BEYONCE really is her alter ego Sasha Fierce, as she shows no fear jumping off the side of a 30ft yacht.

The Lemonade star is holidaying in Sardinia with rapper husband Jay Z and cooled off by leaping off the giant vessel.

She showed off her enviable curves and that famous booty in a bright yellow swimming costume.

The superstar couple are enjoying their holiday aboard super yacht, The Galactica Star which they have rented for the summer.

The US star is currently taking a break from her Formation World Tour but looked every bit the pop star in the plunging one piece.

The singer, 34, heavily hinted at relationship troubles on her new album Lemonade earlier this year but the rapper, 46, was doing nothing to rock the boat as set sail aboard the luxurious boat.

The holiday hot-spot is a favourite of the couple, having taken a trip their with Bey’s former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland, 35, last September.

She will return to the stage next month for the final leg of her tour, having completed her European dates earlier this month.

In Which Beyoncé Jumps Off a 30-Foot Yacht While Jay Z Faithfully Snaps Pics

Her Instagram doesn't run itself, guys.

Jay Z's probably best known for being a rapper/music mogul, but let's not forget about his side gig as Beyoncé's personal photographer.  New evidence  suggests that Jay has been moonlighting as an Instagram Husband, and he's back at it again—this time to photograph Bey as she leaps off a 30-foot yacht.

It's unclear exactly how long Jay perched on that tiny boat for, but it's obviously worth it for the perfect photo of his queen diving into the water in what  appears  to be a lemon-themed swimsuit.

Just a casual reminder of that one time she  dropped a visual album about their relationship , no bigs.

Beyonce just jumped off a 30ft yacht to get the most epic Instagram photo

We reckon Beyonce is going for the most liked photo on Instagram after she jumped off a 30ft yacht – with Jay Z capturing the moment on camera.

The singer, who is currently in Sardinia taking a break from her Formation World Tour, was papped as she pencil dived off the super yacht.

Jay was on Instagram husband duties in a smaller boat underneath ready to snap her in action and we can’t wait until she posts the final image.

He’s always there for Bey when she needs a special snap:

Take a peek inside Jay-Z and Beyoncé's €3 million luxury vacation aboard 136m FLYING FOX

• Share this on Facebook

• Share via Email

By Nina Done   16 September 2021

Star couple Jay-Z and Beyoncé eschewed the Illustrious Met Gala to celebrate her 40th birthday in supreme style onboard the largest and most expensive charter yacht in the world, the 136m/446ft Lurssen megayacht FLYING FOX for a luxury vacation in the Mediterranean. 

Beyoncé recently shared images of her family enjoying their vacation onboard this iconic superyacht, which certainly enjoys a star power of its own, boasting a huge array of spectacular amenities across 6 vast decks.

The yacht's graceful exterior curves are penned by the renowned Espen Øino, whilst her interiors are the brainchild of Mark Berryman Design.

Her interiors showcase a contemporary minimalist vibe, with influences from Japanese culture which follow through into her stunning accommodation areas.

She sleeps up to a whopping 25 guests on charter in 10 gorgeous suites, including an impressive upper deck Owner's apartment featuring a his and hers dressing room leading to a large bathroom with an oval stone tub, as well as a 105m² cabin with adjacent work spaces, saloon and dining area, topped off by a wraparound private terrace with spa pool and sunpads.

Superlative onboard amenities

It's hard not to get excited when talking about FLYING FOX's unbelievable features. The jewel in the crown has to be her 400m² multi-level wellness centre offering guests everything from a spa pool which turns from hot to ice cold in minutes – ideal for plunging into after a steamy session in the Hammam, a beauty therapy treatment room with all the latest gadgets for sublime facials and massages, a full-blown dive centre with air nitrox and onboard decompression chamber, to a cryo-sauna where guests can reinvigorate tired muscles at an icy -110 degrees.

Additional onboard highlights include a vast adjustable height 12-meter swimming pool with jets, two certified helipads, with one doubling as a dance floor with a DJ booth located in the mast alcove, soundproof movie theatre, fully-equipped gymnasium and glorious double-height mezzanine-style main salon.

Her waterside level beach club provides access to a vast 22.5m swim platform, providing the perfect base for launching the yacht's veritable armada of toys, from seabobs to flyboards.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s entourage would certainly be dwarfed by the yacht's highly-professional crew of 55, all of whom are trained for multiple roles in order to staff the various amenities found onboard, including the yacht's very own hospital wing.

