Michael Jordan's $80 Million Yacht Is a Luxury Boat Fit for the GOAT

Let's face it: The average joe, or even most above average joes for that matter, isn't going out and buying 200-foot super yachts. Only a select few of the most successful people in this world can afford such a luxury. Take the greatest player in NBA History, Michael Jordan , for example.

There's pretty much no denying it: Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Not only was he an NBA legend who won six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls, but the five-time MVP also turned his Jordan brand into a super-successful business, making billions of dollars for Nike and opening the door for other athletes to do the same, like LeBron James. As of today, the billionaire owner of the Charlotte Hornets' net worth puts him on the Forbes list year after year.

Now, Jordan is no stranger to boating. A while back, he bought a massive sport fishing Viking Yacht named Catch 23 . It rocked the Air Jordan 3 sneaker elephant print color scheme, and he commonly used it to compete in fishing tournaments. However, one of his more recent purchase puts his old fishing boat to shame. I mean, it is an $80 million luxury yacht after all.

Below, we'll check out what the North Carolina's native pride and Joy (that's the boat's name, by the way) has to offer.

Coming in at a massive 230 feet, Joy can be spotted miles and miles away. With eight different full-sized cabins onboard, the yacht can house family, friends, or anyone else worthy of staying in the Master Suite with no problem at all. Inside, you'll also find a full bar with a beautiful dining room area and a 270-degree ocean view. Of course, Jordan has also hired some of the world's finest chefs and bartenders as crew members, to serve himself and the guests while out on the water.

Along with an amazing view, the rear deck is fitted with a jacuzzi and a surrounding lounge area for hanging out or tanning. Jordan isn't the kind of person that likes to just sit around though, so it makes sense that there's also a full gym at his disposal to get the blood pumping. Those five-star meals need to get burned off somehow. Additionally, it wouldn't truly be a yacht owned by basketball player Michael Jordan without a full-sized basketball court. He may not play professionally anymore, but that doesn't mean he can't teach his guests a few lessons on the court from time to time.

When it comes down to it, Jordan is a businessman. Because of that, there's also a room that's mainly dedicated to meetings with important clients. The room is fitted with top of the line audio/visual equipment, and a satellite to give a presentation that is nearly impossible to decline. What better way to pitch your ideas than from this luxurious meeting room?

To put things in perspective, this yacht costs around $840,000 each week in order to man the ship and to keep the vessel in seaworthy condition. Not exactly a small price to pay on top of the $80 million price tag, but for the top-of-the-line amenities, it seems to be worth every penny to Jordan. He truly is living the life, pulling up to the beach club on a Caribbean island, ready to take play some 1-on-1 with anyone willing to take on the GOAT.

Taking a look at the $80 million super yacht of Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls legend and the GOAT to many.

Derick Quinanola

There are a ton of perks when you're the richest athlete to ever step foot on Earth. Michael Jordan sold his basketball team for billions, a $29 million mansion that he doesn't mind hasn't been sold for almost a decade, one of the rarest cars in the world … The list goes on.

But one of the most expensive single purchases Jordan ever made with his money to date was on an $80 million yacht named ‘Joy'. What's more, that's not even the only yacht Jordan owns. He also has a $21 million yacht called ‘Mr. Terrible', which is pretty fitting when you compare the two yachts he has to his name.

First acquired by Jordan in 2016, the vessel spans 230 feet in length and outlines at almost 10 feet. Its maximum speed is 16 knots while its cruising speed is 12 knots. He was first spotted cruising with the yacht on his way to the Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy with some of his closest friends. Lastly, the superstructure is built of Aluminum, the decks are made of Teak wood, and the entire ship is insulated with glass aluminum to accommodate the changing weather and was specially developed by Bannenberg & Rowell Designs.

Amenities inside Michael Jordan's yacht

Michael Jordan named this yacht Joy for a reason. Anything that can bring him or anyone joy can be found inside his yacht. For starters, it comes in five decks, eight cabins, an indoor jacuzzi, a movie theater, a spa, and a stunning dining room. One of the biggest perks of this yacht is the owner's pavilion. This is where you'll find the yacht's penthouse suite, personal office, and a terrace to check out the best views of the ocean.

