Luxury yacht LUNASEA offers accommodation for up to 12 guests in six cabins, which includes an expansive Owner's cabin with impressive vistas.

Ibiza-style interiors create a refined and refreshing on-board ambience, with plenty of gold accents, marble surfaces and contemporary art pieces throughout.

The yacht also places heavy focus on integrating the indoor and outdoor lifestyles, so guests will discover plenty of superb outdoor areas where they can soak up the sunshine but also benefit from shade and easy access to the interior.

The sundeck is a stunning example of this, with a large jacuzzi adjoined by a sleek bar, intimate lounging area, an innovative winter-garden style relaxation area amidships, and a second bar and alfresco dining arrangement available. 

The beach club further highlights her dedication to outdoor living, with fold-out sea terraces which play host to gym equipment where guests can work out just inches away from the water. 

Those looking to trade weights for wellness can enjoy spa facilities on the lower deck, with a dedicated treatment room with a massage table.

LunaSea Yacht : An Insider’s Guide

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?

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?

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?

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?

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?

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

There are plenty of features on board the LunaSea for guests to enjoy. Check out some of the most noteworthy ones here.

• There’s a sizable, state-of-the-art movie theater that can seat ten guests. 
• A glass-fronted, 8-meter infinity pool is a prominent feature on the aft deck. The glass front end is a waterfall feature and allows light into the beach club below.
• A well-appointed spa that features a hair salon, a masseuse, and more.
• A large beach club has plenty of room to relax, soak up the sun, or enjoy drinks.
• The well-equipped gym allows excellent ocean views, thanks to fold-down sea terraces, so you can exercise while you enjoy the sea air.
• The sun deck jacuzzi allows further relaxation under the sun and is next to an indoor/outdoor bar, so refreshments are always close at hand. It’s surrounded by a large area of lounge space as well.
• An elevator that allows guests to travel conveniently between decks.
• Dining areas are located on the sun deck and the bridge deck aft.
• The main salon has a fully-stocked bar to provide an extensive selection of mixed drinks and a sizable wine collection.

Toys You Can Use on Your Luxury Yacht Charter

Most yachts have a variety of water toys for guests to enjoy, but LunaSea is bringing the fun to the next level, which probably stems from the owner’s experience in the gaming world and having fun. This list includes several items you won’t find on most yachts and a surplus of things that may be available on other yachts but not usually this abundantly. Suffice it to say that the LunaSea is about having as much fun as possible when you take it out on the water. Check out this remarkable and extensive list of toys charter guests can play with on the yacht.

• A pair of Sea-Doo Spark 90HP Jet-Skis
• Four different F5 Seabobs
• Five Jobe Bamboo Paddleboards
• A Jobe Omnia Kneeboard
• A trio of  Liquid Force Trip Wake Boards
• Connelly Impuls 68″ Water-Ski

The Bottom Line

The yacht LunaSea was built by Feadship in 2017. It was commissioned by John Symond and then bought by Yahn Bernier in 2020 for about $110 million. The yacht is nearly 240 feet long and has room for 12 guests. If interested, you can charter LunaSea at $800,000 per week.

The yacht features an 8-meter infinity pool, a movie theater, a sundeck Jacuzzi, and a remarkable variety of water toys for guests.

Luxury yachts and other myths: How Republican lawmakers echo Russian propaganda

Two senior Republican lawmakers, the chairs of the House Intelligence and Foreign Affairs committees, say their colleagues are echoing Russian state propaganda against Ukraine.

Researchers who study disinformation say Reps. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, and Michael McCaul, R-Texas, are merely acknowledging what has been clear for some time: Russian propaganda aimed at undermining U.S. and European support for Ukraine has steadily seeped into America’s political conversation over the past decade, taking on a life of its own.

McCaul, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Puck News he thinks “Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base.”

Turner, chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, told CNN that anti-Ukraine messages from Russia are “being uttered on the House floor.”

For the past decade, since Russia’s first military incursion into Ukraine in 2014, Moscow has spread propaganda and disinformation in a bid to undercut U.S. and European military support for Ukraine, according to U.S. and Western officials.

Some of the arguments, distortions and falsehoods spread by Russia have taken root, mostly among right-wing pro-Trump outlets and Republican politicians, researchers say, including that Ukraine’s government is too corrupt to benefit from Western aid and that the Biden family has alleged corrupt ties to Ukraine.

Russia, in keeping with traditional propaganda techniques, seeks to make its case and tarnish Ukraine through a mixture of outright falsehoods, half-truths, inferences or simply amplifying and promoting arguments already being made by American or European commentators and politicians, researchers say.

The propaganda is sometimes spread covertly, through fake online accounts, or openly by Russian officials and state media. As a result, the origin of some allegations or criticisms is often opaque, especially when a certain accusation or perception has gained wide acceptance, leaving no clear fingerprints.

