Super Luxury Yachts Owned by Top Indian Celebs

1. Mukesh Ambani

Mukesh Ambani is the richest man in the country, so you can imagine the magnanimity of his choicest possessions, especially his luxury yacht which set him back a whopping amount of over US$ 100 million. Measuring somewhat close to 58 meters long and about 38 meters wide, its pictures reveal that it is nothing short of a floating mansion on the high sea, spread over three sprawling decks.

There are many cool features that promise absolute entertainment and relaxation onboard. It comes with a retractable solar glass roof and further fitted out with a vast spectrum of comforts and facilities. Besides exclusive space for a helipad, the high-tech yacht also includes personal guest suites, sauna, massage room, spa, piano lounge bar, outdoor sunbath area, and a pool that spans over 25 meters.

2. Vijay Mallya

Vijay Mallya, the former owner of Kingfisher Airlines, has always been a pacesetter and his love for the prized materialistic luxury is evident from his high-end purchases including Kalizma (a 50-meter yacht) and the mega yacht, Indian Empress. Not to mention, he is one of the firsts in the country to kick off this trend of owning luxury yachts. Al though Indian Empress was confiscated in 2018 due to Mallya’s legal battles, this breathtaking 95-metre yacht deserves to be on this list due to its plush features and high-end amenities.

This yacht was originally made for the member of a royal Qatari family, before Mallya owned it by paying a jaw-dropping amount of over $112 million in 2006. It is so expansive and massive that it boasts of a lavish master suite and some 15 plus guest staterooms. Add to this stunning interiors enhanced by an array of glam features like helipad, gym, Jacuzzi, beauty salon, massage room, and spacious deck spaces. Given an ardent party lover, he made this yacht a venue for several prestigious celebrations including the parties during Monaco Grand Prix which was mainly graced by A-list guests.

3. Lakshmi Mittal

Lakshmi Mittal, the Indian steel tycoon and the Executive Chairman of ArcelorMittal, is another popular super yacht owner in India. Amevi, the approximately 80 meter yacht, has been in his ownership ever since he bought it for a dear amount of $125 million in 2007. A Netherland-based company, Oceanco, built this superyacht, which is one of the largest in the world. Featuring twin engines (MTU 16V 595 TE70) with the combined power of more than 9,000 horsepower, this top class luxe vessel can cruise up to a speed of 34 kilometers per hour (18.5 knots).

Amevi has a glossy and stylish aluminum structure with a steel hull. Speaking of its magnificent interiors, it is meticulously decorated by the well-known luxury yacht designer, Alberto Pinto. The majestic vessel is catered by 20 plus crew members and can accommodate up to 16 guests in its eight VIP staterooms. While the main cabin is double and adorned with luxe fittings (including cherry furniture and Italian marble), each of the guest’s cabins is twin and has all facilities such as huge television, en-suite bathrooms etc. The vessel is also replete with a pool, gym and public areas.

Contrary to other yacht owners who rent or charter out their yachts, Amevi is solely for Mittal’s personal use. It is mostly spotted cruising at Barbados area.
