Superyacht Nixie making her WORLD DEBUT at this years Monaco Yacht show!

102.4 metres of Lürssen engineering, and one of the most talked-about yachts heading to Monaco this year.

NIXIE, formerly known as Project JASSJ, was delivered by Lürssen in June 2026 and will make her world debut at the Monaco Yacht Show this September.

Designed inside and out by RWD, she has some seriously impressive features, including a six-metre-wide semi-suspended glass pool and a 270 sqm beach club spread across four sea terraces. She also has a major focus on wellness, with a gym, cryotherapy chamber, spa, sauna and steam facilities.

But NIXIE has already made headlines for another reason.

Cecil Wright & Partners is suing her current owner, Revolut founder Nik Storonsky, over an alleged €17.5 million commission relating to the yacht’s reported purchase price of around €350 million.

Cecil Wright claims it was the “effective cause” of the transaction after introducing Storonsky to NIXIE while she was still under construction, and alleges the final deal was completed directly between the buyer and seller. Storonsky’s family office has described the claim as without merit and says it will be defended.

No court has yet determined that the commission is payable.

So when NIXIE arrives in Port Hercule, there will be plenty to talk about alongside her beautiful design and engineering.

I’ll be there for the Monaco Yacht Show. If you’re attending too, come and say hello.

I’ll see you in .

Dusting off the IRONMAN Triathlon bike and getting the km’s in before the sun comes out..

Run, walk, bike or swim I make sure I force myself to get outdoors every morning - for my mind just as much as my fitness.

What do you do to start the day off right?

PS any cycling fans out there guess what the bike is?

PPS I’ve named her Maxima. In case you were wondering.

I asked billionaire Lürssen yacht owner John Caudwell to explain his yachting experiences… he didn’t hold back!

So…I’ve done it again.

I’ve just booked my second IRONMAN Triathlon 70.3 in in March.

Meaning…. the little spare time I have you’ll now find me swimming, cycling and running… 🏊 🚴‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

…with my fifth in in November, chucked in between now and then, for good measure.

…I’m not entirely sure why I do this to myself.

Wish me luck 😅
