Photos: A look at Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan’s yacht Kismet through the years

It’s a big week for Shad Khan’s Jacksonville Jaguars.

The team has the top pick in the NFL Draft once again, giving them a chance to get some help for Trevor Lawrence, who was picked No. 1 overall by the Jags last year.

In honor of the Jags’ upcoming moment in the spotlight, let’s take a trip down memory lane with another one of Khan’s assets: The Kismet, his nearly $200M yacht.

‘I WANT TO LIVE ON IT’

Action Sports Jax’s Brent Martineau first gave you a look at the mega yacht when it was brand-new and anchored in the Thames River ahead of the Jags’ London game against the Dallas Cowboys in 2014.

Khan sold his previous yacht in 2013, replacing it with the 300-foot Kismet, which took two years to build. Back then, the Kismet had a statue of a Jaguar on the front.

One of the Kismet’s onlookers in London declared “I want to live on it!”

‘MY FEET WOULD NEVER TOUCH LAND’

The yacht made it to the River City in 2015, docking in the St. Johns River next to the CSX building.

Deborah Kaczorowski of Jacksonville told Action News Jax then she was impressed with the Kismet.

“My feet would never touch land — maybe once a week —- if I had something like that,” Kaczorowski said. “I’d enjoy that bad boy.”

KISMET FOR SALE

In October 2020, the Kismet was listed for sale .

At that time, the asking price was $199,039,663. Now, the Kismet’s listing says “POA” under the asking price.

“POA” means “price on application” or “price on asking,” which means the seller must be contacted to get the price.

‘I CAN MOVE THE NEEDLE’

In December 2021, the Kismet was the site of an informal question-and-answer session with the media as Khan reflected on his 10-year anniversary as the owner of the Jaguars.

He reiterated his hope to help elevate the city to new heights and bring a Super Bowl to Jags fans.

“There’s a vacuum here, there’s a football team here and as an owner I can move the needle,” Khan said. “How many times do you get a chance to move a needle in a good way in a great American city, very rarely. That’s the power here.”

Shad Khan reflects on ten years as Jaguars owner

owner of jacksonville jaguars yacht

Shad Khan talks about ownership of Jaguars at ten years (Brent Martineau)

Jacksonville, Fl — At age 13, Shad Khan hitch-hiked from Pakistan through Iran and Iraq with a group of Boy Scouts. At age 16, Khan arrived in the United States without knowing anyone or the direction his life might lead.

Now 71, Khan has made himself into one of the richest men in the world and for the last decade, the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

In Jacksonville, most know his story of success. Also in Jacksonville, die hard Jaguars fans wonder if sustainable success will ever happen for the franchise Khan owns.

On Monday night, the eve of Khan’s 10 year anniversary of owning the Jaguars, Khan reflected on the last decade in Jacksonville. He reiterated his hope to help elevate the city to new heights and bring a Super Bowl to Jags fans. Khan met with a group of local media aboard his almost $200 million yacht, The Kismet, in an informal question and answer session.

While there is a frustration over the football losses, Khan’s excitement for the City of Jacksonville and its potential continues to be palpable. “There’s a vacuum here, there’s a football team here and as an owner I can move the needle,” said Khan. “How many times do you get a chance to move a needle in a good way in a great American city, very rarely. That’s the power here.”

Khan defines his greatest success in the last ten years as supporting the passing of a Human Rights Ordinance (HRO) in Jacksonville. “If we had won the Super Bowl, I told the players that, it would still be the number two thing for me,” said Khan.

“Because of what the team and players did to put us in a position to get enough votes to get HRO passed.” Khan has been the catalyst for downtown development. The St. Johns River, northeast Florida, an international airport and other features of Jacksonville make the River City into a canvas ready to be redefined for a visionary. Khan believes in the picture Jacksonville can paint. “I think the city needs aspiration,” said Khan.

“You are defined by the best experience in town and the worst experience in town and we need to elevate the best experience in town.”

In October, the Jacksonville Shipyards project was approved. Phase I will include a marina, a Four Seasons Hotel, a restored Met Park and office building space.

The momentum of downtown and investments of Khan into the stadium and surrounding areas have squashed national narratives of the franchise moving. “I never started that rumor,” said Khan.

When asked if he’s proud of helping stop the narrative, Khan sternly said, “It’s not important to me at all. You believe what you’re going to believe.”