If you plan to stay active while on the yacht, it has you covered too. It also comes with a gym and an indoor basketball court. After all, what more can you expect from the yacht of one of the greatest basketball players in the world?

When it comes to maintenance, Joy definitely doesn't come cheap. There's a crew of around 19 people onboard the ship 24/7 and costs $800,000 a week to maintain as per Marca . Luckily, this yacht isn't exclusive to Jordan or his friends and family. In fact, anyone can rent Joy for a week. All you'll need is $840,000!

Take a look below at some of the pictures of Michael Jordan's super yacht.

A Firsthand Look at Michael Jordan’s $80 Million Yacht

Michael Jordan is one of the most respected men on the planet.

From being the basketball G.O.A.T to an iconic businessman, Jordan has cultivated a life most dream of. After wrapping up a legendary NBA career, MJ elevated his brand into a billion-dollar business; officially becoming the first billionaire athlete in 2015, and now currently ranking in the top 5 of wealthiest celebrities according to Forbes.

His Airness owes it to himself to indulge in the fruits of his labor; so, he decided to kick off 2019 by purchasing an $80 million yacht and cruise to the islands of St. Barths. Living the life of Jordan includes kicking your feet up and sipping fresh margaritas, puffing on premium Cuban cigars, and sailing into the sunset with the company of beautiful women and best friends. It costs roughly $840,000 a week to man the ship and maintain his lavish lifestyle out at sea.

A few photos of the yacht were leaked following a tweet from MJs body guard Dwyane Bacon of Air Jordan swaying to “Wobble Baby” at the Hornets annual holiday party.

This yacht is a fully loaded luxurious sanctuary. The specs, features, and amenities on this boat out-class most apartment and condominium buildings.

Here’s a firsthand look at the G.O.A.T. SS and all its conveniences…

Michael Jordan’s Yacht: Everything You Want To Know

NBA superstar and arguably the greatest basketball player of all time Michael Jordan retired from the game years ago but still keeps busy doing all kinds of things, including sailing on his yacht . This is no toy, either, as his yacht qualifies as a superyacht and you’ll see why shortly.

Before we get too deep into this it’s worth noting that the yacht we’re covering here may not actually even belong to Michael “Air” Jordan. He chartered it several times and there is a rumor that he purchased it in 2019. But we don’t have 100% confirmation on that so it’s possible this is not Jordan’s yacht at all, just one he really likes. That aside, all of the details about the yacht are still accurate and you’ll see why, even if Jordan didn’t buy this one outright, there’s every reason to understand why he would have, and why he’s chartered it in the past.

What Did Michael Jordan Call His Yacht?

Michael Jordan’s superyacht is called Joy and was launched back in 2016. Of course, that’s just one of his yachts as he actually owns a smaller (but still impressive) sport fishing yacht that he named Catch-23. The name is a clever pun on the familiar saying “Catch-22” and also his jersey number 23 from when he played professional basketball. His fishing yacht cost a cool $8 million so you can imagine what the superyacht Joy must have set him back if he really is the owner. Or you can just read on to find out!

How Much Did Michael Jordan’s Yacht Cost?

Because this yacht is a remarkable, one of a kind vessel, the owner, if it is Jordan, was willing to pay to ensure he got the best of the best. Is it the most expensive yacht in the world? No, not even close. But at $80 million (some sources even say $90 million) it’s definitely no joke. Joy is not a superyacht most people would be able to afford by any means.

How Big is Michael Jordan’s Yacht?

According to most reports, Michael Jordan’s yacht clocks in at a very impressive 230 feet. That’s nowhere near the largest yacht in the world but it’s incredibly large nonetheless and more than twice the size of Shaquille O’Neal’s yacht or Tom Brady’s yacht . 

How Fast is Michal Jordan’s Yacht?

With a pair of 1,850-horsepower engines,  Joy has a cruising speed of 12 knots. At top speed it can reach 16 knots, making it on par with other yachts of this size in terms of speed. At the size it’s clearly not intended for racing or hitting high speeds.

