Tom Bradyâs yacht built to be a Rolls Royce on water
Josh Cascio reports
TAMPA, Fla. - Tom Brady s yacht easily stood out among the rest of the boats in Wednesday s Super Bowl parade. Dubbed Viva a Vida, the 53-foot yacht is a Wajer 55-S. It has more deck space. The ‘S’ stands for sport. It’s lighter. It’s slightly faster than the regular 55 which is more like a cruiser, said Dries Wajer, CEO of Wajer Yachts.
The company was founded by Wajer s father in 1992. It is a very high-quality craft that we build in the Netherlands where we have our own shipyard, Wajer explained. We build about 50 to 60 boats a year.
