JUST because he isn’t a high-flying media executive anymore doesn’t mean former Domain chief Antony Catalano can’t live it up like one, with his company appearing to have taken delivery of a $2.5 million super yacht.

JUST because he isn’t a high-flying media executive anymore doesn’t mean 51-year-old former Domain chief Antony Catalano can’t live it up like one.
Catalano’s company appears to have taken delivery of a $2.5 million super yacht in Palma, Majorca.
Catalano’s wealth has been estimated at $70 million. The former journalist turned entrepreneur owns the Rae’s on Wategos resort in Byron Bay. The 29m super yacht looks set to help build the luxury Rae’s brand internationally.

CATALANO CARRIES ON LIVING HIGH LIFE
Catalano shocked Australian media and real estate honchos in July by walking away from Domain, the property listing business he built into a $1.7 billion company.
Captain Cat told Page 13 a while back he was planning on taking the brood — all eight kids from preschoolers to businessmen — on a European vacation and appears to be doing just that on the high European seas (pictured inset), where many other Melbourne fat cats are also docked.
Documents lodged this month show Catalano has joined his son Jordan as a secretary and director of Rae’s Yacht Charters. Jordan set up the company a year ago.
The luxury yacht accommodates eight people with a crew of five “waiting on their every need” according to the PR guff.
The new purchase was originally dubbed the Viking Legacy, but was renamed Sea Raes.
Those wanting to channel their inner bogan while cruising the Med can throw their leg over two Jet Skis included in the package.
Sea Raes also has a “large range of skis, wakeboards and inflatable towables”.
“This is the kind of tranquil yacht hire Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane visitors dream of,” spruiks the PR manifest. It’s chilly down on the peninsula darling, so we better head to the Med.
