Nero is a modern yacht with a classic look that just had a major refit

Superyacht fans around the world will instantly recognize Nero , the one-of-a-kind 295-footer that defines the term “modern classic.” First launched from Corsair Yachts in 2007, Nero was commissioned as a replica of the famed 300-foot Corsair IV owned by J.P. Morgan, which, when launched in 1930, was the world’s largest yacht.

British entrepreneur Neil Taylor loved the look of Corsair IV , but didn’t want the expense of restoring a vintage yacht—which would’ve been impossible with Corsair , since it had transitioned into a high-end cruise ship in Asia and eventually sank off the coast of Mexico. Instead, Taylor set about building a beautiful replica with a modern hull and interior.

Taylor actually established the Yantai Raffles Shipyard in China and hired 400 workers to build the yacht, which took nearly four years to complete. Two years after her delivery, she took Best Motor Yacht over 246 feet in the ShowBoats International Design Awards. The 1930s lookalike has since undergone two major refits, the latest just completed at San Giorgio del Porto in Genoa, Italy, to become an even more modern version of the original classic.

Nero’s new gym was installed to make the yacht more relevant in today’s superyacht world. 

“ Nero ’s original build was fairly complex, so this refit was a great opportunity to technically upgrade her to the latest regulations,” Capt. Marcel Busse told Robb Report . “I’ve overseen numerous large refits on other boats, but this one takes the cake on many levels.”

The icing on that cake is the sundeck gym filled with Technogym equipment, including a Kinesis, treadmill, cross trainer and cardio bike. The area also has loose weights, yoga and Pilates equipment and, naturally, a certified physical trainer is part of the crew. A large Jacuzzi just steps away on the sundeck makes a perfect post-workout de-stressor.

“It used to be a ‘snug’ salon, but was underused,” says Busse. “Now it’s a fully-fledged gym with mirror-fronted storage lockers, fridge and TV. We’ve got a lot of space on the sun deck, which is monstrous compared to other boats of her size.” An 18.7-foot-long resistance pool is also located on the foredeck. The original gym has become a beauty salon and massage area.

The interior was also updated with lighter-colored woods and decor for a Hampton’s beach-cottage look. 

Nero ’s owners have been careful to preserve its inimitable historical look, including the long bowsprit and yellow funnel in the center. The sleek exterior lines that herald the golden age of yachting haven’t been touched, though her striking black hull and superstructure have received a fresh coat of paint. One key area that has been rehabbed: The air-conditioning system, which could spell the difference between heaven and misery on such a large yacht. “It’s key for a black-hulled boat like Nero ,” says Busse.

Nero underwent a nine-month refit five years ago that included an updated interior by designer Laura Pomponi. “The owners spent a lot of time and money in 2016 upgrading the interior from dark wood to lime-washed wood with light-colored carpets,” says Busse. “We’ve maintained the lime wash and given the interior a Hamptons beach-house vibe.”

Pomponi was brought back for Nero ’s most recent refit, giving the interior turquoise hues with blue and red accents. Handmade carpets run throughout, including the owner’s duplex suite with separate lounge, study and his-and-hers bathrooms. Most soft furnishings, fabrics and sofas have been replaced. In the sky lounge bar, a new maple-and-oak hardwood floor delivers a wow factor in what looks like a classic yacht.

For onboard entertainment, a newly installed and upgraded Icon Connect AV/IT system delivers the latest technology. A collection of water toys, including an inflatable slide, keep everyone happy in the water.

As part of the refit, Nero ’s original custom 31-ft. limousine tender also got a makeover, with new paint and varnish, upholstery and interior lights to update her classic beauty.

Despite the classic look, Busse says the yacht has a modern hull that cruises well at 14 knots, while consuming the same amount of fuel most yachts her size would use at 12 knots. “She has two sets of stabilizers, giving her four in total, so she’s quite stable,” he says.

Nero and her tender are instantly recognizable anywhere in the world. 

Nero is available for charter in the Med through Burgess Yachts, with weekly charters starting at about $590,000.

