“The original intention was to make Kismet the most luxurious charter boat on the water,” Captain Dave Andrews told Robb Report . Nearly 10 years since the yacht was launched, Khan is ready to go bigger. His third custom-built Lürssen weighs 5,500 tons—almost double Kismet ’s weight—and is scheduled to be delivered in November. Kismet is listed for sale with Cecil Wright for a cool $160 million and is currently the largest yacht for sale on the market.
A Champagne-colored chandelier by Crystal Caviar is the most obvious feature of his brief to the designers. The statement light hangs in the central lobby next to a sweeping black-and-gold Art Deco staircase, suspended, of course, over a grand piano. There is a glass elevator in the lobby with access to all decks. The overall feel of the yacht is an ornate gentleman’s club with lavish marble, etched glass flooring, gold-leaf finishes, and backlit onyx.
“We either anchor in Canary Wharf or go to the warship mooring downstream of Tower Bridge as the boss likes the view of the bridge,” says Andrews.
The sports theme continues with two full-height video walls—used to display images of Khan’s football players when hosting business events—that flank the central staircase leading into the double-height main salon and continue across the floor, walls, and ceiling. In the sky lounge, a large sports bar opens out across the bridge deck aft for hosting large groups of people. When the party keeps going, it converts into a disco with a built-in sound system.
On the foredeck is a touch-and-go helipad, though it’s never used. Instead, regular games of basketball are played with temporary netting erected to catch any balls that bounce out of court. “We always have a deckhand standing by on a Waverunner,” says Andrews.
The foredeck serves as the owner’s private deck with a Jacuzzi and is also used for yoga. It leads directly into the master suite with twin en suites, a private office, oval skylight, and one of three bioethanol fireplaces. The other two are in the main salon. When lit, they carry a cooler flame than a naked fire. There is also a foredeck fire pit for keeping guests warm on colder nights, which converts into a cocktail table.
Kismet has seven additional guest suites, sleeping 16 guests in total. This includes two VIPs and a sea cabin on the lower deck amidships for guests who suffer from seasickness. There are also crew quarters for 26.
“The spa was mandated by the owners to be a place they can just chill out in,” says Andrews. It has a hammam, a spa bath, a cold plunge pool, a steam shower and a massage room with an onboard spa therapist. Opening shell doors in the gym allow for workouts by the water’s edge. There is also a separate hair and beauty salon, with a dedicated onboard hairdresser.
In the garage is a full chest of water toys and four tenders. Up top, the sun deck is built for lounging, with a pool and hot tub, sofas, sunpads, and outdoor dining under the hard top.
A crow’s nest platform is dedicated to viewing the ocean or sunning in privacy. It just goes to show that even on a vast, 312-foot yacht, cozy, intimate spaces rule the roost.

German Shipbuilder Lürssen Delivers 400-ft Yacht Kismet
The owner of this latest yacht from Lürssen is thought to be Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan.
By Toby Louch
German shipbuilder Lürssen has just delivered its latest superyacht , Kismet . Leaving the shipyard for the first time on May 7, Kismet was reportedly designed and built for the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars and English premier league soccer team Fulham FC, Shahid Khan.
Deriving from Arabic, ‘kismet’ is ‘hypothetical force that determines the course of future events,’ or fate, it’s not the first yacht owned by Khan to bear that name. His ex- Kismet — also built by Lürssen — is a 313-ft superyacht and was sold last year by Cecil Wright. Khan didn’t have to wait too long for his replacement, which, of course, is bigger and better than the old one.
Sitting at 400 ft in length (including the bowsprit), with a 58-ft beam, the new Kismet was designed specifically by Italian firm Nuvolari-Lenard to showcase exceptional volume while not compromising on sleek and elegant lines. On initial viewing, the eyes are immediately drawn to the mast and bow figure which resemble a jaguar, perhaps a not-so-subtle nod to Khan’s football team.
While the ship’s exterior is impressive, it’s only inside that her true grandeur is revealed. Interiors were handled by Reymond Langton Design — a further recurring collaboration for Khan — who focused on designing the ship’s interior to reflect the owner’s “unique lifestyle.”
Shock, awe and opulence are the name of the game here. Kismet features a two-level open-plan entrance area, decked out with sweeping video walls for maximum arrival impact. The lower decks also lay home to a Nemo cinema (Captain or Clownfish is not specified) that includes a 150-in television and an underwater seating area. There is also a spa onboard, humbly referred to as “a luxurious 7-star wellness area,” although the official body that delivered this adjudication remains absent.
As this is a Lürssen yacht, Kismet has been fully equipped with the latest state-of-the-art technology and technical systems. A hybrid power train capable of operating in full-electric mode places Kismet among some of the most powerful and energy-efficient superyachts in the world. The ship’s generators are fitted with a heat recovery system that’s used to heat the pool, while a dynamic positioning system can be used to anchor her in sensitive areas.

“The owner’s brief was challenging,” said Peter Lürßen, CEO of Lürssen “However, we believe that with our technical expertise, we have fulfilled the owner’s wish and vision for a yacht that will still be timeless and ahead of its time for many years to come. Our thanks go to the excellent design and communication with the designers Nuvolari-Lenard and Reymond Langton and the Lürssen project team. Special thanks go to the competent and experienced Owner’s team Kyle and Gerry Fultz.”
Marking the third time Khan has ordered a yacht with Lürssen, Kismet is set to spend her first season in the Mediterranean and can be chartered through Cecil Wright.

