Ever found yourself watching HBO’s hit series Succession and wondered about the real-life price tag of the lavish yacht featured in Connor’s wedding episode? And if you could rent it? Well, it turns out you can!
The star of that unforgettable episode, the Hornblower Infinity, is more than just a prop. This magnificent vessel, boasting four decks, five bars, five dance floors, and 360-degree views of New York City’s skyline, can be yours for a day. The price to rent this floating marvel for a wedding or other event? A hefty $144,461. But don’t worry, this includes gourmet catering, top-shelf bar service, and entertainment for up to 1,000 friends…even mini champagne bottles. You can also replicate the notorious “phone call” scene if you’re feeling particularly dramatic…for a price.
“Because of its grand size and the minimum guest count of 500 people, we typically see the Infinity booked for corporate events, but we have certainly transformed it for weddings, and given the right wedding budget, there’s little we can’t do,” says Nilda Bracero, General Manager of City Cruises New York, which rents the vessel.
That should make for some great photos for your wedding album!
Look inside the Hornblower Infinity
If you wanted to buy it, that’s another story. While it’s not currently for sale, the average price of a new yacht is around $3.5 million per 3.3 feet. At 210 ft, that means a yacht like the Hornblower would cost at least $63 million.
If the Hornblower Infinity’s price tag sends shivers down your spine, the same company offers more budget-friendly options to rent starting at $1,200. You can still experience luxury with the Wild Goose, once the private yacht of John Wayne, or the Dream Maker, a star in its own right, having been featured in The Bold and the Beautiful.
But what if money is no object and you crave the ultimate extravagance? Well, we have good and bad news. The History Supreme is considered the world’s most expensive yacht, ringing in at an astronomical $4.8 billion. Adorned with 100,000 kg of gold and platinum, and housing a statue made from a genuine T-Rex’s bone, this yacht epitomizes opulence. The bad news? Rumor is nobody’s actually seen it, raising its mythical status even higher.
If yacht-shopping is your thing and the History Supreme is already spoken for, you could consider one of the other yachts, below. Commandeered by the world’s financial elite, these mega yachts are the epitome of opulence, kitted out with stuff that’s straight out of a James Bond movie. From swanky VIP rooms and grand pianos that Elton John would approve of, to tennis courts big enough for a Wimbledon showdown, no cost was spared. These boats also pack in some seriously impressive art collections, wine cellars that’d make a sommelier swoon, and home theaters that could give IMAX a run for its money. Oh, and did we mention recording studios, out-of-this-world swimming pools, and helicopter landing pads? The best part? You might just be able to rent one of these bad boys for a day. Or better yet, buy one!
