As a yacht enthusiast, I questioned sports billionaire Shad Khan’s decision to sell his incredible Kismet superyacht to Eric Schmidt. The 312-foot Kismet superyacht was sold to the ex-Google CEO for $158 million (renamed Whisper), while Khan’s superyacht Project Jag was still under construction, leaving him without a splendid ship. Now that Project Jag, aka Kismet yacht’s central agency for charter, Cecil Wright, has revealed images of Khan’s latest boat, it has become clear he bid adieu to a gem to say hello to another.
It should be known the latest 400-footer by Lurssen is yet-to-be-delivered, but with summer approaching and sailing season to begin, this is one beauty that sea-farers with deep pockets won’t be able to resist. The terrific trio of Lurssen with Reymond Langton Design for the interior and exteriors by Nuvolari Lenard have delivered a scrumptious ship that would put most 5-star hotels to shame. Truly worthy of a billionaire worth $12.2 billion, it is indeed a “beautiful, bespoke homage to the owner’s lifestyle.” Let’s take a detailed look at this marvel below:
The central area of a 400-feet superyacht cannot be anything less than magnificent, and Kismet superyacht doesn’t disappoint. Cozy seating, floor-to-ceiling windows, ornate lamps in neutral hues make it an inviting and elegant space.
Candle-lit dinners are passé. Aboard Lurssen’s Kismet, dinners are dazzling with uninterrupted ocean views and a very mesmerizing ambiance. It is tucked away from the activity of the ship, which makes the space even more private.
Charming by day and enchanting by night, Kismet superyacht’s pool deck salon is a breathtaking area that comes alive through a perfectly designed motley of lights, plants, a massive central light, and every color of the rainbow.
This is where one is reminded of the old Kismet Yacht. The staircase boasts the same video walls as the original Kismet.
A room fit for a king? This has got to be the most opulent space aboard Khan’s third massive superyacht. The wide 61 feet beam lends extraordinary volumes to incorporate the owner’s lavish lifestyle. The design language is extraordinary and ornate, making the space look palatial. The skylight adds oodles of warmth to the space flanked by exclusive finishings.
This smaller yet impressive space makes waking up, dressing up, and showing up so much fun. Every nook and corner of the new Kismet motoryacht is steeped in luxury. The clever use of black, gold, and oriental motif in panels makes for a striking element.
The same design language of the dressing area continues into the bathroom. A lavish tub facing incredible vistas in a lavish setting make chores seem charming.
This room doesn’t end does it? It does though it surely does not seem like it. Much like bottomless pits of wealth, the designers have equipped the master stateroom with more amenities than one would find on an entire yacht.
On this 400-feet motoryacht, luxuries are not limited to the owner’s space but are omnipresent. The charter yacht features accommodation for 12 guests in up to nine cabins. The crew quarters accommodate a staff of 40.
The experience of movie-watching is elevated in a teal-and-gold space that’s dipped in opulence with a side of popcorn and a classic.
The wonders of the new Kismet Yacht don’t cease. The ship flaunts exciting spaces to enjoy one’s passions like a serene yoga room and a healthy juice bar.
Serenity on the high seas? It sure looks like the Kismet yacht packs a room full of respite inside this glorious spa. Guests can indulge in amenities such as a hammam, sauna, and cryotherapy chamber.
Inside or out, wherever you choose to be, impressive design elements never leave your side on this boat. The exteriors are flanked by amenities like a swimming pool, outdoor cinema, dance floor, lounge areas, etc.
The Balinese-inspired spa has a hammam, sauna, gym, juice bar and a hair and beauty saloon.
The spectacular Kismet Yacht belonging to billionaire Shad Khan can be chartered for $3.2 million a week.
Being the superyacht of a sports billionaire, the vessel has a basketball and pickleball court.
