TV and radio mogul Chris Evans is reportedly planning to charter Eddie Jordan’s superyacht during Cannes and the Monaco Grand Prix next year.

The BBC Radio 2 DJ is set to spend £95,000 to charter 37-metre Sunseeker The Snapper for a week after his three-year-old son said he’d love to have it.


The tabloids reported that Evans was looking for boats with son Noah when they spotted a superyacht in Poole.

“It was the look of excitement on Noah’s face which was the deciding factor,” a source told British tabloid The Mirror. “Chris loves sailing. He and Noah shared some quality father-son bonding time hunting for boats.”
