It’s no secret that the NFL team owners club is one of the most exclusive clubs in the world. And being invited to watch the Super Bowl in New Orleans from a luxury box that’s stocked with plenty of A-list celebrities and captains of industry is pretty exclusive too.
But take it from me. There’s a club that’s gathering in New Orleans that’s harder to get into than any luxury box or the even the 32-member NFL team owners club. It has less than 10 members. I call it the “NFL Team Owners Superyacht Club.”
And while none of the teams these elite club members own is in the Super Bowl. Does it really matter when you can pregame on board Kismet, the brand new 400-foot-long superyacht owned Shahid Kahn, the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars launched last year?
Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder’s 305-foot-long superyacht Lady S will be there too. This yacht boasts something that no other super yacht in the world has—a 12 seat, two-deck tall IMAX theater that only added an extra $3 million to the final price tag.
And while Home Depot billionaire and Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank may have the “smallest” yacht in the club that will be in New Orleans. Watching the game aboard his 295-foot-long superyacht DreAMBoat (AMB are his initials), that was built by Oceanco and designed in collaboration between Espen Øino International and Terence Disdale Design will probably be way more comfortable than any luxury box could be.
Of course, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’s 357-foot-long Bravo Eugenia that was designed by the Italian superyacht design firm Nuvolari Lenard, built by Oceanco, and rumored to have cost over $250 million to build will be there too.
But when it comes to superyacht star power, it’s pretty hard to compete Kahn’s headline-grabbing 400-foot-long Kismet that was designed by Nuvolari Lenard and built by Lurssen. It normally charters for well north of $3 million a week. But, for the lucky few that are invited aboard this weekend, access to the most exclusive superyacht Super Bowl party of the year is literally…priceless.
