Haute Yacht of the Week: Nirvana

Spanning nearly 300 feet and boasting such features as helipads, jet skis, a swimming pool and a nightclub, the Nirvana yacht truly lives up to its name. Making its debut at the 22^nd Dubai International Boat Show, the multi-level Nirvana is as imposing as it is luxurious.

Built by Oceanco and exhibited by Edminston, Nirvana can accommodate up to 12 guests in addition to 27 crewmembers. It’s ranked among the world’s top 50 longest super-yachts, has a range of 6,800 nautical miles and a maximum speed of 19.5 knots, giving it trans-pacific range. Translation: this vessel can go practically anywhere in the world. While it isn’t the largest of its kind, anything it lacks in length it makes up for in superior style…and it has an asking price tag to match (more than $300 million).

The Nirvana’s six decks are accessible via a silver engraved elevator. The exterior features a stunning swimming pool lined with chaise lounges, two helipads, eight jet skis and a dozen diving kits, among other water sports equipment. For a different type of entertainment, the Nirvana offers a 3D movie theatre inside and a stage for live performances outside.

The top-of-the-line amenities continue in the yacht’s interior. The main salon doubles as a relaxing lounge by day and a nightclub once the sun goes down, complete with built-in speakers, disco lights and a roof that opens for partying under the stars. The opulent dining area seats 12. Additionally, six two-person guest cabins in a tasteful, neutral color palate feature floor-to-ceiling windows and plush interiors.