Welcome to the Golden Age of Superyachting

NERO evokes the spirit of 20th Century yachting glamour and successfully combines this with all the luxuries offered on a modern-day superyacht.  Inspired by J. P. Morgan’s fourth imagining of his Corsair yachts, the last of which was launched in 1930, NERO honours a classic lineage.

Pairing classic style with contemporary sophistication, NERO’s aesthetic is unique in modern superyachting.  There’s no mistaking the source of inspiration for NERO’s majestic lines and handsome profile.  From clipper bow to counter stern, NERO’s proportions are beautifully balanced between her masts with a classic yellow stack top adding the final touch to her signature look. More than just a nod to the golden age of yachting.

Nero Yacht

THE ONBOARD EXPERIENCE

Step aboard NERO to experience the ultimate in quiet luxury.  By balancing her refined early 20th Century interior style with modern day comfort levels, the result is an idyllic setting for guests to enjoy.  NERO can accommodate up to 12 guests in the most exceptional comfort. There are exquisite interior and exterior lounge areas, a choice of formal and casual dining locations, a cinema, fully equipped gym and beauty salon, and an art deco cocktail lounge where a gin rickey can be savoured while contemplating this vessel’s inspiring stature.

LUXURY ON EVERY DECK

Guest and entertainment areas onboard NERO include her expansive sun deck with its Jacuzzi tub and 5.7m resistance pool, multiple alfresco dining and relaxing options as well as the formal dining room, spacious lounges, a cinema room, beauty salon and a state-of-the-art gym.

TENDERS, TOYS & ACTIVITIES

Not exactly what J.P.Morgan would have found on his Corsair yacht, but NERO sits firmly in the 21st Century with her enormous array of water sports equipment. There is something for guests of all ages, from a huge inflatable slide that will send you speeding from the sun deck into the sea, to a fleet of Jet Skis, SeaBobs, kayaks and even a flyboard to entertain even the most adventurous of your group.

NERO is served by three tenders. Her bespoke 9.5m Corsair limousine tender calls to mind the East Coast commuter boats of the 1920s and 1930s. There is also a 7.4m Zeta Elle tender and a 5.2m Nautica RIB.

ACCOMODATION

A spectacular duplex master suite with separate lounge, study, and his-and-hers bathrooms is the highlight of NERO’s accommodation.  The master suite is located on the main deck and enjoys direct access to the observation lounge and pool.

A stylish VIP suite is located on the lower deck, with a spacious bedroom, a private lounge space, a large bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub, his-and-hers sinks, and a separate shower.

The guest suites comprise four further doubles, with two that are convertible between twin and double arrangements.

Superyacht abandoned by a Russian fertilizer billionaire has a new secret owner, who got it for a huge discount

superyacht docked at pier

The Alfa Nero superyacht, which has been abandoned in the Caribbean for more than two years, has a new owner.

The 267-foot (81-meter) vessel, complete with a baby grand piano and a swimming pool that turns into a helipad, sold for $40 million last week, said Ronald Sanders, Antigua and Barbuda’s ambassador to the US. He declined to name the buyer, citing a confidentiality agreement.

The sale marks the latest attempt to end the years-long Alfa Nero saga. A Russian oligarch abandoned the luxury yacht in Antigua in March 2022, after being sanctioned by the US Treasury. Then tech billionaire Eric Schmidt tried buying it at auction, only to  give up  when the sale became a legal quagmire. 

Meanwhile, the vessel sat in Antigua’s Falmouth Harbour being tended to by a skeleton crew and costing over a $100,000 a month to maintain.

At $40 million, the new Alfa Nero owner will end up paying far less than the $67.6 million that Schmidt, a former Google CEO, had offered last year. Sanctioned Russian fertilizer billionaire Andrey Guryev had originally bought the Alfa Nero in 2014 for $120 million, the US Treasury Department said — which Guryev denies. 

His daughter, Yulia Gurieva-Motlokhov, later stepped forward to claim ownership of the yacht, triggering a legal dispute.

“It’s not worth 40 million, it’s worth way more,” said Richard Higgins, a broker with Northrop & Johnson who represented the undisclosed buyer. “They needed to get the boat sold.”