Yacht rentals in the Mediterranean

Offering an endless variety of alluring destinations, the glittering Mediterranean is a yacht charter's paradise, where idyllic lush island clusters are often only a champagne cork's pop away from glamorous yacht clubs and Michelin-starred restaurants. Promising memorable vacations whatever destination you decide on, the Mediterranean is a world-class of its own.

If you need some help planning your luxury yacht charter, take a look at our  Mediterranean yacht charter guide , which has plenty of useful information, as well as a number of fantastic sample itineraries for inspiration.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z Are on the Most Glamorous $4 Million-a-Week Yacht Vacation

They're traveling around the mediterranean aboard the ultra-luxurious 'flying fox' yacht..

While eager fashion fans were disappointed they didn’t get to see Beyoncé at the Met Gala on Monday, September 13 , the Grammy Award-winning musician was already quite busy that day, as she’s in the midst of a lavish 40th birthday celebration in Europe.. Beyoncé, who turned the big 4-0 on September 4, and Jay-Z have been living their best vacation lives aboard an absolutely massive megayacht, sailing around the Mediterranean .

Beyoncé, Jay-Z and their three children (Blue Ivy and twins Rumi and Sir) are currently aboard the Flying Fox , a 450-foot-long yacht was costs approximately $4 million a week to charter, according to Forbes . The palatial yacht, which cost a reported $400 million to build, has been rumored to belong to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos , though other reports claim the tech billionaire isn’t the owner.

No matter who owns the lavish yacht, it’s currently occupied by Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who have been traveling around Italy and France; they were spotted in Cannes earlier this week, where they were joined by Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, and dined at La Geurite, before heading to Portofino . Beyoncé has shared plenty of photos of the family’s European jaunt on her Instagram, including a snap where her youngest daughter, Rumi, makes a cameo.

The sprawling 67-foot-wide yacht does make for a rather picturesque Instagram aesthetic. The Flying Fox contains 10 bedroom suites, and can accommodate up to 25 guests as well as 55 crew members. The decor features lots of marble, limestone and cream leather, as well as rattan and coconut shell details, per Boat International .

The plush spa has oak paneling and heated limestone floors, and is equipped with a hammam, sauna and a massive pool, plus a cryosauna. There’s also a fancy gym, movie theater, a formal living room as well as a dining room with an aquarium. The owner’s suite has its own sitting room, beauty room and double dressing rooms, in addition to an ethanol fireplace.

There are no less than six decks, including a helipad perched on the very top. There’s also a DJ alcove, for whenever the guests might want to transform the aforementioned helipad into a dance floor.

Even though Beyoncé didn’t make an appearance at the Met Gala, she’s still making a true fashion statement with plenty of stylish vacation looks. And while she might not have stood on the red (well, beige) carpet, a $400 million yacht might be an even better backdrop than those famous Met steps.

PSA: Beyoncé Jumps Off A Yacht Exactly The Way You Think Beyoncé Would Jump Off A Yacht

Beyoncé spent this weekend the way we all should have spent this weekend: jumping off a 30ft yacht (instead, most of us spent the weekend on the couch watching episodes of Mr Robot and online shopping, like this writer did).

But, to be fair to the true nature of Beyoncé’s activities, we wouldn’t really call it ‘jumping off a yacht’. Try ‘gently lowering herself down into the sea by manipulating the ocean breeze’, or perhaps ‘temporarily suspending the laws of gravity in order to descend gracefully into the water’.

See for yourself:

No flailing arms. No grin for the ‘gram. Just the calm, collected process of lowering oneself into the sea.

The internet, understandably, reacted accordingly.

Leave It To Beyoncé To Find A Way To Shock Us While On Vacation

She looks so calm jumping off this 30-foot yacht.

BuzzFeed Staff

Beyoncé has been known to pull a shocking stunt or two (hundred), but she took things to another level while vacationing off the coast of Sardinia, Italy, with her family this week.

And by another level I mean the third level of this big-ass yacht!! BEY, WYD?!

Like, are you trying to give the entire Beyhive a heart attack?

Did Blue approve this?! Does Miss Tina know you just out here thrill-seeking!?

And how is Jay Z just down there filming?! Look at how close our precious Queen Bey is to all these pieces of heavy machinery!

THE CLOSENESS OF THIS LANDING IS SO STRESSFUL.

Honestly her precision is amazing, though. Why must she be perfect at everything?!

Also, look at all the people involved nervously praying this ended well.

