Few holidaymakers and tourist workers on the deluxe Fijian island of Naviti can have missed James Packer’s gargantuan vessel IJE, lately moored in one of Naviti’s secluded coves. It clocks in at 108 metres!

Packer took delivery of IJE (named for his children Indigo, Jackson and Emmanuelle) in 2019 for a price believed to be north of $200 million. It was made by deluxe Italian yacht maker Benetti SpA and contains among its many amenities a gym, sauna, fire pit and 26 cabins.
