Ten NSW Police officers traversed 8m seas in a nearly 80-hour mission to pull the men from their sinking yacht after severe weather damaged their yacht hundreds of kilometres from land in September 2022.

More than a year later, the team has been awarded the Australian National Search and Rescue Award during a ceremony in Hobart on Thursday.

John McEnallay, 74, and Keith Turner, 70, were plucked from the sea by NSW Police patrol boat Nemesis after their yacht Aviva was damaged in severe weather, stranding them about 330km east of Lord Howe Island.

The pair were sailing from New Zealand to Moreton Bay north of Brisbane when a storm hit in the early hours of September 5.

After activating an emergency beacon, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority initially responded with its Melbourne-based challenger rescue aircraft, along with an Australian Defence Force aircraft.

But the vessel's location at a distance of 1100km northeast of Sydney required a different sort of retrieval mission.

The Nemesis, with its crew of 10, was deployed to pull off the perilous rescue.

Police search and rescue co-ordinator Ryan Spong said the operation was a test for the vessel, which was usually tasked with deterring drug traffickers.

"It's really at the extremity of our capabilities in terms of this vessel, but well, once we knew they were in distress there weren't many other assets that could assist," he said at the time.

Speaking to ABC Radio on Friday, Sergeant Spong said the waves were "up around the 4m mark" when the crew arrived at the sinking yacht.

Nemesis and the two rescued sailors arrived in Sydney on the afternoon of September 8.

NSW Police said it was the longest offshore maritime rescue operation by any Australian water police unit.

It took 35 hours to reach the two men for the retrieval mission before the rescue and return to shore.

Marine Area Command Superintendent Joe McNulty said the rescue was extremely challenging.

"The crew were faced with not only a rough swell and darkness but also the very real danger of ropes and cabling from the yacht becoming entangled in the propeller of the tender," he said.

"But the biggest reward for them was that they were able to return these two men safely to their families."

The Aviva was unable to be recovered and sits at the bottom of the Tasman Sea.

Two men rescued from damaged yacht in Tasman Sea

Two sailors have been rescued from a damaged yacht in the Tasman Sea.

The duo, in their 70s, were believed to be sailing from New Zealand to Australia on the sailing vessel named Aviva.

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) coordinated the rescue of the two crew members from the 14.2m boat, 300km east of Lord Howe Island.

Several Royal Australian Air Force planes  joined the search  for the men yesterday after an emergency locator beacon was activated on Monday morning.

AMSA also diverted two merchant vessels, the Liberian chemical tanker Ionic Artemis and Marshall Island bulk carrier Fairchem Aldebaran, to assist if required, until the arrival of the New South Wales Police vessel Nemesis.

It was reported the Aviva had encountered severe weather with 10m seas and high winds resulting in damage and water ingress.

The Nemesis arrived at the scene at 11pm last night and rescued the two crew members.

They are now safe on board the Nemesis which is returning to Sydney, via Lord Howe Island.

According to the MarineTraffic website, Aviva left Whangārei on August 27.

Marine safety authorities have launched a rescue mission for two Australian men who have been stranded on a yacht in the Tasman Sea for almost 36 hours after severe weather caused the vessel to take on a large amount of water.

The pair, aged in their 70s, were travelling from New Zealand to Australia when they were hit by severe weather including 10m seas and high winds, near Lord Howe Island .

A family member alerted the Australian Maritime Safety Authority about 3am on Monday saying the yacht had sustained damage to its steering and was taking on water.

The men set off an emergency beacon about 5am, Amsa said in a statement.

“The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (Amsa) has been coordinating the rescue of two New Zealand crew members from a 14.2m sailing vessel currently 164nm (305km) East of Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea,” the statement read.

“Amsa’s has responded its Melbourne-based challenger rescue aircraft along with multiple Royal Australian Air Force aircraft which have been overhead since yesterday.

“Amsa has been in contact throughout with the crew and their family and all are in good spirits.”

The NSW police vessel Nemesis and two merchant vessels were en route but were not expected to reach them until 11pm on Tuesday evening, Amsa said.

Two sailors rescued in Tasman Sea

Posted by Abby Williams | 7th September, 2022

TWO sailors have now been rescued from a yacht battling severe weather in the Tasman Sea.

