Inside Tommy Hilfiger’s $46 MILLION mega yacht Flag which he deems his ‘most-prized possession’

What does a fashion empire buy you? 

Well for Tommy Hilfiger, his eponymous brand enabled him to land his ‘most prized-possession’ – a $46 million mega yacht – complete with seven chic cabins, a rooftop jacuzzi, a pizza oven, an elevator and more. 

The 71-year-old recently welcomed Los Angeles-based YouTuber Enes Yilmazer aboard his bobbing beauty ‘Flag’ to get a taste of the high life on the high seas.

Yilmazer’s 51-minute-long film offers a comprehensive tour of the 204.5ft vessel, along with bite-sized interviews with Hilfiger and his wife, Dee Ocleppo, where they talk about their love of yachting.

In one scene, Hilfiger explains to Yilmazer how he has ‘done a lot’ to the mega yacht – which can sleep 12 guests at a time in seven cabins, as well as homing 17 crew members – since purchasing it, with some of his additions including ‘new air conditioning, [a] new galley, new tenders, new toys.’

He adds: ‘I keep it in impeccable condition… The crew is incredibly experienced and professional… my family looks at them as family.’

On the subject of the yacht’s name Hilfiger – who founded his business in 1985 – reveals that he changed the moniker from Faith to Flag in honor of his company. 

He says with a smile: ‘The reason I changed it… is because the logo for my company is a red, white and blue flag and actually because of my company I was able to buy the yacht.’

In a first-person piece for GQ Magazine, Hilfiger previously described Flag as his ‘most-prized possession’ and his ‘summer home.’

He said that when he is onboard, he most likes to spend his time on the rear deck, ‘because you see water on all sides.’ 

In terms of where the boat has sailed, Hilfiger revealed some of his favorite ports of call as St Barths, Mustique, Saint-Tropez, and Portofino. 

Monaco is another of the designer’s top locations where he has welcomed the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Kendall Jenner, and Bella Hadid on board for parties during the Grand Prix.

In his recent YouTube video, Yilmazer explains that he was lucky to stay on Hilfiger’s yacht while it cruised around the Bahamas and everything about the experience was ‘incredible’ and ‘unforgettable.’

Some of his highlights included ‘the food, the picturesque views and the hospitality of the crew onboard.’

The Turkish native leads his camera crew around the yacht and spends time showcasing each area.

The main salon, the formal dining area, the guests state rooms, and the owner’s state room, are among the spots he dips into. 

Many of the rooms feature TVs that are hidden from view. 

There is one secreted by a panel in the salon bar, one lurking behind an artwork in the same room and another that pops up from the foot of the bed in the owner’s cabin. 

Other luxury features include underfloor heating in the bathrooms along with natural stone detailing, and downlighters on the clothing rails in the ‘super spacious’ walk-in closet off the owner’s cabin so that guests can see their garbs in the dark. 

Meanwhile in the main salon, one cabinet offers an expansive whisky and cognac collection including a Glenlivet Archive 21 Yr ($300), a Remy Martin Cognac Louis XIII ($4,500) and a Hennessy XO Cognac ($200).

For cigar enthusiasts, another temperature controlled cabinet showcases some of the finest rolls. 

Yilmazer also visits some of the less glamorous areas of the motor yacht including the wheel house, the engine room and the crew quarters where 17 staff members live.

A beautiful curved wooden staircase connects the yacht’s different levels

Flag was originally built in 2000 by Dutch shipbuilder Feadship. She was christened Cakewalk but the name has changed several times since

When he’s not on his boat, Hilfiger charters her out through Burgess from $448,000 a week

Yacht broker Burgess says of the vessel: ‘One of the most high-profile yachts on the charter scene, 62m motor yacht Flag is the ideal choice for those looking for a sophisticated, yet fun vacation’

On the technical side of things, the yacht has a cruising speed of 15 knots an hour

So that crew and guests alike can navigate the yacht’s four levels with ease, there is an elevator running from floor to floor. 

Alternatively, there is a ‘phenomenal’ curved, wood paneled staircase. 

Moving outside, there are multiple outdoor dining areas and an over-sized jacuzzi on the sundeck with a glass barrier so bathers can soak up the views.

Another standout feature is a pizza oven, which Yilmazer says he rarely sees on yachts.  

On the technical side of things, the yacht has a cruising speed of 15 knots an hour, while its maximum speed is 16 knots an hour. 

While at cruising speed it consumes 500 liters per hour. 

According to Luxury Viewer, this means the yacht would cost roughly $2,500 per hour to run which would equate to around $31,000 for a 12-hour cruising period.