Higgins said the new owner is European and will likely put the Alfa Nero on the charter market.

The Alfa Nero is among more than a dozen superyachts pinned down in ports around the globe after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 brought a series of economic sanctions against Russian oligarchs. Many of the vessels have been stuck in limbo amid costly legal disputes and racking up maintenance costs.

The Phi superyacht has been moored in London since 2022 while other vessels are stuck in Italy and Spain. There’s also the Amadea, a 348-foot ship with a lobster tank and hand-painted clouds on the dining-room ceiling, which was seized from its alleged oligarch owner in Fiji and now sits in California. Last month, a New York court denied the US government’s request to sell the Amadea, Voice of America  reported .

Alfa Nero’s new owner “is not included in the sanctions list of any country or institution,” Ambassador Sanders said.

The latest attempt to sell the Alfa Nero was brokered through a private contract, the port manager, Darwin Telemaque, said in a phone call. He also declined to name the buyer. Telemaque expects the proceeds will cover the millions of dollars in port fees the Alfa Nero has racked up.

“I am very happy that the ship is no longer the responsibility of the people and the government of Antigua and Barbuda,” he said.

NERO is an all-modern superyacht with classically-inspired lines. She was designed in the ’spirit of Corsair’ - a yacht launched in the 1930s and belonging to famed American financier, J.P. Morgan. NERO embodies all the glamour of yachting’s golden age and is widely regarded as an icon of the superyacht world thanks to her style, sophistication, and superlative onboard amenities.

NERO, the queen of any anchorage anywhere in the world, has an all-new state-of-the-art gym on the sun deck with top-of-the-range Technogym kit including a Kinesis, treadmill, cross trainer and a cardio bike. You will also find loose weights and everything needed for yoga and pilates including a qualified physical trainer as part of the crew.

Another new feature is the beauty salon on the upper deck, complete with a professional Nilo chair, which not only enables manicures, pedicures and hair treatments, but also converts into a massage table. After your treatment by the crew's very own beautician and masseuse you can freshen up in the en suite bathroom and shower and emerge energised and ready to take on the world. She also has a second massage room if you need a change of scene.

Outside she looks utterly immaculate following a full repaint and deck refresh. Inside the great Laura Pomponi has introduced new handmade carpets throughout and a new hardwood floor in the sky lounge, new soft furnishings and fabrics, new sofas in the main guest areas and a scattering of new artworks.

Younger guests will also be delighted to know about the upgraded Icon AV/IT system, which enables streaming for all devices and a genuinely theatrical experience in the observation lounge cinema. They will also be delighted to find out about the two new pizza ovens in the completely rebuilt galley.

It's not just NERO that's received all the love, her distinctive 9.5m Corsair custom-built tender has been completely refitted so guests can arrive in impeccable style. Add a new inflatable waterslide and five box-fresh SeaBobs to an already packed toy garage and it's clear that NERO is in absolutely tip-top charter condition.

If you feel like being the centre of attention while working on your fitness, pampering yourself, dining exquisitely, swimming in the pool, practicing your golf swing and having a whale of a time on the water, you need look no further than NERO.

Motor Yacht

Superyacht Nero is an incredible vessel whose sleek lines and classic exterior heralds the golden age of private yachting. Styled to resemble J.Pierpont Morgan’s famous yacht Corsair, Nero was completed in 2008 by Corsair Yachts’ at the Chinese shipyard, Yantai Raffles. With a huge promenade deck, numerous exterior seating and dining areas as well as an arsenal of luxurious amenities and incredible water toys, Nero is the premier charter yacht for those wanting to entertain or just bask in the sumptuous atmosphere of a truly elegant vessel.