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority co-ordinated the rescue with assistance from the Royal Australian Airforce and NSW Police.

Two merchant vessels were also diverted to assist if required.

AMSA was advised by a family member of the crew that the yacht, Aviva, had been damaged and began taking on water when it encountered 10-metre seas and high winds in the Tasman Sea.

The two crewmembers on board, understood to be aged in their 70s, activated an emergency beacon at around 0500 on Monday morning.

“AMSA responded with its Melbourne-based challenger rescue aircraft which established radio communication with the crew on board the vessel,” AMSA said in an update.

“The Australian Defence Force responded with multiple RAAF aircraft, to ensure continued communication and observation of the vessel.”

By Tuesday afternoon, the vessel was around 164 nautical miles east of Lord Howe Island, and NSW Police vessel Nemesis was en route to the vessel.

AMSA also diverted two merchant vessels, Liberian-flagged chemical tanker Ionic Artemis and Marshall Island-flagged bulk carrier Fairchem Aldebaran to assist if required until Nemesis arrived.

“The Nemesis arrived at the scene at 11pm last night and rescued the two crew members,” AMSA said.

“They are now safe on board the Nemesis which is returning to Sydney, via Lord Howe Island.

“AMSA would like to thank the NSW Police vessel Nemesis , the merchant vessels Ionic Artemis and Fairchem Aldebaran , and the Australian Defence Force for their assistance with the rescue.”

A major operation is underway to rescue two sailors after their damaged boat, Aviva, began taking in water in the Tasman Sea.

The two men in their 70s were believed to be sailing from New Zealand to Australia.

Multiple Royal Air Force airplanes joined the search for the men after an emergency locator beacon was activated about 5am local time yesterday.

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) said the 14.2m sailing vessel was around 305km east of Australia's Lord Howe Island.

A family member told the authority the boat's steering had been damaged and it had begun taking on water following severe weather, including 10m waves and high winds.

According to the MarineTraffic website, Aviva left Whangārei on August 27.

AMSA has sent its Melbourne-based challenger rescue aircraft along with multiple Royal Australian Air Force aircraft which have been overhead since yesterday.

Two merchant vessels were also en route but were not expected to reach the area until this afternoon and evening, AMSA said in a statement.

A spokesperson for the New South Wales police said the police vessel Nemesis was en route to the boat.

"There are believed to be two men aged in their 70s onboard and police have been told they were travelling from NZ to Australia."

*An earlier version of this story said the crew members were New Zealanders. This was based on incorrect information supplied by AMSA.

Aviva: Inside the 98.4m Abeking & Rasmussen flagship yacht

The owner of Aviva challenged his design team to build a yacht around a padel tennis court — and 98m, 4,966GT and a mere three years later, she was launched.

She’s big — let’s get that out of the way. At 98.4 metres,  Aviva  became the 46th longest yacht in the world when she was delivered by  Abeking & Rasmussen  in 2017, and there are very few boats of her length that can match her for volume.

Her 17.24 metre beam is so generous that the designers pulled in the bridge deck superstructure to add side decks — improving crew circulation and refining the profile — because “we just didn’t need that much beam”.

They were right: spaces on board are magnificently expansive, from guest suites the size of the master suite on a 50 metre to an owner’s wardrobe that is, designer Andrew Langton notes quite seriously, “bigger than my house in France”. The fact that scale sits fairly low down on the list of Aviva ’s extraordinary features speaks to the imagination and belief-beggaring ambition of this project.

Aviva is the third yacht of her name delivered to owner Joe Lewis, British businessman and major shareholder in Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. The first, a 62 metre Winch design, was built at Feadship in the Netherlands; the second, a 68 metre Reymond Langton design , at Abeking & Rasmussen on the banks of the Weser river in Lemwerder, near Bremen.

For his grandest project yet Lewis returned to Abeking. “They were, surprisingly, much less conservative than other people. Maybe it’s because of the military stuff they do,” says Toby Silverton, head of design on the project, working with Reymond Langton, and who was also involved in Lewis’s two previous projects.

The yard’s biggest project had been 82.48 metre Secret and to take on Aviva it extended its build shed to accommodate yachts of up to 125 metres — a bold move into a larger size category. And its courage didn’t end there.

