Superyacht Aviva, Owned by Billionaire Joe Lewis, Takes Up Residence in Dartmouth

A superyacht, Aviva, owned by billionaire Joe Lewis, has taken up residence in the small town of Dartmouth, Devon. The 322-foot vessel, worth an estimated $300 million, arrived in August 2024 after sailing down from Troon in Scotland. Its prolonged stay has been the talk of the town.

Aviva, which can accommodate up to 16 people, is known for its lavish amenities. It features onyx and marble interiors and even has a padel tennis court. The superyacht can reach a top speed of 20 knots and is equipped with an eco-friendly hybrid electric propulsion system. Locals initially speculated that Aviva had arrived for a local regatta, but have been left baffled by its extended stay.

The superyacht, which is part office and part residence, has dominated the landscape of Dartmouth. Its presence has attracted significant attention from locals, who are curious about the billionaire's choice of mooring spot. However, no official reason for choosing Dartmouth has been publicly disclosed.

Aviva, owned by former Tottenham Hotspur FC owner Joe Lewis, continues to be a prominent feature in Dartmouth.

The superyacht's presence has certainly added a touch of luxury and intrigue to the small coastal town.
