Johnny Depp bought a yacht in 2007 that has a pirate-ship theme and can fit 10 guests — take a look

• Johnny Depp bought a yacht for an undisclosed price in 2007.
• The yacht is known for its art deco-style interior and "pirate-ship" design.
• Depp sold the yacht to J.K. Rowling in 2015 for $27 million.

Johnny Depp bought a yacht from Turkish shipyard Proteksan Turquoise yacht in 2007. The yacht is known for its art deco-style interior and "pirate-ship" design.

Depp purchased the Turkish-made yacht for an undisclosed amount and named it "Vajoliroja." At the time, he was dating Vanessa Paradis. The yacht name is a combination of their names, along with their children's, Lily-Rose and Jack.

Depp and Paradis were seen enjoying the yacht on several occasions with their daughter Lily-Rose in 2011. The couple split up in 2012.

When Depp married  Amber Heard in 2015, he renamed the yacht "Amphitrite." Fifteen months after the wedding, Heard filed for divorce.  The pair is now embroiled in a bitter trial that began in April.

The yacht has played a role in Heard's testimony against Depp. Heard claimed Depp slammed her against the wall in one of the yacht's cabins. Heard said Depp was drunk and upset that he had to sell the boat. Depp has denied that he ever abused or assaulted Heard.

Depp sold the yacht to J.K. Rowling in 2015 for $27 million . The yacht has since been sold to a US businessman and is now named "Arriva."

Depp hired California-based interior designer LM Pagano to renovate the yacht in 2008.

A post shared by LM Pagano Design (@lmpaganodesign)

Pagano, who designed the yacht, said she wanted the 47.6-meter (156-foot) yacht to feel like "the Orient Express on the ocean."

"There's so much going on in there, but it all works. I had some of those velvet patterns rewoven for me on original art deco looms!" she told Steinway in an undated interview.

Pagano did not respond to Insider's requests for comment.

The yacht, which can accommodate 10 guests and nine crew members, has a home cinema and salon.

The yacht has four decks, according to Yacht Harbour. Its seven-meter beams give it the silhouette of a pirate ship. It's equipped with a Kaleidescape entertainment system.

A video tour of the yacht shows velvet decor and an antique-style wooden interior. The yacht's interior is made of vintage textiles and silk, according to a 2021 Facebook post by Pagano.

"I was graced to be working with Johnny, who has extraordinary knowledge and serious appreciation of historic decorative arts," she wrote in the post. The boat also has a 1930s-inspired dining hall.  

The yacht has five large staterooms.

Three of the cabins have double beds, while two have twin beds. All of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, according to Charter Index. In a 2019 Facebook post, Pagano wrote  that the bedroom's decor featured items procured from around the world.

The yacht also has a helicopter pad, swimming pool, and Jacuzzi.

Depp chartered the yacht when he wasn't using it in 2013.

Depp reportedly charged charterers $130,000 a week during peak seasons and $110,000 during low seasons.

A Closer Look at Johnny Depp’s Yacht Amphitrite

What makes a yacht special? After all, there are a lot of different things about boats in general and yachts more specifically that make them all special in their own subtle way. That being said, the yacht named Amphritite, built especially for actor Johnny Depp, is special in a number of ways, not the least of which involves being built to his v ery own custom-made specifications .

The History

When you really stop and think about it, you know that this is going to be a very special yacht indeed. Even if you don’t know a great deal about the actor Johnny Depp as a whole, you probably do know that he has a very unique style and that he brings that style to virtually everything he does. It simply wouldn’t be in his character to design something that is run-of-the-mill or mainstream in any manner whatsoever. That fact alone tells you that you are going to be dealing with something that is very special, and not only special, but one of the most unique yachts that has ever been on the water. Before we go any further, it’s worth pointing out that Depp himself no longer owns this yacht. It was part of the property that he liquidated as the result of his fairly recent divorce, selling it the author of the Harry Potter books, JK Rowling. As it turns out, she has also since sold the yacht, but whoever was lucky enough to purchase it undoubtedly has one of the most unique pieces of floating memorabilia that is ever likely to exist. Now that all of that is out of the way, it’s time to get on to the specifics of the boat itself and what really makes it so special.

