The Incredible Features Of Michael Jordan's $80 Million Superyacht

Basketball superstar Michael Jordan's love of the sea is well-documented, so it's no surprise that he is the owner of an $80 million superyacht named Joy. This 230-foot luxury vessel is modern, spacious, and comes with a full-length basketball court which is an extra touch befitting of a basketball legend like Jordan. This high-end yacht has not been his only maritime purchase in past years. As an avid sports fisherman who has competed in various sports fishing tournaments, he also owns an $8 million fishing yacht dubbed Catch 23 (via CBS ).

Joy was built by the Dutch ship construction company Feadship, which also was responsible for building a superyacht for the late Steve Jobs (via AutoEvolution ). It is powered by twin 1,850-horsepower engines and has an average cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum speed of 16 knots. The former king of basketball was last seen cruising on Joy in 2019 while on a sailing trip to St. Barts with friends (via The U.S. Sun ).

Joy's interior is sleek and modern

This award-winning luxury boat oozes elegance from all corners. Photos published online show that its design emphasizes natural light and uses glass paneling and large windows all over the ship to achieve this. As a result, guests can enjoy the sublime ocean view from nearly every room on the yacht.

This luxury yacht is enormous and consists of five decks that are connected by a glass elevator and a timber spiral staircase. There are seven cabins on board, including the master's suite featuring a 270-degree view and a private terrace. There is also a VIP stateroom, four double cabins, and one twin cabin to accommodate guests. In total, it accommodates up to 12 guests and 19 crew members.

For someone as enterprising as Michael Jordan ( Forbes has estimated his net worth to be $1.7 billion), this vessel has everything a billionaire businessman needs to kick back and relax. It comes with its own bar and a jacuzzi on its main deck. There is also a fully-equipped gym and a full-length basketball court whenever he is ready to take on anyone who wants to challenge him for a pick-up ball game.

"But at home, those numbers jumped to five and a half, now was he just better at home than on the road is that common?

"The difference of 182 percent."

Some analysts did studies after the claims were made and found discrepancies in the stats.

"Michael Jordan had 12 steals, the home box score 28," Wright said.

Michael Jordan's $80 Million Yacht Is a Luxury Boat Fit for the GOAT

Let's face it: The average joe, or even most above average joes for that matter, isn't going out and buying 200-foot super yachts. Only a select few of the most successful people in this world can afford such a luxury. Take the greatest player in NBA History, Michael Jordan , for example.

There's pretty much no denying it: Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Not only was he an NBA legend who won six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls, but the five-time MVP also turned his Jordan brand into a super-successful business, making billions of dollars for Nike and opening the door for other athletes to do the same, like LeBron James. As of today, the billionaire owner of the Charlotte Hornets' net worth puts him on the Forbes list year after year.

Now, Jordan is no stranger to boating. A while back, he bought a massive sport fishing Viking Yacht named Catch 23 . It rocked the Air Jordan 3 sneaker elephant print color scheme, and he commonly used it to compete in fishing tournaments. However, one of his more recent purchase puts his old fishing boat to shame. I mean, it is an $80 million luxury yacht after all.

Below, we'll check out what the North Carolina's native pride and Joy (that's the boat's name, by the way) has to offer.

Michael Jordan's Yacht a.k.a. Joy

Coming in at a massive 230 feet, Joy can be spotted miles and miles away. With eight different full-sized cabins onboard, the yacht can house family, friends, or anyone else worthy of staying in the Master Suite with no problem at all. Inside, you'll also find a full bar with a beautiful dining room area and a 270-degree ocean view. Of course, Jordan has also hired some of the world's finest chefs and bartenders as crew members, to serve himself and the guests while out on the water.

Along with an amazing view, the rear deck is fitted with a jacuzzi and a surrounding lounge area for hanging out or tanning. Jordan isn't the kind of person that likes to just sit around though, so it makes sense that there's also a full gym at his disposal to get the blood pumping. Those five-star meals need to get burned off somehow. Additionally, it wouldn't truly be a yacht owned by basketball player Michael Jordan without a full-sized basketball court. He may not play professionally anymore, but that doesn't mean he can't teach his guests a few lessons on the court from time to time.

