Sail The Ocean With The $250 Million Superyacht Of UFC Owner Frank Fertitta III

The superyacht owned by Frank Fertitta III is the meaning of luxury on the water.

Frank Fertitta, who also runs the UFC, got the beautiful yacht “Viva” in June. It has only been a few months since then. The luxury boat “Viva” is 94 meters long and was built by Feadship in Kaag, Netherlands.

The Netherlands just got Viva after it was finished and sent there. Azure Yacht Design & Naval Architecture and De Voogt Naval Architects worked together to make her, and Peter Marino was in charge of her interior. Let’s take a look inside UFC owner Frank Fertitta III’s $250 million ship.

Frank Fertitta III’s current job as CEO of Station Casinos and the fact that he, his brother Lorenzo, and their childhood friend Dana White turned the Ultimate Fighting Championship into a multi-billion dollar business are just two examples of how he got rich.

But it’s not as clear how he spends his money (at least on fun things). One example of a luxury purchase like this is the ultra-luxurious superyacht Viva, which was made by Feadship and costs a jaw-dropping $250 million. The oldest Fertitta brother or sister said that he did this deal for himself.

It should be mentioned that Feadship seems to be the shipbuilder of choice for the Fertitta family. The 285-foot-long (87-meter-long), $160 million Lonian belongs to Lorenzo Fertitta. It was made by Feadship. Tilman Fertitta, who is related to the Fertitta brothers, is the happy owner of a smaller boat made by Westport Yachts in Boardwalk. The longest length of this ship is 163 feet (50 meters), and it costs $27 million, which is a lot less than the previous ship.

The inside was made by Peter Marino, and the outside was made by Azure Yacht Design. There is a gym, a beach club, a theater, a beauty shop, underwater lighting, an elevator, and a helipad at the back of the upper deck. The ship also has a movie theater and a beauty shop. The Viva’s hull is made of steel, and the decks and superstructure are made of teak and metal, respectively. It has two diesel-electric MTU engines that each have 16 cylinders, 3,916 horsepower, and 2,050 revolutions per minute. It can go as fast as 20 knots, but most people use it at a speed of about 12 knots.

It can hold about 71,000 liters of fresh water in its tanks, and about 280,000 liters of gasoline in its fuel tanks. The owner wanted their new mega yacht, which is 94 meters long and made by Feadship like their previous mega yacht, which was 32 meters shorter, to be less harmful to the environment than their previous mega yacht. In addition to hybrid power, the owner of the superyacht wanted it to have a minimalist look on the outside and inside because they are from the “less is more” school of thought.

Because of this, there are clean lines and a lot of glass. The inside of the ship looks like the inside of a beach house. The shape of the hull has been changed to make it less fuel-hungry. The length of the motor boat Viva is 94 meters. The superyacht can take 2,999 gross tons of cargo and has a beam of 13.6 meters. There is room for a limit of 14 people on the superyacht Viva.

The Viva is the seventh-biggest boat that Feadship has ever made. In April 2021, Viva left the Dutch shipyard and went through the Dutch canals with great care, coming dangerously close to colliding with buildings along the canals. Feadship, which has its headquarters in the Netherlands and has been around since 1849, is often seen as the most successful business that makes million-dollar superyachts that are made to order.

The famous people who made the superyacht

Every boat in the Feadship fleet raises the bar for skill, design, engineering, and building. This is because each new Feadship shows that they are getting better at what they do. This is what the company calls its never-ending search for greatness. The brand-new ship Viva shows this level of excellence in every way.

Also, Feadship will have been around for 73 years when 2022 comes around. Even though each of the three main members of the First Export Association of Dutch Shipbuilders had a history that went back several decades, the brand that is now the best-known superyacht brand in the world was officially founded in an Amsterdam café in 1949.

Every new Feadship is a big deal in and of itself, because its makers are always trying to change what perfection means and make sure that each new model is better in terms of structure and technology than the last. This approach makes yachts that can’t be copied because they use technologies from space and design methods from the 21st century. Without a question, the Viva superyacht is the best of its kind.
