Overview
PLANET NINE is worth shortlisting for larger private groups, celebrations, and corporate hosting. The planning focus should be turquoise anchorages, sunset returns, and realistic hops between Ibiza, Formentera, Mallorca, and Menorca, then dates, cabins, onboard rhythm, and a realistic port strategy.
Charter fit
PLANET NINE is best considered for larger private groups, celebrations, and corporate hosting, with a flagship charter mood built around privacy, hosting, and status. The useful planning angle is a private celebration or corporate hosting brief, not a generic yacht-listing comparison.
Shortlist logic
PLANET NINE should make the shortlist when the brief needs a private celebration or corporate hosting brief around Mediterranean and Ibiza. The decision should weigh 240'2 / 73.2m, 12 guests, 9 cabins, 2018 against route timing and guest flow.
Use PLANET NINE when the brief calls for a flagship charter mood built around privacy, hosting, and status. At 240'2 / 73.2m, the yacht has a different planning profile from a simple day boat. The key question is whether the route protects hosting time on deck.
For Balearic Yacht, the route should start with Menorca coves with a calmer family pace. That keeps the charter practical around turquoise anchorages, sunset returns, and realistic hops between Ibiza, Formentera, Mallorca, and Menorca, especially in peak weeks. The port decision should shape the day around anchorage quality before adding beach clubs or sunset timing.
The earlier the request is shaped, the cleaner the shortlist becomes. May to October, with July and August best handled through early routing and clear guest plans. The broker note should be honest about limits: availability, cruising area, and APA assumptions should be checked before presenting PLANET NINE as confirmed.
The onboard experience is defined by how guests use the space. Water toys and tenders make the day more active when the anchorage is right. For this yacht, the occasion is usually stronger when it is treated as a private celebration or corporate hosting brief.
A fair shortlist should explain why PLANET NINE is preferred over the next option. In this case, ask whether check whether the yacht is being shortlisted for its real fit or only for its headline specs, then compare rates and availability.
The main caveat is simple: availability, cruising area, and APA assumptions should be checked before presenting PLANET NINE as confirmed. This does not weaken the yacht; it makes the recommendation more precise and easier to trust.

Ice-classed Planet Nine’s exterior design is the work of celebrated Tim Heywood who has created a handsome, naval-inspired profile capable of long-range cruising and fulfilling the needs of the most intrepid travellers. Her upper deck aft is dedicated to a fully-operational helipad, with a below deck hangar and refuelling capabilities. Forward of this is luxe area designed for outdoor relaxation, dining and entertaining, while the sundeck is equipped with a Jacuzzi, giant sunpads, a bar and further seating areas. There is also a chic beach club which leads to an expansive swim platform.
Behind the stunning interior of Planet Nine is London-based design house Mlinaric, Henry and Zervudachi (MHZ) and, despite being built for exploration, it still features every luxury expected from a modern day superyacht. The overall atmosphere recalls the elegance and timelessness of a classic yacht, but there is an enlivening touch of modernity. MHZ has successfully fulfilled the brief to reproduce the comfort and intimacy of a villa, with all on-board spaces suitable for year-round living. As the entire main deck is devoted to the master suite, the upper deck boasts exceptional living areas, including a panoramic observation lounge with views forward through full-length window and a formal dining area for the entire charter party. An elevator connects all five decks.

From an expansive and elegantly styled master deck to a helipad and hugely stocked water toy garage to an exquisite spa facilities and beach club, it's clear Planet Nine is trail-blazing a new breed of luxury expedition yacht. Ice-classed, she is one of the few charter yachts whose rugged explorer looks are a true reflection of her capabilities and she can effortlessly transport guests from the Antarctica to the South Pacific to the Mediterranean to the Caribbean.
As a custom displacement yacht, ice-classed Planet Nine features ‘at anchor stabilisers’ which work at zero speed, increasing on-board comfort while at anchor and on rough waters. Planet Nine is classified as Lloyd’s Register EMEA ID ICE-CLASS. With a cruising speed of 14 knots, a maximum speed of 16 knots and an exceptional range of 6,000nm from her 64,854 fuel tanks, she is the perfect combination of performance and luxury.
Spanning across the entire main deck, the 3,000-square-foot master suite serves as a private apartment for the principal charterer. Divided into two distinct areas, the space includes an expansive cabin aft with a full en-suite and dressing rooms, and a large salon forward with a study area and further cabin. A VIP suite occupies much of the bridge deck, while the remaining five double cabins span off a central corridor on the lower deck. Guests can access these from an entrance and lobby at the stern of the luxury yacht, which also gives direct access to the beach club and spa facilities. In total, Planet Nine can sleep up to 12 guests in eight cabins on a luxury yacht charter.
