On board the 95m Lürssen superyacht Kismet

• Superyachts

"My goal was to create a yacht that many years from now will be timeless and yet still be ahead of its time. I wanted to balance awesome with welcoming,” says Shahid Khan, owner of the stunning 95m Lürssen superyacht Kismet...

A new superyacht project presents its designers with the most desirable of blank canvases.

When you get up to the 90-metre-plus mark, it’s more than a mere canvas, it’s a landscape – as empty landscapes go, this is Kentucky in the late 1600s.

But it’s not just a matter of filling the acres of virgin territory with novelties: there’s sometimes a backstory, too, which brings its own constraints.

“The stakes were high,” as exterior designer Espen Øino puts it bluntly about the initial design phase of the Lürssen Kismet .

He was also the designer of the owner’s previous Kismet (a 68-metre built at Lürssen in 2007, sold by Moran Yacht & Ship in 2013, and now named Global ).

A year after launch the owner realised he wanted something bigger. “The brief was clear: the new yacht had to be superior in all respects,” says Espen.

Screens can shelter this part of the sundeck. The spiral staircase leads to the observation deck

One’s initial impression is that there are some similarities in the look of the two Kismets – the groupings of vertical windows on the lower deck, and the rising kink from main deck level.

But the size and scale of the latest Kismet draws attention to the differences. There’s the sharper-nose and the distinctive bowsprit, as well as prominent overhangs over the wheelhouse and owner’s deck.

The dark windows stand out, too, and at a distance it is hard to define where the deck supports are, making it appear as if the decks are floating. She is a bigger beast, of course, but she actually looks more of an athlete than her sister.

A sea terrace opens up the lobby and gym spaces

“The client was very much involved in the external design of the yacht.

“The external design appearance as she appears today was penned in Chicago, in his half-finished penthouse near the top of a skyscraper,” says Espen.

“Some elements of the exterior were inspired by the Chicago skyline, such as the stainless steel air inlets aft of the funnels.”

An excellent evening retreat – the main deck cinema room

A particular emphasis from the owner’s side was on Kismet’s potential not just as a family cruising yacht but as a charter yacht and as somewhere that could be used for corporate entertaining.

These aren’t necessarily incompatible drives, but it does sharpen the design focus, and it means that the outside spaces and the inside guest areas have to brook no compromise, with relaxed and sociable areas alongside more intimate and curated spaces – what’s required is nothing less than the best of all possible worlds.

“The floorplan was very carefully laid out,” says Espen. There was, he says, “very valuable input” not only from the owner himself but also his captain Kyle Fultz and purser Geraldine Fultz, and project manager Rob Moran of Moran Yacht & Ship, who have been working for the owner for a long time. The interior design team at Reymond Langton also worked on the previous Kismet .

The first step was something of a back-to-basics approach: we know that guests on charter will favour external areas, but in what ways do they really use them?

“During the design phase of Kismet , considerable time was spent analysing the way guests would want to spend time on deck during a typical week’s cruise,” says Espen. What this research produced was an emphasis on “a number of entertainment and hang-out areas”, he adds.

This part of the sundeck, which can be screened, leads to the pool, with a run-off area if there is resonance

Since launch, the yacht has had a busy couple of years, cruising with her owner and his family, chartering for ten weeks last year, and hosting a number of large-scale parties in Florida and London.

She’s made four crossings of the Atlantic, a run to the Pacific and back, and cruised 40,000 cruising miles. There are 27 crew in all, and Kismet feels like a very happy ship.

The entertainment and hangout areas reach their exemplification in the top decks of the yacht. Espen calls the sundeck Kismet’s pièce-de-résistance, as it demonstrates the overriding theme of guest choice.

There’s an informalish dining table, close to the barbecue, with comfortable bar chairs that make it possible to linger for a meal rather than just pick at finger food. Protective screens make it possible to protect this high-up area vulnerable to sea breezes as the heat of the sun wears off.

A superbly detailed spa area

Forward of this is the huge elliptical pool with a cosier hot-tub forward further still. What you might miss at first glance is that at the after end of the pool is a cascading ‘rock garden’ feature that serves as an overflow from the pool, and integrates with the skylight of the elevator.

It’s an inspired touch that keys the whole of the sundeck’s exterior design together nicely.

