Built by German company Schichau Seebeckwerft back in 1970, the Arctic P can cover a maximum distance of 18,000 nautical miles at 20 knots speed. The vessel measures 287 feet and can comfortably accommodate 12 guests, a total of 25 people including crew members. Rumoured to be Packer’s most prized possession, the superyacht was inherited by the business tycoon from his father Kerry Packer.

Refitted in 2014, the superyacht boasts of a new super-steel structure which makes the yacht strong enough to dribble through ice floes in the southern ocean. With white exteriors and an electric blue hull, the superyacht looks visually stunning, and stands out amidst the other white-dyed vessels.

The vessel features a stunning master suite with six separate accommodations spread over two levels on the deck. Designed by renowned interior decorator duo C. Kidston and A. Sassoon, the handcrafted furniture on the superyacht is furbished in rich upholstery. The wooden floors are adorned with fine rugs, while the floor-to-ceiling glass doors offer guests an unparalleled view of the ocean.

While many superyachts own motor boats and sea bikes, the Arctic P is well-equipped to hold a private helicopter as it has a helipad on its deck. 

Apart from stunning suites and the private helipad, the yacht also features an observation tower, amphitheatre, Jacuzzi and swimming pool. In fact, Packer is known to have hosted many celebrity parties on this yacht.

Talking of celebrities, this yacht has also hosted personalities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Miranda Kerr, Kelly Rohrbach, Alan Jones and more.

Planning a party? Kerry Packer’s famous $100million ice-breaking luxury yacht Arctic P is now available for hire by the public

• Yacht owned by late tycoon is available to hire
• The $100million boat is moored in France
• Now owned by his daughter, Gretel

Australian media tycoon Kerry Packer's modified $100million icebreaker yacht, the Arctic P, will be hired out to the ultra-rich for this European summer. 

Packer, who was Australia's richest man at the time of his death in late 2005, commissioned the specialised German-built yacht in 1969 and passed it down to his son, James.

However, Packer's daughter Gretel bought it from James in 2017 after the billionaire decided he wanted to upgrade to a $200million superyacht, the  Daily Telegraph reports.

It was said the Arctic P held a lot of sentimental value to Gretel but it seems the boat's $10million annual maintenance, crew and mooring bill has seen her decide to rent it out.

The boat has been put up for hire on luxury rental website CharterWorld and is currently moored in Antibes, France.

Arctic P is a whopping 88m long and can carry 12 passengers as well as a 25-strong crew.

The 1,444-tonne yacht's hefty build was specially designed to help Kerry Packer's sea-sickness, which did not affect his boating-mad father Sir Frank or his son James.

The Arctic P is actually designed to carry heavy cargo through the icy seas of Antarctica, resulting in less roll on the deck.

In the 1990s Packer told a shipyard crew in Malta to rig the unique yacht for maximum satellite TV coverage.

It was refitted again in 2008 in the years after Packer's death. 

The Arctic P can reach a maximum speed of 22 knots thanks to two Deutz-MWM diesel engines and features a swimming pool.

Sources told the Telegraph last week that Gretel renting out the boat could be a sign she's looking to sell and downsize in the future.

James Packer’s superyacht listed for eye-watering price of $283m

The reclusive billionaire has listed the superyacht, which was specially built for him, and features a list of luxury features including a nightclub.

Australian billionaire James Packer has listed his Italian-built superyacht for sale for a whopping $283 million.

The casino mogul bought the yacht in 2019, which boasts a cinema, nightclub, swimming pool and barber’s salon, and was originally purchased for around $200 million.

The yacht which is named IJE, believed to be after his three children Indigo, Jackson and Emmanuelle, has been listed on the site of international superyacht broker Burgess Yachts.

It states that it was “built as the ultimate world-cruising family yacht for a very experienced owner” and can fit 22 guests in 11 cabins, which includes a private owner’s deck.

Inside there’s a relaxed beach house-style interior by Benetti with IJE the longest yacht ever created by the company, while its also the flagship of their custom fleet.

The 108m yacht is described as having a “timeless sculptural exterior” and includes an elevator and three functioning levels including a sun lounge bridge deck with a firepit and open air dining with a lounge and bar on the main deck.

There’s also a great array of toys and watercraft that come with the yacht too, such as two 12m tenders, boats attached to the yacht.

The broker’s website described the 54-year-old’s yacht as offering “true world cruising credentials” with its Rolls Royce dynamic positioning system

His purchase of IJE followed after he gifted his 288-foot Artic P yacht to his sister Gretel in 2017, while he previously owned the 170-foot Amels Seahorse that was sold in 2015.

Mr Packer’s current net worth is estimated to be around $US3 billion ($A4 billion), according to Forbes.

