Testimonials, "a great day out".

"Really enjoyed the afternoon, fresh air, fishing and the BBQ afterwards with our catch. Even our grandson got to steer the boat and saw seals basking on the shore...and sea birds.... He helped haul in a lobster pot and its contents... Which made his day for him. Family are clamouring to repeat the adventure.... A great day out for us all..."

"A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE"

"We had a wonderful experience with Brian. We went on a family fishing trip around Kinsale Harbour and had 2 young kids with us. Brian was very knowledgeable and was great with the kids. He was very flexible and tailored the trip to suit what we wanted on the day. Everyone was delighted with the day out and we created great family memories. I would highly recommend Kinsale Wellness on water to family and friends and have every intention of organising another trip with Brian."

Real-life Succession in Kinsale as Billionaire's €80m superyacht pulls in for a pint at the Dock

Owner James Berwind is a fascinating character with a big story - and that's not a bad little boat

If you're missing the mega-hit TV drama Succession - you should take a trip to Kinsale to have a look at the real thing, in the form of the superyacht Scout and its billionaire owner, heir to a massive, shared family fortune.

The gorgeous yacht 'Scout' is tied up in front of the famous Dock pub this morning, taking up quite a lot of the Castlepark Marina as it becomes the first super-yacht of the summer to visit Cork Harbour.

The Scout as an impressive 209ft superyacht built in Holland in 2019 - originally, it is believed, to a design specified by the members of the Heineken family (yes, THAT Heineken) but bought by American James Berwind in 2020 for a price believed to be around €80m.

A deep ocean cruiser, she can comfortably cater for up to 10 guests and 14 staff and with its classic lines and relatively subdued design (for a superyacht at least) is considered one of the coolest yachts in the world. The fact that it has amenities including a fully equipped gym, cinema room, 3 bars, and a huge sun deck with a jacuzzi also helps on the desirability front.

However, it's the story of the owner, James Berwind (believed to be in Kinsale with his beloved Scout, named for one of the family dogs) that is even more fascinating.

The Florida-based Berwind is an heir to a vast, shared family fortune and with his brothers and sisters, part owner of an international global corporation - but he has forged a very different path in life to his father and grandfather before him.

His famous forebears Edward Julius and Charles Frederick Berwind were the founders of the Berwind-White Coal Mining company in America in the 1860s, which became a vast mining conglomerate that it still privately held in a family trust today. It has diversified from mining into areas including manufacturing and real estate. The Berwind Corporation's real estate holdings alone are worth around $3bn dollars.

However, while the family made its fortune in fossil fuels - James Berwind and his long-time partner Kevin Clark have devoted themselves to philanthropy, mostly focused on animal welfare and environmentalism, a path that could hardly be more different from that chosen by his coal-baron forebears.

His father Charles Graham Berwind was in the coal business and kept up the family passions for pastimes like Polo and Yachting.

With a personal fortune estimated to be around €500m and as a part of the family trust overseeing the Berwind Corporation, James Berwind is an architect who - along with his siblings - runs the international philanthropy foundation Spring Point Partners , supporting projects and people involved in environmental and community development worldwide.

Their mission is equality, justice and protecting the environment, a far cry from their forebears who made their vast family wealth in the coal mines of the United States.

And James himself, who sold his Palm Beach, Florida water-side mansion for $26.7m in 2021, has founded and runs several animal shelters and charities that protect vulnerable animals.

He is reported to have made the yacht Scout a 'semi-permanent home, to be used to explore the world" along with his long-term partner Kevin Clark. And you might see the man around Kinsale over the coming days, the yacht has dropped in after a visit to Dublin and will be on its way again shortly.