AV equipment in the dining area means it can be used for business meetings

The helideck on the bridge deck below transforms into another great guest area, with occasional furniture and sunshades that allow a large group of people to gather, and it can be set up as an outdoor cinema.

There’s a shaded bar area, which transforms in the evening to a disco. The wheelhouse is forward, and in front of this there is a seating area. The whole deck exemplifies the many faces of Kismet – you can gather with a group of friends on the aft deck, or inside around the bar, while if you want to escape with a book, the hanging seats provide some shade and seclusion.

Up top, the observation deck has the best views in the house

Back on the sundeck, the spiral staircase provides an elegant intro to what Espen calls “possibly my favourite spot on the yacht” – a private observation deck and sunbathing area. You can lock yourself away in silent contemplation as you relax on the sunpad.

It’s a remarkable spot that also provides a DJ station during parties. The corporate entertaining face of the yacht is shown with the comprehensive RGB lighting system that can generate sponsor’s colours. Taken together, these three upper decks are a good example of how that “balance between awesome and welcoming” has been achieved.

A deck below on the owner’s deck, full use has been made of Kismet’s vastness, with the outside spaces offering something that continues the option-heavy choices of the decks above. There’s a formal dining table shaded by the overhang from the deck above and more glass screens, and served by a bar and buffet to port and starboard.

On sunny days the screens keep the wind off, but they extend right round the space. Once enclosed, guests can be suitably air-conditioned in what had been dubbed the yacht’s ‘winter garden’, and there’s certainly a relaxed, end-of-day and out-of-office feel to the place. There’s more seating aft.

The bridge deck helipad transforms into a magical hangout space

Forward, the owner has access to a private deck area that offers a hot-tub and sunpads. The owner gets a great view from this private space over the clean expanse of foredeck. With the mooring gear fully enclosed on the main deck below, there was an opportunity to utilise this space in as many ways possible.

It can serve as a demi-basketball court once a hoop is erected (there are court markings on deck) and nets go up to keep the ball inboard. And it also serves as a second touch-and-go helipad. Finally, it can be shaded and tented to create an informal evening dining area.

Right forward at the stainless steel bowsprit there’s a base for the imposing 6ft tall and 15ft long removable sculpture of a jaguar – a reference to one of the owner’s sporting interests, the Jacksonville Jaguars (there are jaguar motifs everywhere on board).

This beast was created on the world’s largest 3D printer in Belgium, and is mostly deployed on match days. The eyes of the jaguar can be lit, which is presumably a feature employed on winning match days. The cat lives alongside the rescue tender when not in use.

The main deck seating aft – a ‘firepit’ feature

The main deck has its own space aft, which serves as a spacious welcoming area with bars either side of a dining table. But the real attraction is aft, often a main deck area that becomes lined with seating inside the guardrails. On Kismet , there are semi-circles of seating either side of a firepit that converts to a coffee table. Once again, Kismet has myriad options for guests.

For the yacht’s interior, Reymond Langton Design’s brief was to answer two needs – to create something that gave a sense of perspective on the new 95-metre vessel, and (as with the exterior spaces) to let the yacht function as a family retreat and an entertainment hub for larger groups.

Once again, the demands aren’t necessarily conflicting, but they need to be managed if they are to be fulfilled successfully. It’s the set-piece spaces of Kismet’s interior that really impress – particularly the architectural drama of the double-height spaces on the main and owner’s deck entertainment spaces.

The bar on the main deck leads to a piano bar

Pascale Reymond calls the overall design philosophy “a rich contemporary interpretation of Art Deco themes”. The bold geometric shapes and vivid contrasts of Art Deco have been successfully used for a generation of modern superyacht interiors.

It’s a flexible form, capable of reinterpretation in a contemporary style, with a modern art vibe that never tends towards abstraction. It works for the small stuff, and the big stuff, too – and it doesn’t get much bigger than the sweeping staircase between the salons on the main and owner’s decks.

If it weren’t for the monster video walls either side, you might have been whisked back for a moment to the first-class lounge of a 1930s liner. The ornately decorated glass walkway with a view down to the main deck is an inspired touch.

Decoish styling and video walls around the main deck piano lounge

There is another staircase too (opposite which is a lift to take you from the main deck to the sundeck), which frames the elegant lobby areas on the main and owner’s decks, but it’s the main staircase that serves as not only a visual feast but as a division point of the different areas.