For starters, it’s not designed like most yachts. If you look at it from the exterior, it’s not as large as you might expect. In fact, there are a number of yachts that are actually much bigger. Aside from that fact, it’s very unique in its appearance alone, even before you set sights on the inside. It’s designed to look like an old steamer ship and it also incorporates some of the finest wood you could ever imagine, adding to its rather unique exterior appearance . If you think it’s something to see from the outside, you should see what this yacht looks like on the inside. Just as you might expect if you’re a Johnny Depp fan, you know that it has a very special look inside. In fact, it looks like something of a cross between a very regal mansion and The Addams Family home. This is not meant as a slight at all, but instead it’s meant to serve as a testament to his ability to create something that is both different and personal, all while still adhering to a certain element of style. The boat is made of only the finest materials and it has no less than five separate decks, something that you’re not likely to find on most other yachts of this size (156 feet, to be exact).

In truth, this is a yacht that has more decks and more rooms than boats that are much bigger, yet it manages to do this without feeling cramped in any manner. In addition to the unique style, you can also find a hand-made and highly polished chessboard, and if you explore the boat long enough, you will also find not just one or two, but five different staterooms. All of them have been designed to be both roomy and luxurious, meant to give guests an element of comfort. The idea from the very beginning was to give anyone who stayed in one of the rooms a chance to feel like they were at home. In no way would you ever feel like you were staying in some cramped boat. Instead, you feel like you are staying in one of the best luxury suites that you could ever imagine, something that is completely beyond anything you could think of, even in your wildest dreams.

Every Detail

As you might have come to expect by now, the equally unique and lovely aspects of this yacht do not end with the main quarters or even the staterooms. Every little detail has been considered here, from the gourmet kitchen to the seemingly never-ending number of full showers present onboard. The truth is, you would never even know that you’re dealing with anything on a boat, even a yacht. The thing about boats in general is that they are absolutely notorious for being rather uncomfortable if you stay on them for any length of time. For the most part, they don’t have full showers and there is never enough hot water. They can also be cramped and in some cases, they are just downright uncomfortable. That is certainly not the case when it comes to this boat. In fact, this just might be one of the most comfortable boats any person could ever be fortunate enough to find themselves on. It looks nothing like a mere boat (even a yacht) on the inside. It looks like a stately castle. If you want to take on the high seas and do it with the ultimate level of luxury, this is the way to go. You also won’t have to worry about running out of how water or having to take a three-minute shower in cramped quarters.

If you can imagine the style that Johnny Depp brings to virtually everything he does and then put it all into a boat, then you might start to get an idea about what this particular yacht is like. It is, in the purest sense of the word, luxury at the highest level. It’s filled with beautiful, hand-carved wood, real leather, and curtains made from the finest textiles in the entire world. It is something that will literally take your breath away. In fact, it’s likely to do this more than once. You’ll surely gasp when you see it from the outside, but you’ll really get swept away when you see the inside. All of that, coupled with the rich history of this yacht, definitely make it worth owning for anyone who has the means to purchase such a treasure.

Yacht Once Owned by Johnny Depp Spotted in Kingston, We Peek Inside

• Share on Facebook
• Share on Twitter

If this yacht could talk, it would probably be able to tell some amazing tales.

On Monday afternoon, a luxury yacht designed to look like a pirate ship docked in Kingston, NY. If the 156-foot vessel looks familiar, it's because the famous boat has been photographed countless times by the paparazzi.

The ship was purchased by Johnny Depp back in 2007 and named  Vajoliroja . At the time, Depp was dating Vanessa Paradis. The name was created by combining both of their names with the names of their children, Lily-Rose and Jack.

After purchasing the yacht, Depp hired famed interior designer LM Pagano to renovate it. According to Insider, Pagano draped the interior of the ship in velvet and other luxurious fabrics in an effort to make it feel like "the Orient Express on the ocean."

After Depp parted ways with Paradis and started dating Amber Heard in 2017 he renamed the vessel Amphitrite . The boat even played a part in their infamous trial. Heard claimed that the actor assaulted her on the yacht by hitting her against a wall. She accused Depp of drinking too much because he was angry he had to sell the boat. Depp denied the accusation, but he did wind up selling the yacht to another huge celebrity in 2015.

The Amphitrite was purchased seven years ago by famed novelist J.K. Rowling for a reported $27 million. The Harry Potter author may have actually scored a great deal on the yacht which includes a Jacuzzi, helicopter pad and a small swimming pool. The interior of the boat hides five luxury cabins. Insider says three of the cabins are furnished with double beds , and the other two children's rooms have twin beds. All of the bedrooms have their own private bathroom.

