34 of the best celebrity yacht moments of 2015

Model Kendall Jenner posted this snap from the appropriately named Princess K during the Cannes Film Festival 2015 in May. Should Jenner (or her legion of fans) have been particularly fond of the yacht they will be glad to find out the 40 metre Sunseeker is currently listed for sale with Dbeere Yachts.

However, it seems Princess K may have just been a yachting warm-up for Jenner as she was later spotted on board Axioma with fellow models Gigi and Bella Hadid and F1 star Lewis Hamilton.

In true diva style, pop icon Mariah Carey was one of the first stars to step out on a superyacht this summer when she treated her children to a Mediterranean cruise on Arctic P in July. The yacht belongs to Carey’s boyfriend James Packer and the singer was sure to make full use of her glamorous Adrian Sassoon-designed surroundings with a series of Instagram posts highlighting the enviable yachting lifestyle.

Any keen celebrity yachtspotter will know where to find Magic Johnson during the summer months.

This year’s guest list included Johnson’s son EJ, Samuel L. Jackson, Lewis Hamilton, comedian Chris Tucker and Tucker’s son Destin.

Power couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West   celebrated the Fourth of July in style thanks to a cruise aboard  Trinity Yachts' Utopia III.

Stefano Gabbana, one half of design duo  Dolce & Gabbana, indulges in a little sunbathing and yacht spotting aboard his 60 metre  Codecasa Regina d'Italia. The ever patriotic Gabbana cruised the yacht around his native  Italy before arriving in Portofino for the fashion house's Ora ball in July.
