Rich people are always looking for new ways to one-up each other, whether it’s opting for , buying up or starting . Now, there’s a new way rich people can prove their might and it’s by buying an ex-navy vessel that has been turned into a luxury yacht.

The ship in question is a 200-foot yacht that’s now , and it’s quite the specimen. Called Omnia, the ship reportedly began its life as a pilot boat for the Dutch navy.

The ship was first launched back in 1974 when it formed a trio of new vessels built by shipbuilder Amels for the Dutch Navy, according to ,. After serving with the military until 1999, it was converted to an explorer yacht and a helipad and hangar was added.

In the years since, it’s been given a few refreshes and repairs, but its most extensive overhaul came in 2021, when the ship changed hands before undergoing a full overhaul to you see here.

The process took 14 months and saw the ship get fitted with a new wheelhouse and main deck. The exterior decks were also rebuilt and the corridors were updated to bring more light into the vessel. To help with this, Omnia was also fitted with 50 .

Other big changes included the and hanger, which was replaced with a boujie looking sun deck. There’s also a spa-like massage room onboard and the ship comes with its own cigar humidor. Fancy.

The changes to the boat mean that it now has space to accommodate 16 guests across five cabins and it has capacity for up to 20 crew members onboard.

If all that sounds like the perfect addition to your flotilla, then you’d better start saving as TWW Yachts is now brokering the sale of the yacht for a cool $24 million. This makes it more expensive than that sold at auction in 2017.