Meanwhile, Beyoncé is as cool as a cucumber because she knows who and whose she is.

Someone add daredevil to Beyoncé's 444 job titles.

Beyonce Jumps Off Yacht in Swimsuit, Jay Z Captures Special Moment: Photos

Ein von Beyoncé (@beyonce) gepostetes Foto am Jan 14, 2015 at 5:37 PST

Taking the plunge! Beyonce embraced adventure on Wednesday, Jan. 14, sharing a series of photos in which she jumped off her yacht into the ocean.

The singing sensation's stunt was chronicled by her husband Jay Z — clad in a crisp white button-down — who held a professional camera on the deck of the boat to capture the moment.

In the snapshots, Bey wears a multi-print, one-piece swimsuit by Camilla (currently on sale for $239), which includes a black and white bodice and teal bottom. She leaps off the boat with her arms up in the air and draws her legs in to gain speed as she flings herself toward the water.

Her latest updates from the Carter family's ongoing vacation in southeast Asia come several days after she posted a cryptic snap to Instagram that sparked pregnancy rumors. The image featured Bey, buried in the sand with her stomach suspiciously molded into a rather oversized shape. Blue Ivy , 3, played on the sand beside her famous mom, who simply grinned in the photo.

One day later, her Destiny's Child sister and best friend Michelle Williams squashed pregnancy rumors. "You know, when she was pregnant, people said that she wasn't pregnant," Williams said on The View on Monday, Jan. 11. "You know, it's just no truth to it. Sorry!"

She continued: "If you look at the picture, the baby bump is, like, where her knees probably really are so that's pretty."

Jay Z Helped Beyoncé’s Mom Safely Jump Off a Yacht

M eanwhile in the French Riviera, Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles Lawson jumped off a yacht into the ocean as Jay Z coached her.

It was, as the businesswoman explained, “a leap of faith,” in hope that “the world in 2017 is going to be a better, safer place.” She first jumped off the second story of the luxury boat. Emboldened, she then leapt off the third story with an assist from Jay who said, “you need a count, don’t jump without a count.”

Knowles Lawson did miss vertical on both jumps, but she’s still an impressive 62-year-old woman. Other family members on vacation with Beyoncé might have just simply sat around and sunned themselves in their matching robes. Not Tina. Even though a child’s voice, possibly Blue Ivy, can be heard expressing concern for her safety in the background of this video, she was not deterred.

Thanks goodness Jay Z, lifeguard, life coach, and dutiful Instagram son-in-law was there to enforce his specific yacht jumping rule.

Inside Beyoncé and Jay Z's insane $283 million charter yacht

Queen Bey isn't one to do things by halves, and that includes family holidays, as she and hubby Jay Z proved earlier this week when she packed up the fam bam for a lavish Amalfi Coast escape.

The duo were snapped stepping onboard a lavish super-yacht on the Italian coast with their young family in tow.

The music power couple, who collectively earned a reported $197 million (US$147 million) last year, have been living it up on the luscious Amalfi Coast in the $283 million charter yacht, dubbed Kismet.

Beyonce has even been sharing cute family photos to her Instagram, featuring Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy, looking relaxed and donning their breezy, summer holiday best.

• Celebrity Holidays

I'm sure you'd be relaxed and in good spirits too, if you were sailing from port to port in this extravagant vessel, which features its own beauty salon, indoor cinema and massage room.

Of course, the couple are splashing an eye-watering $1.9 million a week for the pleasure.

The yacht is owned by US self-made billionaire Shahid Khan, who also owns NFL team the Jacksonville Jaguars and Fulham FC.

The private multi-level boat, available to rent from luxury yacht charter company Moran Yacht & Ship, is 312-ft long and comes with a crew of 28 (well, someone has to steer the boat and give Bey her daily mani-pedis and massages).

The superstar has been spotted catching some rays in a swimsuit on the sunny deck, kitted out with plush lounges and armchairs.

The yacht's opulent interiors were created by the award-winning designer Reymond Langton, who reportedly took inspiration from Champagne and caviar.

The resort-chic exteriors are the handiwork of custom motor yacht designer Espen Oeino, also the naval architect behind some of the world's most famous superyachts.

The enormous boat features a full-sized outdoor pool and Jacuzzi, next to cushy sunbeds.

When you've had enough splashing around and working on your vacay tan, you can head inside to the bar area for a sunset spritzer.

