Justin Bieber may be a world-famous singer, songwriter, and concert film actor, but it’s important to remember that he was just 13 years old when he started his career in music. What did this teen pop star turned R&B artist do with his success, and does he own a yacht?
Justin Bieber does not own a yacht, but he frequently rents or charters them for him and his friends to use. Chartering yachts is more popular than owning them, since it’s cheaper and takes less upkeep, especially if the renter uses them infrequently or seasonally.
Read on below to find out more about Bieber’s yacht adventures, and which celebrities do own yachts.
Bieber’s Yacht Parties and Hangouts
Celebrity parties always seem so luxurious and extravagant because they have the resources and time to travel to faraway places and enjoy themselves. Yachts or flying first class are upsides and ways to keep a star’s privacy, ensuring that they’ll be able to truly get away and relax with their friends or family.
While owning a yacht takes a lot of upkeep, requires keeping staff on board, and organizing, chartering or renting yachts is easier for a lot of celebrities. This is what Bieber does, as he doesn’t own one yacht in particular, but often charters them for different parties or hangouts.
During his early career, when Bieber was a teenager, he would go on yachts with his friends for small parties or just to hang out on the water. More recently, Justin and Hailey Bieber have been spotted relaxing on yachts as small getaways.
Shortly after they were married in 2018, Hailey posted these pictures of their time on a yacht, according to the World Music Awards Twitter account. She also posted this picture, simply captioned “The Biebers,” on Instagram in early 2019.
While the Biebers have received some negative comments on social media from fans who mean well but may not fully understand their situation, they don’t let the criticism distract them from enjoying their yacht getaways together.
While renting or chartering yachts is popular, which celebrities go on yachts enough to get their own?

He talked about his love for yachting in an interview, saying, “Because I have a yacht, I am able to forget about everything and get away from that tiring stress. I do have a real passion for [superyachts]. It is rare that I see a superyacht from a distance and I don’t know its name. I know them all!”
Roberto Cavalli, the Italian fashion designer and inventor, known for his use of exotic animal prints and creating different fashion trends and looks. His yacht, named Freedom, was modeled after Batman’s batmobile, featuring a sleek design and black exterior.