The staircase rises over a piano bar, with a more formal lounge and bar, and a welcoming lobby, aft of that. Between the main deck foyer and the piano lounge there is a cinema room with overhead projector and semi-circle of seating. The space also doubles as a cigar room and sports bar – a further example of Kismet’s Protean charms.

An owner’s suite inspired by Chanel

Immediately above this space on the owner’s deck is the formal dining area. It makes grand use of the full beam of the yacht, and there is a further lounge aft. The owner benefits from a superbly appointed office to starboard off a centreline corridor.

There is plenty of space to play with and it has been put to good use, with a separate boudoir. Styling in the bedroom is inspired by Coco Chanel, which fits the Decoish vibe nicely, while the centreline gas fireplace adds a reassuringly homely vibe. Pascale Reymond calls the suite a “self-contained retreat at the heart of the yacht”.

Guest cabins on the main deck continue the styling theme

The main-deck guest suites are divided into three twins (that convert to doubles) and two VIPs forward, with the VIPs having more of an Art Nouveau styling theme. On the lower deck, there is an occasional guest cabin, as well as a gym and superb wellness areas for guests, including an ice fountain.

Mosaics and styling details add a touch of Zen and of the mystical east to the yacht, while a sea terrace to starboard opens up the guest space. The spa is one of Kismet’s standout areas, and is proving particularly popular with charter guests.

There are so many places for guests to lose themselves here. Among Kismet’s crew is a masseuse and beautician, a hair stylist (there’s a hair and beauty parlour), and a yoga teacher.

Guests have so many great places to choose from aboard Kismet

“Walt Disney once famously said, ‘If you can dream it, you can do it’. When you experience Kismet , you know this to be true. And for that, Lürssen should be extremely proud,” owner Shahid Khan says.

The latest instalment of Kismet’s story with an Atlantic crossing after a summer in Europe that has included a cruise of Norway. Another season of dreaming and doing awaits.

‘People Don’t Want to Be Inside’: How the Outdoors Became Yachtmakers’ Most Coveted Design Element

“The original intention was to make Kismet the most luxurious charter boat on the water,” Captain Dave Andrews told Robb Report . Nearly 10 years since the yacht was launched, Khan is ready to go bigger. His third custom-built Lürssen weighs 5,500 tons—almost double Kismet ’s weight—and is scheduled to be delivered in November. Kismet is listed for sale with Cecil Wright for a cool $160 million and is currently the largest yacht for sale on the market.

A Champagne-colored chandelier by Crystal Caviar is the most obvious feature of his brief to the designers. The statement light hangs in the central lobby next to a sweeping black-and-gold Art Deco staircase, suspended, of course, over a grand piano. There is a glass elevator in the lobby with access to all decks. The overall feel of the yacht is an ornate gentleman’s club with lavish marble, etched glass flooring, gold-leaf finishes, and backlit onyx.

“We either anchor in Canary Wharf or go to the warship mooring downstream of Tower Bridge as the boss likes the view of the bridge,” says Andrews.

The sports theme continues with two full-height video walls—used to display images of Khan’s football players when hosting business events—that flank the central staircase leading into the double-height main salon and continue across the floor, walls, and ceiling. In the sky lounge, a large sports bar opens out across the bridge deck aft for hosting large groups of people. When the party keeps going, it converts into a disco with a built-in sound system.

On the foredeck is a touch-and-go helipad, though it’s never used. Instead, regular games of basketball are played with temporary netting erected to catch any balls that bounce out of court. “We always have a deckhand standing by on a Waverunner,” says Andrews.

The foredeck serves as the owner’s private deck with a Jacuzzi and is also used for yoga. It leads directly into the master suite with twin en suites, a private office, oval skylight, and one of three bioethanol fireplaces. The other two are in the main salon. When lit, they carry a cooler flame than a naked fire. There is also a foredeck fire pit for keeping guests warm on colder nights, which converts into a cocktail table.

Kismet has seven additional guest suites, sleeping 16 guests in total. This includes two VIPs and a sea cabin on the lower deck amidships for guests who suffer from seasickness. There are also crew quarters for 26.

