Malaysia has sold the Equanimity — the superyacht involved in the 1MDB scandal — for $126 million, according to a report from The Guardian .
The yacht can fit up to 22 passengers, has a helipad, and boasts a variety of wellness amenities.
It gained some notoriety last year when it was impounded during the investigation into the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal, in which $4.5 billion from the 1MDB fund was misappropriated. It previously belonged to the fugitive Malaysian banker Low Taek Jho, who is believed by US authorities to be the mastermind behind the scandal .

According to Bloomberg , the Malaysian government had been spending up to $500,000 per month to maintain the yacht.
The yacht specialist Burgess was the broker for the sale. Its $126 million price tag is a significant cut from the $250 million that Low reportedly paid for it.
Burgess CEO Jonathan Beckett said in a company-released Q and A that the yacht has been on the market since the end of October 2018.

Two 34-foot Hodgdon tenders come with the yacht.
The superyacht's $126 million price tag is a significant cut from the $250 million its previous owner paid for it. Burgess said it has "cruised extensively" since its launch and "needs some time in the yard and a repaint but otherwise is in good condition."

Philippe Briand’s 300-Foot Sailing Yacht Concept
- Updated: April 19, 2019
Yacht designer Philippe Briand has revealed plans for his SY300, a 300-foot sailing yacht concept intended to be a true eco-friendly superyacht with carbon-fiber masts.
Briand stated in a press release that he developed 1,550-ton ketch using the same methodology for high-performance racing yachts. Hydrodynamic efficiency would allow underwater turbines to harness power and charge onboard batteries. At a maximum speed above 20 knots, he says, if half the energy were captured, it would be the equivalent of energy that a 500-kW generator produces.
On board, each of the yacht’s three decks would have a swimming pool and sunning area. A dining table on the flybridge would seat 16 guests. There would be a full-beam master stateroom on the main deck with a private terrace, along with six guest staterooms on the lower deck. Quarters would house 17 crew.
Other spaces on board would include a full-beam gymnasium, and a spa with a hot tub and massage room.
“This SY300 design showcases a yacht with purpose that is in keeping with the authentic spirit of sailing,” Briand stated in the press release. “I picture it being ideal for a passionate sailor who wants to stay in touch with the water and the power of the wind. They could even take the helm of the yacht themselves.”
How tall would this yacht be? Its foremast would tower more than 312 feet above the waterline. The spinnaker alone would span nearly 38,000 square feet .

Inside the 300-Foot Superyacht Kylie Jenner Just Rented for Her 22nd Birthday Party
For starters, the $1.2 million-a-week charter yacht comes with a rather shady past., howard walker, howard walker's most recent stories.

Kylie Jenner , the young American cosmetics billionaire and Keeping Up With The Kardashians reality star, is celebrating her 22nd birthday this week with a Mediterranean cruise onboard the 300-foot superyacht Tranquility . Here’s all you need to know about this floating palace.
It’s Huge
Designed and built by the Dutch yard Oceanco and launched in 2014, she measures 300 feet bow to stern—as long as a football field—has a beam of 46 feet and weighs almost 3,000 tons.

It’s Fast
Powered by twin 4,800-horsepower MTU V-20 diesels, Tranquility has a top speed of almost 20 knots and will comfortably cruise at 15. With fuel tanks that can hold around 72,000 gallons, she has a globe-girding range of more than 5,000 nautical miles. And with an ice-classed hull, she can venture anywhere.

There’s Room for All the Kardashians
According to Camper & Nicholsons , who arranged the charter, Tranquility can accommodate up to 22 guests in her 10 cabins. And there’s a crew of up to 31 to take care of every need. Cristal at 3am? Not a problem. Jenner’s master suite is reportedly beyond amazing, with 180-degree views, a huge bathroom with free-standing marble tub, and a private study.

