LunaSea Yacht : An Insider’s Guide

Ian Fortey

LunaSea Yacht was built in 2017 with naval architecture by the Feadship shipyard. Both the interior and exterior design was handled by Redman Whiteley Dixon. The hull is made of steel, while the superstructure is made of aluminum. The vessel also features teak-laid decks. The yacht is known for having one of the most extensive toy selections for a yacht of its size and the eye-catching pool on deck, which we’ll discuss in more detail later. She’s registered in the Cayman Islands.

Who Owns the LunaSea Yacht?

yacht lunasea owner

The LunaSea is owned by Yahn Bernier, the millionaire developer and director at Valve Corporation. Valve is a video game developer, and the company is the source of most of Bernier’s $500 million fortune. 

The yacht was initially built for John Symond, an Australian businessman who founded Aussie Home Loans financial company. Under his ownership, the vessel was known as Hasna. However, Symonds put the yacht up for sale in 2019, and in 2020 Bernier bought it and renamed it LunaSea, a play, of course, on the word lunacy.

How Big is the Yacht LunaSea?

yacht lunasea owner

LunaSea is a substantial yacht with an impressive 239′ 6″ length. Her beam is just over 39 feet and has a gross tonnage of 1,577 GT. While she’s not the largest yacht in the world by a good stretch, she qualifies as what many people would call a superyacht.

How Much Did the LunaSea Cost?

Though the purchase price for the LunaSea is hard to nail down in terms of when John Symond first purchased it, he sold it to Yahn Bernier in 2020 for about 99 million Euros. That works out to around 110 million American dollars. There are many more expensive yachts, like the Azzam or Jeff Bezos’ yacht, but this is still quite pricey.

Can You Charter the LunaSea?

yacht lunasea owner

The LunaSea is available for charter. Large luxury yachts can often charter for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, several countries offer tax breaks for yachts if registered as charter yachts, which is appealing to owners. The other reason is that, as a yacht owner, you can make a lot of your yearly operating costs by chartering.

The LunaSea costs about $800,000 per week plus expenses to charter up to around $875,000 in the high season. Average yacht costs for a vessel of this size can run up to $4 million yearly or more for fuel, crew salaries, etc. So a few charter weeks per year and the yacht can be a net gain for the owner.

How Fast is the LunaSea and What Engines Does it Use?

yacht lunasea owner

The LunaSea runs on twin 1,850 hp MTU 12V4000 M53 engines. That provides a cruising speed of 14 knots and a maximum speed of 16 knots. The vessel has a range of up to 5,500 nautical miles at 12 knots, thanks to the 167,110-liter fuel tanks.

What’s the Interior of the LunaSea Yacht Like?

yacht lunasea owner

The superyacht LunaSea has room on board for 12 guests in 7 suites. This includes the master suite, which is located on the main deck. Beyond that, there is one VIP cabin, two double cabins, and two twin cabins for guests. 

The interior design has been described as “beach-chic” and allows for an easy transition from formal gatherings to family trips to even a party atmosphere. The overall color scheme and aesthetic are laid back with soft, neutral tones and gold accents. 

The full beam master suite includes several features, including its study, lounge, and dressing room, as well as his and her bathroom set up. However, the list of overall amenities makes the LunaSea stand out as a real luxury experience.

Features and Amenities of the Motor Yacht Lunasea

The Bottom Line

Police sink ‘east bay pirates’ after seafaring bandits terrorize houseboats, yachts.

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

Suspected seafaring bandits terrorizing San Francisco Bay residents are now landlocked in jail cells.

Three suspected maritime burglars accused of breaking into a business on Embarcadero, San Francisco’s iconic east-facing waterfront, were arrested in the Oakland-Alameda Estuary on March 28, Oakland police said.

It’s a major step forward for residents living in houseboats and yachts on the 800-foot-wide waterway, which endured almost a year of theft and physical confrontations with the so-called “East Bay Pirates.” 

Starting last summer, vagrants – believed to be from Oakland’s homeless encampments – used small boats to raid the large ships and steal valuables. Homeowners fought back and chased would-be thieves across San Francisco Bay.

The suspects, who weren’t named, allegedly broke into a business on March 13. They were spotted on surveillance video in the estuary.

Oakland police arrest alleged burglars as part of an ongoing crackdown on seafaring bandits in the Oakland-Alameda Estuary.

Law enforcement executed search warrants on the small boats and found the stolen property, according to Oakland police, which sent the case to the Alameda County District Attorney for charges.

The DA’s office didn’t immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s follow-up questions. 

The Oakland-Alameda Estuary separates the two cities and includes multiple marinas with about 3,000 boat slips, where a community lives on houseboats and yachts.

Suspected pirates use a small boat to board large ships and yachts in Oakland Harbor.

Last summer and fall, maritime burglars used small, stolen, or discarded boats to ransack large vessels and steal anything they could get their hands on. 