Nero has a top speed of 17 knots and an economical cruising speed of twelve knots, Nero is fast, quiet and exceedingly comfortable. The dazzling interior enjoys traditional panelling of Limed Oak and Ash throughout, completing the gorgeous feel of the vintage yachting era. Nero is able to accommodate twelve guests within her lovely walls: an immense Owner’s suite, two immense suites and two twin cabins. The Owner’s suite is effectively a duplex apartment with full beam living quarters on the main deck, where there is a stateroom with his and hers bathrooms and a central shared dressing room. The Owner’s study, large and with windows on three sides, lays aft of this and holds a relaxation area with a writing desk, private dining area and a sixty five inch plasma TV. A large drop down screen in front of the fireplace can be lowered to transform this area into the yachts indoor cinema. From the observation lounge is the Owner’s oval office which has its own entry door from the port side deck for discreet arrivals and departures. Guest accommodations lie amidships on the lower deck with two spacious suites separated by two centrally located twin cabins. The aft suite has a sitting room, stateroom and his and hers bathrooms as well as a central dressing room; this suite can be divided into two separate cabins with their own bathrooms. The forward suite has a sitting room, stateroom, large VIP bathroom with spa bath, walk-in shower and separate WC. Both of the twin cabins can be configured as twin or double cabins. All of the cabins and sitting rooms feature large plasma TV’s and every bathroom contains both a tub and a shower. WiFi is available throughout the ship’s public and private areas.

Nero’s exterior features a quantity of the highest quality Burmese Teak and has been configured so that the main deck is the principle entertaining area for large gathering with the aft deck table being ideally suited for over-sized dinner parties. The spacious main salon, library and dining salon also offer the ability to entertain on a grand scale. The boat deck aft features a fifty inch pop-up TV and drop down movie screen making it a popular area for alfresco entertainment and relaxation. The Snug is a fantastic place to escape from the midday heat or to host a cozy meal. Other onboard facilities include a gym, Jacuzzi, five metre pool on the foredeck with a current machine and an incredible eighteen foot side hatch that acts as a beach platform for swimming, diving and yacht access.

Nero comes equipped with a serious battery of toys and tenders: two Seabobs, five jet skis and an assortment of water toys as well as a nine metre custom cabin cruiser, eight metre custom tender and a five metre RIB tender.

Nero is available for charter in the Mediterranean for the summer season and the Caribbean and the Bahamas during the winter season.

Nero: Inside the MB92 Refit of a 90m Modern Classic

It started with a paint job. The 90.1 metre modern classic motor yacht Nero was in the hands of a new owner and in need of a refresh. She headed into MB92 in Barcelona with a humble brief but wound up becoming one of the largest superyacht refits the yard had ever undertaken.

In fact, this was the biggest refit MB92 had ever done by the number of jobs alone, according to Nero ’s captain, Adrian Roche. The refit required the yard to rewrite its software in order to allocate job numbers — the system only went up to 999, and the project had close to 1,400 items. As a testament to how efficiently this work progressed, Nero was out in eight months while another yacht alongside spent 18 months and didn’t even break 1,000 jobs.

The tenacity to take on the work came down to the passion of Nero ’s new owners, who wanted to do something special to bring the yacht up to European standards. Though they could have gone for the bare minimum and just painted the boat as planned, once the refit began they realised it was important to do something more for her. The results, and the timeframe in which the project was completed, are truly impressive.

Nero was inspired by JP Morgan’s Corsair IV , commissioned and designed by Neil Taylor and launched in 2008. Taylor originally wanted to restore a true classic but when an acceptable donor yacht couldn’t be found he set out to build a replica. The builder, Corsair Yachts , was created uniquely for the purpose, with construction taking place at the Yantai Raffles Shipyard in China and some finishing in Turkey.

Naval architecture was by IMT Marine Consultants . The result was an all-steel, full-displacement black-hulled beauty with a sweeping sheer, pleasantly proportioned off-white superstructure and a bright yellow smokestack.

Nero ’s beauty won industry recognition — she claimed Best Motor Yacht Over 75 Metres at the 2009 ShowBoats Design Awards (now the Boat International Design & Innovation Awards ) — and plenty of charter clients.

Her new owners had experience with motor yachts but on a lesser scale. They took some time, along with their captain, to get to know Nero before diving into a refit. Beyond the paintwork and the five-year survey, just a refresh was initially planned. When it appeared that some steelwork would be necessary within the scope of the painting project, ideas began to flow — ideas geared towards improving the yacht’s liveability, functionality and charter potential.

