Richard Branson's 105-foot Necker Belle yacht can be yours to rent ... that is, if you're prepared to pony up a minimum of $110,000 a week.
The sailing catamaran was built in 2003 by French Shipyard CMN, and when Branson purchased the vessel in 2007 he sent it to Azzura Yachts in Australia for a two-year rebuild job. From the posh interiors to an underwater exploring vehicle (more on that later), this boat has just about everything you could want!
The Necker Belle holds 10 guests in 4 staterooms, including a master suite, 1 double cabin and 2 twin cabins, and there is also room for 6 crew members. There are hardwood floors throughout the vessel, a bar, indoor and outdoor dining areas and the bedrooms are quite spacious. Special features include a diving board, a crows nest, a PADI dive instructor, an open-air cinema and the Necker Nymph underwater aircraft. So what is this Necker Nymph exactly? It's a small vehicle with an open top that holds two passengers and a trained pilot for underwater exploration. There are scuba tanks attached, and it can go to depths of 100 feet for up to two hours.
The vessel's "impressive leisure and entertainment facilities make her the ideal charter yacht for socialising and entertaining with family and friends." We'd be inclined to agree ... check out more photos in the gallery below and the video of Richard!
