Former Washington Redskins owner's $192,000,000 superyacht lost power and had to float to the UK for repairs

The superyacht Lady S, owned by former Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder, has learned that even luxury can’t always outrun bad luck.

The $192 million vessel, built to embody wealth and perfection, recently lost power while crossing the Bay of Biscay, off the coast of France.

For a yacht that usually glides across oceans like royalty, this was quite an inconvenience.

This is is proof that even billionaires are not immune to travel snafus.

Mechanics had to be flown in from the Netherlands

The 305-foot Feadship-built Lady S is a modern maritime marvel, being a 2020 World Superyacht Award winner.

However, its latest voyage was anything but graceful.

According to reports, she lost propulsion due to a mechanical engine failure, forcing her to limp toward the UK at just 1.5 knots.

Locals in Falmouth watched the spectacle as the enormous white superyacht glided into Carrick Roads, limping its way into the docks.

Her crew wasted no time responding to the crisis.

The yacht’s EC155-rated helipad, normally used for VIP arrivals, became a flying pit lane as engineers and mechanics were airlifted in via an Airbus H145 helicopter.

Witnesses saw the chopper make multiple trips to and from the deck.

According to The Falmouth Packet, an engineer even flew in from the Netherlands, where the ship was manufactured, to inspect the engines before Lady S made a brief stopover in Truro.

There was probably still electricity on the superyacht

Whether Dan Snyder himself was aboard remains unclear, but if he was, he likely wasn’t bored.

Lady S features a $3 million IMAX Dolby cinema, the first of its kind at sea, along with a convertible sports court, a luxury beach club, spa, and ice plunge pool.

Basically, if you’re going to break down somewhere, this is probably a pretty good place.

Experts suggest the vessel’s ‘power loss’ likely affected propulsion rather than electricity, meaning everyone aboard remained comfortable while drifting to safety.

Now safely moored in Falmouth Harbor, Lady S is expected to return to full working order soon.