Then they would either sink the ships or dump whatever was left of the boats miles away in Oakland Harbor or along its shorelines.

Several residents in the area shared personal anecdotes about the dire situation in several municipal meetings last year, including the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission’s (BCDC) enforcement meeting.

This image shows items stolen by pirates in the Oakland-Alameda Estuary.

“The open shoreline of the (Oakland-Alameda) estuary is littered with sunken wrecks and derelict, end-of-life vessels, and crime has risen to truly intolerable levels,” former harbormaster Brock de Lappe said during an October BCDC meeting. 

“Multiple vessels have been stolen and ransacked. Victims have had to resort to personally confronting the criminals to recover their property without the benefit of police support. Is this an appropriate activity for a 79-year-old senior?”

One woman said she rescued a man whose sailboat drifted into the bay without a motor or any way to get back to shore after one of the “pirates” cut his boat line during an argument.

Residents in the area shared personal stories about the situation in several municipal meetings last year.

Other residents told Fox News Digital they chased would-be thieves across the bay, and they shared videos of the chase and surveillance footage. 

Dan Hill, who was one of the leaders in the area to bring the issue to the forefront, was one of dozens or more pounding the tables at municipal meetings, writing letters, and calling officials to address the problem. 

Each “attack” and theft can cost the owner thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, Hill told Fox News Digital in a previous interview.

Over the weekend, he said the situation appeared to have been “cleaned up pretty good” and praised the arrests. 

For months, jurisdiction question marks and eroding law enforcement staffing levels complicated the issue, but the Oakland and Alameda police departments worked together and teamed up with the Coast Guard, which has a base in the estuary.

Alameda Police Chief Nishant Joshi called it a “regional approach” to protect the waterway during an October 2023 interview with Fox News Digital . 

“In the waterways, it’s very difficult to draw a line,” Joshi said at the time. “There are no roadways or fence lines, so we all have a shared interest, much like crime as a whole, to deal with this as a regional approach.”

Joshi’s comments were echoed by the Coast Guard spokesperson, who said, “It’s a federal and state problem, and we’re all working to protect the best interests of everyone in the estuary.”

As for this particular case involving the suspected business burglars, Oakland police said the case and ongoing thefts in and around the Oakland estuary are still under investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Oakland Police Department’s burglary unit at 510-238-3951.

The financial magazine’s annual survey of the world’s billionaires lists Khan as the 162 nd richest person in the world with a net worth of $12.2 billion, a combination of revenue from owning the Jaguars, the Fulham soccer team in England, co-owning AEW Wrestling with his son Tony and the original source of his wealth, Flex-n-Gate, an auto parts supplier he purchased in 1980 and the developed the world’s first one-piece bumper.

Flex-n-Gate has added five plants and more than 1,000 employees worldwide, according to Forbes, for a total of 76 facilities and more than 27,000 workers.

Did Jaguars owner Shad Khan get richer in one year?

Khan’s net worth is a bump of $100 million from Forbes’ survey in April, 2023, but remained the same as its October, 2023 Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans. With an influx of new billionaires (141, according to Forbes, which includes singer Taylor Swift and former NBA star Magic Johnson), Khan’s rank dropped from the 144 th -richest person in 2023. 

Khan’s net worth shot up more than 50 percent last year from 2022 ($7.6 billion). His net worth in 2014, two years after he purchased the Jaguars for $770 million from Wayne Weaver, was $4.1 billion. 

Since Khan purchased the team, the Jaguars valuation has increased to $4 billion last year.

Khan is the fifth-richest NFL owner on the 2024 Forbes list, trailing Rob Walton (Denver Broncos, $77.4 billion), David Tepper (Carlina Panthers, $20.6 billion), Stan Kroenke (L.A. Rams, $16.2 billion) and Jerry Jones (Dallas Cowboys, 13.8 billion). Khan is the second-richest owner of an AFC team and leads the AFC South. 

The wealthiest professional sports owner in America is Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer ($121 billion), who owns the L.A. Clippers in the NBA. 

Shad Khan sold his yacht Kismet last fall

Khan’s bottom line also apparently got no bump for his bottom line by selling his 312-foot yacht Kismet to former Google executive Eric Schmidt for a reported $160 million, a discount of $60 million from Khan’s initial asking price. 

Khan is in negotiations with the city of Jacksonville on a stadium deal and lease extension estimated to cost $1.4 billion. City officials hope to present a framework agreement for a deal in May and negotiations in part on how the city and the team would split the cost. 

Who is the world's richest person?

According to Forbes, it's the Bernard Arnault family, which has 75 cosmetic and fashion brands such as Louis Vuitton, Sephora, Tiffany and Christian Dior. The family is worth $233 billion, easily topping Elon Musk ($195 billion).

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos ($194 billion) is close behind in third and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg ($177 billion) is fourth. Oracol co-founder Larry Ellison ($141 billion) is fifth.
