Have you been thinking about cruising in the deep blue sea to temporarily escape from the city’s noisy and fast-phased ambiance? Fortunately, the music producer David Geffen can do that whenever he gets tired listening to demos and decides to listen to the waves instead.
David Geffen’s Love for Yachts
The outstanding American businessman and philanthropist David Geffen owns not only one but two large yachts. He currently possesses the 115 meter extravagant motor cruiser; Pelorus. It reportedly costs more than $200 million. The Pelorus is on the listing of the most spacious sailing boats in the world.
Geffen also owns the famous super-yacht: Rising Sun. He first fell in love with the cruiser in 2014 when he amassed fifty percent of the shares in the Rising Sun. He then took over the proprietorship of the Rising Sun from the CEO of Oracle Corporation Larry Ellison in 2010.
The blueprint of the Rising Sun was from the brain of Jon Bannenberg and assembled by the German naval vessel building company Lurssen.
The Rising Sun is Famous Personalities’ Favorite Cruiser
Big time personalities like Oprah habitually have visited the Rising Sun and consider it as one of her favorite breathing spaces.
Another regular visitor of the Rising Sun is the Princess of York, Beatrice. The royalty spent some of her luxury time in the exquisite vessel for some peace and quiet. As enormous as it can be, The Rising Sun is definitely a vessel fit for a princess.
Fancy Features
The Rising Sun has over 8,800 square meters allotted space for the living area and 3,300 square meters sight-seeing spot deck space. The deck is designed with impressive teak coating. Onyx whirlpool baths and counter-tops give the yacht a lavish ambiance.
The luxury vessel can accommodate up to 16 vacationers. The yacht is full-packed with 43 crew attendants who make sure all of the guests’ needs are being taken care of. That might be one of the reasons why the Rising Sun is frequented by many famous personalities.
The super-yacht can cruise with a speed of up to 28 knots. The structure of the yacht is well laminated with aluminum and has emboldened frame. The hawseholes of the ship features electroplated chromium.
The Rising Sun is well-known for its luxurious attributes. It offers an amphitheater, a spacious wine cellar, and a cozy sauna and spa. It also has a basketball court located on the main deck which also serves as a landing area for helicopters. Lastly, it has a wide plasma cinema screen if you are in a mood for film viewing.
