Taking a look at the $80 million super yacht of Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls legend and the GOAT to many.

Derick Quinanola

There are a ton of perks when you're the richest athlete to ever step foot on Earth. Michael Jordan sold his basketball team for billions, a $29 million mansion that he doesn't mind hasn't been sold for almost a decade, one of the rarest cars in the world … The list goes on.

But one of the most expensive single purchases Jordan ever made with his money to date was on an $80 million yacht named ‘Joy'. What's more, that's not even the only yacht Jordan owns. He also has a $21 million yacht called ‘Mr. Terrible', which is pretty fitting when you compare the two yachts he has to his name.

First acquired by Jordan in 2016, the vessel spans 230 feet in length and outlines at almost 10 feet. Its maximum speed is 16 knots while its cruising speed is 12 knots. He was first spotted cruising with the yacht on his way to the Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy with some of his closest friends. Lastly, the superstructure is built of Aluminum, the decks are made of Teak wood, and the entire ship is insulated with glass aluminum to accommodate the changing weather and was specially developed by Bannenberg & Rowell Designs.

Amenities inside Michael Jordan's yacht

Michael Jordan named this yacht Joy for a reason. Anything that can bring him or anyone joy can be found inside his yacht. For starters, it comes in five decks, eight cabins, an indoor jacuzzi, a movie theater, a spa, and a stunning dining room. One of the biggest perks of this yacht is the owner's pavilion. This is where you'll find the yacht's penthouse suite, personal office, and a terrace to check out the best views of the ocean.

If you plan to stay active while on the yacht, it has you covered too. It also comes with a gym and an indoor basketball court. After all, what more can you expect from the yacht of one of the greatest basketball players in the world?

When it comes to maintenance, Joy definitely doesn't come cheap. There's a crew of around 19 people onboard the ship 24/7 and costs $800,000 a week to maintain as per Marca . Luckily, this yacht isn't exclusive to Jordan or his friends and family. In fact, anyone can rent Joy for a week. All you'll need is $840,000!

Take a look below at some of the pictures of Michael Jordan's super yacht.

Michael Jordan's $80 Million Yacht Is a Luxury Boat Fit for the GOAT

Let's face it: The average joe, or even most above average joes for that matter, isn't going out and buying 200-foot super yachts. Only a select few of the most successful people in this world can afford such a luxury. Take the greatest player in NBA History, Michael Jordan , for example.

There's pretty much no denying it: Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Not only was he an NBA legend who won six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls, but the five-time MVP also turned his Jordan brand into a super-successful business, making billions of dollars for Nike and opening the door for other athletes to do the same, like LeBron James. As of today, the billionaire owner of the Charlotte Hornets' net worth puts him on the Forbes list year after year.

Now, Jordan is no stranger to boating. A while back, he bought a massive sport fishing Viking Yacht named Catch 23 . It rocked the Air Jordan 3 sneaker elephant print color scheme, and he commonly used it to compete in fishing tournaments. However, one of his more recent purchase puts his old fishing boat to shame. I mean, it is an $80 million luxury yacht after all.

Below, we'll check out what the North Carolina's native pride and Joy (that's the boat's name, by the way) has to offer.

Michael Jordan's Yacht a.k.a. Joy

Coming in at a massive 230 feet, Joy can be spotted miles and miles away. With eight different full-sized cabins onboard, the yacht can house family, friends, or anyone else worthy of staying in the Master Suite with no problem at all. Inside, you'll also find a full bar with a beautiful dining room area and a 270-degree ocean view. Of course, Jordan has also hired some of the world's finest chefs and bartenders as crew members, to serve himself and the guests while out on the water.

Along with an amazing view, the rear deck is fitted with a jacuzzi and a surrounding lounge area for hanging out or tanning. Jordan isn't the kind of person that likes to just sit around though, so it makes sense that there's also a full gym at his disposal to get the blood pumping. Those five-star meals need to get burned off somehow. Additionally, it wouldn't truly be a yacht owned by basketball player Michael Jordan without a full-sized basketball court. He may not play professionally anymore, but that doesn't mean he can't teach his guests a few lessons on the court from time to time.