Around eight months ago, Mr Packer who owns Crown Resorts, gave video evidence to the NSW independent Liquor and Gaming inquiry into money laundering in his casinos.

It was examining evidence that the gambling giant facilitated money laundering by Asian high-roller “junket” tours at its Perth and Melbourne venues.

A probe into Crown Resorts recommended back in February that the embattled gaming giant have its Sydney casino licence revoked, in a crippling blow to its $2.2bn Barangaroo project.

Billionaire's superyacht refit big boost for Auckland

Share this article

Australian billionaire James Packer has brought his 87.5-metre superyacht Arctic P to Auckland for a refit that could mean upwards of $10 million for the local economy.

The giant vessel - the 50th largest yacht in the world - is berthed at Wynyard Quarter where it is expected to stay for at least six months.

The arrival of Packer's yacht is a blessing for the Auckland marine industry after losing the $50 million refit of billionaire Graeme Hart's superyacht to Whangarei.

The Packer vessel, which has hosted celebrities such as Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in the past, has been hanging about Auckland ports since October.

Industry insiders confirmed this week it had been moved to Wynyard Quarter for a refit, its first since 2008.

Packer this week opened up in an emotional television interview about the last words from his father, Australian media mogul Kerry Packer, from who he inherited the yacht upon his death in 2005.

Details of the work to the vessel have been kept confidential but research on superyacht refits suggests Arctic P will result in a multimillion-dollar benefit for Auckland.

It is likely to be a smaller project than the refit of the 77-metre yacht Weta - known as U77 - owned by Hart, New Zealand's richest man.

Weta was towed to Port Nikau in Northland last week after local firm Culham Engineering was believed to have offered a better deal for what is reportedly the largest yacht refit the country has seen.

Hart's superyacht had been in Auckland for more than a year and those in the marine industry are keeping mum on the reasons behind his decision to have it finished in Whangarei, where the port has been dredged to accommodate the large vessel.

Whangarei councillor Brian McLachlan, who praised Culham Engineering for luring the Weta refit, said he understood Hart's decision to be based on where he could get the most cost-effective work.

Drury-based Nautical Contracting had been working on the Weta while it was in Auckland and last reported in February last year that its work was continuing.

The company's website said "2011 was a tough year in the global superyacht industry and for the boatbuilding scene in New Zealand. But we are pleased to say there are encouraging signs for the year ahead".

Nautical Contracting managers would not comment on the Weta's move north this week.

Refurbishing superyachts was a lucrative industry for Auckland, NZ Marine Industry Association executive director Peter Busfield said.

Research by NZ Marine has found a typical refit for a 40m yacht resulted in $5m spent in the industry and another $1m spent on tourism in the city hosting the owners, representatives, guests and crew.

Auckland has about a 90 per cent share of the superyacht refit business in New Zealand, and the cost of a refit can vary from $1m up to $30m.

Mr Busfield said there were efforts to double the number of superyacht refits being done in New Zealand over the next three years.

"Only cities that have a highly skilled marine industry workforce and special marine facilities such as we have in Auckland can hope to attract this international business," Mr Busfield said.

"Of the 7000 superyachts internationally we believe that 1000 of these are wishing for, or are due for, a refit.

"New Zealand attracts approximately 25 refits per year and with [New Zealand Trade and Enterprise] assistance we have a strategy ... to entice more than double this number over the next three years."

Mr Busfield said superyachts were normally attracted to New Zealand as a cruising destination and then later becoming aware of the world-class workmanship the local marine industry provides.

Who is James Packer?

Wealth: US$6 billion ($7.17b) Age: 45 Source of wealth: Gaming Lives: Sydney, Australia Marital Status: Married with three children

The son of the late media mogul Kerry Packer, James inherited the business and shifted investments to focus on the gambling industry, in particular casinos worldwide. Last year his fortune grew by US$1.5b ($1.79b) as he sold off his last major stake in media and his casino group, Crown, expanded.

Producer who accused Sean 'Diddy' Combs adds Cuba Gooding Jr. to sexual assault, harassment lawsuit

A music producer who filed a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs last month has now accused actor Cuba Gooding Jr. of sexually harassing and assaulting him, an amended federal complaint filed Monday night shows.

The amended civil complaint was filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan hours after federal officials searched Combs’ homes . Combs is a subject of a federal investigation, and several people have been interviewed by federal officials in Manhattan in relation to allegations involving sex trafficking, assault, illegal narcotics and firearms, a source familiar with the matter told NBC News.

Representatives for Combs, 54, did not immediately respond to NBC News’ request for comment Monday.

