who owns skyfall yacht

So, who owns that mega yacht docked at Wrightsville Beach?

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - If you haven’t seen it, chances are you’ve heard about it. Skyfall, one of the largest yachts to ever cruise into Wrightsville Beach is the talk of the town.

So, who owns that huge yacht? His name is Roy Carroll.

Carroll, who lives in Greensboro, is the owner of The Carroll Companies, a real estate development firm valued at about $3 billion. He’s no stranger to the Wilmington area. Carroll is the developer of The Avenue , the planned $250 million project located on Military Cutoff Rd. The upscale development will feature luxury living, high-end shops, restaurants and a Westin Hotel. Construction was put on hold because of the pandemic, but is expected to begin this year.

While Skyfall is a luxury charter yacht, Carroll brought it to the Wrightsville Beach Marina for a couple weeks for personal use.

“Skyfall is entertaining friends and family for a couple of weeks prior to departing to the Mediterranean,” Carroll says. “Skyfall will take two and a half to three weeks to reach her destination of Croatia.”

The 191-foot long yacht is booked for charters in the Mediterranean through September. Clearly, it’s going to folks with lots of money. The going rate for a week on Skyfall is $400,000 plus approximately another $100,000 for fuel dockage and tips, according to Cameron Sieradzan, the media director for The Carroll Companies.

Yes, Skyfall is named after the 2012 James Bond movie. The previous owner reportedly paid a pretty penny to use the name. When Carroll purchased the yacht, the name went with it.

“We thought about renaming the yacht, but the name has stuck,” Carroll says. “Plus, we already have the yacht’s theme song.”

Skyfall has 15 crew members and can accommodate up to 14 guests. The yacht features a wine cellar, two hot tubs, a masseuse, two chefs and a helipad that converts to a basketball court.

Carroll also owns Rhino, a 154-foot yacht that will arrive in Wrightsville Beach in a few weeks before heading to New England for the summer.

Skyfall will leave Wrightsville Beach on June 8.

Creative use of space, unique features and sophisticated flourishes ensure an unparalleled charter experience on board luxury yacht SKYFALL

The 189.99ft /57.91m custom motor yacht 'SKYFALL' was built in 2010 by Trinity Yachts. The yacht’s exterior styling and entire engineering package is thanks to the in-house team at Trinity Yachts, while the luxurious interior design is the work of Patrick Knowles.

Exterior Design

A highlight of the all-aluminium SKYFALL is her shallow draft, which allows her to access shallow waters that other yachts of her size cannot reach. All decks offer alfresco dining options, but the hub of any luxury charter is sure to be the sundeck where a hot tub and shallow splash pool surrounded by sun pads sit forward of a semi-circular bar.

Interior Design

Described as ‘urban contemporary with overtones of Zen’, the interior design of SKYFALL features an abundance of woods and stones, beautifully etched glass and unusual materials such as petrified tree trunks. Other highlights include an unusual foyer aft boasting a statement wine cabinet and a Tiger’s Eye bar top in the sky lounge.

Guest Accommodation

Skyfall's interior layout sleeps up to 12 guests in 7 rooms, including a split-level master suite, 1 VIP stateroom, 3 double cabins, 1 twin cabin and 4 Pullman beds. She is also capable of carrying up to 13 crew onboard to ensure every need is catered for. 

Onboard Comfort & Entertainment

Whether dining alfresco on the raised aft deck, playing cards at the games table in the skylounge or unwinding in the sundeck’s hot tub, charter guests will love the opportunities SKYFALL presents for socializing with family and friends.

Performance & Range

A custom semi-displacement yacht, SKYFALL boasts a state-of-the-art stabilization system, which reduces roll motion and results in a smoother, more enjoyable cruising experience. She also features ‘at anchor stabilizers’, which work at zero speed to increase on-board comfort both at anchor and on rough waters.

Able to reach an impressive top speed of 21 knots, the motor yacht cruises at a more economical 14 knots and has a range of 1,666nm from her 22,000litre fuel tanks, making her an exceptional combination of performance and luxury.

