Former professional basketball player Tony Parker is about to embark on a new adventure in retirement with the delivery of his brand new superyacht, the “Infinity Nine.” Here are the key details about this luxurious vessel:

Retirement Pursuit: Tony Parker retired from professional basketball in 2019, and he’s now venturing into the world of superyachts. He has been collaborating with AvA Yachts in Antalya, Turkey, on the construction of his yacht.

Kando 110 Explorer Series: The “Infinity Nine” is the second hull of the Kando 110 explorer series yacht. These yachts are known for combining elegant styling and luxury amenities with the capabilities of a far-reaching explorer.

Tribute to the San Antonio Spurs: The yacht’s name, “Infinity Nine,” is a tribute to Tony Parker’s jersey number during his time with the San Antonio Spurs.

Launch: The superyacht was launched at the Antalya shipyard on August 5, 2022, bringing its delivery to Tony Parker closer.

Designed with Parker’s Input: Tony Parker was actively involved in the design process of the yacht. He and his advisory team traveled to Turkey for meetings at the shipyard and to oversee progress.

Size and Accommodation: The “Infinity Nine” is 110 feet (33.5 meters) long and has four decks. It offers a generous volume of 320 gross tons (GT) and can accommodate 12 guests across six staterooms, as well as a crew of six.

Luxury Features: Highlights of the yacht include a spacious owner’s suite with a private balcony, a spa pool on the sun deck, a swim platform, a deck lounge, and various indoor and outdoor relaxation areas. The yacht is equipped with water toys, including jetskis, seabobs, snorkeling gear, and towables.

Performance: The “Infinity Nine” has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure. It is powered by twin Volvo Penta diesel engines, allowing it to reach a top speed of 14 knots (approximately 16.1 mph or 26 kph). It boasts an impressive range of over 6,500 nautical miles (approximately 7,480 miles or 12,038 km) at cruising speed.

Pricing: The exact price of the “Infinity Nine” has not been publicly disclosed, but it’s expected to be a significant investment. Charter agencies have already listed the yacht with weekly rates starting at $142,000 in the high season. AvA Yachts typically sells a Kando 110 for prices starting at $8.6 million, but Parker’s yacht is likely a custom unit.

Tony Parker’s “Infinity Nine” promises to be a luxurious and capable vessel, ideal for enjoying the seas and exploring new destinations in style and comfort.
