As one of the few athletes with a passion for yachting, Tony Parker opted for an Explorer, which AvA Yachts completed in Antalya in 2022. The basketball player grew up on the Normandy coast and sailed in an Opti - in which he would hardly have had any size problems.
Parker wants to dive
At 1.85 metres, he is one of the shorter players. As a point guard, the Frenchman played for the San Antonio Spurs from 2001 to 2018, with whom he won four NBA championships. He was in a relationship with Texan actress Eva Longoria ("Desperate Housewives") for four years. Parker uses "Infinity Nine" as a diving centre, among other things. He charters out his Explorer from 120,000 euros per week.
