Make an Unbridled escape aboard an equestrian-themed yacht.
A yacht can give you access to places that few ever get to know, all while enjoying pampered luxury. It’s about having new choices each day and sharing extraordinary experiences with the people you care about.
Lavishly luxurious and effortlessly chic, the Unbridled embodies superyachting at its best. Delivered in 2009, the creation of Unbridled was driven by its equestrian owner’s determination to build a truly unique vessel. With equestrian touches throughout, it embodies, on the open water, the same sense of freedom and adventure attained while riding.
At 191 feet, Unbridled offers accommodations for up to 12 guests in six staterooms, as well as 13 crew members.
The owner, inspired by his family’s long history of riding and breeding horses and his love for the sport of polo, wove an equestrian theme into the ship’s design. The Unbridled logo contains a belt clip from a saddle in its imagery. The main salon contains a large grill behind the TV with horses galloping, the staircase is leather like a bridle, and all of the sconces on board are horses.
Other amenities include a variety of water toys, high-tech underwater diving system, stainless steel hot tub, and air conditioning on all outdoor decks.
This kind of over-the-top luxury doesn’t come cheap. Unbridled is available for charter for the winter and summer seasons. Summer rates start at $350,000, with winter rates starting at $300,000 per week, plus operating expenses.
But somehow for a once-in-a-lifetime experience like this, $25,000 per person for a week seems like a bargain.
