If you haven't caught on by now, not all superyachts are created equally. That said, today, we'll be exploring a floating haven that was, and still might be, owned by none other than the chewing gum empire's own William Wrigley Jr., the one and the same who's CEO of Wrigley Management and currently has a net worth of $3.2B.
First off, we could sit here and talk about Wrigley Jr. for quite some time, but that's not very autoevolution of us. What is up our alley, however, is one of Wrigley's toys, the one and only Unbridled, and since this puppy is once again hitting the sales market - this isn't the first time Unbridled has been pitched - I felt it would be a neat little detour from our day-to-day lives to explore a tad of how the world's billionaires live it up.

Now, Unbridled has been in the news before, mainly back in 2022 when it was once again put up for sale, but when ships of this nature find a new home, they're typically renamed. Considering that two years later, Unbridled is once again on the market and under the same name, it may still be under Wrigley's rule. So, why isn't it selling? Well, not everyone has nearly $25M to spend on a superyacht, but it's bound to find a home someday,

As for what sets Unbridled apart from other ships that grace our pages, well, just look at it for god's sake! From the sleek yet classy exterior design to the flawless interior lounges and well-appointed staterooms, every inch of this wonder screams luxury and the finest living. Heck, I can only compare it to a floating Italian Riviera villa, the kind with Roman columns or pillars spread throughout impeccable gardens that help you realize heaven is on Earth.

Well, our exploration into today's heaven starts off at the very top of this 191-foot (58 m) beast, where guests are welcomed with one of the most expansive sun decks I've encountered in quite some time. Here, up to 16 guests will be pampered by a crew of up to 13 and able to access an array of spaces and feature the likes of rear-facing sun beds, a bar to cool off, a jacuzzi to relax after a long day, and an alfresco round table. But the gym is also found up here, so imagine waking up in the morning and working out as the sun breaks over the horizon.

Moving down one deck, we arrive at the bridge deck. This area of the ships is denoted by a massive living space that includes seating along the walls, tables for private conversations, dining areas, entertainment centers, and a decor that's to die for.

Everything, from the smooth and fractured-like carpeting to the bar stools, coffee tables, walls, and even ceilings, shares the same color palette. Everything is tied off with large floor-to-ceiling windows, and warm artificial lighting only complements the natural light flooding in.

The rest of this deck is completed with the bridge, of course, found at the front. There's also a large forward-facing lounge where guests can relax in style, and at the rear, a true alfresco dining center is available, not to mention more relaxation options.

At this stage, we find ourselves on the main deck, a space that's kind of a hybrid space. What I mean to say is that the very front of this deck is occupied by a large beam-to-beam master suite with an office, ensuite bathroom, and entertainment room, but it's also home to yet another tastefully designed and inviting living space where you and your guests can plan the day's activities; a galley is also found on this deck.

But it's the very rear of Unbridled's main deck that shows off the goodies that await future owners. I'm talking about two SeaDoo Sparks, two tenders, and a rescue shuttle. The rest of the toys, like kayaks, banana boats, paddleboards, and even scuba diving gear, are found at the beach club.

The beach club is located on the final of the four available decks, but it is also the place where you'll take your first steps aboard this ship. Here, guests will be able to not only board the ship but, because of the size of the space, you can very well sit by and wait for everyone to board before continuing their exploration of Unbridled as one. Be sure to picture yourself also using this area for all the water fun you can think of.

The rest of the lower deck houses two Caterpillar engines with over 2,000 hp each, thrusting this 803-tonne (885 US ton) ship around at speeds upwards of 16 knots (18.5 mph), the crew quarters, and most importantly, the rest of the guest staterooms. I am, however, still trying to figure out where that wine cellar we see in the images may be found.

At the end of the day, there's only one way to really feel what Unbridled has to offer and what Wrigley's living standards have devised for future owners of this ship, and that's to head down to Dania Beach in Florida and see if you can get a tour. But you'd better have the $25M ready.
