Meet Victorious, the Largest Yacht in Miami
If you’re in Miami, you may want to take a look at Victorious , at 278 feet and 11 inches long the largest boat in the boat show there. It’s over at the superyacht show on Watson Island, where tickets go for $135, but it takes up so much waterfront you can see it easily from Miami.
If you have to ask, you can’t afford it, but Victorious is for sale for $129 million. (It’s been on the charter market for $950,000 a week.)
Even as one of the world’s largest superyacht, Victorious is a bit over the top. It has a helipad on the foredeck that doubles as a dance floor, three swimming pools, an owner’s suite on the bridge deck with its own Jacuzzi and sun lounges, a gym, wellness center, wine cellar, two wood-burning fireplaces, a beauty salon, several bars, a beach club, and a small armada of tenders that includes a custom 41-foot aluminum cat and a 38-foot Fountain.
The accommodations include room for 24 guests in 12 staterooms, but the best room in the house seems to be the sky lounge up top, an observation lounge with wraparound views, a baby grand piano, a formal dining room and a smaller lounge with a bar.
All this is powered by twin 1,475-hp Cats, delivering a top speed of 17 knots. The yacht has an amazing range of 14,000 nm at 13 knots (fuel capacity: 69,847 gallons).
And Victorious comes with an unusual back story. It started out at Marco Yachts in Chile under the name Gin Tonic II , but the owner ran out of money. Graeme Hunt bought it unfinished and had it towed to New Zealand. Then Vural Ak, a Turkish entrepreneur who owns the racetrack for the Turkish Formula 1 Grand Prix, bought it half completed from Hunt in 2016 and had it towed to Turkey. The Turkish yard Akyacht finally launched it in 2021; it won the prize for Motor Yacht Over 80 Meters at The International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2022.