When it comes down to it, Jordan is a businessman. Because of that, there's also a room that's mainly dedicated to meetings with important clients. The room is fitted with top of the line audio/visual equipment, and a satellite to give a presentation that is nearly impossible to decline. What better way to pitch your ideas than from this luxurious meeting room?

To put things in perspective, this yacht costs around $840,000 each week in order to man the ship and to keep the vessel in seaworthy condition. Not exactly a small price to pay on top of the $80 million price tag, but for the top-of-the-line amenities, it seems to be worth every penny to Jordan. He truly is living the life, pulling up to the beach club on a Caribbean island, ready to take play some 1-on-1 with anyone willing to take on the GOAT.

Michael Jordan’s Yacht: Everything You Want To Know

NBA superstar and arguably the greatest basketball player of all time Michael Jordan retired from the game years ago but still keeps busy doing all kinds of things, including sailing on his yacht . This is no toy, either, as his yacht qualifies as a superyacht and you’ll see why shortly.

Before we get too deep into this it’s worth noting that the yacht we’re covering here may not actually even belong to Michael “Air” Jordan. He chartered it several times and there is a rumor that he purchased it in 2019. But we don’t have 100% confirmation on that so it’s possible this is not Jordan’s yacht at all, just one he really likes. That aside, all of the details about the yacht are still accurate and you’ll see why, even if Jordan didn’t buy this one outright, there’s every reason to understand why he would have, and why he’s chartered it in the past.

What Did Michael Jordan Call His Yacht?

Michael Jordan’s superyacht is called Joy and was launched back in 2016. Of course, that’s just one of his yachts as he actually owns a smaller (but still impressive) sport fishing yacht that he named Catch-23. The name is a clever pun on the familiar saying “Catch-22” and also his jersey number 23 from when he played professional basketball. His fishing yacht cost a cool $8 million so you can imagine what the superyacht Joy must have set him back if he really is the owner. Or you can just read on to find out!

How Much Did Michael Jordan’s Yacht Cost?

Because this yacht is a remarkable, one of a kind vessel, the owner, if it is Jordan, was willing to pay to ensure he got the best of the best. Is it the most expensive yacht in the world? No, not even close. But at $80 million (some sources even say $90 million) it’s definitely no joke. Joy is not a superyacht most people would be able to afford by any means.

How Big is Michael Jordan’s Yacht?

According to most reports, Michael Jordan’s yacht clocks in at a very impressive 230 feet. That’s nowhere near the largest yacht in the world but it’s incredibly large nonetheless and more than twice the size of Shaquille O’Neal’s yacht or Tom Brady’s yacht . 

How Fast is Michal Jordan’s Yacht?

With a pair of 1,850-horsepower engines,  Joy has a cruising speed of 12 knots. At top speed it can reach 16 knots, making it on par with other yachts of this size in terms of speed. At the size it’s clearly not intended for racing or hitting high speeds.

What’s the Interior of Michael Jordan’s Yacht Like?

What’s the one feature you’d absolutely expect to find on the deck of the yacht owned by a basketball legend? Joy has what has been called a full sized basketball court for playing while cruising, so long as the motion of the ocean doesn’t make this too uneven. Guess you’ll have to be careful with those rebounds. To be fair, though, when you look at images and videos it only shows the one hoop so it really looks more like a half court than a full basketball court. Not that there’s a problem with that, it’s certainly more than most yachts have. 

In addition, the space is easily converted if guests are in the mood for different sports and you can play volleyball or badminton. Heck, you can even toss a football around, there’s enough room. If it seems like that might take up too much room, don’t worry. The entire yacht has five decks so there’s plenty of room for the rust of the luxury features someone like Michael Jordan might want included.

As you’d expect on a luxury yacht of this size there’s a large beach club at the aft of the vessel with a dive platform and everything you’d expect in your beach club area. However, when the sun goes down this space is easily converted into a club for parties and it’s decked out for just such an occasion. There are video walls, bean bag chairs and a number of video game consoles for having a good time. It also serves as a movie theatre for when you want to gather a group and watch a film. Obviously there’s a large dining room for meals as well.

