Call it, “Life imitating art.” They were under siege by a great white shark in the 1975 film, JAWS. Actor Roy Scheider’s character exclaimed, ‘We’re gonna need a bigger boat.’
SPIELBERG
Obviously the film’s director, Steven Spielberg, took that sentiment to heart. His 282 foot superyacht is up for sale. It will be replaced with an even larger vessel.
SEVEN SEAS
Oceanco 2010 Spielberg yacht SEVEN SEAS lived up to its name. The famous director, his wife Kate Capshaw, and their seven children made it happen. They took the yacht on a 30,000-mile round-the-world cruise.
CELEBRITY GUESTS
Over the years, many famous Hollywood celebrities have been guests onboard the yacht. For instance, Gyneth Paltrow and Leonardo DiCaprio. The UK’s Daily News wrote an article. A friend of the director said, “Steven didn’t realize how much he’d enjoy cruising the ocean. Now he’d like to spend more time exploring the seas, and bring a few friends along for the ride. So he’s upgrading to a bigger yacht.”
COMPANY PRESIDENT COMMENTS
The yacht is sometimes available for hire. This season’s charter rate in the Mediterranean is $1.2 million per week.
If you’re considering renting the yacht this summer, you might have to wait until September, as the legendary director and his family have spent a considerable portion of their summer vacation onboard, and were recently spotted taking in the sites of Portofino, Italy. Even the family dog is along for the ride.
Yes, poor Leo. The “Django Unchained” star was hard at work, toiling away like the rest of us 9 to 5 “lunchpailers.” Specifically after being snubbed by the Oscar voters.
Well…maybe “toiling” is not the right word.
WHERE DID DiCAPRIO GO AFTER ACADEMY AWARDS?
DiCaprio skipped the Academy Awards ceremony. He then lounges on a docked yacht in southern California on Monday. Furthermore, surrounded by bikini-clad women. Ahhhh, the good life.
The actor went without a nomination for his work in Django, but co-star Christoph Waltz picked up the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, while director Quentin Tarantino snared an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
Leo was onboard, reshooting scenes. Moreover, for his upcoming movie, “The Wolf of Wall Street.” He sports white linen pants, sunglasses, and a slicked-back 80’s hairstyle. The 38 year-old actor portrays real-life stockbroker, Jordan Belfort, in a Martin Scorsese film. In specific, the film is about Belfort and his role in the Wall Street fraud case in the 1980’s.
MARGOT ROBBIE IN SWIMSUIT
Five women in bathing suits joined Leo on the yacht for the re-shoot. For instance, co-star Margot Robbie, dressed in an eye-catching gold one-piece bathing suit with a plunging neckline. Robbie plays Belfort’s wife, Nadine.
The tiny island nation of St Barts once again played host to multiple people and boats. For instance, celebrities, business icons, and the world’s largest yachts to celebrate New Year’s Eve 2011.
PARTY HOST
With fireworks bursting overhead, many revelers made their way to the £59 million island estate of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich for his annual party. It is estimated to cost £5 million (about $7.7 million US Dollars). The star-studded event featured a live performance by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
MOTORYACHT ECLIPSE
Many stayed on the Russian’s 536 foot superyacht ECLIPSE – the world’s largest private yacht with two helicopter pads, a submarine, and two swimming pools. Other yachts anchored in the harbor or along the quay included the 377 foot motor yacht LUNA, Feadship yacht charter motor yacht DREAM, and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen motor yacht TATOOSH.