The producer, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, filed his original lawsuit against Combs and others in February, alleging that Combs forced him to procure sex workers and pressured him to engage in unwelcomed sex acts with them.

The amended suit alleges that Gooding groped Jones while on Combs’ yacht.

An attorney and representatives for Gooding did not immediately respond to requests for comment late Monday.

Gooding “began touching, groping, and fondling Mr. Jones’ legs, his upper inner thighs near his groin, the small of his back near his buttocks, and his shoulders,” Jones’ the suit states.

Jones “was extremely uncomfortable and proceeded to lean away from Mr. Gooding Jr.,” the lawsuit says. “He rejected his advances and Mr. Gooding Jr. did not stop until Mr. Jones forcibly pushed him away.”

Attorneys for Jones said in the lawsuit that the incident happened on a yacht rented by Combs in the U.S. Virgin Islands in January 2023. It accused Gooding of sexual assault and misconduct.

Gooding has not been charged with any crime.

In a different case, Gooding pleaded guilty in 2022 to a misdemeanor charge that he forcibly kissed a worker at a New York nightclub in 2018.

He completed alcohol and behavior modification counseling, was then allowed to withdraw that plea and then pleaded guilty to a lesser harassment violation, resolving the case with no jail time .

On Monday, federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations executed search warrants at properties belonging to Combs in Los Angeles and Miami, sources told NBC News.

There has been no information connecting Gooding to any of the searches, and it is not clear what the searches entailed.

Combs has been accused of misconduct in civil cases filed by four women. One was quickly settled and three are pending . Combs has denied the allegations in those lawsuits.

“Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth,” he said in a December statement.

Jones said in the lawsuit that he worked on Combs’ latest album, “The Love Album: Off the Grid.” The album was released in September 2023 and was nominated for a Grammy.

The suit alleges , in part, that Motown Records, and others, benefited from his work on the album, but that he was not fully compensated.

Monday’s amended complaint filed by attorneys for Jones contains a declaration by former Motown Records CEO Ethiopia Habtemariam who it appears to show her willing to testify about the contract involving “The Love Album.”

A spokesperson for Universal Music Group, which owns Motown Records, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The lawsuit seeks damages, including punitive damages, but does not specify an amount, seeking amounts to be determined at trial.

Diana Dasrath is entertainment producer and senior reporter for NBC News covering all platforms.

Phil Helsel is a reporter for NBC News.

David and Victoria Beckham get cozy heading to new $20M yacht with family in Miami

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

David Beckham and Victoria Beckham enjoyed a glamorous family outing Wednesday aboard a multimillion-dollar mega-yacht in Miami.

The couple — who has a reported combined net worth of $514 million — was photographed riding a dinghy with their four kids , sons Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, and Cruz, 19, and daughter Harper, 12, as well as their daughter-in-law, Nicola Peltz.

They were all dressed casually, with David, 48, and Victoria, 49, strategically shielding themselves from the hot sun under stylish hats as they made their way onto the larger boat.

The massive silver vessel — which is a Riva 130 Bellissima Yacht — measures close to 40 meters and 130 feet, and was built at the company’s La Spezia shipyard in Italy.

It accommodates up to 10 guests in five suites, which is plenty of room for the entire Beckham clan.

Officina Italiana Design worked on the interior, and its features include a beach club, WiFi and air conditioning.

We’re told David and Beckham own the lavish boat which boasts a $20 million price tag and is personalized with the word “Seven” — Harper’s middle name — written across it. The pair previously had a smaller Riva Argo 90 , which cost $6.5 million.

The Beckhams have been spending the majority of their time in Miami since February 2014 when David was offered an opportunity to take part in the Magic City’s MLS team, Inter Miami.

The retired soccer star has since brought legend Lionel Messi on board his team, which further incentivized stars like Kim Kardashian and LeBron James to make it out to games .

Aside from business, David makes sure to enjoy plenty of quality time with Victoria all over Miami.

Page Six exclusively reported last July that the former Manchester United player and the Spice Girls member dropped more than $2,000 on a date night at the luxe LPM Restaurant and Bar in Brickell.

We were told at the time that the duo and their guests were very gracious toward the waitstaff.

When the Beckhams are not in South Florida, they spend a lot of time in their native UK.

The power couple owns a $40 million Victorian townhouse in London that is located in the ultra-luxurious Holland Park area of Kensington — also known as “Millionaire’s Row.”

The lavish property reportedly features six bedrooms, an indoor pool, a wine cellar, a fashion runway, a gym and an at-home nail salon.

However, it appears David has grown quite fond of his new home in Miami.

He said during an event in 2018, “I could have gone to another city, but this was always my city. It’s always where I wanted to have our team.”
