Beyoncé chose Kismet superyacht for her romantic vacation discovering the Italian coasts
A true sea giant, 95 meters long, with an ingenious layout ahead of its time, and prestigious environments are the exceptional characteristics of the superyacht Kismet. It was built by Lürssen in 2014 for Pakistani-American billionaire and tycoon Shahid Khan, known as the owner of Fulham FC and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Its realization occurred with the collaboration of design experts such as Espen Oeino International for the exteriors and Reymond Langton Design for the interiors and furnishings.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z aboard one of the most expensive charter yachts in the world
The sumptuous Kismet fascinated the couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z so much that it was chosen as their yacht during the voyage that the two granted themselves along the Italian coasts.
Married since 2008, a marriage from which they had 3 children, they are an indissoluble couple of the international jet set. She, an American and worldwide VIP singer-songwriter and multifaceted artist while he is a rapper of absolute fame, has often also collaborated artistically.
They were spotted along the Italian coasts on their first stop in Sicily, off the coast of Ragusa. They have chosen a privileged itinerary aboard this superyacht that is full of comfort. They were then also paparazzi on the shores of the magnificent Amalfi Coast, on the island of Ponza, and finally on Capri where the Kismet was moored off the coast of Villa Malaparte. Thanks to the support tender, the couple made a sea tour around the Blue Island, the last leg of their cruise. They were surprised in the square as they went for dinner and returned on board late at night.

Excellent performance for a dream yacht: Kismet
The outstanding level of the Kismet has also been expressed thanks to her excellent performance.
It is powered by two Caterpillar engines of 2720 HP each, which can make the vessel reach a maximum speed of 17 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots. The comfort on board is extraordinary: the stabilizers work at zero speed, at anchor, and in rough waters. This precious mega yacht has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure with a beam of 13.8 meters and a draft of 3.8 meters for a gross tonnage of over 2,900 tons and an estimated maximum range of 6000 nautical miles.

Large spaces onboard Kismet
Kismet can accommodate up to 12 guests in its 6 maxi cabins and 17 crew members. The highlight is the excellent master suite, which occupies the front half of the upper floor and features his and her bathrooms, fitted wardrobes, and a private whirlpool tub, not forgetting that a personal office ensures that critical business is never left out.
Interiors and exteriors treated in every part of yacht Kismet
The most exclusive services include a beauty salon, a spa, a gym, a basketball court, and a multi-level swimming pool perfect for daily entertainment. At the same time, in the evening, the cinema and the disco are ideal for spending hours in the company. On the other hand, the two helicopter landing platforms and the 25-foot Chris Craft are beneficial for organizing excursions while traveling.
The outdoor deck facilities include an outdoor fireplace, a winter garden, and a fully equipped barbecue, and the relaxation and dining areas are located on three different decks made of teak. Various relaxation areas have been fitted with a Jacuzzi and sauna, while in the solarium, there is an oval swimming pool with integrated hydromassage. The sea can be experienced in all forms thanks to the swimming platform, diving equipment, jet skis, and tender available to guests. On clear evenings, a private, open-air observation point under the stars has been designed with a lovely bed isolated from the rest of the guests and crew.