What’s the Interior of Michael Jordan’s Yacht Like?

What’s the one feature you’d absolutely expect to find on the deck of the yacht owned by a basketball legend? Joy has what has been called a full sized basketball court for playing while cruising, so long as the motion of the ocean doesn’t make this too uneven. Guess you’ll have to be careful with those rebounds. To be fair, though, when you look at images and videos it only shows the one hoop so it really looks more like a half court than a full basketball court. Not that there’s a problem with that, it’s certainly more than most yachts have. 

In addition, the space is easily converted if guests are in the mood for different sports and you can play volleyball or badminton. Heck, you can even toss a football around, there’s enough room. If it seems like that might take up too much room, don’t worry. The entire yacht has five decks so there’s plenty of room for the rust of the luxury features someone like Michael Jordan might want included.

As you’d expect on a luxury yacht of this size there’s a large beach club at the aft of the vessel with a dive platform and everything you’d expect in your beach club area. However, when the sun goes down this space is easily converted into a club for parties and it’s decked out for just such an occasion. There are video walls, bean bag chairs and a number of video game consoles for having a good time. It also serves as a movie theatre for when you want to gather a group and watch a film. Obviously there’s a large dining room for meals as well.

Obviously, the designers included a fully equipped gym on his yacht as well but unlike some, this is a partially open air gym. That means you can take in views of the ocean and enjoy the fresh air during a workout. Of course, additional health amenities exist as well. There’s a spa, a masseuse, and more plus a crew of 19 to make sure it all runs smoothly. One of those crew members is the private chef as well who is said to have a Michelin star, and as you’d expect the food will be able to meet the luxury of the rest of the boat.

You can travel across the 5 decks either by the spiral staircase or a luxurious glass elevator. This can take you from the gym to quarters where you’ll find seven cabins to accommodate guests. With the VIP you have eight cabins total.

The master suite offers an impressive 270 degree view of the ocean and has a private terrace if you want to go out for a closer look. The owner’s deck is opulent in design and resembles the penthouse of a luxury hotel. It even has his and hers bathrooms so no one needs to fight over who has access to the rain showers. For more private getaways there’s a private office for business meetings and lounge area for dining that are separated from the rest of the vessel.

You’ll also find four double cabins on board plus one twin cabin and finally a VIP stateroom. In total six time NBA champion has room for 12 guests in addition to the crew. All of the rooms are designed and decorated in a slightly different style so that people who come aboard get a chance to pick a room that appeals to their own personality rather than having a generic room that is the same as everyone else’s.

Elsewhere on board you’ll find a full bar for entertaining as well as a glass-sided deck jacuzzi for relaxing. 

Throughout the yacht’s interior you’ll find ocean mosaics, granite finishes and a lot of other opulent decorative touches that give it the sense of being at a resort. 

When it comes to cutting loose and having a good time, the people who designed Joy didn’t skimp there, either. The boat has a number of water toys including jet skis and guests can wake board, water ski, kayak and go scuba diving or snorkeling as well. Several tenders can take you to and from shore or wherever else you may need to go.

If you want to slow it down but still have fun, there are tons of inflatables that can be taken out and even a giant waterslide. If things get out of hand and someone gets in trouble don’t worry, Joy even has a rescue boat.

Is Michael Jordan’s Yacht Kept at a Caribbean Island?

Much of the reason people believe that Jordan owns Joy is because he was spotted there at the Caribbean island of St. Barts with the yacht back in 2019. Most of the pics you will find online that show Jordan on the yacht are from this time period and this is where speculation that he purchased the yacht came from. 

The Bottom Line

Joy is a luxury superyacht that costs as much as $80 or even $90 million. There’s a rumor that Michael Jordan is the owner of the yacht, and as the first billionaire athlete it’s not hard to believe, but it’s worth noting you can head to a number of yacht charter sites right now and charter this specific yacht for $700,000 per week. Would Michael Jordan let his private yacht be rented out for charters? You can decide that for yourself. Many other sites on the internet are convinced Jordan owns it but we’re not so sure just yet.