While the subcontractors that the captain had lined up at MB92 had a handle on the structural and mechanical work, Laura Pomponi of Luxury Projects was brought in to advise on potential updates for Nero ’s interior. What followed was an eight-month sprint to be ready for the yacht’s debut at the Antigua Charter Show of 2016 and a winter season in the Caribbean.

With the owners, crew and project team embracing the idea of “whatever was best for the boat” as the main driver in the decision-making matrix, Nero ’s refit has improved on the original design and quality of the vessel.

The owner’s brief for the 2016 refit was “contemporary, classic, elegance”. Nero already had two of those attributes. All that was missing was the “contemporary”. Combining the traditional, elegant looks of this stately yacht with a new contemporary interior motif was a task that fell to Pomponi.

“Balancing classic lines with modern art, accessories and lighting was the most challenging aspect of this project,” she says. Previously, every fitting and fixture was gold or brass, the wood was a dark high gloss and the colour accent a royal purple. “Now it’s all in the tones of the sea: green, blue — ocean colours.”

Most of the furniture and joinery was retained but modernised with a multi-step varnish removal and lime-washing process. One change would start a domino effect. With the choice to lime wash the interior, the lighting had to change as well, with LEDs creating a warming feel. “The selected LED colour temperature helps because it takes out all of the yellow effect of the old wood,” says Pomponi.

The brass fittings were all painstakingly turned to silver. This meant stripping 4,000 pieces of hardware, from light fixtures to hinges, bolts and key locks. Some were dipped to resemble chrome, and those that couldn’t be treated were replaced.

Nero ’s brass portholes proved a particular challenge as they couldn’t be removed and were difficult to paint. Six products were tried before the right result was achieved. The final look gives a patina of age, which is arguably nicer than shiny and new.

The time constraints meant a race to the finish for the interiors. Pomponi was very strategic, showing the owner only fabric options that she knew could be available by June of that year, when the upholstery job was beginning. Luckily, Nero ’s owner was decisive and efficient under the threat of a looming deadline.

“In one meeting, we selected almost 90 per cent of the décor,” says Pomponi, “and in two weeks we provided 1.9 kilometres of fabrics.” That’s just counting the upholstery and curtains, not even considering the pillows. The total amount of fabric on board Nero is 2.48 kilometres.

Fashionable accessories in a variety of textures and a silver palette bring that contemporary feel. There are 70 kinds of lamps on board; all of the shades are designed by Luxury Projects and custom made. Modern art is highlighted by antique frames. A stunning set of sculptures made to look like old books was Pomponi’s gift to the owners.

In some ways, the refit to make Nero more contemporary actually made her more authentic — and certainly more usable, which fits the next part of the brief: to make her more functional as a charter yacht . The main-deck library, for instance, had faux bookshelves flanking the fireplace.

They were stripped back to reveal that there were real shelves in place all along. They now contain a beautiful set of colourfully decorated classics. This formerly dark space is now light and welcoming, inviting guests to wander in for a daytime read or an evening nightcap.

Nero ’s refit also revitalised the unused identical bars on the main and upper aft decks, which were in bad condition. The marble was 10 years old and had started to break down, the icemakers and refrigerators were freestanding rather than built-in, and the cabinetry was poorly designed.

Captain Roche says: “We put in functional cabinetry, brought in new chairs and upped the standard of the appliances.” The teak bar stools and outdoor dining chairs are Pomponi’s design. The chairs are as functional as they are good looking, designed to fold like pages in a book when being stored away.

Feedback from previous charter clients was considered in order to improve Nero . She was already popular on the charter scene, particularly among Americans who like the retro look. Some of her clients are older, and the captain sought to make changes that could improve their comfort.

A few guests did trip in places such as the steps leading into the dining room and those near the bed in the master suite . The small steps to the dining room were removed and the floor was given a gradual incline to make the transition from the saloon easier.

