachtGirlSummers

Kylie Jenner also set sail this week; she is spending her 22nd birthday cruising the Mediterranean with friends and family on a yacht that costs $1M a week to rent. Rae is right about one thing: yachting is an art form. A culture. A genre of Instagram posts that we can't get enough of. Here, 29 celebs just doing #YachtShit.

I took my wife's last name when we got married. It shouldn't be a taboo for men.

• Before I got married, I had the same first and last name as a celebrity. 
• When I got married, instead of my wife taking my name or hyphenating, I changed my name.
• The change allowed me to carve out my own identity and has been great for me.

There are few things that you can control in early life and your name isn't one of them. Yes, you can change your name to anything imaginable at the age of 18 in the US, except there are always complications: who does it affect? Will this upset my parents or loved ones? What about my career? I addressed this pitfall when marrying my wife a few years back, ultimately deciding to take her last name.

It may be the year 2024, however, it continues to be rare for a man to take a woman's name. In a Pew survey from 2023, almost 80% of women in heterosexual marriages took their spouse's last name, but only 5% of men made that same choice.

Related stories

When I decided to make the change, it wasn't about trying to boast or propel myself as a super feminist (that would be a terrible superhero). It simply made sense for me. Contrary to the reasons many people keep their own name — preserving a family legacy — the reason I changed mine was partially about creating my own legacy, and carving out my own identity . This has done wonders for my mental health.

My first name was common, but it was my last name I wanted to change

Growing up, I recognized from a young age that Matthew is a common first name . It's a nice one, and I never considered changing it, even though it wasn't very original. After all, you probably know a Matthew. I know about six. At one time, I worked in a team that consisted of four Matthews. It irked me, even if it shouldn't. Everyone was lovely, but still, it felt like a small bit of my identity was taken away whenever I was around the other three Matthews.

My last name was a little less common, and a title I grasped onto for dear life when leaving school and venturing into the real world. The problem is, one celebrity had already cemented their status with my full name — both first and last. One Google search, and I was lost to the deepest reaches of the web. Furthermore, in recent years a young cricketer who also has the same name has come onto the scene, pushing me further down the pecking order.

I was happy to take my wife's last name when we married

On the other hand, my partner's name is one of the many reasons I fell in love with them. It's original and flows well together, and I hated the notion of ruining that, should they take my last name . This is why hyphenating when we got married never felt right, either. The idea of the child having to play favorites when they arrived at marriage or continuously add to a hyphenated last name so it ends up looking like a law firm equally put us off.

If and when kids do come into the conversation, it'll be nice as a family to all have one name, at least until our child changes their name when they get married, if they decide to do so. Or they might just experience an identity crisis too, who knows!

Naturally, my parents were a little taken aback by the idea at first but eventually came on board when they understood the circumstances. And I didn't want to eradicate my family history, so instead chose to move my last name to my middle name, a choice that honored my past while still allowed me to open up exciting possibilities about my future.

At the end of the day, it's not a big deal. It's what felt right for us. A name shouldn't define you. It's what you do that does. And yet having that little bit of extra individuality has done more for me than years of therapy could.

Politics latest: Chancellor appears to let slip when election could be

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has nodded to when the election could be held after a former minister warned Tory plotters against ousting Rishi Sunak beforehand. The shadow chancellor, meanwhile, has outlined Labour's rather cautious approach to how the party would manage the economy.

• Ed Conway: Why Labour's struggling to set itself apart on economy
• Live reporting by Tim Baker and (earlier)  Faith Ridler

That's it for our political coverage for the day.

Make sure to join us tomorrow to stay up to date with the latest developments in Westminster and further afield.

Find some of today's top stories below.

We've been reporting today on the chancellor's appearance at a House of Lords committee, where he appeared to suggest the general election will happen in October.

Ministers have been coy on specifics until now, only going as far to say that autumn is likely.

Since Jeremy Hunt's comment earlier, we've been narrowing down the potential dates we could finally go to the polls (see pinned post).

