On board with Joey Kaempfer, owner of sailing yacht Rosehearty

London-based American retail developer and superyacht owner Joey Kaempfer tells Stewart Campbell about his “perfect boat”, how he haggled with Rupert Murdoch to buy her and his ambition to take on the world’s wildest seas...

Joey Kaempfer has always been an ideas man, even if some of those ideas have nearly got him killed. The homemade plywood boat he took out into the middle of a lake near his home in Connecticut, aged just eight, wasn’t one of his best (“Lifejackets? What lifejackets?”). Nor was the floating hot dog stand – “the Floating Frank” – which he had to commit some mild insurance fraud to operate (at 15 he was too young to appear on the insurance document so he got an older boy to sign it). Thankfully things have improved since then and his latest plan – to sail his 56 metre yacht Rosehearty to some of the world’s finest and trickiest cruising destinations – is one of his best. So, it turns out, was establishing McArthurGlen 25 years ago. The company has become Europe’s largest developer and owner of designer outlet parks, with 22 locations and annual sales of more than €4 billion.

We meet at the company’s headquarters in London, a city the American has called home since the 1990s, and he wastes no time in getting out the pictures from  Rosehearty’s  recent trip through the Northwest Passage  – making his boat one of the first large sailing superyachts to make it through.

The 69-year-old Kaempfer was keen to get up there before it became too busy. “I think in the next few years you’re going to see tankers going through there and 1,000ft container ships. It won’t be quite the same thing. And I always wanted to see Greenland.” To join him on the passage, he invited a group of close friends and hired a pair of guides and an ice pilot, bringing to 24 (including crew) the number of people who would spend a month navigating one of the world’s last superyachting frontiers.

The pictures, however, are missing one important thing: Kaempfer himself. The owner of the boat and organiser of the trip never made it through the Northwest Passage. After joining the yacht in Greenland, he received the tragic news that his beloved son Lucas had died suddenly of heart failure in New York. He was just 24. It’s clear father and son were close. Kaempfer even converted Rosehearty’s main deck office into a cabin for his son. “He loved it,” Kaempfer says. “It was up on deck. He got up early and went to bed late, like 24-year-olds do.” His voice cracks later as he tells the story of the watch he’s wearing, which he had made for Lucas and which bears his name in an inscription on the back. The watch rarely leaves his wrist.

Kaempfer doesn’t have to tell me any of this, but his candidness and generosity and the fact he insisted the trip through the Northwest Passage must continue in his absence are a huge part of his charm. For an adventure he didn’t take part in, he remains incredibly proud of it. Rosehearty’s captain, David “Hutch” Hutchison, blogged throughout the journey from Newport up to Greenland, and then into the passage proper in Canada. Rosehearty made it through the Bellot Strait in August 2016 before heading north and east around Somerset Island for the trip home, first back to Greenland and then, finally, the island of Vinalhaven off the coast of Maine, where Kaempfer has a home.

He grew up not a million miles from here, on Long Island Sound, Connecticut. His parents weren’t big sailors – “my father worked in New York and took the train in every day for 40 years until it killed him” – but he remembers always being drawn to the water, so much so he turned his hand at a very young age to boatbuilding. “The first boat was probably six feet long and the bottom would have been a piece of plywood and the sides would have been fibreboard. My friends and I painted it and then way too soon, when it was wet, we took it to the lake and poled our way out. Nobody was watching us and, of course, it instantly started disintegrating. Some mother in one of the houses saw us and started screaming. I was a strong swimmer and managed to get everyone to shore, but it was a complete disaster. At that point my parents gave in and bought me a rowboat,” he says.

He soon graduated to dinghy sailing and, at 15, bought a pontoon boat with the help of his parents to set up his summer business selling hot dogs. “I worked my ass off that summer. I had to hire an 18-year-old to get insurance through Lloyd’s of London, which ate the profits,” he recalls. “It didn’t make any money and I sold it at the end of the year and repaid my parents.”

His entrepreneurial streak was further honed at New York University and later at Harvard Business School, after which he entered the real estate business in Washington, DC. “I started out building houses. All those guys seemed like they were having a ball, but they weren’t. They were losing their hair and getting fat and divorced. So I decided I’d build office buildings and started my own company at 29. Our first building was 186,000 square feet. Boy did we learn a lot!”

