Let’s discover Necker Belle, Richard Branson’s former luxury yacht!

One of the largest catamarans in the world, awarded in 2010 with the World Superyacht Awards and made of super-light carbon fiber, the Necker Belle catamaran, renamed Bella Vita, was built in 2003 and boasts among its owners the English tycoon Richard Branson, who owned it until 2018 when he sold it for $ 3 million.

Today it is possible to rent this luxurious catamaran weekly, budget permitting, of course, considering the great luxury it offers its customers and the fantastic features onboard, including huge living spaces, tropical-style furnishings, and even a private submarine.

Who is Richard Branson?

Born in London on July 18, 1950, Richard Charles Nicholas Branson is a well-known British entrepreneur, and founder of the Virgin Group, which today includes over 400 companies including airlines, credit cards, pension associations, communications, and entertainment companies, and even a space travel agency. His assets, according to Forbes data, exceed 4 billion dollars.

Branson recently made headlines especially for his space trip on July 11, 2021, when he formally opened the era of space tourism.

Son of a lawyer and an entrepreneur, as a child Richard had to deal with dyslexia, which evidently did not make his life at school easy. The rumors tell that one of his principals made a sort of prediction about him: he told him that he would go to prison or that he would become a millionaire. A life with no middle ground. The headmaster evidently got it wrong by a few zeroes. In fact, Richard would even become a billionaire.

The curiosity linked to the name Necker Belle

The name chosen by Branson for his catamaran derives from that of an island located in the Caribbean.

Necker Island is located in the British Virgin Islands north of Virgin Gorda, one of the largest islands in the country, in practice, it is an island of 74 hectares in the middle of the Caribbean Sea: an island surrounded by a turquoise sea, coral reefs and with beautiful sandy beaches.

The island is owned by Virgin, a company headed by Richard Branson, who over the years has diversified its investments by specializing in highly exclusive and luxury tourism.

Necker Island can be rented exclusively for groups of up to 28 people who will share the six Bali Houses, the Richard Branson Temple House, and, until recently, also the cabins of the Necker Belle catamaran.

The Necker Island area was designed to become a private refuge for its guests, a place away from the stress and tensions of everyday life where normal rhythms of life are re-established in the name of total well-being.

The transformation from Necker Belle into “Bella Vita”

During her last refit, dated 2018, the superyacht Necker Belle underwent a complete restyle in the Azzura shipyard in Australia, which further improved its already important features, bringing it to an exceptional level.

The technicians focused on some structural problems, masterfully solving and making various improvements, strengthening the ship, adding a new hydraulic system to the wheelhouse, and repositioning the helm stations.

A 38-meter-high carbon mast was then added to the catamaran, also redesigning the structure of the mast base.

The interior of the superyacht has also been deeply revisited. The electrical system and wiring were completely replaced, as well as a complete overhaul of the engine room. The furnishings of the cabins and common areas, therefore all the surface materials, are completely new, replaced, or renewed to give new life and a feeling of freshness to the catamaran.

Thanks to this complete refitting, a completely different catamaran were born, more comfortable and modern, which took the name of Bella Vita.

What are the characteristics of Necker Belle (Bella Vita)?

With a minimum draft of 5.90 feet (1.80 meters), Bella Vita is a unique opportunity to sail in areas where other yachts may be limited by shallow water.

With its 32 meters in length, she is one of the largest sailing catamarans in the world, with built-in carbon fiber to ensure lightness during navigation and therefore high performance and speed. In fact, she reaches 14 knots with the engine while with the help of the sail she can even reach 20 knots.

Bella Vita can accommodate up to ten passengers in its four cabins: a master suite, a cabin with a double bed, and two with single beds, all equipped with flat-screen TVs and iPod docking stations. A crew of 6 members guarantees the best of stays on board.

The catamaran also houses a large saloon in maple wood and bamboo, creating an exotic and relaxed atmosphere.

For their entertainment, guests can enjoy the various attractions onboard such as the trampoline for diving into the sea or the classic and numerous water toys always available.

Necker Belle: a catamaran is even equipped with a submarine

If life on the water is not enough for you and all the activities of Bella Vita have tired you, you can board the Necker Nymph and explore the seabed.

Necker Nymph is a 3-person aeronautical submarine that can dive to a depth of 30 meters, navigate underwater and explore ancient wrecks and exotic marine life among vibrant coral reefs.

This underwater “plane” was specially designed for Virgin Limited Edition and takes underwater exploration to a whole new level. Two passengers sit on either side of a trained pilot who will take the submarine to a depth of 30 meters below the surface, allowing you to enjoy a front-row view of spectacular marine life without having to swim with your usual scuba gear. Necker Nymph can travel at speeds of up to 6 knots underwater and dives typically last around two hours.
