Nigerian telecom tycoon Bassim Haidar puts yacht ‘Bash’ on sale for $10 million

Nigerian-Lebanese telecom billionaire Bassim Haidar is listing his 208-foot yacht, “Bash,” for sale, according to a report by Architectural Digest.

The luxury vessel, which was originally named “Jonikal,” then “Sokar,” was first owned by Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed, the former owner of Harrods and the father of Princess Diana’s lover Dodi Al-Fayed. After the couple’s tragic death, Mohamed Al-Fayed tried to sell the yacht on several occasions before it was finally purchased in 2014. It was most recently bought by Haidar in June 2021. He is selling it just over a year later as he reportedly looks to purchase a larger vessel.

“Bash,” as the yacht is presently named, was designed by navel architect Vincenzo Ruggiero in the 1980s and constructed by Codecasa, a superyacht building firm, before it was officially launched in 1990. The luxury vessel can accomodate up to 18 people across nine staterooms and has rooms for 26 crew members. The yacht includes a swim platform, jacuzzi, sun deck, main saloon, a formal dining room, a bar, and office space. Full of dark wood paneling and coffered ceilings, the interiors are reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts style of the early 1900s. 

The yacht’s Wartsila engines give it a top speed of 20 knots and a cruising speed of 15 knots. Although a specific price has not yet been posted, its previous listing price was $10 million.

Haidar, 51, is the founder of Channel VAS Group, which is a fintech provider of mobile financial services, airtime credit and airtime advance services, handset loans, and big data analytics.

Written by Rachel Kelly

Superyacht BASH has recently been unveiled after an extensive 18-month refit at Capax, a marine engineering company in Croatia. Originally built in 1990 with design by naval architect Vincenzo Ruggiero she boasts iconic status thanks to one her very famous previous guests.

The historic photograph of Princess Diana sat on the passarelle of a yacht in August 1997, was aboard luxury yacht BASH , known as Jonikal at the time and later Sokar. Portofino in Italy was the fabulous backdrop to this historic moment in time and this summer she will again be cruising the Mediterranean showing off her luxury upgrades.

The refit project included refurbishments across nearly every part of the yacht: new penetrations of a bulkhead and deck, new wheelhouse bulkhead, new wiring and plumbing, upgraded air conditioning and stabiliser systems plus other technical improvements. Internally, a new layout and decor was designed by Slovenian company Bobic Yacht Interiors turning her into a vastly improved yacht with years of service ahead of her.

“Getting to this point took a lot of hard work and required a lot of skill, but it was worth the effort. Our warmest thanks go to all those who contributed to the refit of the motor yacht BASH,” said Teo Petricevic, CEO of Capax Ltd.

Standout interior features include a vast main salon with a dining room, a bar, an onboard salon with massage and gym areas. Her decks feature two al fresco dining areas on both the bridge deck and the sun deck, various lounge seating areas, a jacuzzi, and a swim platform to her stern.

By Katia Damborsky   9 September 2019

Benetti’s 56m/184ft motor yacht BASH has made her screen debut in the ‘World’s Most Luxurious Yachts’ documentary, which aired yesterday in the UK on Channel 5.

Giving viewers an inside look into life on board a superyacht, BASH is the subject of brand new documentary series ‘World’s Most Luxurious Yachts’. 

She was filmed exploring the coastlines of Greece with her owner and his family, showing off her decadent interiors and state-of-the-art-amenities

As well as a glimpse at her various on-board areas, viewers also get a taste for the crew's role on deck. At one point, we see the captain navigate the four-deck motor yacht into a narrow berth in the port of Mykonos .

BASH is a custom-built motor yacht, launched by Benetti in 2012. She is available for private yacht charters across the Mediterranean , in hotspots including the French Riviera and Italy’s Amalfi Coast.

The yacht’s interiors have been created by Benetti’s in-house team. She has been tastefully styled to reflect owner Bassim Haïdar’s taste, which he describes in the episode as ‘A bit of classic, a bit of modern’.

She features leather-embossed ceilings, silk carpets, ornate chandeliers and gold-plated accents throughout.