“Build a big yacht around a padel tennis court was the main brief, I guess,” says the yard’s project manager Andreas Hering, with admirable understatement. “In three years.”

• How 74.5m Abeking & Rasmussen Elandess sprang from a blank sheet of paper

A project of this size might easily take five years, even if the yard already had a shed big enough for the purpose. And this was a highly unusual project. Design was accelerated too: the complex interior was penned in six months, when they would have liked a year; and the exterior in just one month, when it might more comfortably have taken six.

Knowing that makes Aviva ’s elegant profile even more impressive. “There was a lot of work to [visually] break up the mass, using facets,” says Langton. “We also tried to keep the lines long, so the sheer line is very long and jumps up forward with a clean line.”

They also minimised the details that act as size references, to disguise the scale. Rub rails are eliminated, stanchions replaced with glass, crew quarters windows are grouped to create long lines of glazing and even the anchor pocket has been elongated and disguised, lest a little square of gleaming stainless gives the game away.

Some upright elements of the silver superstructure were also picked out in a darker shade. “They disappear a bit, which makes the slope of the boat more raked,” says Langton.

The long bow adds to the effect, but the aesthetic is the beneficiary of a practical decision: this boat will roam far and the long covered bow makes it likely to survive the kind of rogue waves that have battered a few cruise ships over the years.

“I talked to the captain of the QE2 who went through a wave, and what happens is all the wheelhouse windows smash, they had four foot of water, you then lose all your instruments and they had no ability to control the boat, communicate or navigate,” says Silverton.

To strengthen Aviva he added extra watertight doors and armoured the two forward VIP cabins and superyacht wheelhouse so that they could be sealed off to save the boat. “You can lose everything on the bridge and you can still navigate and control the boat from the engine room,” he says.

Apart from safety, the main aim of the naval architecture was stability. Before the build of Lewis’s second Aviva , Silverton had been frustrated by a lack of data on how rolling motion affects passengers, so he put 36 people in a motion simulator for three days.

“There’s two things: one is the period of roll and the second is the way it rolls,” he says. “The typical roll period of the 62 metre would be around 7.5-7.8 seconds, one of two roll periods people were particularly upset by. And we found that if it was a soft stop and then a soft movement away again, people were much more tolerant of it.”

The design of the second boat addressed those concerns and the new Aviva ’s hull — patent pending — is an evolution of that. It has a nipped in “waist” which bulges back out below the waterline. This both slows and softens the roll. Her near-vertical bow and narrow sailing boat-like stern (which helps reduce pitching) also aid efficiency.

So much so that they were able to go down two engine sizes from the original spec (she has two MTU 16V4000 M73Ls, which put out 2,880kW each) and still hit 20.3 knots in sea trials. Silverton notes that she runs most comfortably at a zippy 16.5 knots, despite an official cruising speed of 14 knots.

Supplementary electric motors offer smooth manoeuvring and silent 11 knot running at night, while extra solidity comes from MAGLift stabilisers aft and one pair of fin stabilisers forward.

But it is the padel tennis court that lies literally and metaphorically at the heart of this project. This high intensity squash-tennis hybrid is a daily routine for Lewis and his explorations with his previous yachts had been limited to destinations with courts.

“The original idea I had was to put it on the aft end main deck and have folding panels and sliding walls,” says Langton. “It never even entered my head to put it inside, because it’s so big.”

Not only would putting the court at the back have made for a profile that Langton likens to a pick-up truck, but Silverton notes that the court would not have been playable at main-deck level. “You’re way above the roll centre, so it’s moving sideways – humans can’t cope with sideways movement of the ground,” says Silverton. “So we looked at putting it as low down as possible.”

Achieving such a large area in that position was an engineering feat but the results are spectacular. Its dimensions short-circuit spatial understanding — it seems impossible that this towering 6.65 metre tall space could be accommodated in Aviva ’s profile.

But it is, and it functions beautifully. “We’re running along at 19 knots, white horses everywhere, and they’re downstairs playing padel having no idea that there’s any sea at all,” says Silverton.

This sort of intelligent ambition has transformed every space on board into something special. “The owner has been in many businesses – hospitality, hotels – so he really understands how spaces work,” says Silverton.

Apart from strategically placed pantries and concealed crew entrances, there are three massive dumb waiters, a lower deck entrance for loading supplies, a dedicated crew galley and much more. The final GA was version 57.