The next step in stability for the Jaguars franchise will be a renovation of the stadium they have called home since the birth of the team in 1995. While a new stadium renovation is not imminent, communications with the city have started. “Don’t think for a moment the path to keeping a team in the city is team performance,” said Jaguars President Mark Lamping, also in attendance Monday night. “Winning is the most important thing but it’s not the only thing. Shad is not behaving like an owner that is moving, we’ve seen people behave that way and Shad is not.” Since Khan bought the Jaguars in 2011, the Rams, Raiders and Chargers have all relocated to new cities due to stadium issues. “We have to have a stadium that not only keeps Florida-Georgia (annual college game in Jacksonville),” said Khan.

“The college playoff is going to be expanding. We need to have a stadium that qualifies for that.” The team currently playing inside the stadium is struggling again with Khan as owner.

In the last decade, the Jaguars record is 41-116. Notably, the Jaguars did reach the AFC Championship during the 2017 season, but the other seasons have been dismal including this 2-11 campaign under Urban Meyer.

Khan has been known for his patience as an owner in the last decade. He is more involved than most know including attending Saturday night team meetings, communicating with coaches, and has an open line with players. “I want to do the right thing for the team. I want to do the right thing for the city,” said Khan on Monday. “That, to me, is way more important than acting helter-skelter on emotion.” Meyer is a polarizing figure. The head coach has come under fire for much of his entire first season in the NFL and most recently over the weekend amid reports of dysfunction inside the building. “What concerns me is wins and losses,” said Khan.

“What’s different about this thing is - you have losses and you have drama. “In the past, it was like you were, quote, the lowly jaguars and everyone left you alone,” Khan said. “Now, the scrutiny we have is really something different and how much of that is we’re bringing it upon ourselves, how much of that is deserved, and how much of that is he won wherever he was and this is something he’s never dealt with. “When you win in football, you create enemies. The only way you can really deal with that is you have to win again.” Khan likes to win. He wants to win. He knows the fans in Jacksonville have endured a lot over the last decade. “I feel the (fans) pain, you know,” Khan said. “I know it because I’m living it. We’re going to do better.”

The next decade for the Jaguars owner starts on Sunday in Jacksonville as the Jaguars play the Houston Texans at 1pm on CBS47.

Shahid Khan’s Yacht: The Story Behind the Jaguars Owner’s $200 Million Superyacht

Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan left no expense unspent on his superyacht, which is one of the most luxurious yachts available.

The custom-built boat is worth an estimated $200 million and allows extravagant travel and extreme comfort on the open waters.

Inside Shahid Khan’s Yacht

With an estimated net worth of $11.6 billion, Khan is living a life of luxury with no expense spared on his superyacht.

The yacht is called “ Kismet ,” and its name derives from the Urdu word for destiny.

And, if you want to rent out Kismet, it will cost $1.2 million a week and has seen many celebrities occupy its luxurious lifestyle.

Guests have included Beyonce and Jay-Z, as well as NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Kismet was also used in “6 Underground,” a 2019 Netflix film that stars Ryan Reynolds.

Designed by Raymond Langton and Espen Oino, the vessel is 312 feet long, has five decks and eight state bedrooms, and is one of the most stylish yachts at sea.

Inside the boat are Khan’s lavish personal suites. They take up the front of the boat. His personal space contains an office, master bedroom, en suite rooms, and a jacuzzi.

The entertaining areas offer two video wall displays and a spa area. The spa is on the bottom deck and has a steam room, massage room, spa bath, and steam bath. Khan even hires a therapist to occupy the spa. On the same deck, there is a salon and a gym.

The yacht also has both an indoor and outdoor cinema.

For those guests lucky enough to stay on board, there are another seven bedrooms. There is even room for 26 crew members on board.

Outside, the boat has two helipads, a basketball court, and three pools. The yacht also comes with its very own firepit.

On the top deck, there is a pool, an outdoor dining area, and a large lounge. There is also a sports bar onboard that has everything you would expect, as well as barbeque facilities and a disco area.

The boat even comes with lots of goodies, with its garage offering jet skis, diving gear, and other toys to use out on the water.

Khan left the imprint of his Jaguars team on the boat when, on game day, a 13-foot statue of a Jaguar was on its helm.

The 312-foot 'Kismet' is a showman's palace designed with a far-out luxe look that includes gold, black, glass and full walls of video screens.