“The spa was mandated by the owners to be a place they can just chill out in,” says Andrews. It has a hammam, a spa bath, a cold plunge pool, a steam shower and a massage room with an onboard spa therapist. Opening shell doors in the gym allow for workouts by the water’s edge. There is also a separate hair and beauty salon, with a dedicated onboard hairdresser.

In the garage is a full chest of water toys and four tenders. Up top, the sun deck is built for lounging, with a pool and hot tub, sofas, sunpads, and outdoor dining under the hard top.

A crow’s nest platform is dedicated to viewing the ocean or sunning in privacy. It just goes to show that even on a vast, 312-foot yacht, cozy, intimate spaces rule the roost.

Inside A $200 Million Entertainment Superyacht: The Tycoon Shahid Khan’s Kismet

Grand, magnificent, and luxurious, it's very easy to run out of superlatives for Shahid Khan’s $200 million superyacht.

This Kismet superyacht measuring 95.2 meters was built by Lurssen in 2014 and is owned by Shahid Khan, a Pakistani-American billionaire and business tycoon who also owns the Fulham Football Club and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Shahid Khan is one of those billionaires whose life story has the potential to become a successful film.

Khan's rags-to-riches story began in Pakistan, where he was born, and took a decisive turn when he immigrated to the United States as a teenager. According to Forbes, the business tycoon, who is now worth more than $8 billion, worked as a dishwasher while attending the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Years later, he would become the owner of auto parts distributor Flex-N-Gate. Although he is best known today for owning the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars and the Fulham football club in the United Kingdom, Khan first rose to prominence as an engineer who created a one-piece truck bumper. He now owns several companies in the entertainment industry and has come a long way since his humble beginnings.

Shahid "Shad" Khan, the self-made American bumper-parts billionaire, is nothing if not daring in his business dealings, which is why he has been able to leverage his NFL team, the Jacksonville Jaguars , into regular guest appearances at London's Wembley Stadium. This summer, he's in intense talks to buy Wembley Stadium from the Football Association of Great Britain, which owns it.

The German Lürssen shipyard began construction of a new superyacht for Khan in 2014, the same year Khan purchased Fulham from Mohamed Al-Fayed. The 312-foot-long (92-meter-long) Kismet combined a majestic exterior by Espen Oeino with the interior of a five-star hotel designed by Reymond Langton Design.

A Breathtaking Overview: A $200 Million Entertainment Superyacht, The Tycoon Shahid Khan’s Kismet

Lürssen, based in Bremen, Germany, is one of those well-known shipyards with a long history. Lürssen is credited with designing the world's first motorboat , which was commissioned by none other than Gottlieb Daimler, who wanted to put his engine to the test. Returning to modern times, Lürssen is best known for delivering the famous Azzam, a 2015 superyacht that set new length and speed records.

The shipyard referred to Kismet as "the ultimate entertainment vessel." It can accommodate 18 guests in eight ultra-luxurious staterooms and 27 crew members. It has zero-speed anchor stabilizers for improved onboard comfort, as well as a top speed of more than 17 knots. "Some elements of the exterior, such as the stainless steel air inlets aft of the funnels, were inspired by the Chicago skyline," Espen told Superyacht World.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z famously chartered Khan's Kismet during the summer of 2018 for around $1.2 million per week. They've since moved on to the $4 million-per-week Flying Fox, while Kismet has continued its journey. Moran Yacht and Ship has it listed for nearly $200 million right now. Perhaps Shahid Khan is ready to upgrade to a larger superyacht, as he did with Kismet, which was a step up from his previous smaller yacht.

However, the Khan boat merits more scrutiny than just the list of its celebrity or near-celebrity passengers. The Kismet exudes a very specific type of built-in opulence, with an exterior designed by Espen Oeino and an interior designed by Reymond Langton – the Bath-based British designer who has realized several notable superyachts.

The Interior Design Of The Tycoon Shahid Khan’s Kismet Is One That Exudes Incredible Grandiose

Kismet was built to be a charter yacht from the beginning, which meant it would be busy not only cruising with its owner, but also chartering for short periods of time or hosting large corporate parties. Its large spaces were created with entertainment in mind. The Kismet has five decks above the waterline and three outdoor lounging areas, the main one of which is located on the fourth deck's aft section and features a pool and hot tub complex.