On the more glamorous side of this equation, the upper saloon is a highly functional family room that’s comfortable, bright and airy. The sofas are extra squashy, and there’s a games table as well as a sculptural Bogányi piano.

The head height is 2.6 metres and nine metres of openable full-height windows run along each side of the room – with balconies. Rather than the usual glass, doors to the aft deck are leather clad, making the room feel more private. In fine weather, with those doors open, glass panels slide out to surround the aft deck dining area, creating one long, protected inside/outside space.

Designing such a huge area without pillars for support was a challenge and the corners are, says Hering, packed with extra structure. “Also, in the ceiling, all the girders are very thick because the unsupported length is just enormous.”

In contrast to this space, the main saloon below is a glamorous introduction to Aviva , up the sweeping superyacht staircase from the swim platform and inside to take in starry pieces from the owner’s art collection from a round of sunken seating. Adding a dash of intrigue there’s a secret cinema forward of the space, behind a hidden door.

The master suite is in the nose of the main deck rather than higher up, for extra stability. It stretches from a full-beam cabin to a massive bathroom centred with a monolithic Corian bathtub (there’s a spa just aft of the cabin for even more serious pampering), to a wardrobe-cum-dressing room of spectacular scale and glamour, inspired by Chanel boutiques.

But while some spaces are grand in scale, others are decidedly intimate. Rather than a dining saloon, there are two art-filled “bistros” on board for cosy meals, and many other small dining areas elsewhere. The owner’s bridge deck office is also modestly proportioned, with a conference room next door for larger meetings.

In terms of interior style, the owner’s brief was for something revolutionary. “He didn’t want anything to be symmetrical, it had to be curvy or organic,” says Langton. “He wanted it to be very different. No wood, nothing traditional.”

From the furniture and fittings to walls and overheads, there is barely a straight line on this boat. That was no mean feat for Abeking & Rasmussen’s outfitter Rodiek, which, as well as building most of the yacht’s bespoke furniture in organic forms, produced undulating wall panels from high density CNC-milled foam. “Five or ten years ago this was only used to do models or moulds for the car industry. It is very expensive,” says Langton.

It is, however, perfect for creating curves. “For this boat we decided to use a lot of new materials, even for the base materials, because of the big curved ceiling spaces,” says Hilmar Westermeyer, COO of Rodiek, who had to buy a new CNC milling machine for the project. Rodiek works only for Abeking & Rasmussen (and vice versa) in a symbiotic relationship.

In terms of the interior styling, the ethos was love it or lose it — at least visually. “This door disappears when it is closed and becomes part of the wall,” says Langton in one of the forward VIPs, swinging it to the latch, where its undulations perfectly meet those on the wall. “You either make a door a feature, make it beautiful, or you make it disappear.” The same goes for handles: those on wardrobes are invisible, but ones used on cabin doors are gnarled and textural, incorporated into a cracked bronze plate “like desert clay”.

“Because we’ve not used any wood, basically the whole interior is a mixture of leather and lacquer, it’s really almost tailored.” Take the artfully stitched cream leather of window frames, or the iridescent shot silk that runs down the broad main deck corridor, printed with a bespoke cartographical motif.

A neutral palette is enriched with precious materials: sunset-toned onyx, vanilla marble, shagreen, shimmering leathers. There are glossy panels dripping with resin and acrylic by Alex Turco in the lobby, and panels of velvet mottled with gold, by Sabina Fay Braxton, above guest beds. Staircases are works of art; one with floating treads like turbine blades, another a leather and glass form that spirals up from the floor.

This interior — where, as Langton puts it, almost every surface has “richness and form” – melts into the deck spaces via visual tricks: organic patterns in the Esthec decking that continue in the interior carpets; or the bar that is half in the main saloon and half on the aft deck, a mirror image joining the two spaces.

The superyacht sundeck is the exterior equivalent of the upper saloon — a comfortable family lounge. This massive space, with sunshine yellow upholstery, runs from a shaded central area for dining, with a projector for movie nights, to an aft sunbathing area with sunpads (with a wedge shape to sit as well as lie) and another forward around a spa pool, set low against a glass windbreak for spectacular views.