Obviously, the designers included a fully equipped gym on his yacht as well but unlike some, this is a partially open air gym. That means you can take in views of the ocean and enjoy the fresh air during a workout. Of course, additional health amenities exist as well. There’s a spa, a masseuse, and more plus a crew of 19 to make sure it all runs smoothly. One of those crew members is the private chef as well who is said to have a Michelin star, and as you’d expect the food will be able to meet the luxury of the rest of the boat.

You can travel across the 5 decks either by the spiral staircase or a luxurious glass elevator. This can take you from the gym to quarters where you’ll find seven cabins to accommodate guests. With the VIP you have eight cabins total.

The master suite offers an impressive 270 degree view of the ocean and has a private terrace if you want to go out for a closer look. The owner’s deck is opulent in design and resembles the penthouse of a luxury hotel. It even has his and hers bathrooms so no one needs to fight over who has access to the rain showers. For more private getaways there’s a private office for business meetings and lounge area for dining that are separated from the rest of the vessel.

You’ll also find four double cabins on board plus one twin cabin and finally a VIP stateroom. In total six time NBA champion has room for 12 guests in addition to the crew. All of the rooms are designed and decorated in a slightly different style so that people who come aboard get a chance to pick a room that appeals to their own personality rather than having a generic room that is the same as everyone else’s.

Elsewhere on board you’ll find a full bar for entertaining as well as a glass-sided deck jacuzzi for relaxing. 

Throughout the yacht’s interior you’ll find ocean mosaics, granite finishes and a lot of other opulent decorative touches that give it the sense of being at a resort. 

When it comes to cutting loose and having a good time, the people who designed Joy didn’t skimp there, either. The boat has a number of water toys including jet skis and guests can wake board, water ski, kayak and go scuba diving or snorkeling as well. Several tenders can take you to and from shore or wherever else you may need to go.

If you want to slow it down but still have fun, there are tons of inflatables that can be taken out and even a giant waterslide. If things get out of hand and someone gets in trouble don’t worry, Joy even has a rescue boat.

Is Michael Jordan’s Yacht Kept at a Caribbean Island?

Much of the reason people believe that Jordan owns Joy is because he was spotted there at the Caribbean island of St. Barts with the yacht back in 2019. Most of the pics you will find online that show Jordan on the yacht are from this time period and this is where speculation that he purchased the yacht came from. 

The Bottom Line

Joy is a luxury superyacht that costs as much as $80 or even $90 million. There’s a rumor that Michael Jordan is the owner of the yacht, and as the first billionaire athlete it’s not hard to believe, but it’s worth noting you can head to a number of yacht charter sites right now and charter this specific yacht for $700,000 per week. Would Michael Jordan let his private yacht be rented out for charters? You can decide that for yourself. Many other sites on the internet are convinced Jordan owns it but we’re not so sure just yet.

Regardless of who owns it, this massive 230 foot vessel has a basketball court on deck that can be converted for other sports or just whatever activities you feel like. There is a huge selection of water toys, space for parties, room for 12 guests, a jacuzzi, a swimming pool, a cinema and a master suite with an incredible 270 degree view of the ocean.

With a top speed of 16 knots and all the features you’d expect from a luxury hotel provided by a staff of 19, whether or not this is owned by Michael Jordan or just enjoyed by the Bulls legend, it’s easy to see why it’s such a highly prized vessel. 

My grandfather first took me fishing when I was too young to actually hold up a rod on my own. As an avid camper, hiker, and nature enthusiast I'm always looking for a new adventure.

An extraordinary design and built, a horde of classy conveniences, a plethora of options for entertainment.

NCB champion Michael Jordan has become famous and prosperous during his basketball career. He owns multiple luxury estates, cars, and superyachts. His $80 million yacht is of particular importance in this list. MJ is listed as one of the wealthiest people in the USA and worldwide. Thus, it comes as no surprise that he might own an $80 million luxury yacht. This is not the only yacht he holds. He has a smaller yacht called Mr. Terrible, which costs about $21 million. This yacht is also pretty impressive , with numerous extravagant conveniences. However, it is nowhere close to the luxury amenities and enormous space that the $80 million boat offers.

The following offers a peek inside Michael Jordan’s $80 million yachts.

The $80million superyacht that is often associated with the famous basketball player Michael Jordan is called Joy. This vessel is 230 feet or 70 meters in length, and the outline is about 9.78 feet or 3 meters long. The maximum speed that Joy can reach is about 16 knots, and the cruising rate is about 12 knots.

