decks, two Jacuzzis — one on the owner’s deck and one on the sun deck forward — and the privately positioned roof deck that delivers escapism and serenity in equal measure. Food lovers will appreciate the multitude of dining options found throughout the yacht. “On the cuisine side, Flying Fox is definitely out of this world: not only carrying some of the best chefs, with some having worked with Michelin-starred-chefs, but also having impressive galley capacities and incredible areas to dine,” say Stewart and Lepeingle. Favorite spots include the bridge deck, with a dining setup, bar and an open kitchen with cooking options, including a full-size rotisserie, tandoori, pizza oven and teppanyaki and churrasco grills, which ensure all tastes and flavors are covered. Sure to charm the adventurous spirits, Flying Fox is currently based in the Indian Ocean, with plans to venture as far as Oceania and French Polynesia in the future. Access in even the most remote anchorages is easy thanks to the two helipads on board, with the upper deck helipad ranked as ‘18-meter D-Value’ and big enough to accommodate Flying Fox ’s Airbus H175 12-seat helicopter, the largest private helicopter in the world. The upper deck helipad has a double use and can transform into a dance floor like no other for partying under the stars. This visionary yacht dwarfs her competitors — literally and figuratively — and delivers luxury escapism in the highest measure. From $3.78m per week.
