History

Corsair II (built 1899 for J.P. Morgan)

Nero was commissioned and designed by London-born entrepreneur Neil Taylor. Nero's design is based on a line of Corsair yachts built by J.P. Morgan.[1] Taylor intended to restore a yacht from J.P. Morgan's era but was unable to find one that met his requirements, so he planned to build a modern replica.[1][8] Its architecture was designed by IMT Marine Consultants.[5][6] It was built by Corsair Yachts in China at Yantai Raffles Shipyard.[5][6] The ship launched in 2008.[8]

In 2009, Nero won Best Motor Yacht over 75 metres (246 ft) at the 2009 ShowBoats International Design Awards.[7][8][9] Also in 2009, the yacht was listed for sale with Merle Wood & Associates and Burgess at €75 million (US$98 million).[10][4] In April 2011, the price was reduced to €67.5 million (US$88.2 million),[10] and in 2012 the price was reduced again to €59.9 million (US$78.3 million).[9]

In 2014, Nero was sold[11] and in 2016 it underwent a renovation.[8]

Features

Nero features a master duplex suite with ensuite bath and shower rooms, a private sundeck and swimming pool.[10][5] It also includes a 'VIP' cabin, four other cabins, a 9.4m cabin cruiser, a 7.9m tender and a 5.5m side boarding platform.[10][11][3]