A cinema, a full-service spa, an indoor/outdoor dining space for twelve that doubles as a bar, and a formal interior dining room with a stair leading to a ballroom space are all available on the premises. One of the dark, lush staterooms is adorned with an oil portrait of a pair of lounging jaguars — get it? The master stateroom's bath has the expected gilt fixtures. The sundeck (which includes a swimming pool and a built-in Jacuzzi) was built with the aft end of the pool serving as a skylight for the lift shaft. A spiral staircase leads to one of the yacht's unique features: a private observation platform with an outdoor bed, ideal for stargazing.

Kismet has two helipads, one of which is located beneath the sundeck and can be configured as an outdoor cinema or a nightclub area. The second can also be used as a mini-basketball court. The owner deck has a formal dining area as well as a private area with a Jacuzzi and sun-pads. The aft on the main deck is one of the most spectacular features, with surprising semicircular seating around a unique, retractable fireplace that doubles as a coffee table.

In terms of spectacular features, Khan's superyacht includes a six-foot (1.8-meter) removable jaguar statue honoring the Jacksonville Jaguars. According to Superyacht World, the jaguar motif can be found throughout the yacht, serving as the perfect accent to the opulent interior décor that showcases the finest materials. Aside from the "mandatory" luxurious spa and fully-equipped gym, Kismet includes an elegant piano bar and lounge – there's something for everyone and every occasion onboard this versatile yacht.

95m Lürssen superyacht Kismet returns to London

Related articles, superyacht directory.

The legendary 95 metre Lürssen superyacht Kismet has returned to London and is currently moored in Canary Wharf against the backdrop of the city. The yacht was last spotted in the capital in October 2021 (pictured and video here) where she stayed for a couple of weeks before making the Atlantic crossing.

• Kismet : The story of Shahid Khan's 95m superyacht

According to BOAT Pro AIS data Kismet was in the South of France at the start of September. Since then she has visited the Balearics and Barcelona before heading through the Strait of Gibraltar towards London.

The superyacht, which features exterior design penned by Espen Øino and interiors by Reymond Langton , is owned by Shahid Khan. Among his assets, Khan also counts two football teams, the Fulham football club in the UK and the Jacksonville Jaguars in the US.

Key features throughout the standout superyacht include five decks, eight guest suites and two helipads. The interior meanwhile is bedecked with surprises, including video walls, an electric piano built into a bar and an art deco chandelier weighing 350kg. The owner’s suite meanwhile includes a fireplace, skylight and 180-degree views.

Kismet is currently listed for sale with Moran Yacht & Ship with an asking price of €169,000,000.

Shahid Khan’s Yacht Kismet: An Insider’s Look

Kismet is a superyacht built by the shipyard Lurssen back in 2014. For years, Lurssen has been behind the largest and most luxurious yachts on the water. It is managed by Moran Yacht Ship Chartering on behalf of owner Shahid Khan. He had a previous yacht named Kismet, so this is technically the Kismet II, but it didn’t get the number as part of the name.

How Much Did the Motor Yacht Kismet Cost

It’s believed that Khan spent about $200 million on Kismet in 2014. The boat has been up for sale a few times since then. In 2020 Moran had it listed for a price of €169,000,000, which is about $182.5 million today. It’s for sale again in 2023. The price for the 2023 sale has not been publicly disclosed. That said, the 2020 price came about after a $16 million drop midway through the year, which may have been further reduced.

How Big is the Kismet Superyacht?

Though not the largest yacht in the world by any stretch, the superyacht Kismet is still incredibly large by most people’s standards. It measures an impressive 312 feet long and features a 45-foot beam. It has a gross tonnage of 2,928 and has space for 12  guests in 7 guest cabins.

In addition to the guests, there is room on board for 28 crew members to keep the vessel running and see to the guests’ needs. 

Can You Charter the Yacht Kismet?

Unlike some yachts owned by billionaires that like to remain private and stay under wraps, Shahid Khan has opened up Kismet for charter. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s affordable to most people or anything like that. During the summer, chartering the Kismet costs about $1,294,000 per week. In the off-season, you get a deal of only $1,200,000. This doesn’t include the price of fuel, food, or dockage fees.

Design and Features

With teak decks, a steel hull, and an aluminum superstructure, the Kismet is built similarly to other superyachts of recent history, at least in technical terms. The exterior design features a mosaic tile swimming pool resembling a clear water lagoon. When sunlight fills the space, it’s pretty breathtaking.