This forward end is a cosy space like so many on board. It’s that understanding of usable, enjoyable spaces, of human scale, human comfort and passions that makes Aviva a truly grand design. Those 98 metres just help pack it all on board.

Two people rescued after 12-metre yacht got caught in 'harrowing' conditions off NSW coast near Port Macquarie

A Marine Rescue Commander has revealed the story of how two people were rescued after their 12-metre yacht got caught in "harrowing" conditions off the NSW coast, where wind gusts reached more than 100km/hr.

Two people have been rescued after their 12-metre yacht got caught in treacherous conditions at sea off the New South Wales Mid North Coast. 

The vessel was about five nautical miles north-east of Port Macquarie on Monday evening when it ran into trouble due to an extreme swell and wind gusts of more than 100km/hr. 

Volunteers from Marine Rescue Port Macquarie received a radio call just for help just before 8pm from the yacht's skipper.

Marine Rescue Port Macquarie Unit Commander Greg Davies revealed on Monday how the safety mission unfolded overnight. 

He said the disabled vessel lost its steering ability and boom - a pole extending from the base of the mast that is essential for controlling the angle and shape of the sail.

The yacht later lost its motor, and radio and mobile communications. 

"The conditions were harrowing on the water," Mr Davies said in a statement on Tuesday.

"The wind was gusting at 57 knots (105 km/h) and there was a four to five metre swell."

Len Smart, the skipper of the "Port Macquarie 30" vessel that was used in the rescue mission, along with four crew members secured a towline to the disabled yacht. 

"Waves were breaking over both vessels and there were visibility issues but the Marine Rescue crew worked really hard and did a brilliant job in very challenging conditions," Mr Davies said.

David Withers, Bruce Lee, Michael Ranson-Smith and Warren Gowing were the volunteers onboard the first rescue vessel. 

Mr Davies highlighted the role of Marine Rescue's Port Macquarie radio operator Brooke Mason who played an "integral" part in the mission to save the two boaters. 

"With the disabled vessel losing both its radio and mobile communications, Brooke stayed calm and in control to provide important support to the rescue crew," Mr Davies said.

Another rescue boat, "Port Macquarie 21", was sent to the scene to monitor its fellow marine vessel as it towed the disabled yacht through shallow sand bars in the ocean.  

Mr Davies said "thankfully" the bar crossing went to to plan, despite the challenging conditions and towline being under stress. 

Skipper Ray Angel also assisted in the rescue efforts. 

The two people on the yacht were safely returned to the public mooring on Hastings River just after 1.30am on Tuesday. 

"It was slow going coming back to Port Macquarie," Mr Davies said.

"I am extremely proud of the crew, they handled the conditions very well," Mr Davies said.

Port Macquarie Marine Rescue volunteers checked in with the two boaters on Tuesday morning to follow up on their welfare.

Real Life Emergency In Tasman Sea results in rescue Mission with Satellite Phone

Tasman Sea: what happening as rescue mission launched for two Australian sailors trapped on damaged yacht.

Email from Judie McEnallay -Wife of Rescued Sailor to Rent A Satphone. 

Not sure whether you've seen the Tasman rescue unfolding on the news but unfortunately that is my husband and our yacht Aviva. They are now both safe and well aboard the Police Vessel Nemesis en route to Sydney and expected late tonight. The sat phone is intact and I will return tomorrow.

I just wanted to let you know what a lifeline it was to have this with the boys. They were still able to contact us throughout their ordeal and I was able to pass on vital information to AMSA. If you want to get some publicity for your company, we will be happy to provide some praise for your excellent service.

Kind regards

Judie McEnallay

Report from nationalworld.com A rescue mission  is underway in the Tasman Sea after two Australian sailors and their yacht ran into trouble.

The pair, who are both aged in their 70s, were sailing from  New Zealand  to Australia  when they ran into stormy weather and have been stranded off the coast of Australia’s Lord Howe Island for almost 36 hours. 

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) are working hard to bring them to safety.  ASMA has reassured the public that it is providing “overhead visual reassurance”. Here’s everything you need to know about the rescue mission and what has happened to their yacht.

What happened in the Tasman Sea?

Two sailors, who are believed to be from Australia, have gotten into difficulty in the Tasman Sea. The pair, who are both in their 70s, were travelling on a 14.2 metre yacht, which is named Aviva. Severe weather hit the area during the early house of Monday (September 5) morning, with storm surges and 10 metre high seas battering their yacht.