It Has a Slightly Shady Past
The sleek, blue-hulled superyacht hit the headlines last summer when she was seized by Indonesian authorities off the coast of Bali. At the time she was called Equanimity and allegedly owned by fugitive banker Low Taek Jho who is accused of embezzling huge sums from the Malaysian government.

It Was Sold Cheap to a Malaysian Theme Park Company
To recoup some of the estimated $4.5 billion syphoned from Malaysia’s 1MBD state fund, the yacht, which cost a reported $250 million to build, was sold in April to casino and theme park owners Genting Group, for a fire-sale $126 million.

It Costs a Jaw-Dropping $1.23 Million Per Week to Charter
The superyacht joined Camper & Nicholsons’s charter fleet only in June and is currently being offered from Euro1.1 million a week – that’s around $1.23 million. But that doesn’t include expenses and crew gratuities, which could add another 25 percent to the bill. More if the Kardashians party hard. That shouldn’t be a problem for Jenner whose company, Kylie Cosmetics, is, according to Forbes, worth an estimated $900 million, and rising.

Below Decks, She’s All Luxury
With an extravagant interior designed by London’s Winch Design, the yacht has an oriental flavor with lashings of wenge, bamboo and bleached oak wood finishes, gold leaf and Travatino Veluto marble. If anyone wants to sing “Happy Birthday,” the yacht has a unique Lucite-bodied grand piano.
The pampering can happen indoors or out. Courtesy of Camper & Nicholsons
She Offers a Whole Lot of Pampering
Among the multitude of Tranquility’s features is a spectacular indoor/outdoor wellness center. It boasts a a beauty salon, Turkish bath, sauna, gym, massage room, “experiential” showers, and plunge pool.

She Has Speedy Wi-Fi
It’s not usually that important on an escape-from-it-all superyacht. But when you have 143 million Instagram followers anxiously awaiting your every post, and a family clan that’s equally social-media-savvy, it’s key.

What Size Yacht Requires a Crew? (For Different Lengths)
While smaller yachts can be operated by a single person, larger yachts require a trained crew to operate them safely. Different types of yachts also have different crew needs, which can depend on the yacht's size, features, and intended use. In this article, we'll let you know what size yacht requires a crew, and how many crew are needed for different types and lengths of yacht.
Yachts that are over 30 feet in length require a crew to operate them safely. A yacht that is 100 feet in length requires a crew of at least four to six people, including a captain, engineer, stewardess, and deckhand. Meanwhile, yachts that are under 30 feet in length can be operated by a single person.
Recreational yachts are typically smaller and used for leisure activities like fishing, cruising, and water sports. Since these yachts are usually 30 feet or smaller, they can be operated by a single person without a crew. Let's see how many crew members are needed for other types of yachts.
- If the yacht is under 30 feet and is being used for recreational cruising, a crew of two is usually sufficient.
- A 90-foot yacht with multiple decks and luxury amenities may require a crew of 8–12 people, including a captain, first mate, chef, stewardess, and deckhand.
- For sailing yachts between 30 and 50 feet, a crew of four to six is typically required.
- A small superyacht may have a crew of around 20 people, while a larger one may require a crew of 50 or more.

Crew size for yachts over 300 feet
Bigger yachts require more crew members because they tend to be more complex and have more systems and equipment that need to be maintained and operated. Additionally, larger yachts typically have more amenities and features that require specialized staff, such as spa therapists, dive instructors, and security personnel.
A yacht that is 300 feet or more in length may have multiple decks, a helipad, a swimming pool, a movie theater, a gym, and other luxurious amenities that require a larger crew to operate and maintain.
In addition, larger yachts may require more crew members to ensure the safety of the guests and the vessel, especially when navigating in challenging waters or during adverse weather conditions.