Early in the war, a false story boosted by Russian propaganda — that the U.S. had helped Ukraine build biological weapons labs — gained traction on right-wing social media and was touted by then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Russia also is conducting a parallel propaganda campaign in Europe. Belgium’s prime minister said Thursday that his government is investigating alleged Russian bribes to members of the European Parliament as part of Moscow’s campaign to undermine support for Ukraine. Czech law enforcement officials last month alleged that a former pro-Russian member of Ukraine’s parliament, Viktor Medvedchuk, was behind a Prague-based Russian propaganda network designed to promote opposition to aiding Ukraine.

Here are some examples of Republican lawmakers using arguments often promoted by Russian propaganda:

Buying yachts

When Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with members of Congress behind closed doors in December to appeal for more U.S. help for his country’s troops, some lawmakers raised questions about Ukraine allegedly buying yachts with American aid money.

Zelenskyy made clear that was not the case, according to Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, a strong supporter of arming Ukraine. “I think the notion of corruption came up because some have said we can’t do it, because people will buy yachts with the money,” Tillis told CNN. “[Zelenskyy] disabused people of those notions.”

Where did the yacht rumor come from?

Pro-Russian actors and websites promoted a narrative alleging Zelenskyy bought two superyachts with U.S. aid dollars. One Russia-based propaganda site, DC Weekly , published a story last November that included photos of two luxury yachts, called Lucky Me and My Legacy , which it alleged were bought for $75 million.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., a vocal opponent of military aid to Ukraine, in November retweeted a post about the alleged yacht purchase from the Strategic Culture Foundation, a Russian-based propaganda outlet directed by Russia’s intelligence services, according to the Treasury Department. The U.S. has imposed sanctions on the organization, accusing it of spreading disinformation and interfering in U.S. elections.

Another outspoken critic of aid to Ukraine, Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, also made a similar claim.

In a December interview with former President Donald Trump’s White House adviser Steve Bannon, Vance claimed that members of Congress wanted to cut Social Security benefits to provide more aid to Ukraine, and that money would allegedly be used for Zelenskyy’s ministers to “buy a bigger yacht.”

“There are people who would cut Social Security, throw our grandparents into poverty. Why? So that one of Zelenskyy’s ministers can buy a bigger yacht?” Vance said. “Kiss my ass, Steve. It’s not happening.”

The tale of Zelenskyy’s luxury yacht, however, turned out to be totally false . The yachts cited in the DC Weekly article remain up for sale , the owners told The Associated Press.

Two academics at Clemson University, disinformation researchers Darren Linvill and Patrick Warren, found that DC Weekly ran numerous stories copied from other sites that were rewritten by artificial intelligence engines. The articles had bylines with fake names along with headshots copied from other online sites. DC Weekly appeared to be a Russian effort to launder false information through a seemingly legitimate news site as part of an attempt to undermine U.S. support for Ukraine, according to the researchers .

Asked by reporters about Vance’s comments, Tillis said: “I think it’s bullshit. ...If you’re talking about giving money to Ukrainian ministers — total and unmitigated bullshit.”

Greene’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

Vance’s spokesperson said the senator was making a rhetorical point about how he opposed sending U.S. assistance to what he sees as a corrupt country, but was not asserting the yacht stories online were accurate.

Vance’s office referred NBC News to an earlier response to the BBC on the same topic:

“For years, everyone in the West recognized that Ukraine was one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Somehow everyone forgot that just as we started sending them billions of dollars in foreign aid.”

Enabling ‘corruption’

Russian state media for years has painted Ukraine as deeply corrupt, and has argued that the U.S. and its allies are wasting money and military hardware by assisting such an allegedly corrupt government.

“This is absolutely a line that they have pushed, and then once it appears in the Western ecosystem, other [Russian] media picks it up and it gets recycled back,” said Bret Schafer, a senior fellow at the Alliance for Securing Democracy.

This line of argument has gained traction partly because Ukraine does face a genuine corruption problem.

Russia’s effort to focus attention on corruption in Ukraine reflects a long-established propaganda method of using facts or partial truths to anchor a broader assertion or accusation, sometimes making a leap in logic, Schafer and other researchers said. Russia’s message amounts to: Ukraine is corrupt, therefore U.S. and Western aid will be stolen and wasted.

Schafer said it was ironic for Russia, a country mired in corruption and kleptocracy, to be leveling accusations about corruption.

Republican Rep. Mary Miller has said she strongly opposes more assistance for Ukraine because it amounts to sending cash to “corrupt oligarchs.”

“With Zelensky coming to DC this week to ask for more money, I will continue to vote AGAINST sending your tax $$ to corrupt oligarchs in Ukraine for a proxy war that could have ended in ‘22,” Miller wrote in a post on X in December.

The Illinois lawmaker also echoed another assertion that often appears in Russian media, that the Biden administration allegedly undermined efforts by Russia to avoid war with Ukraine.

 “A peace deal was on the table that [Ukraine] and [Russia] were both ready to sign, but Biden said NO,” she wrote.

There was in fact no proposed peace agreement that Russia and Ukraine were prepared to sign before Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, according to U.S. and European officials. As Russian troops massed on the border of Ukraine, Western governments urged Russia not to invade and warned there would be economic and diplomatic consequences.