In the 1980s Kaempfer was cruising to work in a cherry red Ferrari 288 GTO, riding a commercial real estate boom that made him one of the richest 40-year-olds in the US. But the recession of the early 1990s bit hard, forcing Kaempfer to start again almost from scratch. When the opportunity arose to move to Europe and introduce the American concept of out-of-town outlet malls, he jumped at the chance, settling in Little Venice in London with his then wife and two children, Lucas and Annie.

The only retail he’d been involved in to that point had been on the ground floor of his office buildings, so it represented a significant shift in focus. “We weren’t retailers. We were contractors and builders and office building managers, but the business has just grown gigantically. We have 600 employees here in London, plus 30,000 who work across our business elsewhere. Who knew? All this from a couple of little shopping centres,” he says. “This business is much more fun [than office building]. It’s alive, it’s dynamic and it’s entertaining – we’ve convinced 100 million people a year to travel half an hour to come and shop.”

As his businesses have grown, so have his boats. His first indulgence was a six metre sailing boat, which was quickly upgraded to an eight metre. “I kept it up in Maine and sailed it every day I was there, dragging my kids along, who were in sailing school,” Kaempfer recalls. A 17 metre Oyster came and went and, around 15 years ago, he bought the 21 metre Hinckley Sou’wester Avatar , renaming it Annalu after the children. “That was a beautiful boat,” he says fondly. The Hinckley was eventually sold and he chartered for a few years but maintained ownership with a gorgeous 11 metre Morris sailing yacht, which he still owns today and regularly sails single-handed along the Maine coast – “even at my advanced age!”

The opportunity to buy Rosehearty appeared at the 2013 Monaco Yacht Show . The elegant 56 metre Perini quickly became one of the most recognised boats on the water when it was launched in 2006, for that distinct white hull and the celebrity of her first owner, media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, who named the yacht after the small Scottish village that was home to his ancestors.

The deal was put together quickly after Kaempfer’s tour of the yacht in Monaco. “I knew I wanted a Perini,” he says. “As I was taken on board I thought it was very handsome and then I got in it and took one look at the Christian Liaigre-designed saloon and I thought ‘magnificent’. Rupert originally wanted an outrageous price but I finally got to a price where I thought I could spend a couple of extra million to have the boat I wanted.” The deal was done in just four months, with Kaempfer taking ownership in early 2014. “I ended up spending a lot more than two million. I mean a lot more! But I’ve got the perfect boat now.”

The refit was done at Perini but the boat was back at the yard in 2015 in preparation for the Northwest Passage – which meant replacing the flybridge cover with a new one that couldn’t be penetrated by ice falling off the rigging, fitting new super-strong lights for spotting icebergs and adding comprehensive night vision equipment.

On 3 July, Rosehearty left Vinalhaven for the passage to Greenland, where the party of guests joined the boat, Kaempfer included, at Nuuk, the capital. “It feels like the edge of the world,” he says. “Everyone is very nice, but not much English is spoken.” They cruised north, touring the epic fjords of this enormous Arctic island, visiting Kangerlussuaq, home of the glacier from which the infamous Titanic iceberg is thought to have calved, and Qassiarsuk, which was settled by Erik the Red at the turn of the last millennium.

Minus Kaempfer, the yacht then crossed Baffin Bay and entered Canada on 2 August, exiting just more than 20 days later after completing one of the greatest yachting adventures. It wasn’t without its perils, reports Hutch. At one point they were anchored in Creswell Bay on Somerset Island when the wind picked up. “We started seeing these little white specks, which suddenly became hundreds of ice blocks as the current increased. We had to get out of there quickly,” he says. A week after leaving Resolute, meanwhile, the sea became solid ice and utterly impassable. “So it’s still pretty weather dependent.” Keeping 24 people fed for a month in an area without any hope of provisioning meant the spa pool was pressed into use as food and drink storage. “We had a 5,000 litre cooler on deck,” the captain laughs, “cooled by ice hacked off icebergs.”

The owner of the yacht hasn’t given up on experiencing all this himself; Rosehearty will be heading back to the extreme north again. But before that, Kaempfer has had a few other ideas – good ones. Chile and Easter Island are on the list, as is a transpacific passage to Australia. “I want to do Antarctica and I want to do the Galápagos,” he adds, smiling. “I have an awful lot to do.”

Rupert Murdoch trennt sich von Luxusyacht „Rosehearty“

Fotos: cc by wikimedia/ David Shankbone

Im Jahr 2006 ließ sich der Medienmogul Rupert Murdoch von Perini Navi die Segelyacht „Rosehearty“ bauen. Wie bereits berichtet, konnte man das Schiff in letzter Zeit bereits für 200.000 Dollar die Woche chartern. Nun wurde bekannt, dass sich Murdoch kurz vor Weihnachten von der „Rosehearty“ getrennt hat.