The exterior design of the Joy was developed by Bannenberg & Rowell Design . It has a hull made of steel and a superstructure that is built of aluminum . The decks are made of teak wood, and Studio Indigo has done the extravagant interior designing.

The Joy superyacht is a newly made vessel launched in 2016. It comes in a total of 5 decks, each assigned for different activities and purposes. One of the main attractions of this luxury vessel is the owner’s pavilion. It comes with a beautiful master suite and bedrooms with oceanic mosaics as the skylight. There is also an owner’s office space with an extraordinary view.

The entire pavilion offers a 270 degrees view of the ocean and has a classy owner’s lounge for having a frivolous but private moment. The whole ship has been provided with glass insulation to have a comfortable stay during extreme heat or cold.

That is not all; Michael Jordan is known for being hospitable. His yacht has provision for about 12 guests and a crew of nineteen. Friends can come over and stay in the seven luxurious cabins, which are almost as exquisite as the master bedrooms. The bathrooms are all of the granite finish and with rainfall showers . There are spa rooms with a jacuzzi and sauna to offer the guests the best experience of their lives. The yacht makes space generously for a VIP stateroom and twin cabins.

The colossal space allows its passengers a variety of lifestyles. For example, guests can choose sports, domesticity, beach life, or nightlife depending on their mood. The best part of this yacht and why MJ selected this one is the basketball court that it makes space for on the fourth deck. It goes beyond saying that Michael Jordan must be in a mood to play basketball on board even while cruising.

Playing a favorite sport while in the middle of an ocean makes it an exclusive experience. The fourth deck has been built so that it can be converted into any kind of game stack. Sports like football and badminton can also be a source of entertainment when you are onboard.

The main lounge is perhaps the most happening place on this superyacht , especially when the sun goes down. It comes with fancy bars and the most exquisite furniture collection to raise this ship’s status quo. There is a jacuzzi on the aft deck for a more private bath session or relaxation time. The yacht comes with an elevator that will take you to the topmost level, arranged to be a beach club with nightlife entertainment options.

Joy is a unique experience with its wide range of watersports options. It has tender boats, about five paddle bots, four seaboards, water skis, kayaks, and wakeboards. It also stations inflatables and trampolines for extra amusement, and there are fishing scuba equipment and gear for a mind-blowing underwater experience.

Besides, there is ample speculation upon whether Michael Jordan owns this superyacht. But since this yacht has been unavailable for chartering for almost a year, MJ has probably bought it or leased it. Chartering this super vessel comes at a handsome price of $840000 per week . This would be easily affordable to the basketball champion and celebrity Michael Jordan, who has an impressive net worth of approximately $2 billion.

Basketball Court, Spa, 5 Decks — Look inside Michael Jordan's $80 Million Yacht Named 'Joy'

Get a glimpse inside the $80 million yacht named "Joy," which former NBA and Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan reportedly owns.

Former NBA and Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan retired from basketball as one of the greatest players of all time and will go down in the sport's rich history as an icon.

Since his retirement, the former basketballer has shown a huge interest in sea fishing and has been caught relaxing on boats. Hence, it was not surprising when he reportedly splashed the cash and combined his passions by adding a basketball court onto an actual yacht.

In January 2019, Jordan was pictured on top of a mega yacht named "Joy." He was spotted atop the massive yacht off the coast of St. Barths.

It is unclear if he pays the $840,000 per week the yacht costs to charter or bought the $80 million 230-foot floating mansion outrightly.

Whatever the case is, it is not difficult for Jordan to foot the yacht bill as he is estimated to be worth $1.6 billion , making him the world's richest athlete .

Joy is a boat that fits the price it costs due to its unique features. The yacht was built by the Dutch boat specialists, Feadship. It was first launched in 2016 and can reach a top speed of 16 knots, equivalent to 18 miles per hour.

Joy also has extra facilities that one won't find in any other yacht.

Studio Indigo created Joy's amazing interior. The boat features five decks and is big enough to fit 12 guests comfortably within seven cabins. One can access three of the five decks via an elevator.