Regardless of who owns it, this massive 230 foot vessel has a basketball court on deck that can be converted for other sports or just whatever activities you feel like. There is a huge selection of water toys, space for parties, room for 12 guests, a jacuzzi, a swimming pool, a cinema and a master suite with an incredible 270 degree view of the ocean.

With a top speed of 16 knots and all the features you’d expect from a luxury hotel provided by a staff of 19, whether or not this is owned by Michael Jordan or just enjoyed by the Bulls legend, it’s easy to see why it’s such a highly prized vessel.

The $80 million Michael Jordan's yacht is one of the most expensive single purchases he has ever made. Its huge price tag has made people interested in knowing about its amenities and more.

Basketball superstar and legend Michael Jordan has documented his love for the sea/ocean, so it's no surprise he owns an $80 million yacht. The expensive 230-foot luxury boat is super modern and spacious and has all the essential amenities.

Michael Jordan’s Yacht Life. Inside the NBA Great’s Multimillion-Dollar Fleet of Yachts

Michael Jordan is enjoying smooth sailing since agreeing to sell his stake in the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets for a reported $3 billion. The former NBA champ has at least three multimillion-dollar yachts — an $80 million yacht called Joy, another yacht called Mr. Terrible worth $21 million, and one named Catch-23.

Inside ‘Joy’

Joy measures 230 feet (70 meters) in length. Bannenberg & Rowell Design created Joy, which has a top speed of roughly 16 knots and a cruising speed of about 12 knots.

The super yacht, launched in 2016 and purchased by Jordan in 2019, has a total of five decks, each built of teak wood. The owner’s pavilion, which gives a 270-degree view of the ocean and features a chic owner’s lounge for enjoying a luxuriant yet private moment, is one of this opulent ship’s key attractions. The master suite is exquisite, and the bedrooms have mosaic skylights that overlook the ocean. Additionally, there is a stunning owner’s office.

The yacht can accommodate a crew of 19 and roughly 12 passengers. The eight lavish cabins, which are almost as opulent as the master suites, are available for guests to stay in. All of the bathrooms include granite finishes and rainfall showers. To provide visitors with the most memorable experience possible, there are spa rooms equipped with an indoor jacuzzi and sauna. A VIP suite and twin rooms are lavishly provided for on the yacht.

And, of course, it has a gym and an indoor basketball court.

To adapt to shifting weather conditions, the ship is built with an aluminum superstructure and glass aluminum insulation.

Among the trips Jordon has taken on the yacht was with some of his closest friends to the Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy.

Inside ‘Mr. Terrible’

Although it is four times smaller than Joy, Mr. Terrible is also one of the most luxurious ships now cruising the seas, and by most measures, its overall length of 154 feet is sufficient to deem it a super yacht. 

Mega yachts are essentially private yachts that are 24 meters or larger in length and are so big that a professional crew is necessary to manage them. 

Mr. Terrible has an indoor bar, and additionally, there is a space for dining outside as well as a dining area within with a real chandelier. On top of that, Mr. Terrible has a design that was influenced by both Art Deco and tropical themes, as evidenced by the use of tropical wood in its walls and on a staircase made of Bubinga, a tropical African hardwood.

It is unclear when Jordan purchased Mr. Terrible.

Inside Catch-23

Jordan also owns a fishing yacht called Catch-23; his Chicago Bulls playing number was 23. The yacht cost $8 million .

Viking Yachts produced the Catch 23 luxury motor boat in 2018.

The sport boat has a top speed of 40 knots and a range of more than 500 nautical miles. This magnificent yacht is outfitted with cutting-edge technology and facilities to provide a pleasant and entertaining experience for everybody aboard. The 80-foot yacht’s interior is built for luxury and comfort, with high-end finishes, comfy furniture, and cutting-edge entertainment systems. The boat can easily accommodate up to eight people and a crew of two. In 2020, Catch 23 was used to compete in the Big Rock Fishing Tournament, where Jordan traveled to Morehead City, North Carolina. Jordan competed in the nonprofit event to raise money for local charities.