Er selbst habe nach eigenen Angaben vor lauter Arbeit keine Zeit mehr, die Yacht ausreichend zu nutzen. Zudem habe sie in letzter Zeit vor allem seine Ex-Frau Wendi genutzt, von der sich Murdoch vor wenigen Monaten scheiden ließ. Die Trennung sei jedoch kein Grund für den Verkauf.

Das 56 Meter lange Schiff wurde von Designer Christian Liagre gestaltet und ist natürlich mit allem nur erdenklichen Luxus ausgestattet. Bis zu zwölf Gästen finden in fünf großzügigen Kabinen ausreichend Platz. Zwei VIP-Suiten bilden dabei das besondere Highlight. In allen Räumen finden sich Flatscreens. Zudem gibt es an Bord der „Rosehearty“ ein Büro und einen Fitnessraum. Der neue Besitzer zahlte für die Segelyacht 29,7 Millionen Dollar, umgerechnet rund 21,9 Millionen Euro.

Rupert Murdoch Sells Rosehearty Yacht For $29.7 Million

Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch has sold his stunning yacht, named Rosehearty, for a staggering $29.7 million. The 138 feet long yacht with an interior design by Christian Liagre features 5 guest cabins, a dining room, gym and a multi-media room. Water skis and full sets of diving gear were also included in the sale.

Rupert put the sailing yacht up for sale three months after filing for divorce from his ex-wife Wendi Deng, a frequent traveler of the vessel. However, that didn’t influence the sale, as one yacht broker told CNBC : “Rupert works all the time. He loves the boat, he loves to sail, but he doesn’t really use it much.”

The yacht was sold over Christmas by Alex Lees-Buckley in Monoco’s Camper & Nicholsons office. The identity of the buyer is undisclosed.

The yacht was built in 2006 by Perini Navi, the shipyard based in Viareggio, Italy, known for crafting bespoke luxury yachts.

You can see the listing here , at Camper & Nicholsons International, a yacht broker and charter company. Camper declined to comment on the seller or the reasons for the sale. A spokesperson for Murdoch confirmed the listing.

Yacht brokers said Murdoch had not been spending much time on the vessel in recent years and that Wendi had been using it more often. A person close to Murdoch said the reason for the sale was not related to the divorce.

"Rupert works all the time," one broker said. "He loves the boat, he loves to sail, but he doesn't really use it much."

The yacht was built in 2006 by Perini Navi, the Italian shipyard known for its luxurious, sleek sailing yachts. Rosehearty has a crisp, modern interior by French designer Christian Liaigre, with five suites for 10 guests, including two VIP suites. The main mast of the yacht towers at 193 feet, and it has a sail area of 16,792 square feet.

The boat also has lots of "toys," including water skis, a wakeboard and full sets of diving gear. The deck features a large Jacuzzi.

It's fully equipped for a media mogul, with wireless Internet and plenty of plasma televisions in the cabins.

Rupert Murdoch Sells His Super Stylish $29.7M Sailing Superyacht

Embattled media mogul Rupert Murdoch has sold his sailing superyacht, listed for $29.7M just a few short months after he filed for divorce from his much younger wife, Wendi Deng. The 184-foot Rosehearty is one of the 25 largest sailing yachts in the world. It was custom built by Perini Navi , the Italian boatyard famous for the Maltese Falcon , for Murdoch in 2006. But what makes it one of the world’s coolest luxury yachts is the interior décor by Christian Liaigre, the famed French interior designer known for ultra-luxe minimalist chic aesthetic, whose A-list clients include Valentino, Karl Lagerfeld and Calvin Klein.

The sale of the yacht was completed shortly before Christmas by Alex Lees-Buckley, a broker in the Monaco office of Camper & Nicholsons, which has been “producing and managing yachts for the world’s richest people” since 1782, the London Telegraph reports. The identity of the buyer and the sale price are as yet undisclosed. With luxurious accommodation for up to 12 guests, Rosehearty is equipped with wireless internet and plasma televisions in every cabin. In 2008 future British Prime Minister David Cameron held private talks and attended parties with Murdoch on the yacht, which also features a large Jacuzzi on the deck.