The pool features an inset jacuzzi and is located on the upper deck. It’s positioned such that guests in the water still have a perfect view of the surrounding sea. There’s also a nearby observation deck that allows guests to have a better look around.

The Kismet certainly lives up to the idea of a luxury yacht in numerous ways. The interior was designed by Reymond Langton Design, and Espen Oeino styled the exterior. The yacht has also had more than its fair share of brushes with fame. For instance, if you have seen the Netflix movie 6 Underground with Ryan Reynolds, you’ve seen the yacht as it was featured in the film.

Off-screen, the yacht was also chartered by Jay-Z and Beyonce when they went on vacation to Italy back in 2018.

The owner’s suite on its private deck is decorated in gold, black, and marble. It features his and her bathrooms with a private jacuzzi, large wardrobes, private helipad access, and office space. The staterooms for guests are all uniquely designed, some inspired by a Japanese aesthetic and others doing Art Deco. 

Some billionaires are pretty tight-lipped about what goes on inside their yachts. Still, because Kismet is available for charter, there’s a lot of information about what you can expect to find on board what is arguably one of the most spectacular luxury yachts on the water today. And since it’s all laid out, you can see the incredible features and amenities waiting on board. Given the cost to charter the boat for just a week, it ensures you’re getting your money’s worth. Here are some of the highlights:

• A winter garden deck
• A retractable outdoor fireplace for those chilly nights or roasting marshmallows any time
• Video walls in the main salon area
• Speaking of, the main salon is a double-height space spanning the main and upper aft deck
• A multi-level swimming pool and a full sun deck
• A luxurious bridge deck lounge
• Three different areas where guests can lounge or dine in
• A sports bar
• Grand piano in the main lounge area
• A full-size disco/nightclub
• A dedicated club room that converts to a movie theater
• There’s also an outdoor cinema for when the weather makes it more hospitable to watch a film under the night sky
• A closed-loop system that warms the waters in the pool, Jacuzzi, and elsewhere with heat from the engines so that it runs greener than other yachts
• A dedicated spa area
• A total gym with extensive workout gear and equipment
• A beauty salon
• A large beach club
• An elevator to help navigate across the multiple decks or a winding staircase if you prefer the old-fashioned way

Because there’s so much going on with the Kismet, we will separate the toys from the rest of the amenities even though they all fit together. The tender garage of the Kismet has a lot in store for people who like to have fun on the water. 

• A pair of jet skis
• Tow toys such as skis and tubes
• Scuba diving equipment and snorkeling gear
•  A 31’11 Hinckley Talaria Runabout 29 Limo Tender
• A Yamaha AR192 sports tender
• Another 29-foot tender
• A Fassmer rescue boat
• Fishing gear

How Fast is the Kismet Yacht?

Twin Caterpillar 3516-C diesel engines power the yacht. Together they can get it up to a top speed of 17 knots. Cruising speed is about 14 knots, however.

Who is Shahid Khan?

The billionaire owner of the Kismet yacht is Shahid Khan, arguably most well-known for owning the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL, the All Elite Wrestling League (or AEW), and the Fulham FC football club. He joins Jerry Jones and Tom Brady in owning a remarkable yacht.

His net worth has been estimated to be just over $12 billion. Originally from Pakistan, he has American citizenship and owns the auto parts manufacturing company Flex-N-Gate Corporation.

The Bottom Line

The superyacht known as Kismet is owned by billionaire Shahid Khan. It was built in 2014 for an initial cost of approximately $200 million. The yacht is currently for sale, and the price is down to about $169 million, though it may be lower.

The yacht measures an impressive 312 feet and can reach a top speed of 17 knots. It’s been host to several celebrities over the years and even featured in a Ryan Reynolds movie once.

Kismet is available for charter at around $1.2 million per week or a little more if you want to charter during the summer. There are numerous features and amenities for guests, including a swimming pool, a retractable fireplace, and plenty of toys that can be used in the water.

My grandfather first took me fishing when I was too young to actually hold up a rod on my own. As an avid camper, hiker, and nature enthusiast I'm always looking for a new adventure.