The ASMA’s Response Centre was alerted to the incident at 3am Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), by a family member who had been contacted by the pair and been told their boat had suffered damage to its steering and was taking in water.

Crew awarded for record-breaking marine rescue mission

The crew that rescued two sailors stranded in the Tasman Sea in Australia's longest ever offshore rescue mission have been recognised for their bravery.

Ten NSW Police officers traversed 8m seas in a nearly 80-hour mission to pull the men from their sinking yacht after severe weather damaged their yacht hundreds of kilometres from land in September 2022.

More than a year later, the team has been awarded the Australian National Search and Rescue Award during a ceremony in Hobart on Thursday.

John McEnallay, 74, and Keith Turner, 70, were plucked from the sea by NSW Police patrol boat Nemesis after their yacht Aviva was damaged in severe weather, stranding them about 330km east of Lord Howe Island.

The pair were sailing from New Zealand to Moreton Bay north of Brisbane when a storm hit in the early hours of September 5.

After activating an emergency beacon, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority initially responded with its Melbourne-based challenger rescue aircraft, along with an Australian Defence Force aircraft.

But the vessel's location at a distance of 1100km northeast of Sydney required a different sort of retrieval mission.

The Nemesis, with its crew of 10, was deployed to pull off the perilous rescue.

Police search and rescue co-ordinator Ryan Spong said the operation was a test for the vessel, which was usually tasked with deterring drug traffickers.

"It's really at the extremity of our capabilities in terms of this vessel, but well, once we knew they were in distress there weren't many other assets that could assist," he said at the time.

Speaking to ABC Radio on Friday, Sergeant Spong said the waves were "up around the 4m mark" when the crew arrived at the sinking yacht.

Nemesis and the two rescued sailors arrived in Sydney on the afternoon of September 8.

NSW Police said it was the longest offshore maritime rescue operation by any Australian water police unit.

It took 35 hours to reach the two men for the retrieval mission before the rescue and return to shore.

Marine Area Command Superintendent Joe McNulty said the rescue was extremely challenging.

"The crew were faced with not only a rough swell and darkness but also the very real danger of ropes and cabling from the yacht becoming entangled in the propeller of the tender," he said.

"But the biggest reward for them was that they were able to return these two men safely to their families."

The Aviva was unable to be recovered and sits at the bottom of the Tasman Sea.

Lifeboat rescues man found clinging to boat after yacht bursts into flames in Poole

• HM Coastguard
• Sunday 14 April 2024 at 3:16pm

A man's been rescued from Poole harbour after his yacht was destroyed by fire.

The alarm was raised at around 10.30pm on Saturday when the blazing boat was spotted off Lake Road slipway.

The Coastguard and Poole lifeboat worked together to rescue a man who had jumped from the 24ft vessel and swum to another boat.

He was found clinging on, very cold and needing oxygen.

The casualty confirmed he was the only person on board and was taken ashore and transferred to hospital.

An investigation is underway to establish the cause of the fire.

Your Insider’s Guide to the Aviva Yacht

The Aviva Yacht was built in 2017 by German shipyard  Abeking & Rasmussen. The yacht’s interior design was styled by British design house Reymond Langton Design. Outside, the exterior design was handled by Reymond Langton Design. The yacht features a steel hull, aluminum superstructure, and composite decks.

One of the most unique features of the Aviva Yacht is the enormous gymnasium space that is part of its design. While many yachts have a workout gym area, Aviva has a full court that can be converted to play several sports or activities. Even at full speed, the court has been designed and stabilized so guests can play a game without the yacht’s motion causing any disturbance.

Who is the Aviva Yacht Owner? 

British businessman Joe Lewis owns Aviva. He is the majority owner of the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur football club and is known for currency trading. His net worth is above $4 billion, and his art collection alone is worth $1 billion.

This version of the Aviva is the fourth yacht called Aviva that Lewis has owned. His previous third yacht was 223 feet long and built for him in 2007. It’s been said that Lewis uses this yacht as a floating office and spends most of his time here.

How Much Did the Yacht Aviva Cost?