”BOOTE EXCLUSIV”-Ranking : Die größten Segelyachten der Welt – Plätze 76-100

Sören Gehlhaus

, Uske Berndt

 ·  30.08.2023

• Hier geht es zu den Plätzen 75 bis 51
• Hier geht es zu den Plätzen 50 bis 26
• Hier geht es zu den Plätzen 25 bis 1

Zwei Jahre nach dem letzten Top-200-Ranking stehen sie wieder fest: die 200 größten Segelyachten der Welt. Auf den ersten Blick hat sich bei den Platzierungen nur wenig geändert, ein Großteil der Yachten sicherte sich eine ähnliche Position wie 2021. „Nativa“ (48 Meter) zum Beispiel rangierte zuletzt auf Platz 98 und ist nun auf 101 gerutscht. Bei den Segelyachten passiert längst nicht so viel wie bei den Motoryachten. Dennoch sind zwölf Neuzugänge zu verzeichnen, davon entfallen aber nur fünf auf die Top 100.

Unter den neuen Segelyachten in den Top 100 finden sich auch zwei Motorsegler aus Kroatien. „Clase Azul“ sowie „Anima Maris“ rangieren knapp jenseits der 48 Meter und verteilen sich auf die Plätze 95 und 98. Entwickelt und gebaut wurden sie mit dem Ziel, Chartergäste stilvoll durch die Adria zu bewegen.

Das legendäre Schiff von Hans Hass und Rupert Murdochs Hochzeits-Yacht

Eine der ältesten Segelyachten im Ranking ist die “Xarifa 1927” auf Platz 87. Sie segelte schon als „Radiant“ oder „Georgette“. Der Dreimaster entstand für den Nähmaschinenhersteller Singer. Doch erst die Törns mit dem Meeresforscher Hans Hass machten sie bekannt. Der Hai-Experte verkaufte sie 1960 an den Coca-Cola-Lizenzinhaber Carlo Traglio, der sie wieder in eine Rennyacht verwandelte. Nach dessen Tod ging „Xarifa“ 2013 an einen spanischen Großindustriellen.

Das Schiff auf Platz 96 war schon oft Gegenstand von Klatsch in der High Society: Der amerikanische Medien-Mogul Rupert Murdoch bestellte „Morning Glory“ und ließt sie in Italien bauen. 1999 bildete die Flybridge­-Ketsch eine romantische Kulisse für seine Hochzeit im Hafen von New York. Trotzdem trennte sich Murdoch im Jahr 2004 von der Stahl-Alu-Yacht und nahm zwei Jahre später ein deutlich längeres Projekt in Empfang: die 56 Meter lange „Rosehearty“ (Platz 45). Auf der Eignerliste stand nun angeblich auch der kürzlich verstorbene Silvio Berlusconi, der die Yacht jedoch 2020 wieder anbot und an einen Landsmann veräußerte. Infolgedessen verbrachte sie 2021 für ihr Zehnjahres-Refit einige Zeit in den Hallen der italienischen Lusben-Werft, die sie mit einem neuen Rumpf-Anstrich in Marineblau sowie einem aufgefrischten Teakdeck wieder verließ.

Alle Segelyachten auf den Plätzen 100 bis 76 und ihre Geschichten gibt es oben in der Galerie zu sehen!

Rupert Murdoch verkauft seine Superyacht für $29.7M

Medienmogul und Self-Made Milliardär Rupert Murdoch trennt sich derzeit von seinen Schätzen. Erst vor wenigen Monaten ließ er sich von seiner viel jüngeren Ehefrau Wendi Deng scheiden. Nun verkauft er seine 56m (184-foot) Megayacht für einen stolzen Preis von $29.7 Millionen. Vermutlich haben die beiden Trennungen nichts miteinander zu tun und mit Sicherheit wird es auch nicht an Rupert’s Geldnot liegen, dass er nun seine Superyacht mit der Namen Rosehearty zum Verkauf anbietet.

Der schwimmende Traum ist eine der 25 größten Yachten auf der Welt und wurde 2006 speziell für Rupert Murdoch von der italienischen Werft Perini Navi gebaut. Die Superyacht verfügt über ein exklusives Interiordesign vom franzöischen Innenausstatter Christian Liaigre. Zu seinen Kunden zählen unter anderem auch Persönlichkeiten wie Valentino, Karl Lagerfeld und Calvin Klein .

For easy access to the ocean, the portside door and swim platform on the main deck provide a seamless and convenient gateway from the yacht to the open waters.
