KING OF FUN Yacht Description
-
2 x E-foils with extra batteries:
The most popular new toy, giving fast, silent rides straight from the swim platform. -
Aquabana waterslide:
Instant setup for family fun, with repeat runs all day at anchor. -
Stabilizers at anchor:
Reduced roll at night and during meals, for better sleep and a calmer stay.
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.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a motor yacht like KING OF FUN, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($30,000 - $48,000), making the charter cost $150,000 to $168,000. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.