The owner's deck features a master suite. The master suite was created as though it was a penthouse. From the master suite, one can have a 270-degree view of the yacht's location. The suite also features his and hers en-suite bathrooms.

The master suite also features a private office, terrace, and lounge. The owner's deck also has two bedrooms with en-suites that are usually used for children. Altogether, the yacht has one VIP stateroom, four double cabins, and one twin bed.

Each room in the yacht was designed to have its own personality and character. This means guests can choose a style that suits them the best.

Joy also has extra facilities that one won't find in any other yacht. The first facility that comes to mind is the game deck, which might have caught Jordan's attention because it can be turned into a basketball court.

The game deck can also be transformed into a badminton court or stripped clean to become an open space for workouts and other physical activities. Within the yacht is a fully equipped gym that uses technology from Techno Gym.

Despite its impressive nature, Joy is not the only yacht Jordan owns.

If guests prefer water activities, they can go jet skiing, wakeboarding, water skiing, scuba diving, snorkeling, and kayaking. Besides these features, the boat also has several inflatable objects, and water games include a massive water slide that measures ten meters.

Joy also features smaller tenders guests can speed across the ocean with, including two Williams jet tenders that measure three meters and have 100 horsepower engines.

The yacht has an 11.3m Wajer 38 tender stored within it. In the case of emergencies, Joy also has a 3.9m Ribeye rescue boat.

For relaxation purposes, Joy has an area called the beach club. It is a large area and features a video wall, bean bag chairs, and cinema space. The boat also features satellite TV, wifi, and 4G.

The beach club can be converted for people who want to experience a club but do not have to leave the yacht. When this happens, plush sitting and disco lights replace the cinema experience.

Joy has a spa, a glass-sized jacuzzi on the sun deck, and an on-board masseuse for further relaxation. There is also a private chef to cater to one's dietary needs. Altogether, the yacht has 19 crew on board.

Despite its impressive nature, Joy is not the only yacht Jordan owns. Last year, he took part in the Big Rock Fishing Tournament in Morehead City, North Carolina. For the event, Jordan took his 80-foot, $8 million convertible Viking sportfishing yacht.

The former basketballer definitely loves sea fishing, and his beautiful yacht allows him to enjoy doing what he does best without breaking a muscle.

Michael Jordan’s $80 Million Yacht ‘Joy’ Requires Staggering $800,000-a-Week Maintenance

Michael Jordan, the world’s wealthiest athlete, has made some lavish purchases since his retirement from basketball, including acquiring superyachts. In 2016, he purchased the extravagant superyacht ‘Joy’ for $80 million. This impressive vessel stretches over 230 feet in length and 10 feet in width, offering a range of amenities such as eight cabins, an indoor jacuzzi, a movie theater, a spa, and a dining area.

Additional features on ‘Joy’ include the owner’s pavilion, a penthouse suite, a personal office, and a terrace with breathtaking ocean views. Reflecting MJ’s lifestyle, the yacht even boasts a basketball court and gym.

Maintaining such a luxurious yacht comes at a substantial cost, requiring a crew of 19 people. The weekly expenses alone amount to $800,000, totaling $3.2 million per month. However, ‘Joy’ has been available for rental to anyone willing to pay $840,000 a week.

This extravagant expenditure showcases how Michael Jordan has accumulated immense wealth. He recently joined the Forbes 400 list of the richest people in the United States, despite retiring from basketball two decades ago.

Despite his retirement from basketball, Michael Jordan continues to express his competitive spirit in various activities, including fishing. He recently participated in the 32nd MidAtlantic fishing tournament, where rough weather conditions led to only 11 boats venturing out on the final day. Despite the challenges, the event saw three dozen winners sharing a $5.79 million prize.

Jordan’s boat, “Catch 23,” secured third place with a 75-pound catch, earning a cash prize of $462,318. Christopher Little’s “Talkin Trash” claimed the overall win in the Tuna Division, while Chip Caruso’s “Pipe Dreamer” dominated the Blue Marlin division.

Through his ventures in fishing and 23XI Racing, Jordan continues to channel his competitive nature outside of basketball. As the world’s richest athlete, he has even more resources to indulge in his passions, following the sale of the Charlotte Hornets for $3 billion.