Reuters has reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected a possible deal to avert a war that had been discussed with Kyiv by Russia’s envoy to Ukraine. The Kremlin said the report was inaccurate and has said Russia tried for years to arrive at an understanding with Ukraine.

As for corruption in Ukraine, Zelenskyy has vowed to tackle the problem, sacking senior officials in some recent cases. But some civil society groups have criticized his approach and Ukrainians say corruption is the country’s second-most serious problem, after the Russian invasion, according to a poll conducted last year.

In an annual survey, Transparency International said Ukraine made progress toward addressing the issue and now ranks 104th out of 180 countries on its Corruption Perceptions Index , climbing 12 places up from its previous ranking.

Ukraine is not alone among countries that receive U.S. and other foreign aid but struggle with corruption. Supporters of assisting Ukraine argue it would undermine America’s influence in the world and its humanitarian efforts if Washington withheld foreign aid from every country where there were reports of corruption.

Miller’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

The Biden family and Ukraine

Republicans have repeatedly alleged that President Joe Biden and his son Hunter have corrupt ties to Ukraine, and that they sought $5 million in bribes from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma to protect the firm from an investigation by Ukraine’s prosecutor general.

There is no credible evidence for the allegations. A key source for the accusations against the Bidens is a former FBI informant, Alexander Smirnov, who was arrested in February on federal charges of fabricating the bribery claims. Smirnov says he was fed information by Russian intelligence.

Republicans had heavily promoted Smirnov’s allegations against the Bidens, seeing them as crucial to a planned impeachment effort against the president that has since fizzled .

“In my estimation, that is probably the clearest example of Russian propaganda working its way into the American political system,” said Emerson Brooking, a resident senior fellow at the Digital Forensic Research Lab of the Atlantic Council.

GOP Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona cited the false bribery allegations in expressing his opposition to providing assistance to Ukraine.

“In exchange for … bribe money from Ukraine, Joe Biden has dished out over $100 billion in taxpayer money to fund the war in Ukraine. I will not assist this corruption by sending more money to the authoritarian Ukrainian regime,” Gosar said in a statement in October.

Gosar’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

Manslaughter Probe Launched After Bayesian Yacht Sinking Kills British Entrepreneur, Morgan Stanley Chief

Italian authorities have launched a manslaughter investigation into the captain of the luxury Bayesian sailing yacht that sank off the coast of Sicily last week in a wreck that killed seven people, including Britsh tech entrepreneur Michael Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, and Morgan Stanley International director Jonathan Bloomer.

Italian Coast Guards take part in searches of missing off Porticello near Palermo, on Aug. 21, 2024.

Italian prosecutors will investigate James Cutfield, the captain of the Bayesian, for manslaughter after the ship sank in rough weather overnight on Aug. 18, multiple outlets reported Monday.

The investigation will look into if the crew of the ship appropriately handled the storm that hit the yacht before it capsized, if passengers were warned of imminent danger and if hatches on the ship were left ajar, which would have contributed to its quick sinking.

As part of the probe, the ship will be raised from the waters in which it sank later this year, CNN reported , at the cost of registered owner Angela Bacares, the wife and mother, respectively, of victims Michael and Hannah Lynch.

The Bayesian, named for a mathematical theory, is currently about 50 meters (164 feet) below the surface near the port of Porticello in Sicily, Italy, and sank less than a minute after it capsized.

Officials have said the passengers who died—Michael and Hannah Lynch, Jonathan and Judy Bloomer and Chris and Neda Morvillo—were likely asleep at the time of the sinking.

Notices of investigations into an incident must be issued in Italy before autopsies can be done on victims, Reuters reported , and the opening of a probe does not necessarily mean formal charges will follow.

Key Background

The Bayesian is a 184-foot luxury sailing yacht with a 246-foot aluminum mast—the tallest of its kind in the world. It is legally owned by Bacares and her late husband "had a lot of pride" in his yacht, a staff member told The Times of London. The Lynch/Bacares family was on board with seven guests and the boat was anchored when a storm hit overnight on Sunday, Aug. 18. The harsh weather included a " waterspout ," a tornado-like swirling column of air and water, that caused the vessel to top over and it was then quickly dragged underwater. Of the 10 passengers, six died in the capsizing and their bodies were recovered last week. There were also 12 crew members on board and one, Recaldo Thomas, also died. Among those resued were Bacares; Charlotte Golunski, a partner at Lynch's Invoke Capital, along with her partner and her baby daughter; lawyer Ayla Ronald and her partner.

Lynch, Bloomer and Morvillo were all involved in a massive fraud trial that saw Hewlett-Packard accuse Lynch and others of artificially inflating the value of his software company, Autonomy, before HP purchased it in 2011. Lynch was indicted for conspiracy and wire fraud in the sale but was acquitted alongside his co-defendant Stephen Chamberlain, who was killed in a car crash in the U.K. the same weekend the Bayesian sank in Italy. Bloomer testified for the defense at Lynch’s trial, according to the Associated Press , and Morvillo was one of the lawyers on the case.
