On board blockbuster film Tenet yacht Planet Nine

The highly-anticipated new film from director Christopher Nolan, Tenet, has hit the big screen this month. As one of the main settings in the film Tenet, yacht Planet Nine fits the movie's round-the-world atmosphere and storyline perfectly with her stand out capabilities as a well-travelled luxury superyacht for charter. 

Here we take a look inside the 73-metre Italian flagship to find out what encouraged the film-makers to feature Planet Nine.

Admiral teamed up with an all-star project team to bring to life a new breed of rugged yet refined voyager that is packed with every imaginable requirement that her owner could ever need.

For the yachting gurus amongst our readers, Planet Nine’s tough exterior should be instantly reminiscent of a famous German superyacht by designer Tim Heywood. 

Indeed, not only does she share certain similar lines to that of the 90-metre Ice from Lürssen, but is built with the same ocean-crossing and independent-cruising capabilities as her older look-a-like sister. But what sets Planet Nine apart is the level of sophistication and abundance of features that has been crammed into only 73 metres of superyacht.

Considering that her entire aft section is dedicated to helicopter operations and thus utilising only the forward part of the vessel for guests areas, that number becomes even more impressive. 

Her slender beam of 12.8 metres supports four exterior decks and one enormous commercially graded helicopter landing pad at the stern for unlimited adventuring when on board. Combine that with a range of 6,000 nm and the limits to yacht travel you once thought existed quickly disappear. Photo: Thierry Ameller

But it's not all about trailblazing and remote cruising for months on end. Planet Nine is just as comfortable hanging out off St Tropez or Staniel Cay, and she has the deck spaces to back it up. 

The fun starts on the sundeck where guests will find a jacuzzi and a sheltered family-sized dining area. At 15 metres above sea level, the view from here is well worth getting up for at the crack of dawn for a morning yoga session. Photo: Thierry AmellerPhoto: Thierry Ameller

The bridge deck below is dedicated for ship operations and the exclusive VIP apartment that is situated aft. What could well be described as a second owner’s cabin, the VIP suite on this deck comes with its own private aft balcony that stretches nearly the full beam of the vessel.

Planet Nine’s upper deck is dedicated entirely to the comfort of her guests and is also the largest of them all, stretching from the helipad all the way forward to the bow. 

Inside, the saloon is decorated with natural elements such the raw teak deck, leather sofas and wooden panelling, all expertly installed by German interior house, Fitz.

With the helicopter stowed away in its own hangar one level below, the helipad is left clear to be set up as a floating party deck wherever in the world you may be.

Here you will also find the onboard cinema for those rainy nights at anchor that are better spent inside. Photo: Thierry AmellerPhoto: Thierry Ameller

The main deck is reserved for Planet Nine’s two master staterooms. The first is located forward with the bed offset to port and a large lounge and office space on the starboard side. A second is located amidships and comes with two side terraces and an eclectic en-suite bathroom.Photo: Thierry AmellerPhoto: Thierry AmellerPhoto: Thierry Ameller

Also on this deck is where Planet Nine’s 26 professional crew members reside.Photo: Thierry Ameller