You can watch the moment he seemed to let the likely month slip below:

Labour's Rachel Reeves, the woman who could become Britain's first female chancellor, delivered a major speech tonight about the party's economic policy.

You can get the main points in our 18.41 post .

Ahead of that, she spoke with our economics and data editor Ed Conway about her plans - and Ed didn't come away with a great deal of clarity about how she'd set herself apart from the Tories...

One year ago, Rishi Sunak made five pledges for voters to judge him on.

The prime minister met his pledge to halve inflation by the end of 2023, leaving four pledges outstanding.

However, he is faring less well with his other pledges.

It has been confirmed the UK is now in recession, which means the PM's pledge to grow the economy is not being met.

With the general election approaching, how is Mr Sunak doing on delivering his other promises?

You can see the progress for yourself below.

A new Sky News series,  Faultlines , covers in-depth and immersive reports exploring contemporary social challenges across the UK.

This episode asks "is our housing market in crisis?", with not enough homes and expensive rentals forcing an increasing number of people into homelessness.

In 2021/22, just 7,528 new social homes were delivered - nowhere near enough for the 1.1 million people on the waiting list and the government’s target of building 300,000 new homes a year. 

Seaside town Hastings is on the front line of all that is wrong with the housing system, with evictions, social housing shortages and Airbnb among the issues behind the problem.

On this episode of the Sky News Daily, Tom Cheshire talks to our people and politics correspondent Nick Martin in Hastings, to uncover the scale of the issues, and hear from those at the heart of it.

The Sky News live poll tracker - collated and updated by our Data and Forensics team - aggregates various surveys to indicate how voters feel about different political parties.

Labour is still sitting comfortably on a roughly 21-point lead, averaging at 44.1% in the polls, with the Tories on 23.1%.

In third is Reform UK on 11.3%, followed by the Lib Dems on 9.8%.

The Green Party stands at 5.8%, and the SNP on 2.9%.

See the latest update below - and you can read more about the methodology behind the tracker  here .

Jeremy Hunt's tantalising "if the general election is in October" aside to the House of Lords' economic affairs committee was surely no accident. 

No way was it a slip of the tongue.

The 14 peers who sit on their lordships' equivalent of the Treasury select committee in the Commons include some wise and experienced old timers: an ex-chancellor and two former Treasury mandarins.

Okay, so Norman Lamont's record as John Major's chancellor from 1990 to 1993 was hardly an unmitigated triumph. 

Remember Black Wednesday?

But Terry Burns was a distinguished chief economic adviser and permanent secretary at the Treasury in the Thatcher, Major and early Blair and Brown period.

And Andrew Turnbull, the mandarin's mandarin, was also Treasury permanent secretary under Mr Brown and Sir Tony's cabinet secretary.

So Mr Hunt knew exactly what he was doing.

Apart from the soap opera of Tory plots against the PM, the date of the general election is all MPs are talking about and parliament's constant guessing game at present.

Now, the PM and the chancellor appear to be narrowing it down.

Read more below:

Our  deputy political editor Sam Coates was listening to shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves tonight, as she outlined her plans for the economy if she gets the keys to Number 11 Downing Street.

At the "prominent" lecture Ms Reeves gave in the City ( see 18.41 post ), she made an announcement which will "upset many on the left of the Labour Party".

Sam says it "could even upset some in the Labour front bench".

"She has committed to copying one of the key Tory rules about how much you can borrow and the restraints on borrowing that you will have to follow," he explains.

These fiscal rules are basically restraints on how much you can borrow.

The rule she committed to was to have debt falling as a percentage of GDP by the fifth year of a forecast at a budget.

Sam adds: "This is hugely important because it will significantly constrain the amount of money that Labour can borrow after an election, dramatically narrowing the options for higher spending after an election - which some on the Labour left think is worrying. 

"Some think that it does not leave enough gap between Labour and the Conservatives. 

"Rachel Reeves thinks that you need to emphasise how Labour will look after people's money.

"But given the Labour Party is 20 points ahead, doubling down even further by creating yet more self-imposed limits that make it harder to spend more on health and education post-election...

