Superyacht King Baby spent a few months of exclusive use. The 140 foot IGA Yachts motor yacht then entered into the charter market. Prominent yacht maven Jana Sheeder wasted no time in securing the very first charter.
SHEEDER SOLIDIFIES A MAGICAL CLIENT HOLIDAY
This happened only days after the yacht’s manager publicly announced the yacht would be available for the upcoming Caribbean yacht charter season. Sheeder delivered a 10-night contract to hire the vessel during the year-end holidays.
ALL ABOUT THE YACHT
The 140 foot yacht KING BABY, IGA Yachts (China’s) largest vessel built to date, is named after King Baby Studio. The Studio is Mitchell Binder’s iconic Los Angeles jewelry design business. Binder is the darling of the LA-based music industry for more than three decades. He has celebrity clients including members of the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith. King Baby Studio has made custom jewelry for celebrities like Howard Stern, Liz Taylor, and Taylor Swift.
Binder and the yacht’s owner are close friends. The owner’s new toy reflects multiple things. For instance, the confidence, charisma and maverick attitude of provocative jewelry line.
THE MEANING OF KING BABY
Luxury with a rebel spirit sums up both the jewelry and the look of the yacht. From chrome-plated guitars, to vintage rock photos framed in black alligator leather, to the ondeck Jacuzzi tub with a three tiered waterfall, to custom drain covers, the yacht is truly unique and unlike any charter vessel in the world. The rock décor is a collaborative effort between famed yacht designer Evan K Marshall, King Baby Studio, and Slick+Design.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Accommodations for up to 10 guests are available in a full beam master stateroom on the man deck, and 4 guests cabins below.
ONBOARD ENTERTAINMENT
Of course, you can’t have a music-inspired yacht without a great entertainment system. 24 televisions (yep, 24, not a typo), including an 84-inch 4k screen in the skylounge are integrated with an Apple TV / music system. Surround sound pumps the beat throughout the interior & exterior – from bow to stern. Music can be played from a personal device or from the yacht’s music library.