Accommodation is provided for 12 guests in six cabins, including an owner’s cabin with a beauty salon, study area and separate his and hers ensuites with steam shower.

On a superyacht charter , guests can take full advantage of an enormous toy garage, which includes jet-skis, a Flyboard, inflatable trampoline, floating pool and a waterslide.

The yacht also benefits from an on-deck jacuzzi, movie projector and iPad remotes which control the cabins' temperature and entertainment systems.

BASH is due to appear at the 2019 Monaco Yacht Show in just over two weeks. She joins fellow Benetti build motor yacht METIS , a 63m/207ft superyacht which is making her worldwide debut at the show.

You can catch up on the  'Word's Most Luxurious Yachts' on My5. 

If you’d like to learn more about chartering M/Y BASH for yourself, please reach out to your preferred yacht charter broker .

Alternatively, you can view and compare all yachts at the 2019 Monaco Yacht Show .

See Inside the Superyacht Princess Diana Shared With Dodi Fayed

By Katherine McLaughlin

Since her untimely death in August of 1997, Princess Diana’s last summer spent with Dodi Al-Fayed has been described in various ways: a passionate love affair, a fake publicity stunt, a temporary fling, a rouse to infuriate another suiter, or the beginning of a lifelong commitment. Although the stories change, the setting remains: a summer tour through the Mediterranean aboard a multi-million dollar superyacht. Later this year, nearly 25 years to the day, the 208-foot vessel will launch for sale again. 

The yacht is full of glossy and dark wood paneling. 

Originally named Jonikal , then Sokar , and most recently Bash , the luxury vessel was first owned by Mohamed Al-Fayed, former owner of Harrods and father of Dodi Al-Fayed. During the fateful summer, Al-Fayed hosted Princess Di and her two sons aboard the Jonikal . After the couple’s tragic death, Mohamed Al-Fayed attempted to sell the yacht numerous times before it was finally bought in 2014. It was most recently purchased by Bassim Haidar in June of 2021, who is selling it just over a year later as he reportedly has plans to upgrade to a larger vessel. “She is in the yard being refitted, and will be launched for sale in September,” said John Wood, director at Seawood Yachts. 

Coffered ceilings add a dramatic, yet timeless feel. 

Bash , as the yacht is currently named, was designed by navel architect Vincenzo Ruggiero in the 1980s and built by the superyacht building firm Codecasa before launching in 1990. The vessel can hold up to 18 people across nine staterooms in addition to rooms for 26 crew members. Among many notable features, Bash includes a jacuzzi, swim platform, sun deck, a formal dining room, main saloon, a bar, and office space. Full of dark wood paneling and coffered ceilings, the interiors are reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts style of the early 1900s. 

The vessel includes nine staterooms in addition to plenty of space for the crew. 

Powered by Wärtsilä engines, the yacht has a cruising speed of 15 knots and top speeds of 20 knots. Even though an exact price hasn’t been advertised just yet, the last time the boat was sold, it was listed for $10,000,000.

As with every Palm Beach fleet member, the PB85 is constructed using the yard’s proprietary V-Warp technology. The strong and efficient hull is a sandwich of foam, e-glass, and epoxy resin, while the streamlined superstructure is made from lightweight carbon fiber. The sleek exterior enhances overall performance, increasing range and improving fuel efficiency. In fact, the yard says its cruisers consume 70 percent less fuel than other yachts in their class.

The PB85 is pretty fast, too. ​​Powered by Volvo Penta engines, the yacht has a cruising speed of 23 knots, a top speed of 26 knots, and a range of 200 nautical miles at 21 knots. Twin MAN V-8s result in a top speed of 27.5 knots, a cruising speed of 25 knots, and a range of 650 nautical miles.

“At Palm Beach, we’re constantly improving, innovating, pushing ourselves, and exceeding industry expectations—the PB85 is the result of countless hours of hard work by our entire team,” adds Richards. “I am extremely proud of what we’ve been able to achieve.”

No details regarding delivery, but fingers crossed the PB85 hits the seas soon.