Photos: A look at Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan’s yacht Kismet through the years
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — It’s a big week for Shad Khan’s Jacksonville Jaguars.
The team has the top pick in the NFL Draft once again, giving them a chance to get some help for Trevor Lawrence, who was picked No. 1 overall by the Jags last year.
RELATED: Jacksonville Jaguars fielding no offers for top pick, narrow choice to 4
In honor of the Jags’ upcoming moment in the spotlight, let’s take a trip down memory lane with another one of Khan’s assets: The Kismet, his nearly $200M yacht.
‘I WANT TO LIVE ON IT’
Action Sports Jax’s Brent Martineau first gave you a look at the mega yacht when it was brand-new and anchored in the Thames River ahead of the Jags’ London game against the Dallas Cowboys in 2014.
Khan sold his previous yacht in 2013, replacing it with the 300-foot Kismet, which took two years to build. Back then, the Kismet had a statue of a Jaguar on the front.
One of the Kismet’s onlookers in London declared “I want to live on it!”
‘MY FEET WOULD NEVER TOUCH LAND’
The yacht made it to the River City in 2015, docking in the St. Johns River next to the CSX building.
Deborah Kaczorowski of Jacksonville told Action News Jax then she was impressed with the Kismet.
“My feet would never touch land — maybe once a week —- if I had something like that,” Kaczorowski said. “I’d enjoy that bad boy.”
Shad Khan's Yacht in Town Earlier today Jaguar's owner Shad Khan's yacht sailed into town.
KISMET FOR SALE
In October 2020, the Kismet was listed for sale .
At that time, the asking price was $199,039,663. Now, the Kismet’s listing says “POA” under the asking price.
“POA” means “price on application” or “price on asking,” which means the seller must be contacted to get the price.
‘I CAN MOVE THE NEEDLE’
In December 2021, the Kismet was the site of an informal question-and-answer session with the media as Khan reflected on his 10-year anniversary as the owner of the Jaguars.
He reiterated his hope to help elevate the city to new heights and bring a Super Bowl to Jags fans.
“There’s a vacuum here, there’s a football team here and as an owner I can move the needle,” Khan said. “How many times do you get a chance to move a needle in a good way in a great American city, very rarely. That’s the power here.”

On the Kismet On Dec. 13, 2021, the eve of Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan's 10-year anniversary of owning the team, he reflected on the last decade in Jacksonville. Khan met with a group of local media aboard his almost $200 million yacht, The Kismet, in an informal question and answer session. These photos show an inside look of the yacht located in downtown Jacksonville.

A billionaire NFL owner's superyacht is now available for charter. It'll cost you.
NFL owner Shahid Khan's superyacht Kismet is available for charter at $3 million a week.
Kismet, which will debut at the Monaco Yacht Show, features luxury amenities and can host 12 guests.
Added costs for provisions, gratuities, and taxes can raise the weekly charter cost to $5.4 million.
Want to vacation like a billionaire? You can — for $3 million a week.
The superyacht belonging to Shahid Khan, the owner of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars who is worth $13.3 billion, according to Forbes, is officially available for charter by brokerage Cecil Wright.
Kismet, Khan's new yacht, will make her debut at the Monaco Yacht Show later this month.
The 122-meter yacht can accommodate up to 12 guests — and a crew of 36 available to serve them — and, like any superyacht worth its weight, has some special amenities .
A "Balinese-inspired" spa features a hammam, sauna, and cryotherapy chamber, as well as a massage table and chromotherapy bathtub offering some sort of color-related treatment. For more active wellness, there's a gym, basketball court, and pickleball court.
There are three pools — two are jacuzzis — spread over six decks, four outdoor showers, four bars, four fireplaces, two fire pits, and one helipad. For your viewing pleasure, there is an outdoor cinema, and for your listening pleasure, a DJ booth and grand piano.
And because billionaires love to play, there is a suite of water toys aboard, including Jet Skis, SeaBobs, e-foils, and WaveRunners.
Khan is a committed superyacht owner. His previous superyacht, also named Kismet, was purchased by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt last year. While its final sales price was not disclosed, it was listed for about $160 million. Renamed Whisper, the yacht was built by the same German shipyard as the new Kismet, Lürssen, and measured 95 meters.
"The yacht has exceeded all expectations of the client for whom we have built his third yacht in total," Peter Lürssen, a managing partner at Lürssen, said in a statement about the newest Kismet.
Kismet is the largest yacht on display at the Monaco Yacht Show, which will feature 120 superyachts . Renaissance, the second largest at 112 meters, charters for the same weekly price of $3 million.
While the nine-figure sales prices of these yachts make their seven-figure charter rates seem like a bargain, renting out a superyacht is not for the faint of wallet. In addition to the charter fee, there are costs associated with provisions which can come to as much as 40% of the fee; gratuities, as much as 20% of the fee; and taxes, also as much as 20%. That means a week aboard the Kismet can actually cost as much as $5.4 million.

Sports tycoon Khan purchased the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2012 and the UK’s Fulham football club in 2013, and launched All Elite Wrestling, a professional wrestling entertainment company in 2019.
