It was built by Christensen Yachts with an overall length of 47m.
The 12,000-gallon fuel tank has a range of 4,000 miles and the top speed is 17 knots.
It cost $20 million and contains a large Jacuzzi, gym, theatre, sky-lounge bar, walk-in refrigerator and accommodation for 21 guests.
It carries 3 SeaDoos, 2 kayaks and 2 Vespa scooters on board.
It was purchased in 2004 in time for his wedding and the couple spent their wedding night aboard.
Its name reflects his desire for a sanctuary from the media.
It took 3 years to build but the owner then sued the builders for using his name and photos for promotion of their business. He won and received $1.6 million.
It was offered to the owner’s wife as part settlement for their divorce settlement – but she refused, saying it was too expensive to maintain.

He is one of the most successful athletes of all time.
He is the youngest player to achieve the career Grand Slam in his sport.
He has held the number one position in world rankings for the most consecutive weeks and for the greatest total number of weeks.
He has been awarded Player of the Year for his sport a record eight times.
Following the breakdown of his marriage and a multitude of injuries his achievements have become erratic.
This year has been a dismal one for him with back and wrist injuries and low scores.
Recent surgery to his back means he will not now play until 2016.
He is known by a nickname in honour of his father’s friend.
His real first name is Eldrick and his middle name, Tont, is a traditional Thai name.
He has now bought a new, smaller sports fishing yacht named “Solitude”.
