James Bond's Yachts
As a Royal Navy Commander, James Bond is never far away from the sea. Let’s take a look at the James Bond latest movies and find out the gentleman’s preferences.
• Casino Royale
16.4m Soufriere built in 2006 by Spirit Yachts. James Bond sails this vessel through the canals of Venice. Soufriere was designed with the ability to be de-masted in order to go under the city’s numerous bridges and became the first sailing yacht to travel up Venice’s Grand Canal in 300 years.
This sophisticated yacht was sold following her movie début and spent subsequent years cruising and participating in competitive racing. She recently returned to Spirit Yachts to complete a refit and is now for sale.
Soufriere sleeps up to six guests in two en suite double cabins and is powered by a single 54hp Yanmar diesel engine.

Spirit Yachts CEO and Head of Design Sean McMillan commented, “The Spirit 46 is one of the original Spirit Yachts designs and is an example of the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into every Spirit yacht. I think the yacht suits the Bond character very well because of the combination of beauty and practicality.”
