The impressive vessel features a formal dining salon, disco, teak decks, jacuzzi, sauna, gym along with a 25-foot Chris Craft boat and Yamaha. The yacht can accommodate 12 guests in its six staterooms and have a 17 member crew on board.
Till it finds a suitable buyer, the ship will be available on rent at 600,000 per week for winter Caribbean cruises and $789,000 per week for summer vacations to the Mediterranean region. While the move to sell of his yacht does make us wonder if he’s that cash strung after buying an NFL team, Khan denies the news.
