Privacy Yacht Tiger Woods

Privacy Yacht Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods owns a 155 ft. marine fuel powered yacht that goes by the name “Privacy”.   Tiger Woods’ Yacht was purchased in 2004 from Christensen Shipyards, and is a 155 Trideck Motor Yacht with a reported cost to build of $20 million.  The beam is 29.5 ft. and it is constructed of fiberglass composite.

Megayacht buyers have a strong desire to customize their purchases, and Tiger Woods’ yacht is no exception. With three SeaDoos, two vespa scooters and a couple of ocean kayaks, the transom garage is full of goodies!   A large bar with stainless steel BBQ, and an 8 person jacuzzi dress the deck for the most leisurely of afternoons; and a $150,000 scuba tank fill station was added to blend helium, nitrogen and oxygen. The helium blend allows deeper diving than the usual two-gas blend. An inflatable decompression chamber is also on board. This equipment is necessary for diving deeper than the 120 ft. recreational limit.

The interior of Tiger Woods’ Yacht includes cherry woodwork with  cream, light browns and white accents.  White silk wallpaper lines all of the staterooms. One of the rooms was converted for working out and contains all the essentials:  free weights, a treadmill, and a stationary bike.  Transparent stairs and a cherry handrail are found in the staircase, but if you prefer an elevator, up to three people can ride at a time.  The the main living area is an open plan, with only the salon and dining room divided.  And, what sports haven is complete without a 50″ plasma television?  


The Christensen Trideck yachts take almost three years to build, but Tiger made the purchase when the construction was already 2/3 complete. This allowed all of the custom touches to be added, and shortened his wait time to less than a year.

Tiger purchased the yacht as a way to get away from the public and as a sanctuary from the media. Once away from port it is pretty tough for anyone to bother the famous golfer and his family. The yacht’s name “Privacy” pretty much says it all concerning Tiger Woods’ purchase of this super luxury yacht.