"Well, that is going to worry some."

By Rob Harris , sports correspondent

The government insists it will not block nations from owning football clubs – despite banning foreign states from controlling newspapers.

Both issues landed at the desk of Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer as plans for a regulator for English football were advanced just as the Abu Dhabi-led takeover of The Daily Telegraph was effectively blocked ( read more ).

Ms Frazer told Sky News: "We won't be bringing in any measures in relation to foreign ownership of football clubs."

While a paper might appear to be a greater means to exert influence politically, football has shown how clubs can become a tool for states.

Sections of Newcastle fans became cheerleaders for the Saudi state as the kingdom’s sovereign wealth fund fended off human rights protests to buy the northeast club in 2021.

And the presence of Abu Dhabi has been felt across Manchester City since they have been transformed into a global force.

Football owners need to be 'fit and proper'

But the government is less concerned with any foreign state control of national footballing institutions despite introducing the mechanism to prevent that – advancing plans for a regulator for English football that will have stronger tests on ownership.

Asked about foreign state ownership, Ms Frazer said: "We are not saying anything about who should own a club – where they live. 

"What we're saying in relation to ownership is that you need to be a fit and proper person. And I think that's the right decision."

We've been speaking to the culture secretary today about the government's plans for a football regulator.

Of course, with all the rumours of a Tory plot to oust him swirling, we couldn't resist asking her about the future of Rishi Sunak.

To borrow a football metaphor, has the PM lost the dressing room?

China and Taiwan launch joint rescue bid after boat capsizes near sensitive islands

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwan dispatched coast guard boats on Thursday to join a rescue mission at China’s request after a fishing vessel capsized near the Taiwan-controlled Kinmen islands , amid heightened tension in the sensitive Taiwan Strait.

China claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, over the island’s strong objections, and has stepped up military activities near it in recent years, with almost daily incursions into air defense identification zones.

Authorities on both sides sent the rescue boats after a Chinese fishing vessel capsized in the early hours, Taiwan’s coast guard said in a statement, adding that two people were missing, though two had been rescued and two bodies retrieved.

Coast guard chief Chou Mei-wu told a parliamentary committee the boats were sent after Chinese authorities sought help, adding that such requests were common, with 119 people rescued in such efforts over the past three years or so.

“The waters are narrow around the Kinmen-Xiamen (area) and co-operation between Taiwan and China is very important,” he said, referring to the neighbors’ cities that face each other across the strait.

Taiwan sent four coast guard vessels and its Chinese counterpart six to participate in the rescue effort, the coast guard said.

Last month, China’s coast guard began regular patrols around the Kinmen islands close to its coast, after two Chinese nationals died while trying to flee Taiwan’s coast guard after their boat entered prohibited waters.

The Chinese fishing boat capsized about 1.07 nautical miles west of Taiwan’s Dongding island, the coast guard said, with armed forces stationed there also engaging in the rescue, but did not elaborate.

In a statement, Taiwan’s Kinmen defense command said it had not received any request from Chinese authorities to search the island, but added that any survivors found would be handed to the coast guard.

Last week, Taiwan’s top China policy-making body urged its giant neighbor not to change the “status quo” around the waters there by sending coast guard boats into restricted areas, saying tension should be “controllable.”

DETAILS ABOUT THIS BOAT

OSPREY is a fine example of a very hard-to-come-by 2016 Hunt Harrier 26 powered with the optional Yamaha 300hp outboard motor with only 215 hours. Lift-kept with custom sun covers, she shows beautifully with her Stars & Stripes blue hull, Oyster White boot stripe and black bottom. In 2018 the Yamaha outboard motor was painted to match the gelcoat and a faux teak transom was applied, nice custom touches done by the Hinckley Company. Properly maintained and serviced (full outboard motor service, with computer check and compression test, March 2022) make OSPREY a true ‘turn key’ offering. This is a great opportunity to acquire a nearly-new Hunt Harrier 26 in time for Spring!

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.