Lewis is believed to have paid $250 million for the Aviva in 2017. The annual cost of running the yacht is believed to be between $15 million and $25 million. This would cover things like salary for the 35 crew members, fuel, taxes, and other expenses. This means that while the Aviva is not one of the most expensive yachts in the world, it’s still quite impressive.

Can You Charter the Aviva Yacht?

Unlike some similar yachts, it does not appear that Aviva is available for charter. 

How Big is the Aviva Yacht?

Aviva qualifies as a superyacht at a respectable 98.4 m or 322’10”. That’s not in the running for one of the largest yachts in the world, but when she debuted in 2017, she was the 47th largest yacht at the time. In addition to the notable length, she features a nearly 57-foot beam and a gross tonnage of 4,999

How Fast Does the Aviva Go and What Engines Does It Use?

Aviva features twin diesel-electric MTU (16V 4000 M73L) 16-cylinder 3,862hp engines. The cruising speed is 14 knots, but she can reach a maximum speed of 20 knots. A 364,705-liter fuel tank gives her a range of up to 6,000 nautical miles at 13 knots.

The yacht runs a hybrid drive system, which means it can get up to 11 knots of electric power before switching to the main engines.

What’s the Interior of the Motor Yacht Aviva Like?

As you saw from the large beam and length, there’s a lot of space to work with on the Aviva. The vessel has room for 16 guests in 8 suites, including a huge master suite. Lewis is said to live full-time on this yacht, so it needs to have all the amenities of a home that the billionaire would require. That said, because it is the man’s home, there are only limited details about the yacht’s features and what it looks like inside. 

The Master suite is said to be larger than most houses and is located at the nose of the main deck. The large bathroom features a monolithic Corian bathtub, and there’s a spa just aft of the cabin where additional relaxation treatments can be enjoyed. The owner’s suite even features a wardrobe/dressing room inspired by Chanel boutiques and is more significant than most cabins on other yachts. 

The interior aesthetic is meant to be organic with soft, curving lines. The design has no symmetry, and this was done on purpose. Lewis didn’t want his yacht to have a traditional look and feel. As a result, you won’t even find wood accents throughout the yacht, as he thought those were too standard in the yachting world, and he wanted a different feel. 

Straight lines are tough to come by on the yacht, even in the furniture. Nothing is designed to be square and stationary, which likely challenged the design team.

The result of this flowing, organic design is that many materials on board are unique in the yachting world. Walls were designed with high-density CNC-milled foam, the same stuff the auto industry uses to create molds for new car designs. 

Features and Amenities

• Huge lounge area highlighted with yellow and turquoise accents
• Jacuzzi tub on the deck
• Spa facilities
• Aviva features a full size 20 meters x 10 meters x 6.65 meters paddle tennis court
• The padel tennis net can be removed, and the large court is suitable for playing soccer or setting up gym equipment. The Aviva is the first yacht in the world to have such a court on board.
• A full-size piano in one of the internal lounge areas
• Guests can navigate the vessel thanks to an elevator that passes between decks
• A fully equipped gym, in addition to the paddle tennis court, ensures guests can get in a solid workout
• The aft deck dining area features leather-clad doors that add privacy and reduce noise. These can be opened to let glass panels slide out instead in sunny weather
• A large beach club is available for relaxing
• The yacht is said to have a “hidden” cinema
• The main salon features full-height windows and balconies
• The guest rooms are as big as a typical master suite would be
• Instead of large dining areas, there are a series of smaller ones. The two main dining spaces are called bistros and feature samplings of the owner’s art while allowing for smaller, more intimate dinners than one might have in a large dining hall. 

While there are photos that sometimes show off what appears to be a tender garage on the side of the yacht along with a swimming platform, the complete list of toys that may be present on board is not known. While it’s safe to say at least one tender is available, anything else would be speculation. 

The Bottom Line

British businessman Joe Lewis owns the yacht Aviva, and he’s had several other vessels of the same name. It’s believed Lewis paid about $250 million for the 322′ superyacht though some sources will cite a different amount (potentially due to confusion with his previous Aviva yacht, which was smaller).

The standout feature of the Aviva is the full-sized paddle tennis indoor court on board which was designed to allow people to play even when the boat is underway. Lewis spends much of his time on the yacht, and, as such, he’s pretty secretive about many other details. 

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.