Skyfall has aboard a plentiful range of water toys and accessories ready to entertain you and your guests whilst on charter. You'll be loving the huge adrenaline rush as you zip over the water on one of the two SeaDoo Sport GTR 130 SE WaveRunners. Also there is a waterskis that are hugely entertaining whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro. If you enjoy diving you'll appreciate the diving equipment and the PADI certified professionals on board. If that isn't enough Skyfall also features a seabob, wakeboards, bikes, inflatable water toys and paddleboards. Skyfall features two tenders, but leading the pack is a 11.3m/37'1" Intrepid Tender to transport you in style.

Book your next the Caribbean luxury yacht charter aboard Skyfall this winter. She is already accepting bookings this summer for cruising in the Mediterranean.

The yacht from 'Skyfall' is on the market for $9.4 million, and it's just as cool as James Bond himself

You might remember the beautiful yacht we saw brief shots of in the 2012 James Bond movie "Skyfall." Now's your chance to take a look at the whole boat, and if you have enough cash on hand, to make it your own.

"Regina," the 183-foot superyacht owned by Turkish business tycoon  Dogukan Boyaci , is on sale for $9.4 with Engel & Völkers Yachting .

This six-cabin yacht sleeps 12 guests and has been re-fitted since the movie was filmed. But it looks every bit as glamorous, even without Bond around.

It was last on the market in 2012, when it was listed for  $14 million by Fraser Yachts .

Alex Davies contributed reporting on an earlier version of this article. 

The 183-foot yacht has 1,140 square meters of sails.

It can cruise at 12 knots (13.8 mph).

It is also equipped with two engines.

"Regina" comes with a crew of 9.

There's room on board for 12 guests.

They can stay in any one of six en-suite cabins.

All are elegantly furnished and come with satellite television and a DVD player.

The master cabin has its own lounge and a walk-in dressing room ...

... as well as a bathroom with his and her sinks.

The dining table in the salon has room for all 12 guests.

There's a white Baby Grand Piano in the room.

The hallways are decorated with statues.

Near the bow, there's a small table and space for lounging.

There's a sun pad near the ship's stern, where you can also enjoy drinks at night.

The rest of the deck is open, with room to move around.

A table on the deck also has room for all the guests on board.

With canoes, paddle boards, jet skis, water skis, and a speed boat on board, there is plenty to keep guests entertained.

For "Skyfall," Daniel Craig and Berenice Marlohe were filmed on board in Turkey's Gulf of Fethiye.

M/Y ‘Skyfall’ sold

Fanatical yacht owner, john staluppi, has sold his 57m motoryacht, skyfall….

Peter Thompson of Thompson, Westwood and White, and HMY Yacht Sales have confirmed the sale of illustrious superyacht owner John Staluppi’s 57m motoryacht, Skyfall , after Frank Grzeszczak and Barbara Stork Landeweer of IYC found a buyer.  

Staluppi purchased Skyfall , a 2010 Trinity Yachts build, formerly known as Mi Sueno , second-hand in June 2014 – she had an asking price of $36.95 million at the time of purchase –  before listing her for sale again in October 2014 for $36.5 million.

Listing a yacht for sale immediately after taking delivery is standard protocol for Staluppi – as he once explained in an exclusive interview with The Superyacht Report (issue 179), it’s “because you never know who might jump in”. He added: “No-one wants to have to wait three years. People who can afford these boats are getting up in age. He might be 75… By the time he’ll have finished building a new boat, he’ll be 78.”

With the delivery of his 69m in-build Benetti superyacht, Spectre , scheduled for October this year, it is a timely sale for Staluppi, as he can now concentrate his efforts on overseeing the final phase of this construction. 

Skyfall was reduced in price six times before she was sold.

Two weeks ago, he took delivery of a black and red Iguana ‘Commuter’ tender – a range the Normandy-based builder launched very recently – so his preparations for the delivery of  Spectre are clearly underway.