The yacht can accommodate up to 12 guests — so Bey and her young family won't have to fight for a room here.

Rooms are individually decorated with unique prints, furnishings and artworks.

The boat's luxe massage relaxation room features warm tones and Oriental-leaning decor.

Just next door, guests can make good use of the whirl bath, shower and sauna (also emblazoned with art) plunge pool, and a separate steam room.

Beyoncé Pulls Off Crazy Yacht Diving. Look Out Below!

(Photos: AKM-GSI)

Beyoncé isn’t even living life on the edge anymore … she’s going right over it!

We got these shots of Bey and Jay Z balling out off the coast of Sardinia on their favorite rented super yacht, the Galactica Star. But instead of sunbathing or sipping bubbly … Beyoncé decided to go all daredevil and dive off the top deck.

Looks to be at least a 30-foot drop, and we think that’s Jigga recording video from below. Maybe she was inspired by the Olympics … or maybe she’s making a quick escape.

Bottom line … #CakesintheOcean

She's a fearless flyer! Bikini-clad Beyonce makes dramatic ocean leap from yacht in new video filmed by Jay-Z

She last year famously plunged 600ft from Auckland's Sky Tower in a dramatic freefall jump.

And Beyonce clearly has a head for heights, posting a video on Friday showing her taking a giant leap from her yacht into the ocean.

The 15 second video shows the star waiting on top of the yacht while being counted down by husband Jay-Z who is behind the camera.

Dizzy heights: In a video posted by Beyonce on Friday, the swimsuit clad singer leaps of a yacht into the water

'One, two, three, she's off,' he shouts as the 32-year-old singer holds her arms aloft in beat to the countdown.

She plunges into the ocean sporting a black and white print bikini to cheers from her friends on the boat, emerging from the sea to Jay shouting 'nice'

The star, who was spotted enjoying the basketball at the weekend with her rapper beau, also posted a video of her far higher bungee jump last October.

Holiday fun: The star was clearly enjoying herself on the video

Letting her hair down: The thrill seeking 32-year-old sported a black and white patterned bikini for her big jump

Splashdown! Beyonce made it into the water and held her hands aloft, to the sound of Jay-Z laughing

The star was in Auckland  for her Mrs. Carter Show world tour.

However the daredevil singer looked excited about the exhilarating experience and howled with laughter as she fell.

On her way down, she even managed to scream 'this is awesome' and 'this is so fun.'

Happy couple: Beyonce was pictured wrapped up warm as she joined Jay-Z on the sidelines at the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night

The singer performed two jumps from the tower - which is 1,076 metres or 600 ft in height - because she enjoyed it so much, before 'disappearing as quickly as she arrived,' according to a report in New Zealand newspaper the Herald.

A source told the newspaper: 'She got changed into the bungee clothes out the back somewhere and was taken straight up in a service elevator.

Freefalling: Beyonce howls with laughter during her 600ft plummet from the top of the Sky Tower in Auckland last October

Going down: Bey screamed 'this is awesome' as she plummeted towards the ground

'It was difficult to see her when she came down because she had so many bodyguards with her.

'It was all over very quickly and bosses kept it quiet from everyone because they didn't want word getting out and risk huge crowds turning up to watch.'

A freefall is similar to a bungee jump but instead of being tied by the ankle, participants are strapped in around their torso and jump from a height rather than diving headfirst.

Jay Z Films Beyoncé Jumping Off a Yacht During Vacation—Check It Out!

Singer jumped in without any hesitation.

Jay Z taped Beyoncé leaping off of a yacht on a vacation recently, and man do we have a serious case of FOMO.

Shortly before jumping, Bey looks a bit nervous, and you can hear Jay in the background shouting, "Team turn up!"

The "Holy Grail" rapper started a countdown for his wife as she nervously danced on the edge of the luxury boat.

Bey donned a black-and-white retro-inspired bikini during her day out on the water (and looked fierce, we might add).

PHOTOS: Blue Ivy, Beyoncé and Jay Z's cutest family photos

The "Drunk in Love" singer plunged into the water and held up the Roc hand signal (representing Roc-A-Fella, obvs) before fully coming to the surface.

Jay began laughing and shouted, "Nice!" upon seeing his leading lady.

The power couple was most recently spotted at a Brooklyn Nets basketball game together shortly after the Super Bowl.

Bey and Jay, who frequently are spotted courtside at home games, sat next to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson after his big win.

The three were seen laughing together as they watched the Nets beat the Philadelphia 76ers.