Inside M’Brace

It is rumored that Jordan also owns a yacht called M’Brace, which is worth $115 million. According to Majorca Daily Bulletin, the yacht was sold in December 2022, allegedly to the basketball legend. The yacht can accommodate 12 guests and a crew of 24.

A look at Michael Jordan's luxurious flying life.

• Michael Jordan, one of the greatest basketball players, owns a Gulfstream G550 private jet worth $61.5 million.
• The Gulfstream G550 is a luxurious, long-range business jet known for its exceptional quality and comfort.
• Other successful athletes and billionaires, like Cristiano Ronaldo and Tiger Woods, also own Gulfstream jets.

It's not a secret that being a major sports player can earn you a lot of money, but being one of the greatest ever to do it can take you to another level. Over the years, sporting personalities and successful business executives have shown how wealthy they are by acquiring their own private jets .

Arguably one of the greatest ever basketball players, eclipsing the likes of Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan was the first-ever sports billionaire. First attracting attention in 1982, when he was a part of the University of North Carolina national championship basketball team, Jordan went on to win six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls.

A living legend for his unrivaled skills in the 1990s, Jordan now lives a life of luxury while in retirement. Thanks to massive sponsorship deals with leading American brands such as Nike, Jordan has an estimated net worth of around $2 billion. While he has a lot of investments in various industries, the basketball legend spent a great deal of money to purchase a Gulfstream G550.

Flying in style for over five years

Michael Jordan has been flying with his private jet for about seven years. He acquired the Gulfstream G550 on August 17, 2016, to facilitate worldwide travel and make his personal flying life easier. Today, in addition to owning multiple businesses, Jordan has mansions and several luxury cars spread around the United States.

At the time of purchase, the private aircraft, registration N236MJ, was worth a whopping $61.5 million. While aircraft registration numbers are not usually intriguing, the one on Jordan's plane is undoubtedly one to talk about as it has a special meaning. The N23 refers to his jersey number during his playing career. The number six references how many NBA national championship rings he won, and, as you may have guessed, MJ is for his initials.

When Jordan first took delivery of the plane, he had it repainted in North Carolina Tar Heels basketball team powder blue and white. However, it now features a unique grey, white, and black elephant print, as seen on Air Jordan sneakers. The tail section is completed with the iconic Jumpman logo, a silhouette of the retired NBA legend.

Jordan also made significant changes to the interior of the aircraft. It now features premium leather recliner seats, a bar and cigar station, a fine dining area, entertainment systems, a comfortable bedroom, and a private bathroom. Jordan has had several photographs snapped of him puffing a cigar over the decades, especially after a big win. So, it's only natural he'd have a station for them on his het.

The basketball star also sourced the best furniture for his jet. According to TheRichest , the couch zone can transform into a bar configuration at the touch of a button!

According to Plane Logger , this unit was registered with Kraft Foods as N550KF in June 2006. The aircraft then joined Redbird Service's holdings in March 2013, where it received registration N550MZ.

Gulfstream G550

The business aircraft is also modified to allow up to 12 hours of continuous flying without refueling. The initial long-range cruise altitude is between 40,000 (12,192 m) and 41,000 ft (12,496 m), while the hourly flight costs between $700 and $1,000. It rivals other luxury jets like the Bombardier Global 6000 and the Dassault Falcon 7X.

The G550 has a two-crew cockpit, while the cabin seats about 14 to 19 passengers. The cabin is 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) tall, 7 ft 4 in (2.24 m) wide, and 43 ft 11 in (13.39 m) long. However, given the cabin height, walking in the aircraft may be difficult for Mr Jordan, who stands at a staggering 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m).

It rivals other luxury jets like the Bombardier Global 6000 and the Dassault Falcon 7X.

The greatest in the game

Harnessing your full potential to become the greatest in any discipline requires a lot of handwork, focus, and determination. This hard work eventually pays off, as we have seen with Michael Jordan and other professionals. Outside of basketball, many other professionals have gone on to own private jets, highlighting the extent of their wealth.