Staluppi’s keenness to sell Skyfall – or his “interim”, as he described her – before the delivery of Spectre was made very clear to the market – he reduced the price six times in total, prior to the sale, three of which occurred since August 2017. She eventually sold with a final asking price of $27.9 million.

In the aforementioned interview with The Superyacht Report in 2017, Staluppi was adamant that Spectre will be his last boat and that he was “really on the fence” about signing the contract for the build. That said, one wonders if he can resist his intrinsic desire to build and own yachts, and how many of his former yachts have passed through construction halls in the past with the same preceding rhetoric.

Staluppi said that he chose Benetti because it was able to offer him the flexibility he was looking for with Spectre , and that the Italian yacht building giant is a “truly unbelievable shipyard”. He considers the Italians to be the best at woodworking, and as the Patrick Knowles-styled interior of Skyfall would suggest, this is an important design aspect for him.

The birth of superyacht project Skyfall

When an owner is ‘blown away’ by a design, it says something. That design, by  Andrea Vallicelli , was an earlier version of the project now revealed as project  Skyfall  to be built at Sunrise Yachts in Turkey. The news of this new venture spread quickly.

Shipyard owners Baum and Guillaume Roché, and broker Worth Avenue Yachts , were elated to officially share the news during the Miami Beach Yacht & Brokerage Show this past February. As we sat down with the team for a chat, there was tangible excitement in the air.

The 68 metre (223′) Skyfall , with naval architecture by Mulder Design as well as Özgün Yacht Design of Turkey, will achieve 25 knots. ‘This is a bit of a faster boat,’ said Vallicelli’s engineer Alessandro Nazareth as he walked us through the layout of this elegant and slender five-deck yacht.

Some of the exciting features on this fast-displacement steel-and-aluminum yacht are the propulsion and power plant — Voith Linear Jets for propulsion, and MME microturbines instead of standard diesel generators.

Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Sunrise Yachts, Jean-Claude Carme, said in a recent interview that ‘The client has previously built the fastest yacht in the world and he is technically very exacting, as he should be. So for him to choose us to build his biggest yacht to date is recognition of what we’re trying to achieve….For a man who seeks “firsts” the MME microturbine system was the perfect fit. It can achieve a relatively high speed with a relatively low draft. This is important because of the client’s preference for cruising grounds such as the Bahamas and Florida .’

The yacht — which boasts a huge party deck able to accommodate 100 guests dock-side – will feature two masters, two VIPs and two guest cabins, as well as a sauna, beach club and float-in garage — also will break the mould when it comes to interior design. The project team is working with Focus Yacht Design , a relatively under-the-radar German design firm, which most recently worked on the 239-foot yacht Plan B built at ADM in Kiel, Germany.

Whether the yacht actually will be christened Skyfall when she launches is a matter of debate.

The best James Bond Boats and Yachts (2024 update)

If you frequent the high seas, then you are certainly familiar with James Bond movies. After all, this iconic franchise has become synonymous with what it means to lead a life of luxury and danger. From speed boats to submarines and everywhere in between, Ian Fleming has given us some of the most memorable watercraft used by Bond himself throughout his adventures for more than 50 years now. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at some of the best James Bond boats and yachts that have been featured in recent 007 films – both large vessels like The World Is Not Enough’ super yacht as well as small ones such as Live And Let Die’s’ hydrofoil! So fasten your seat belts and get ready to explore these larger-than-life vessels from the world’s top spy!

From Russia With Love (1963)

One of the most memorable boat chases occurs in From Russia With Love . A young Sean Connery and Tatiana Romanova were traveling to Venice when the bad guys assaulted them. But Bond made a spectacular escape aboard a Fairey Huntress .

The speedboat is part of the Fairey Marine catalog. Created by English sailing enthusiasts, the company produced boats until the early 1980s. Its first motor cruiser appeared in the 1960s.