When it comes down to it, Jordan is a businessman. Because of that, there's also a room that's mainly dedicated to meetings with important clients. The room is fitted with top of the line audio/visual equipment, and a satellite to give a presentation that is nearly impossible to decline. What better way to pitch your ideas than from this luxurious meeting room?

To put things in perspective, this yacht costs around $840,000 each week in order to man the ship and to keep the vessel in seaworthy condition. Not exactly a small price to pay on top of the $80 million price tag, but for the top-of-the-line amenities, it seems to be worth every penny to Jordan. He truly is living the life, pulling up to the beach club on a Caribbean island, ready to take play some 1-on-1 with anyone willing to take on the GOAT.

Michael Jordan’s European Yacht Adventure: Inside the Multimillion-Dollar Boat Did He Set Sail In

Michael Jordan’s new $15 million, 82-foot yacht, called the “Catch-23” was entered into a deep-sea fishing tournament off the North Carolina coast in June. His team didn’t win, but another of Jordan’s yachts is grabbing attention. His family has been cruising around in a mega yacht, most likely his boat named M’BRACE.

Joy seems perfect for family vacation jaunt. The 230-foot yacht cost Jordan a whopping $115 million. According to Majorca Daily Bulletin, the yacht was sold in December 2022, allegedly to the basketball legend. The yacht can accommodate 12 guests and a crew of 24. Its speed is 14 knots. Launched in 2018, M’BRACE is a symbol of luxury and state-of-the-art maritime engineering.

Jordan and his wife, Yvette Prieto, have been photographed at several stops on their trip. According to the Daily Mail, the Jordans were joined by his mother, Deloris, brothers James Jr. and Larry, sister Roslyn, and other loved ones.

During their family vacation, MJ even hired a magician to entertain the group on his luxurious boat.

It’s no secret the former basketball great has a love of yachts — he owns several. So many, that there is some confusion as to what yacht he is using for vacation.

Yachts, Yachts, and More Yachts

Jordan also owns another mega yacht, Joy , that reportedly put him back $80 million.

And there are his fishing yachts — two named Catch 23. The latest is Bayliss yacht Catch-23. According to the Bayliss website, the custom boat was completed in February. The company’s description reads, “Catch 23 is a fully custom, cold-molded sportfishing yacht designed and built in Wanchese, NC. This vessel is powered by MTU 16V2000 2600 HP engines, and her custom painted hull makes her unmistakable on the water.”

According to Boat International, it is a 25-meter Motor Yacht with a top speed of 40.0 knots. She gets her power from two MTU diesel engines. The yacht can hold up to eight guests in four staterooms, with two crew members. It also apparently is in the top 5 percent by speed in the world, the outlet reports. Catch-23 is one of 5,833 motor yachts in the 24-30m size, and her top speed is 13.49 knots above the average.

Jordan’s other, earlier model Catch-23 reportedly cost $8 million.

As the New York Post reported, the couple was seen heading to dinner at the W Hotel, a European vacation like their previous family trips, including last year’s adventures in Italy and France with their twin daughters, Victoria and Ysabel.

Whichever yacht he’s on, Jordan does have an impressive fleet.

In 2020, Jordan’s Catch-23, participated in the Big Rock Fishing Tournament. Catch-23, known for its top speed of 40 knots and a range of over 500 nautical miles, is equipped with cutting-edge technology and luxurious amenities to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all aboard. Jordan traveled to the same spot, to compete in this prestigious nonprofit event, aiming to raise money for local charities.

Then this year, he added a second Catch 23 and also entered it into a fishing competition.

On June 14, in his attempt to compete in the 66th annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in Morehead City, North Carolina, the Catch-23, along with a crew of seven anglers and a captain, aiming for a hefty catch, according to The Mirror.

However, the team managed a total catch of only 400 pounds, falling well short of the tournament’s largest catch, which was a 516-pound fish. The competition had a prize was $7.5 million.