Recreational yachts are typically smaller and used for leisure activities like fishing, cruising, and water sports. Yachts that are 30 feet or smaller can usually be operated by a single person without a crew.
However, larger recreational yachts, like those in the 50-100-foot range, may require a small crew for maintenance and management.
Crew size for sailing yachts
Sailboats are a popular type of yacht used for racing, cruising, and exploring. For sailing yachts between 30 and 50 feet, a crew of four to six is typically required. This crew would include a captain, a first mate, a cook, and one or two deckhands.
For yachts over 50 feet, the crew size can range from six to 20 or more. This is because some yachts may also have additional staff, such as a chef, a stewardess, and a masseuse. These staff members are typically hired to provide luxury services to guests onboard.
One of the hidden costs of buying and owning a 50-foot yacht is the costs for staff and crew, which ranges around $50,000 - $150,000 per year.
Crew size for superyachts
Superyachts are the largest and most luxurious yachts on the market, typically measuring over 100 feet in length. A small superyacht may have a crew of around 20 people, while a larger one may require a crew of 50 or more.
Larger superyachts with more amenities and more guests on board will require a larger crew to ensure that all aspects of the vessel are properly maintained and operated. The team will typically include a captain, first mate, engineer, chef, stewardesses, deckhands, and other specialized roles depending on the yacht's amenities.
Some owners may prefer a smaller crew to maintain a more intimate and personalized experience, while others may opt for a larger crew to ensure that all tasks are handled efficiently and to the highest standard.
Crew size for commercial yachts
Commercial yachts are required to have a crew size that is appropriate for the size and type of the vessel, as well as the number of passengers on board. The crew size can vary greatly depending on the yacht's size, amenities, and intended use.
In general, larger yachts will have a larger crew, while smaller yachts may only require a few crew members. For example, a small yacht that is used for day trips or short-term charters may only require a captain and a mate. However, a larger yacht used for extended charters or as a luxury hotel at sea may need a larger crew.
The crew size for commercial yachts is regulated by various maritime authorities, such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the United States Coast Guard (USCG). These authorities have established minimum crew requirements based on the size and type of the yacht, as well as the number of passengers on board.
Based on USCG requirements, a commercial yacht that is less than 100 gross tons and carries up to 12 passengers must have at least one licensed captain and one crew member. If the yacht carries between 13 and 36 passengers, it must have at least two licensed crew members. For yachts that are over 100 gross tons, the crew size requirements will be higher.
A captain license costs around $700 - $800 , but this may vary according to the country as well as potential extras you might need to purchase.
Crew size for luxury yachts
Luxury yachts are designed for comfort and style, typically featuring high-end amenities like spas, gourmet kitchens, and entertainment systems.
Luxury yachts require a larger crew because they are typically larger, more complex, and more luxurious than other types of boats. A larger crew is necessary to ensure that everything runs smoothly and that the guests have an enjoyable and comfortable experience on board.
Here are some of the reasons why luxury yachts require a crew of 10-30 persons:
Safety: A larger crew is necessary to ensure the safety of the guests and the yacht. The crew must be trained and experienced in handling emergency situations, such as fires, medical emergencies, and adverse weather conditions.
Navigation: Luxury yachts require a skilled crew to navigate the vessel safely and efficiently. The captain and crew must be familiar with the yacht's systems, equipment, local waterways, and navigation rules.
Maintenance: Luxury yachts require constant maintenance to keep them in top condition. A larger crew is necessary to perform routine maintenance tasks, such as cleaning, painting, and repairing the yacht's systems and equipment.
Service: Luxury yachts are known for their high level of service and hospitality. A larger crew is necessary to provide guests with personalized service, including gourmet meals, housekeeping, and other amenities.
Entertainment: Luxury yachts often have a variety of entertainment options, such as water sports equipment, movie theaters, and music systems. A larger crew is necessary to operate and maintain these amenities, as well as to provide instruction and assistance to the guests.
The cost of hiring a full-time yacht crew can range from $50,000 to $200,000 per crew member per year. This includes their salary, benefits, and any other expenses associated with their employment, such as training and uniforms.
