NFL team ownership brings together some of America’s wealthiest individuals, and a number of them have built substantial yacht portfolios. Several feature in the YachtBuyer YB100, which ranks the world’s biggest yachts by the true measurement of gross tonnage. Shahid Khan, Arthur Blank and Terry Pegula have each owned a succession of yachts, while others have stayed with the same vessel for years.
Here are seven of the largest superyachts linked to current NFL ownership, followed by three notable yachts owned by former franchise owners...
122m Kismet - Shahid Khan, Jacksonville Jaguars
At 122m, Kismet is the largest yacht on this list. Delivered by Lürssen in 2024, the 4,918GT yacht features exterior design by Nuvolari Lenard and interiors by Reymond Langton Design, with accommodation for 16 guests.
Khan is an experienced Lürssen client. The latest Kismet is his third yacht from the German yard and replaced the 95.2m Kismet delivered in 2014, which was sold in 2023 and renamed Whisper. An earlier Kismet preceded her, giving Khan a yacht ownership history stretching back well over a decade. The current yacht includes a certified helipad, spa, nightclub, underwater lounge and hybrid propulsion system capable of electric-only operation.
111m DreAMBoat - Arthur Blank, Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank's yachting story has recently moved into a much larger category. Oceanco delivered the new 111m DreAMBoat in 2025, a 4,550GT project with exterior design by Espen Øino International and interiors by Mark Berryman Design.
109m Bravo Eugenia - Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones commissioned the 109m Bravo Eugenia, delivered by Oceanco in 2018. Named in honor of his wife, Gene Eugenia Jones, the 4,500GT yacht was designed by Nuvolari Lenard with interiors from Reymond Langton Design.
Unlike several owners here, Jones did not arrive at the project after a documented succession of privately owned superyachts. The family had spent decades chartering before commissioning Bravo Eugenia. The motor yacht has seven guest cabins, two helipads, a swimming pool and extensive wellness facilities.
86m Aquila - The Kroenke Family, Los Angeles Rams
The 85.6m Aquila is linked to the Kroenke family through Ann Walton Kroenke, wife of Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke.
Delivered by Derecktor in 2010 as Cakewalk, Aquila was acquired by Walton Kroenke several years later and underwent a major rebuild at Pendennis. With a gross tonnage of 2,998GT, her interiors includes seven guest cabins, a cinema, gym and elevator, while a pool sits forward on the sundeck. The Kroenke family has also previously been linked to the 64.5m Benetti Seanna, which has since changed hands and was sold again as Mega Global III in August 2026.
61m Top Five II - Terry Pegula, Buffalo Bills
Built by Royal Hakvoort, 61m Top Five II was delivered in 2021 and is publicly linked to Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula. The 1,291GT yacht has an ice-class hull, a 4,200-nautical-mile range and a dedicated owner's deck.
The name has history. Pegula previously owned a 48m yacht called Top Five (now Amore), and the move to a larger vessel reportedly followed a party where around 70 guests had to seek shelter inside during heavy rain. That experience influenced the significantly larger Top Five II.
43m Lady Gayle Marie - Gayle Benson, New Orleans Saints
The 42.7m Lady Gayle Marie has one of the longest builder relationships on the list. Burger Boat Company delivered the yacht in 2010 for repeat owners Tom and Gayle Benson, with the vessel named after Gayle.
She followed a 37.2m Burger also named Lady Gayle Marie, delivered in 2002 and now known as Ar-De. The newer yacht was created for an experienced Burger owner and includes a glass circular elevator serving all four decks. Gayle Benson succeeded her husband as owner of the New Orleans Saints following his death in 2018.
40m Winning Drive - Steve Bisciotti, Baltimore Ravens
Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti is linked to the 40m Winning Drive by Westport, delivered in 2012. Built around the established Westport 130 platform, she accommodates 10 guests across five cabins and can reach around 24 knots.
Bisciotti had a remarkably similar yacht before her. His previous vessel was another Westport 130 carrying the Winning Drive name (now named Excellence), with ownership reports identifying the earlier 2007 yacht as the vessel now called Excellence.
Superyachts Owned by Former NFL Owners
Former Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder remains strongly associated with the 93m Lady S from Feadship. Delivered in 2019, she features a two-deck IMAX cinema, certified helipad and seven guest staterooms. Snyder and his wife Tanya had spent years chartering before commissioning their own yacht.
Former Philadelphia Eagles owner Norman Braman owns the 53.34m Feadship Kisses, delivered in 2000. Feadship says the yacht was conceived around her owners' modern art collection, while reporting stretching back more than two decades identifies Norman and Irma Braman as her owners. Braman owned the Eagles from 1985 until selling the franchise in 1994.
Former Washington minority owner Dwight Schar was linked to the 60m Lürssen now named Gipta. Delivered in 2010 as Solemates, she later became Huntress and Bella Vita before taking her current name following a 2026 sale. Designed by Espen Øino, Gipta has an internal volume of 1,218GT and accommodates 12 guests.
