It comes after the yacht hit the water at the AKYACHT shipyard in April 2021 after first arriving in Turkey in June 2016. The keel of the project was first laid back in 2006.

Featuring exterior styling by Michael Leach Design and interiors by H2 Yacht Design, Victorious first started life fourteen years ago in Northern Chile as a 77 metre explorer.

After the shipyard ran into difficulty, Victorious was bought again and spent two years under construction in New Zealand. The project again stalled and was left unfinished until it piqued the interest of a new owner in 2016.

At this point, the stern was extended by six metres to accommodate an indoor pool in the beach club and a two metre bowsprit was added, bringing the final length to 85 metres.

Key features include an upper deck with a sky lounge, cocktail lounge, observation saloon with a grand piano, a formal dining room and a wine and cigar "clubroom" complete with fireplace. 

Above deck, there is a Jacuzzi on the aft deck and a helipad capable of holding an AC145 chopper or equivalent at the bow.

Elsewhere, Victorious boasts a 200 square metre beach club with folding terraces, a gym, massage room, beauty and hair salon, hammam and heated swimming pool alongside a 10-seat cinema.

The massive 2,300GT interior includes a total of 11 guest suites; five on the main deck, four on the lower deck and two on the bridge deck.

Built to Lloyd's classification and MCA compliance, and capable of circumnavigating around the world, Victorious will be able to bring charter guests to a range of destinations.

Victorious is currently available for charter and listed for sale with Burgess, with an asking price of €125,000,000.
