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.

Australian pop star Kylie Minogue is a well-documented fan of a superyacht vacation and is most often found on board La Regina d’Italia – the 60 metre Codecasa owned by her fashion designer friends Dolce & Gabbana. Kylie posted this envy-inducing picture from the yacht’s sundeck while docked in Portofino, Italy in July.

Any keen celebrity yachtspotter will know where to find Magic Johnson during the summer months. Every year the basketball star famously charters the 70 metre Amadeus for a six-week cruise of the Med where he is joined by a bevy of A-list friends. 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. The yacht is owned by the couple's close friends Loren and JR Ridinger, who threw a party to celebrate the birthday of Larsa Pippen - another mutual friend and former wife of  sports star and fellow superyacht owner Scottie Pippen.

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.

Israeli socialite Hofit Golan displays some questionable sailing techniques while on a superyacht cruise in Ibiza in July. The TV personality sailed around the Med with three friends before ending her trip in Turkey.

Former model Christie Brinkley shared this snap of her son Jack posing aboard a traditional sailing yacht in Capri in July. Brinkley's two daughters, Sailor and Alexa, were also on holiday with the family.

American socialite and style icon Olivia Palermo cemented her fashion credentials when she holidayed on board T.M.Blue One – the 46 metre Picchiotti belonging to the honorary president of Valentino Giancarlo Giametti - this summer. Palermo was joined by Giametti, Carlos Souza, Lukas Dvorak and her husband Johannes Huebl for a luxury yacht vacation in Ibiza in July.

Singer and X Factor judge Rita Ora gets into the party mood aboard a luxury yacht in Ibiza in August. Ora was joined by a large group of friends in The White Isle where they chartered Gold Digger - a Baia Aqua 54 - and spent a day enjoying life at sea before returning to land to sample the local nightlife.