Yoncé rocked a matching plaid shirt and jacket with an adorable Eugenia Kim beanie that had mouse ears attached to it.

Meanwhile, Jay dressed down in a gray sweatshirt and T-shirt and sipped on white wine throughout the game.

Gotta love these two!

Power couple Beyoncé and Jay Z have been cruising the waters of the Mediterranean on board a $2.75 million-a-week superyacht.

The stars, who are estimated to be worth a combined $1.92 billion, celebrated Beyoncé’s 39th birthday aboard the incredible boat with their children, Blue Ivy, 8, and twins, Rumi and Sir, 3.

The Sun reports Beyonce and Jay-Z were spotted doting on their kids off the coast of Cavtat, Croatia.

They have been cruising around on the 106m long and 13m high luxurious yacht Lana for Beyoncé’s week-long birthday bonanza holiday.

Built by an Italian shipyard, Lana is one of the most impressive superyachts on the water.

Inside there are eight staterooms and one master suite, each with an ensuite and decorated in an individual colour scheme.

Lana also has plenty of entertainment to keep her VIP guests occupied during their stay.

There is a luxurious spa with treatment rooms to unwind and indulge, a well-equipped gym with professional trainers, a cinema room with an impressive audio system and an outdoor pool to savour sunny days.

The superyacht also has a unique Beach Club and two folding terraces, which offer all the state-of-the-art toys including jet skis, wakeboards, SEABOBs, waterskis, inflatable paddleboards and fishing equipment.

Lana can also host up to 34 crew to make sure the Knowles-Carter clan has their every need catered to.

The Crazy In Love hitmakers headed out on one of Lana’s speed boats during the seven-day jaunt in Croatia with their youngest two children.

The family protected themselves from coronavirus by wearing face masks when on dry land, with Beyoncé’s mask sporting a white-lined smile across it.

The break came after Beyoncé was recently spotted filming in the Hamptons and the release of her visual album, Black is King on Disney+.

The entertainer spoke about Black Is King in an interview with Good Morning America and revealed all the work that went into it.

She said: “It’s been a year in the making. I worked with a diverse group of very gifted directors, actors and creatives from all over the world to reimagine the story of The Lion King .

“The narrative story unfolds through music videos, fashion, dance, beautiful natural settings and raw, new talent.

“But it all started in my backyard. So, from my house to Johannesburg, to Ghana, to London, to Belgium, to the Grand Canyon. It was truly a journey to bring this film to life.”

It was Beyoncé’s first visual album since Lemonade in 2016, which topped many best albums list.

Did Jeff Bezos put a sculpture of his girlfriend on the bow of his new $500 million megayacht? You be the judge.

• A sculpture on Jeff Bezos' new $500 million megayacht has tongues wagging: Is it his girlfriend?
• Bezos and his girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez, were recently spotted on the yacht for the first time.
• The watercraft is named Koru, which is Māori for loop or coil and signifies new beginnings.

A sculpture on Jeff Bezos' new megayacht has people wondering whether it's his girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez .

The figurehead on the prow of the 417-foot watercraft shows a woman with long hair in a flowing dress, as seen in photos first published by the Daily Mail . She appears to be wearing a necklace that may feature the symbol for koru, which is the name of the ship. Koru means "loop" or "coil" in the Māori language and often signifies new beginnings.

Bezos and Sanchez, who went public with their relationship in 2019, were first spotted on the new $500 million superyacht earlier this week off the coast of Spain.

The vessel, believed to be the largest sailing yacht in the world, had a rocky road to completion. It caused an uproar when its Dutch shipmaker, Oceanco, requested that a historic bridge in Rotterdam in the Netherlands be dismantled for the yacht to pass because its masts were too tall to pass through underneath.

The 100-year-old Koningshaven Bridge, nicknamed "De Hef" by locals, had been renovated in 2017; after that, the city had vowed not to take it apart again, according to Dutch broadcaster Rijnmond .

Residents grew outraged and even threatened to egg the yacht if the bridge was dismantled, prompting Oceanco to withdraw its request and quietly tow away the yacht to another shipyard without its masts, which were installed later to avoid the clearance issue.

Koru was seen  doing sea trials , which are comprised of several tests and usually mark one of the last phases of construction, in February. The yacht made its maiden voyage in April when it left Oceanco's facilities to travel to Gibraltar on the way to Bezos.

Check out the photos of the yacht's figurehead on the Daily Mail .