Air Jordan: A Peek Inside Michael Jordan's $61 Million Private Jet

Like many of his other fancy and expensive rides, Michael Jordan has dropped $61 million on a private jet too.

Quick Links

From a distance, inside the jet, where’s jordan traveling today.

He's arguably the most famous NBA player of all time and the first billionaire athlete in the world. With more income coming in retirement than ever on the basketball court, Michael Jordan has the luxury of purchasing just about anything he wants.

With a net worth of $2.2 billion, Jordan shattered the concept of endorsement deals in 1984 when Nike agreed to pay him $500,000 per year for five years, but it didn't end there. According to Celebrity Net Worth , Jordan worked with Nike, Gatorade, Wheaties, McDonald's, Coca-Cola, and many other top brand names. He owns several luxurious mansions in Jupiter, FL, Charlotte, NC, Chicago, IL, and Salt Lake City, UT.

The NBA superstar has a $21 million yacht called 'Mr. Terrible', an $80 million yacht called 'Joy' and yet another $80 million private yachts called 'Catch 23'. With a large luxury car collection, multiple real estate investments, and of course, a private jet, Jordan seems to have it all.

The private jet cost the famous ballplayer $62 million, but after undergoing renovations over the years, the price of the plane is probably much higher and is distinctly Jordan – allowing fans to spot it from miles away.

Check out the interior and exterior of Michael Jordan's private plane.

Jordan's Gulfstream G-IV originally sported a powder blue and white wrap in honor of his alma mater, The University of North Carolina, but in 2017, he re-designed the private jet with a grey, white and black elephant print, presumably after his Jordan Brand shoes according to Private Jet Clubs .

If you weren't sure from the print design, the tag number on the plane's engine says N236MJ; his jersey (23), the number of titles he's won (6), and his initials (MJ). On the wing, you can spot the silhouette of a basketball player dunking, similar to the official logo of the NBA.

The private plane has high-caliber Rolls-Royce engines and, according to Article Crib , has a payload permit to go long distances with low fuel consumption. With Jordan's renovations to the jet, it's no longer ordinary and considered one of the top luxury jets due to changes made. In fact, the jet can travel distances of up to 12 hours without stopping.

Not a lot is known about the interior of Jordan's private plane; however, when you're in the air for hours at a time, he certainly wants to travel in style with the best amenities money can buy.

Traveling in top-of-the-line luxury, Jordan's jet has space for 16 people to travel onboard, not including the two required pilots. According to YouTube , the custom airplane includes white leather recliner seating, a dining area for first-class meals, and large windows near every seat. He regularly travels from his home in Florida to the Bahamas according to flight records and isn't shy about swinging by and picking up friends like Tiger Woods , Dennis Rodman, and Scottie Pippen.

In typical Jordan style, the jet contains a bar with the best drinks available. In fact, the couch seating area transforms with a push of a button into the bar furniture needed to serve guests. For those long flights and with time to relax, there's certain to be a stash of cigars – Jordan's favorite. According to ABC News , the luxurious private bedroom includes a large bed, stylish furniture, and a large bathroom.

Jordan made headlines with the Netflix documentary series, The Last Dance , which focuses on his time with the Chicago Bulls, but today, Jordan lives in Jupiter, FL, with his wife, Yvette Prieto, and their two daughters, Victoria and Ysabel Jordan. He's the owner of the Charlotte Hornet's basketball team and frequently travels to North Carolina on business.

Jordan travels the world in style, including former NBA players, business partners, family, and friends on the regular trips. His love for golf, basketball, and baseball has prompted Jordan to seek sports venues across the United States and beyond, often picking up a group of friends and jetting off to a new golf course across the country.

When vacationing with his wife and kids, Jordan often uses his private jet to travel to the ocean and board one of the several ultra-luxury yachts he owns and, more often than not, find themselves touring local island destinations and warm, sunny beaches.

With a private jet like the N236MJ, Jordan's ability to do whatever he wants, whenever is convenient, makes those business meetings, vacation destinations, and high-profile NBA events that much more accessible.