“The original intention was to make Kismet the most luxurious charter boat on the water,” Captain Dave Andrews told Robb Report . Nearly 10 years since the yacht was launched, Khan is ready to go bigger. His third custom-built Lürssen weighs 5,500 tons—almost double Kismet ’s weight—and is scheduled to be delivered in November. Kismet is listed for sale with Cecil Wright for a cool $160 million and is currently the largest yacht for sale on the market.

A Champagne-colored chandelier by Crystal Caviar is the most obvious feature of his brief to the designers. The statement light hangs in the central lobby next to a sweeping black-and-gold Art Deco staircase, suspended, of course, over a grand piano. There is a glass elevator in the lobby with access to all decks. The overall feel of the yacht is an ornate gentleman’s club with lavish marble, etched glass flooring, gold-leaf finishes, and backlit onyx.

The 312-foot 'Kismet' is a showman's palace designed with a far-out luxe look that includes gold, black, glass and full walls of video screens.

“We either anchor in Canary Wharf or go to the warship mooring downstream of Tower Bridge as the boss likes the view of the bridge,” says Andrews.

The 312-foot 'Kismet' is a showman's palace designed with a far-out luxe look that includes gold, black, glass and full walls of video screens.

The sports theme continues with two full-height video walls—used to display images of Khan’s football players when hosting business events—that flank the central staircase leading into the double-height main salon and continue across the floor, walls, and ceiling. In the sky lounge, a large sports bar opens out across the bridge deck aft for hosting large groups of people. When the party keeps going, it converts into a disco with a built-in sound system.

On the foredeck is a touch-and-go helipad, though it’s never used. Instead, regular games of basketball are played with temporary netting erected to catch any balls that bounce out of court. “We always have a deckhand standing by on a Waverunner,” says Andrews.

The foredeck serves as the owner’s private deck with a Jacuzzi and is also used for yoga. It leads directly into the master suite with twin en suites, a private office, oval skylight, and one of three bioethanol fireplaces. The other two are in the main salon. When lit, they carry a cooler flame than a naked fire. There is also a foredeck fire pit for keeping guests warm on colder nights, which converts into a cocktail table.

Kismet has seven additional guest suites, sleeping 16 guests in total. This includes two VIPs and a sea cabin on the lower deck amidships for guests who suffer from seasickness. There are also crew quarters for 26.

The 312-foot 'Kismet' is a showman's palace designed with a far-out luxe look that includes gold, black, glass and full walls of video screens.

“The spa was mandated by the owners to be a place they can just chill out in,” says Andrews. It has a hammam, a spa bath, a cold plunge pool, a steam shower and a massage room with an onboard spa therapist. Opening shell doors in the gym allow for workouts by the water’s edge. There is also a separate hair and beauty salon, with a dedicated onboard hairdresser.

In the garage is a full chest of water toys and four tenders. Up top, the sun deck is built for lounging, with a pool and hot tub, sofas, sunpads, and outdoor dining under the hard top.

A crow’s nest platform is dedicated to viewing the ocean or sunning in privacy. It just goes to show that even on a vast, 312-foot yacht, cozy, intimate spaces rule the roost.

With both heating and air conditioning, it's perfect for the yacht’s cruising itinerary of the Caribbean in winter and the Mediterranean in summer.

Docking in London every year, Khan pays his respects to his English soccer club, Fulham FC , too.

"We either anchor in Canary Wharf or go to the warship mooring downstream of Tower Bridge as the boss likes the view of the bridge," Andrews said.

In the sky lounge, the Pakistani American sits at a large sports bar watching his teams out across the bridge deck.

It also transforms into a disco with a built-in stereo system.

Despite having a helipad, it's hardly used, instead being swapped out for a basketball court with netting erected to catch any balls that bounce off.

"We always have a deckhand standing by on a Waverunner," Andrews added.

The foredeck serves as a private deck with a Jacuzzi and is also used for yoga.

It opens directly into the master suite with a private office, an oval skylight, and one of three bioethanol fireplaces.

The Kismet has seven added guest suites, fitting 16 guests in total.

There are also crew quarters for up to 26.

Khan spends most of his time when he's not entertaining in the lower-deck spa.

"The spa was mandated by the owners to be a place they can just chill out in," Andrews shared.

It has a hammam ( Turkish -style bathtub), a spa bath, a cold plunge pool, a steam shower, and a massage room with an onboard therapist.

To top it all off, Khan has a crow's nest platform dedicated to viewing the stunning scenes of the ocean.
