Corona billionaires gave their 260ft yacht a glow-up and now it’s overflowing with luxury

Billionaire brothers Robert and Richard Sands, who run Constellation Brands, have given their 260-foot yacht Moonstone a major glow-up, and now it looks more luxurious than ever.

Robert and Richard Sands serve as CEO and chairman of Constellation Brands, which was originally founded by their dad Marvin. 

The company is a major beer, wine, and spirits supplier in the US and has acquired numerous big names in the industry, including Svedka Vodka and High West Whiskey. 

It also owns the US rights to Grupo Modelo, which produces beers including Corona and Modelo.

The billionaires’ 260ft yacht has been given a major makeover

Many of the world’s richest and most successful folks decide to splash out on their own yacht, like Jeff Bezos, who is the proud owner of the $500 million Koru superyacht, or Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who bought a super-sized  $450 million megayacht.

Constellation Brands, billionaire Sands brothers also own a high-end yacht named Moonstone. 

And the pair have just paid to give it a major makeover and refit by Damen Yachting and UK design studio Harrison Eidsgaard. 

The project took 26 months and represented somewhat of a rebirth for Moonstone, with changes made to the layout, paintwork, interiors, and even an extension added. 

Moonstone can sleep 12 guests in its six cabins, and has a crew of 19. 

New additions to the superyacht include a Sun Deck with a bar and seating area; a winter garden up on the bridge deck; and a Beach Club with an outdoor pool and wellness center. 

On the lower deck, a swim platform has been included so guests can enjoy a bit of swimming or make use of the various water toys. 

“We are very pleased to have been part of this considerable project,” said Damen Yachting refit sales manager Michel Coens.

“Moonstone is already a real showstopper, a truly beautiful yacht. The whole team worked so hard, putting their energy into transforming and perfecting her to meet the updated requirements of the owner.”

The eye-watering cost of keeping a superyacht

While treating yourself to a brand-new superyacht will make a serious dent in your bank balance, that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to superyacht ownership.

Jeff Bezos reportedly spends a whopping $25 million every year to maintain Korus, meanwhile he spent another $10 million on a support yacht for his boat.

Even just filling up the tank can cost tens of thousands, with one superyacht owner revealing he pays $250,000 to top his up with fuel.
