Yacht Description
Deck life wins. KING OF FUN is a 130ft Northern Marine motor yacht built in 2005, with later refits noted in 2018, 2022 and 2024. The big draw is the sundeck setup: a large deck Jacuzzi ringed by bar seating and sun pads, so the group can actually hang out in one place.
Five cabins, ten guests. She sleeps 10 in 5 suites, led by a full-beam master on the main deck with its own study. Simple, grown-up layout.
Toy program, no excuses. Waterslide. Two 2024 Yamaha jet skis. Plus Seabobs, e-foils (with extra batteries), electric wakesurf boards, paddleboards, towables, a wakeboard, snorkel gear, and fishing gear, so you can keep every age bracket busy without scheduling meetings about it.
Comfort when stopped. Stabilizers at anchor help keep things steady, while air conditioning and Wi‑Fi handle the practical side. There is also a gym (with Peloton) and an outdoor cinema projector for downtime that does not feel like a compromise.
