Tony Parker puts prized luxury asset on the market for $15 million
The six-time All Star is selling his super yacht with all kinds of luxuries and to which the former player dedicated many years of his life.
Tony Parker has put the 35-meter super yacht he received just two years ago up for sale. The former San Antonio Spurs and Charlotte Hornets player, four-time NBA champion and six-time All Star has been forced to part with his boat, the ‘Infinity Nine’. The super yacht has gone on the market with a price of 15 million dollars.
The new owner of the boat will get a well-maintained explorer yacht, in near-mint condition, able to accommodate 12 guests plus a crew of seven which makes it ideal for hosting large parties.
The ‘Infinity Nine’ is a yacht that boasts all kinds of luxuries, from double cabins for guests to an extended launch platform, perfect for placing toys and tenders.
And not only that, the yacht has a range of 6,000 nautical miles (it can easily cross the Atlantic), internal volume bags so that its guests can spend long periods on board the boat and plenty of space on the deck to sunbathe and enjoy various activities in a DJ booth, a bar, a jacuzzi and a lounge area that allows you to enjoy evenings on the high seas.
All the good things about the boat are reflected in its charter price: $126,582 per week, not including things like fuel, docking, food, drinks and tips.
The boat’s annual running costs total around $2 million. Despite its high price tag, the boat has been very popular, being booked for its entire first charter season in 2022.
Explorer yachts on the rise
Commissioned in 2020, built by AVA Yachts and delivered in 2022, Infinity Nine is an esteemed member of the KANDO Explorer series, sharing her lineage with the equally impressive Lady Caroline.
The Infinity Nine is part of a growing trend of pocket explorers, i.e. small yachts capable of travelling far. Customers’ desires have evolved, they now seek to visit new parts of the world and discover exotic and remote destinations, and for this the yacht is the perfect vehicle in terms of comfort, speed and time.
The growth of this type of vessel was reflected at the recent ‘Explorer Yacht Summit’. At the event, held in Monaco, it was revealed that the number of explorer yachts currently under construction had reached 105, a record figure that exceeds the 99 of the previous year.
