It seems that MJ pursued yachting with the same ambition for which his fans loved and opponents feared him. Like Magic Johnson, Jordan was a keen charterer for years and was spotted on the 95-metre "O'Pari".
MJ takes part in big game fishing
The 61-year-old also regularly takes part in big game fishing competitions, since last year on a new "Catch 23". After a Viking 80 of the same name, he ordered his latest, 82-foot-long Sportfisherman from Bayliss Boatworks. In an older photo of the cheque presentation - the prize money is in the millions - following the obligatory cradle ceremony, Jordan can be seen with a cigar in his mouth and his typical winning smile.
He is probably relaxing on his "M'Brace". The 74-metre ship was launched in 2018 as the "Elandess" by Abeking & Rasmussen with an underwater window; at the time, "Neptune Lounges" were still a very rarely seen feature. If Michael Jordan spots a blue marlin through the nine-centimetre-thick, ten-layer glass laminate, it is unlikely to keep him down there for long. In the European summer, "M'Brace" cruises the Mediterranean, while the Harrison-Eidsgaard design spends the winter in the Caribbean.