This James Bond boat sequence helps publicize the Fairey Huntress and the Fairey Huntsman motorboats. They became widely popular, and won multiple offshore races. They were the craft of choice for Royal Naval Skippers. 

Live and Let Die (1973)

The Glastron GT150 featured on Live and Let Die movie poster is crucial for the 007 boat history. Roger Moore drives the speedboat through Louisiana everglades and makes a 120ft leap over the pursuing Sheriff’s cars.

26 boats were used to create this iconic sequence, and 17 were destroyed during the shoot!

The Glastron GT 150 used to establish the world record was sold just after the shooting. It is now the property of the Ian Flemming Foundation, and it was part of James Bond’s vehicle exhibition in London.

For safety reasons, we don’t recommend these kinds of stunts with speedboats while you are on sailing vacations. But you can still experience high-speed sensation and jumps with water toys. Learn how to choose among them here!

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

In this Bond movie, the boat is, in reality, a Lotus Esprit. This beautiful white car is one of the best British sports cars of the 1970s. Q turned it in an incredible vehicle. It turns into a submarine to escape an attacking helicopter.

Filmed in the Bahamas (Nassau), the underwater scenes feature the extravagant vehicle that can fire torpedoes and anti-aircraft-missiles. 

Enjoy a superyacht charter in the Bahamas to immerse yourself in the James Bond movie ambiance.

Golden Eyes (1995)

The Manticore yacht is the villain’s lair seen in GoldenEye . Most of the scenes were filmed in Monaco. The actual luxury yacht is the Northern Cross , a 142ft boat built in Sweden in 1991.

Designed by Tor Hinders and Per Kavli, the motorboat has a top speed of 24 knots and a cruising speed of 18 knots. The accommodation is designed to sleep up to 10 guests over five cabins.

The crew cabins accommodate up to 8 people. It was the property of a Finnish businessman before it was refurbished and sold for $7 million in 2006.

Check our Yacht available for charter in the French Riviera and cruise to Monaco to experience James Bond’s universe glamour.

The World Is Not Enough (1999)

In the longest Bond pre-title sequence, Pierce Brosnan is chasing Giulietta da Vinci’s Sunseeker Superhawk 34 .

Driven down the Thames at 60mph, the motor yacht is wiped out by mini-torpedos. The Superhawk 34 used in The World is Not Enough was for sale in January 2012 for $150,000.

After this film, the collaboration between the film producers (EON Productions) and the boat company becomes more notable. 

Sunseeker is a major boat builder for the sports and leisure markets in the world. The James Bond franchise helped the British luxury brand to become an international icon.

Try our Sunseeker Superyacht for a taste of James Bond lifestyle.

Casino Royale (2006)

In the 2006 James Bond film, several luxury yachts appeared. Among them, there are the Sunseeker Predator 108 and Spirit 54.

The Sunseeker superyacht is the villain’s “floating lair.” It was filmed on location in the Bahamas. With over 100 feet long, the performance yacht has four cabins, one master suite, and it can accommodate up to eight guests.

Full-scale models of accommodation on board were built for the film studios in Prague.

The large-scale sets were mounted on a large hydraulic platform to simulate the movement of the sea during filming.

In 2017 the yacht was for sale at $4.2 million. 

Daniel Craig and Eva Green also sail casually into Venice on the elegant Spirit 54 . This classic British 54-foot yacht was handcrafted in Suffolk by S pirit Yachts . She sleeps up to six guests in two en suite double cabins.

It has to be shipped to Miami, then Barbados and Croatia before finally arriving in Venice. It is also the first sailing yacht to go up the Grand Canal in over 300 years.

After the shoot, the luxury boat was used for cruising and racing, mainly in the UK and Ireland.

Skyfall (2012) 

In SkyFall , Daniel Craig and Severine (Bérénice Marlohe) sail on the Pruva Regina yacht gliding through Turkey’s sapphire waters.

No Time to Die (2021)

In No Time To Die, released in 2021, the 007 yacht is called Spirit 46. She is a very beautiful 14m sailing yacht that is initially designed for fast-pace racing. Clearly a true match for an adventurer such as James Bond.

