Flying Fox superyacht — private charter concierge profile by LYC Monaco

Iconic superyachts · Lürssen

Flying Fox — The 136-metre Lürssen — the largest charter yacht on the market.

Flying Fox is, by a comfortable margin, the largest yacht on the charter market anywhere in the world. Delivered by Lürssen in 2019 to a specification that reads more like a wellness resort than a private yacht, she operates a genuine commercial programme and accommodates twenty-two guests — an outlier at the top of the market.

What makes her different

The two-deck spa is the headline. Four hundred square metres of dedicated wellness including hammam, snow room, cryo-sauna, treatment rooms and a full gym — a facility with no equivalent on any other charter yacht. A twelve-metre swimming pool with counter-current sits on the main deck aft; a Jacuzzi hangs off the beach club at the waterline.

Eleven guest suites accommodate twenty-two guests overnight — the highest guest capacity on any charter superyacht. The main-deck owner's apartment is the largest single space on the yacht, with a private terrace, study and full-beam bedroom. Crew of fifty-four, certified helicopter deck with hangar, and a tender garage running the full width of the beach deck.

The exterior is Espen Øino in classic Lürssen mould — long, low, deliberately undramatic — and the interior by Mark Berryman is a warm, residential take on the modern superyacht language. She is a yacht for guests who want the scale of a small hotel but the discretion and detail of a private home.

Chartering Flying Fox

Flying Fox is in the €4,000,000+ per week bracket at peak Mediterranean summer, plus APA at roughly 25–30% and VAT proportioned to cruising water. She accommodates twenty-two guests, which — divided by the party size — often makes her more cost-effective per guest than smaller yachts at the same tier.

She books twelve to eighteen months out. Peak weeks (Monaco Grand Prix, Cannes Film Festival, Ferragosto, Monaco Yacht Show) are effectively committed the season prior; June and September shoulder-season windows are the concierge's typical working weeks.

LYC Monaco confirms availability directly with Imperial (her central agent) and coordinates from Monaco. The concierge desk handles the full operational stack — berthing across the coast, helicopter clearance, VIP arrivals, and a coordinated ashore programme at scale.

The concierge's read

The Flying Fox brief is unlike any other yacht on the charter market. She is the correct choice when the guest count is genuinely large (16–22) and the wellness programme is central to the week. For smaller parties or itineraries built around ashore dining and beach-club rhythm, a 60–90 metre motor yacht is usually a better fit.

Frequently asked

How much does it cost to charter Flying Fox?

Flying Fox's weekly base rate at peak Mediterranean summer sits above €4m, plus APA (roughly 25–30%) and applicable VAT. Per-guest cost divided across a full 22-guest party is often more workable than headline pricing suggests.

How many guests can Flying Fox accommodate?

Twenty-two guests in eleven suites — the highest overnight guest capacity of any charter superyacht.

What makes Flying Fox different from other superyachts?

The two-deck spa, the guest capacity, and the on-board medical and wellness team. She is closer to a floating wellness resort than to a traditional motor yacht, and guests book her specifically for that brief.

Where does Flying Fox charter?

The western Mediterranean and the Balearics in summer, with winter programmes in the Caribbean and, occasionally, the Indian Ocean and Red Sea.