Alas, Jordan, known for his relentless competitive drive even after his NBA retirement as a six-time champion, fell short of expectations at a recent fishing competition.

The prize money would have been a fragment of his fortune, worth and estimated $3.2 billion.

TAKE a look aboard the GOAT's boat as Michael Jordan leads a lush lifestyle with modes of transportation like this.

The NBA icon owns a jaw-dropping super yacht named Joy which is valued at a gaudy €70m.

He bought the luxurious vessel in 2019, that sits alongside his £6million fishing boat Catch 23.

Immediately, he sailed to the Caribbean island of St Barts with the pals to enjoy it.

On board, it has amenities, including a deck jacuzzi, gym, and a stunning dining room.

Better still, Joy also boasts a full basketball court for Jordan to show guests he's still got it.

Jordan became the first billionaire athlete in 2015, and still earns around £120million-per-year from Nike in endorsements, so a lavish purchase was always on the horizon.

Four years later he splashed around £60million on this yacht, which comes with all the trimmings over five decks.

Measuring 230 feet long, it boasts eight cabins fit for a king with each accessible by a lift.

Each has been decorated with ocean mosaics, like skylights and bathrooms with granite finishes. And they are equipped with their own rain showers.

It offers a 270 degree ocean view, and is glass insulated to keep out the cold overnight and on chilly days.

But, aside from the lavish bedrooms, there's plenty of on offer to do onboard Joy.

There is a full bar and dining room, which Jordan will pay the world's best chefs and drink mixologists to wine and dine him when he's travelling the ocean.

And there is a jacuzzi, which can be found on deck and enjoyed as you overlook the St Thomas and Caribbean islands' coasts.

Despite retiring from the NBA in 2003, Jordan still likes to keep himself fit, in lieu of the odd cigar.

That's why he has a state-of-the-art gym to workout in on Joy.

However, the most incredible thing we've ever seen on a boat is his full-scale basketball court.

You can be sure he reminds his guests who the GOAT is on the court.

People can't believe how much Michael Jordan's weekly maintenance bill comes to on $80 million superyacht

Did you expect chartering a super-yacht to be cheap.

Kit Roberts

Michael Jordan spends a staggering amount to charter a super yacht.

Jordan is one of the richest athletes in the world and used his NBA wealth to invest and build a massive portfolio worth over $1 billion.

The yacht is owned by Indian businessman Sameer Gehlaut, and is reportedly worth around $80 million.

If that sounds like a lot for a boat, it's probably because it has more amenities and luxuries than most houses.

These include not one but two jacuzzis, a dining room, a dining room, a beach club, movie theatre, a gym, and a spa.

There is also, of course, a basketball court on board as well.

It's not just that either, as the boat also has a private chef assigned to it, as well as eight cabins for guests.

In total, the yacht has a crew of 19 on board, including a captain and sailors as well as hospitality staff.

Joy is available to charter for people who are in the business of spending their time hanging out on luxury yachts, and can afford it.

Among them is Michael Jordan, himself the owner of several yachts of his own.

But it seems that Joy offers something that the basketball legend likes a lot, as he is willing to fork out a staggering amount to charter the 70 metre boat.

So how much is he willing to spend to rent out the boat?

Well, it comes to a whopping $780,000 a week to charter the yacht.

Yes, you read that right, nearly $800k a week. That's a fair wedge of cash to be dropping on spending just one week on an enormous yacht.

Though given the amazing amenities on board the boat, the price tag perhaps shouldn't come at much of a surprise.

Even covering the cost of running such a vessel must be sky high.

You have to pay all of your staff's wages, which means covering wages for a crew of 19 people on the ship.

Then there's also the costs of actually physically keeping the boat running.

That includes buying fuel to power the twin engines.

This isn't just filling up your car - Joy's fuel tanks hold a whopping 100,000 litres (around 26,400 gallons) of fuel according to yachtcharterfleet.com.

So one tank of fuel at the current price of $5.66 a gallon in the Bahamas, where Joy is located, is just under $150,000.

No wonder chartering Joy out is so expensive!
