Tiger Woods has a net worth of over $1 billion and spent some of the millions he has earned from golf over the years buying himself a superyacht to recharge on.
Despite its name, what Woods has previously, in jest, called a ‘dinghy’ is far from subtle. It stands at 155ft with an almost 30ft beam and covers 6,500 sq ft.
Across its three decks are nine rooms, five for guests and the other four housing its nine-person strong crew. It accommodates up to 12 passengers, with all but two of them capable of fitting in the sizeable jacuzzi on its deck.

For those who cannot squeeze in, there is an in-built scuba tank filling station – Woods is a certified master driver by the National Association of Underwater Instructors – before braving the sea and the option of going down in its inflatable decompression chamber. Also aboard are three jet skis and two ocean kayaks to further explore what is above the water.

There are also two Vespa scooters in storage to zip around on when docking on dry land. Back on board, a gym with an ocean view lets guests take in the scenery as they run on the treadmill or put work in on the elliptical cross trainer.
As well as the various activities it facilitates, there is plenty of room to relax. It has a built-in bar and adjacent dining table to entertain guests – both built from stylish cherry woodwork.
It even comes fitted with a lift to traverse its three floors. But for those shorter trips, its transparent staircase makes a statement.
Woods even stays aboard during some tournaments. When the US Open was last at Shinnecock Hills in New York, he docked ‘Privacy’ in Sag Harbor for the duration.
Speaking about the experience, Woods remarked: “Staying on the dinghy definitely helps.
“It’s been nice to get away from the tournament scene and go to my dinghy and just enjoy it.”