Design and description

The vessel measures 95.2 m (312 ft 4 in) long overall with a beam of 13.8 m (45 ft 3 in). The megayacht was measured at 2,928  gross tonnage  (GT) and 320 tons deadweight (DWT) at construction. [4] The ship has a maximum speed of 17 knots (31 km/h; 20 mph). [5] Kismet can carry 28 crew members at a time, and has eight state rooms which provide a capacity for 16 guests. Its design includes large and open public spaces for lounging and dining, and the rooms are stylized with exotic woods, handcrafted textiles, marble and leather. [2] The exterior is notable for its large-sized windows across all decks. [2]

It was finished in a luxurious style by Reymond Langton and Espen Øino (Oeino), with an expensive interior design. [6] [2] The fittings were specified to be better than a "five star hotel", featuring a deck of black marble and a large bath made of solid onyx . [6] The yacht is complete with a swimming pool, barbecue area, movie theatre, sauna, helipad, elevator and gymnasium. [2] Other amenities and provisions include an onboard internet connection, underwater lighting, and stabilizers at the anchor and underway . [2]

In 2023 the vessel was retrofitted with a 474 kWh Orca ESS battery from Corvus Energy installed at the Lürssen-Krüger Werft shipyard. [7]

Construction and career

Kismet was ordered from Lurssen [5] and constructed at Krögerwerft's shipyard in Schacht-Audorf, Germany. [4] Construction was completed in October 2014, with the yacht entering service that year. [4] The word kismet means "destiny" or "fate" in Khan's native language Urdu and many other languages. [8] According to Yacht Harbour , Kismet is worth an estimated $200 million. [9] It has a charter price of $1.2 million per week, excluding food, fuel and dockage costs. [10] [2]

In mid-2018, the yacht was rented by Jay-Z and Beyoncé during a vacation to Italy. [10] Kismet was featured in the 2019 Netflix film 6 Underground starring Ryan Reynolds. [11] The yacht was listed for sale in 2023. [5]

Christie adds that Kismet is undoubtedly one of the most recognisable and impressive yachts delivered by the shipyard Lürssen to date.

“ Kismet is a truly special yacht that has found a great new home,” he says. “We are looking forward to seeing the new owner and satisfied charter guests enjoy many happy years of future cruising on board.

At 95.2m/312'4", iconic charter yacht Whisper features a compelling line-up of living areas and modern amenities and abounds in luxury and comfort

Built in 2014 by Lurssen, the 312.34ft/95.2m Custom motor yacht ‘WHISPER’ ex Kismet features an interior designed by Reymond Langton Design and an exterior styled by Espen Oeino.

Bringing together a team composed of award winners, superyacht WHISPER is unquestionably the realisation of both luxury and uncompromised perfection. Timeless whilst still lightyears ahead of her time, WHISPER couples astounding technical quality with innovative design work.

Exterior Design

Featuring the pioneering styling of the acclaimed Espen Oeino, the exterior of superyacht WHISPER has been gracefully shaped in order to meet the owner’s brief for a yacht which would be an unrivalled charter choice and a premier entertainer. Built with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, she is sleek, and replete with all of the amenities necessary for satisfying the modern charterer. One such conversation point regarding her exterior is the mosaic tiled pool with an inset Jacuzzi on the upper foredeck. Due to its position, this Jacuzzi affords guests the perfect observation platform from which to overlook the sea and coastlines whilst underway or at-anchor. For those who prefer to remain dry whilst taking in the sights, four Stidd chairs have been strategically placed around the Jacuzzi in order to provide the same scope without obstructing the view of those taking a soak. To get even higher to secure an unparalleled photo opportunity, a winding staircase a short distance away provides access to a dedicated observation deck which can be enjoyed throughout the day. Bearing a walkaround layout, the team at Espen Oeino have recessed all of the storage compartments to allow for an undisrupted flow when navigating the various outdoor spaces of WHISPER- a decision which likewise provides the perfect excuse for taking an evening stroll to coincide with the sunset. Another uniquely impressive addition to the exterior is the secondary helipad on the foredeck which nicely doubles up as a basketball court, whilst the helipad on the bridge deck is easily converted into an exceptionally relaxed outdoor lounging area. Keen to keep guests entertained at night as well as by day, a fire pit with an integrated waterfall has been installed on the aft deck to provide just the right amount of heat for guests who want to enjoy their meals al freso at the dining table just a short distance away. Of course, it goes without saying that the four foot black jaguar resting on the bowsprit of superyacht WHISPER is very much the finishing touch to such a superbly arranged exterior.