Nero’s refit also addressed charterers’ requests for more outdoor seating — the aft deck table has been enlarged — and more shade on the superyacht sundeck . But it also did away with some of the six dining areas. With a formal dining room on the main deck and multiple outdoor options, having a small dining table in the upper saloon seemed unnecessary.

The room was redesigned with a glamorous superyacht bar as the focal point. The owners had one request: make sure that it looks as if it has always been there. The bar’s lush green marble inspired a green theme throughout this deck. Pomponi also designed the bar stools on the upper deck and had them made by Fendi.

“It’s worked nicely for charters, because the principal will just tell the guests to meet at the bar before dinner,” says Captain Roche. “It adds an element of elegance.” The bar was made by the German company F List, which was able to match the wood perfectly to what was already on board Nero — the upper lounge being one of the few areas, along with the cinema, that was already panelled and furnished in a lime-washed oak.

Having a crew member adept at woodworking helped to speed up the refit, as did having two crew members who were upholsterers. They did all the new upholstery visible on _Nero’_s exterior decks. The biggest crew project was when everyone pitched in to refurbish the deckheads, which were originally held in place with hook-and-loop strapping. The new system, called Fast Mounts, is really the superyacht way of doing things.

Sometimes a superyacht refit includes happy surprises, and the work on Nero was no exception. The first of these occurred in the foyer, where the dark, black and yellow floor design needed to be redone. Stripping the wood to see what came up, the team was rewarded by finding a beautiful ash, walnut and oak compass rose.

Another welcome surprise was the presence of extra storage throughout Nero . “There was so much space that was unused, or just things stuffed in there from the original build,” says the captain.

Nero was finished just in time for the Antigua show, cutting it so tight that crew members were finishing sewing cushion covers on the crossing. “The day before the show, we had a fully functional upholstery shop on the boat,” says Captain Roche.

Pomponi flew over to dress the yacht just in time for Nero ’s reintroduction, which attracted rave reviews. “We like to say she went from being a gentleman’s yacht to a lady of the sea,” she says.

Second abandoned calif. mansion owned by philadelphia phillies owner john middleton’s son blanketed in graffiti.

A second California mansion owned and abandoned by the son of a billionaire has been blanketed in graffiti after his other property — where alleged sex trafficker Sean Combs once shot a music video — was tagged with “Diddy was here.”

The neglected houses are both owned by John Powers Middleton, the son of businessman and Philadelphia Phillies owner John S. Middleton, and have been taken over by different squatters over the years, KABC reported .

A second California mansion owned and abandoned by John Powers Middleton is blanketed with graffiti.

The properties, one on Sunset Plaza and one on Mulholland Drive, have become an eyesore in the affluent Hollywood Hills neighborhood — as well as a security concern, neighbors said.

And nothing seems to keep the vandals away.

The second home, on Sunset Plaza, was given a fresh coat of paint last week only to be retagged with new graffiti by Monday, according to KABC.

And the problem has been happening for years.

An armed man was squatting in the Sunset Plaza mansion with his dog before he was arrested in January 2022 and in August 2023, more squatters destroyed the property prompting another visit from police, the local news station reported.

The homeowner is the son of billionaire and Philadelphia Phillies owner John S. Middleton.

The house was once cherished and thoughtfully constructed and taken care of, with the original owner obsessing over every detail — including three swimming pools and a helipad, neighbors said.

“It’s tragic,” Alexander Gorbis, who was friends with the previous owner’s son, told KABC. “I [virtually] grew up in that house. I saw it when it was very small, and there wasn’t too much to it. I grew up with the son of the previous builder – and to see how it is now is just beyond words.”

Middelton’s other property is estimated to be worth $6.53 million and a lien has been issued on it after he defaulted on property taxes. Ten people were removed from the home earlier this month and cops have been called to the property six times in September.

John Powers Middleton poses with his father John S. Middleton after the Phillies won the NLCS in 2022.

The local council member told the station that Middleton “is in egregious violation of the law” based on his poor handling of the properties.

“This is a public safety issue with serious consequences for both neighbors and the surrounding community,” Councilmember Nithya Raman said in a statement. “Irresponsible property owners must take accountability for their property or face action from the city.”