In 2021, it seems that James Bond is going back to its old love from the Casino Royale time, the modern yet classic wooden sailing yacht.

The yachts named after James’ Bond movies

Although our article is intended to list the yachts that have been featured in a James Bond movie, you might also encounter boats that were named with one of the James Bond movies, without actually being a part of the movie.

John Staluppi is the most emblematic case of a James Bond fan that decided to show his passion through the naming of its yachts. As such, he named all of the 18 yachts that he owned over his life after James Bond movies.

Like James Bond, John Staluppi likes his yachts fast. To be more precise, he likes them unusually fast compared to their respective size.

One of his most famous posessions include yachts called :

• For Your Eyes Only : a 36m yacht that could go over 30 Knots
• Octopussy : a 43m yacht that can reach 50 knots
• Moonraker : a 36m that can sail at 57 knots
• Casino Royale : a 49m luxurious yacht
• Skyfall : a 57m superyacht with 3 VIP suites
• Diamonds Are Forever: a 61m motoryacht available for luxury charters

It seems that John Staluppi, like many of us, made the realisation that sailing a yacht truly makes you feel like you are part of a James Bond movie. Luckily, your yacht doesn’t have to be featured in a Hollywood movie or to bear its name for you to feel that way.

The famous Riva boats in the James Bond movies

Since the middle of last century, luxury Italian boat maker Riva has become a cornerstone in Hollywood blockbusters. From classic runabouts to modern variations with wooden cladding and impressive technical characteristics, their boats have been featured alongside stars like Clark Gable and Chris Hemsworth – all encapsulating style, wealth and status on screen.

Riva boats have been making a splash in the Bond films since Robert Moore first took up the mantle of 007. In 1995, Pierce Brosnan starred as James Bond for “Golden Eye” and with him came Riva ! Daniel Craig later paraded around on one too when he stepped into his version of Agent 007’s shoes in “Casino Royale”. Over time these beautiful vintage yachts continue to gain more admiration from film-lovers everywhere; even now with many new movies about our beloved secret agent coming out each year – so does their presence remain over all that time.

7 Reasons We’re Psyched for Skyfall

• By Yachting Staff
• Updated: February 25, 2014

Rendering of 223-foot Sunrise motoryacht Skyfall

John and Jeanette Staluppi, long known among yacht-spotters for their builds bearing the names of James Bond films, have commissioned a 223-foot superyacht from Sunrise Yachts.

Skyfall is scheduled to launch in 2017 and will be the largest build yet from the Turkish shipyard. Worth Avenue Yachts brokered the deal.

Here are seven reasons we’re psyched about the new project:

• There’s a much better chance of Adele singing at the christening ceremony for Skyfall than there was during the 2011 launch of the Staluppis’ 200-foot Benetti Diamonds Are Forever .

• Skyfall is rumored to be packed with new technologies thanks to Italian designer Vallicelli & Co., naval architects Mulder Design and OYD, and German-based interior designer Focus Yacht Design. We’re hearing phrases like “Voith Linear jet propulsion system” and “MME micro turbines” as “power-generating sources of the future.” Neat-o.

• Sunrise Yachts has been in operation for just six years, showing how quickly today’s superyacht yards can ramp up to take on impressive projects.

• Exterior designer Andrea Vallicelli is describing Skyfall as a “slender yacht,” even though she’ll have five decks. We can’t wait to see that claim in real life.

• The maximum speed on Skyfall is expected to be 23 knots, with a range of no less than 5,000 nautical miles at slower speeds. That’s a serious transatlantic traveler.

• Skyfall is being described as a fast-displacement yacht with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure. It sounds run-of-the-mill, but with the Staluppis involved, we know it will be anything but standard execution.

• Skyfall will be the Staluppis’ 19th yacht. We can’t wait to see what it sparks in their imaginations — and what Bond movies will come out between now and the launch to inspire an even bigger build down the road.