There was lots of buzz when the ship, now called Arriva , showed up on the Hudson River in 2020 . Locals were heading to the river in hopes of catching a glimpse of Rowling, but that may have been a waste of time. It appears the boat was sold by the author and is now owned by a wealthy businessman.

That hasn't stopped many people from assuming the boat is still owned by the Harry Potter author. On Monday Zac Shaw posted a video of the boat docking in Kingston, referring to it as Rowling's yacht.

It's unclear what the Arriva is doing in the area or who is currently on board.

Where Is Johnny Depp’S Yacht Now?

Johnny Depp purchased a luxury yacht, Arriva, in 2007 for an undisclosed price from Turkish shipyard Proteksan Turquoise. The yacht is known for its art deco-style interior and pirate-ship design. Depp sold the yacht to J.K. Rowling in 2015 for 27 million, and the current owner is unknown but believed to be a businessman. The yacht now sails under the name Arriva, exclusively with the owner.

Depp’s private Bahamas island, Little Halls Pond Cay, has been a subject of controversy due to his high-profile defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife. The yacht, which was part of the property that he liquidated as a result of his recent $20 million lawsuit, is now owned by a US businessman.

The yacht, originally owned by Johnny Depp and Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, is currently anchored in Rondout Creek in Kingston. The yacht was a throwback to the 1970s and was launched in 2001. The yacht was a popular destination for celebrities like Johnny Depp and Will Smith during their trip to Tuscany for Andrea Bocelli’s 30th anniversary.

The Arriva, formerly owned by Johnny Depp and J.K. Rowling, has been a topic of interest since its appearance on the Hudson River in 2020. The yacht has since been sold to a US businessman and is now known as Arriva.

How much is Johnny Depp’s yacht worth?

Depp spent about $30 million for his pirate ship, but Rowling reportedly bought it from him for $24 million.

Actor Johnny Depp had a multi-million dollar superyacht with a wild pirate theme, but that’s only the tip of this floating boat-tel’s menagerie of outrageous features. After playing Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise for so long, it’s easy to see how Depp’s on-screen escapades can carry into his real life. After all, the actor already owns an assortment of stunning luxury vehicles, but he’s not exactly keen on keeping his property strictly on land. Although Depp might not have Sparrow’s Black Pearl, he did own something close, a superyacht that carries 10 people. Originally named “Anatolia,” the 156-foot yacht was the product of renowned Turkish ship builder Proteksan Turquoise.

When Depp first bought it second-hand in 2006, it featured naval architecture (via Autoevolution). However, the swashbuckling star wasn’t satisfied with his yacht’s current condition, so he spent $7 million to renovate it to his liking, transforming it into something Mr. Sparrow would feel more at home in. After reportedly spending $30 million in total, the newly-christened superyacht was finally ready to set sail under a new name: the “Vajoliroja.” No, it’s not derived from pirate slang, rather, it’s a combination of the names of his ex-wife Vanessa Paradis, his own, and their children, Lily Rose and Jack. As if its mishmash of a name isn’t outlandish enough, what’s inside is even more outrageous, befitting the Mad Hatter himself.

Just like his range in acting, Depp’s eclectic taste in finer things were reflected in his superyacht. Its juxtaposition of names apparently foreshadowed the yacht’s varied identity, which, according to its design renovator LM Pagano, is meant to feel like the “Orient Express on the ocean” (via Insider). The superyacht featured Art Deco style interior, 1930s-esque dining hall, and vintage furnishings adorned with 24k gold, all exuding an old yet luxurious pirate ship feel. Unlike a pirate’s rickety old ship, however, the Vajoliroja’s comes with modern touches as well, including a Kaleidescape home theater system, satellite TV, two onboard generators, security system and a plethora of surround sound speakers and flat screen panels throughout the ship (via Curtis Stokes).

Manthey is past president of the Passenger Vessel Association 2005 (PVA), a national trade organization comprised of vessel operators, manufacturers, and related service companies (based in Alexandria, Virginia). He has served on the PVA Safety Committee since 1995, as committee chairman from 1997-1999.

Who owns Steve Jobs yacht now?

