Admiral’s Planet Nine, a stellar expedition yacht with the interiors of a stunning mansion, is now listed for sale by her owner, a Rothschild heir. At first glance, the 240-footer reveals nothing of her inviting interiors, simply exuding stealth with a robust exterior, giving the impression of a severe vessel meant for business—props to Tim Heywood Design Ltd. for this achievement. Inside, however, the 2100 GT boat transforms like a luxury-loving chameleon—thanks to the exquisite interior design by Fitz Interior.
The beautiful luxury vessel, which once starred in the blockbuster Tenet, boasts an elegant main salon with wraparound windows, walls lined with countless books, and a wonderful al fresco dining area bathed in natural light.
It also features two beach clubs for use in warm and cool climates, a cinema, and nine elegant guest cabins. The most lavish section aboard Planet Nine is undoubtedly the owner’s deck, a private 3,000 sq. ft. apartment with a full suite that includes dressing rooms, a lounge, a study, and a terrace.
To maximize the exploration experience, the designers have equipped the ship with a forward observation lounge offering panoramic 180-degree views through floor-to-ceiling glass. This world-class explorer has ventured to Antarctica and back up the West Coast of South America to the Mediterranean, all in one southern summer season.
It is equipped with a commercial helipad for an 8-tonne helicopter and a hangar. Planet Nine accommodates 22 crew members, including the ship’s captain. She is powered by two Caterpillar Inc engines, which give her a top speed of 16 knots. Planet Nine is now asking $87 million and is listed with Stuart Larsen of Fraser.