Interior Design

Asked to create a compelling and distinct interior based on a ‘Champagne & Caviar’ theme, Reymond Langton Design have arranged both the social and private spaces to remain suitable whether guests are throwing a glamorous party or simply relaxing over a few drinks. Similar to the innovation found outdoors, the interior of superyacht WHISPER features a double-height main salon which spans the main and upper deck aft. Reached via a sweeping staircase, this area is infused with a colour scheme and architecture reminiscent of the Art Deco movement. Indeed, the juxtaposition of blacks and golds creates a strikingly luxurious ambience which is perfect for indulging both after-hours champagne and morning coffee. Nicely flexible, guests can have jazz tunes coming from the grand piano if they’re entertaining, or light one of the two fireplaces if it’s a more cozy vibe they’re after. The skylounge, meanwhile, exudes a more casual atmosphere thanks to its beach house style decor. Yet, with a large sports bar that opens out across the vast deck aft, the space easily transforms into a disco nightclub.

Guest Accommodation

A veritable masterpiece, the owner’s suite of superyacht WHISPER occupies the forward half of the upper deck. Featuring his and hers bathing rooms, room-size wardrobes, and even a private Jacuzzi, this suite comes with a personal office for attending to any necessary business whilst away on vacation. The two generously sized VIP suites on the main deck reflect the Art Nouveau influences which can be traced in the interior social spaces, whilst the remaining staterooms adopt Art Deco and Japanese themes to provide a stunning array of sleeping options. Ultimately, whichever room guests find themselves resting in on-board WHISPER, they can be assured that they’ll be doing so in total style.

Onboard Comfort & Entertainment

As well as providing a cinema screen on the foredeck, a party-friendly and spacious main salon, and a wealth of lounging spots on her exterior, WHISPER also offers a range of  possibilities for enjoying some activities. Storing her impressive range of tenders and toys in a garage which doubles up as a spot for some waterside aerobics and yoga, superyacht WHISPER is also fully prepared for the more adventurous charter guests who are keen to get out on the water and in amongst the action.

Special Features

Designed in conjunction with a sports loving owner, WHISPER features a dedicated club room which can also be converted into a comfortably sized cinema. What’s more, the staircase leading into the main salon is flanked by two full-height video walls which mean guests can enjoy some drinks and company whilst keeping up the game. With an eye for greener alternatives to standard engineering, superyacht WHISPER features an innovative ‘closed loop system’ which allows the pool, Jacuzzi, and other sources of water to be heated via her exhaust- yet further evidence that she is a yacht at the forefront of design.

Located on the lower deck, a fully dedicated spa area features both a beauty salon and gymnasium to take care of guests whilst they’re away on vacation. Consistent with the intricate design work found elsewhere on-board, this space boasts hand-crafted and commissioned artwork, tailored furnishings, and incredibly soothing textures to create an effortlessly relaxed ambience.

Performance & Range

As a custom displacement yacht, WHISPER also features ‘at anchor stabilisers’ which work at zero speed, increasing onboard comfort at anchor and on rough waters. With a cruising speed of 14 knots, a maximum speed of 17 knots, and a range of 6,000nm from her 220,000 fuel tanks, she effortlessly marries performance with luxury.

When not cruising Whisper has onboard an incredible selection of water toys and accessories for you and your guests to connect with the waters around you. Guests can experience the thrill and adventure of riding one of the three Yamaha WaveRunners. Additionally, there are towable toys offering fun and adventure. In addition there are waterskis that are hugely entertaining whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro. If that isn't enough Whisper also features a seabob, wakeboards, kayaks, fishing equipment, scuba diving equipment and much more. Whisper features three tenders, but leading the pack is a 10m/32'10" Hinckley Limo Tender to transport you in style.

Why Charter Whisper

As one of the largest and most sophisticated superyachts available for charter, WHISPER is the ideal choice for those looking to experience a premier luxury vacation whilst enjoying the very best in design and amenities. Truly dynamic, WHISPER allows guests to relax or entertain in unparalleled style and in a distinctly unique setting.

Whisper and her crew are available for charter this winter for cruising within Bermuda and the Caribbean. She is already accepting bookings this summer for cruising in the Mediterranean.
