Billionaires looking for an alternative lockdown playground this summer might consider snapping up the world’s most expensive charter yacht – a snip at just £3million a week, or, if you break it down, a wallet-crushing £18,000 an hour.  

The uber luxurious six-deck Flying Fox stretches 450ft and boasts the kind of five-star amenities most high-end hotels would struggle to conjure up, including a futuristic cryo-sauna, heli-pad and a 400sq-metre spa pool with a balcony purely for yoga.

The superyacht, which sleeps 25 but can entertain up 34 guests, was built in Germany and cost around £500million to craft.

The Flying Fox needs a whopping 54 crew members – from bar staff to gym instructors and waiters – to be fully operational while cruising the world.

Those who want alternative options for getting on the ocean can also try a hoverboard, flyboard or sea scooter. 

Inside, there’s are swish interiors by leading designer Mark Berryman and the 11 cabins can accommodate up to 25 guests staying overnight; all rooms have private sea view terraces.  

Anyone feeling anxious about catching Covid can rest assured the Flying Fox boasts a fully-staffed medical centre purely to take care of visitors.   

In the spa, there’s the chance to try the benefits of trendy cryotherapy which involves freezing the body to sub-zero temperatures. And missing rural life while at sea isn’t a problem, guests can stroll an indoor garden, complete with its own trees and water garden.  

Building began on the Flying Fox in 2017, and it was completed last year before being put up for rental earlier this month.