Sadly, Jobs never had the chance to see Venus completed before his untimely death in 2011. The yacht remains in the family, now owned by his widow Laurene Powell Jobs. Jobs was widely reported saying the following to his biographer: “I know that it’s possible I will die and leave Laurene with a half-built boat. But I have to keep going on. If I don’t, it’s an admission that I’m about to die.” Venus is entirely private and not available for charter.

3. Her interiors have never been seen –but her wheelhouse shows something unusual.. What do we know about Venus? Her hull form was developed by De Voogt Naval Architects. Her interior volume totals 1,500GT. Key features include a side-loading tender garage, Jacuzzi and superyacht beach club. But when it comes to the elusive superyacht’s interiors, the curtains have been shut for over a decade.

When photographers have gotten up close, they’ve noticed something quite unusual. Photos have revealed that Venus has no ordinary bridge – instead, multiple Mac computer screens line the inside of the bridge windows. All else is rumour, including the accommodation’s supposed sound-proofing. It’s so comprehensive that guests (reportedly) have to rely on a high-tech internal system to communicate.

J.K. Rowling and Johnny Depp Owned the Same Yacht—Who Has It Now?

J.K. Rowling dished out around $27 million in 2015 for the yacht Johnny Depp had sold just a few months prior. Who owns the yacht now?

April 28 2022, Published 4:40 a.m. ET

Hollywood actor Johnny Depp used to have a yacht transport him and his guests back and forth between the Bahamas and his private island , Little Hall’s Pond Cay. The Vajoliroja , which was purchased by Depp for $8 million and allegedly renamed Amphitrite , later sold in 2015 to an American businessman. It was then acquired by the Harry Potter series author J.K. Rowling .

Here’s how much Rowling paid for the yacht previously owned by Depp and some of the features it had while in her possession.

Rowling paid about $27 million for the yacht once owned by Depp

When it comes to money, Rowling clearly has plenty to spend. The billionaire author reportedly dished out around $27 million in 2015 for the yacht Depp had sold just a few months prior. About two years after purchasing the 156-foot-long watercraft, Rowling put it on the market for $19.2 million and allowed it to be chartered for about $130,000 per week, not including additional expenses, reports Variety .

Although the whereabouts of the yacht previously owned by Depp and Rowling is unknown, there is some speculation that it was listed for sale and purchased with the help of Curtis Stokes at Curtis Stokes & Associates. Simply put, Rowling no longer owns the luxury yacht.

A look inside the million-dollar yacht once owned by Depp and Rowling

While we can’t say for sure what the multimillion dollar yacht looks like today, we do know some of the features it had while in Rowling’s possession. The boat, which sits three decks high and accommodates 10 guests, featured the following, according to Variety :

• “A bohemian-luxe main deck salon with rich wood paneling.”
• Windows decorated with “swagged and tasseled drapery.”
• “A state-of-the-art entertainment system.”
• Four guest staterooms.
• On-board Wi-Fi.
• Recreational equipment, including “kayaks, snorkeling gear, windsurfing and wakeboards, and two tenders for water skiing and jaunts ashore.”
• “Teak-trimmed glass doors.”

Joanne Rowling

British author and philanthopist

Net worth: $1 billion

J.K. Rowling rose from being a single mother living on welfare to a billionaire thanks to her fantasy series, Harry Potter. In 2020, Forbes named Rowling the second highest-paid author in the world. She now supports a large number of philanthropic causes.

Birthdate: July 31, 1965

Birthplace: Yate, Gloucestershire, England

Education: Graduated from the University of Exeter in 1987

Spouses: Jorge Arantes (1992–1993), David Murray (2001-present)

Kids: 3 (1 child with Arantes and 2 with Murray)

Residence: London, England, and Edinburgh and Aberfeldy, Scotland

What is J.K. Rowling’s net worth?

Although spending $19 million on a yacht sounds frivolous, it didn’t lighten Rowling’s wallet much. After watching her sales from the Harry Potter series grow, Rowling reportedly began earning about $50 million to $100 million a year, according to Celebrity Net Worth . Today, her net worth is estimated to be $1 billion, though the media outlet says the author denies being a billionaire.

Not only has the Harry Potter series generated significant sales (and profit for Rowling), but it gave rise to other money-making opportunities, including The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando, merchandise, and major motion pictures.

While a great deal of Rowling’s net worth can be attributed to the money she makes off of book royalties , she also made money from “movie advances, movie rights, merchandise, and more,” allowing her to spend freely on yachts and make large charitable donations.
