The NFL great traded in his smaller Wajer 55S for the larger, more luxurious 77-footer in 2021.
You may not be able to throw a football like Tom Brady, but you can now cruise the oceans like him. A Wajer 77 formerly owned by the NFL GOAT has just been listed for sale with YachtWay.
Brady’s love of Wajer is well-documented. The seven-time Super Bowl champion took delivery of two Wajer models in the early 2020s and helped to bring the exclusive Dutch builder out of small yachting circles and into the modern zeitgeist.
The former QB first splashed out on a Wajer 55S in December 2020, after which he famously tossed the Vince Lombardi trophy from the 53-footer to another player on a second boat during a floating victory parade celebrating his Super Bowl LV win in 2021. After only five months of owning that yacht, the winningest quarterback in football history upgraded to the larger Wajer 77 in a highly publicized trade.
“The 55S is an amazing boat, and it’s been an amazing boat for our family,” Brady said at the time. “I think the 77 will be a little bit more suited for what we need it for down here, which is a few more day trips and weekend trips.”
The 77 is not only 22 feet longer than the 55S but wider, more voluminous, and more complex, meaning it is fit for offshore cruising not just bay hopping. The 77-footer, which Brady christened Viva la Vida, features a sleek, sculpted exterior by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and a high-speed planing hull by Van Oossanen Naval Architects. It is also equipped with three 900 hp Volvo Penta IPS engines that enable a cruising speed of 30 knots, a top speed of 37 knots, and a range of 400 nautical miles.
The luxurious interior is fit for football royalty, with whitewashed oak and rich leather details. Three plush cabins offer space for up to nine guests, with the expansive owner’s suite spanning some 16 feet from wall to wall. The living quarters also include a well-appointed galley, generous crew quarters, and a high-tech helm similar to a fighter jet’s.
The exterior offers plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining, with sun pads to the front, circular seating amidship, and large sofas at the back. To top it off, the tender garage is stocked with Seabobs Brady himself used.
The yacht, which now goes by the name TW12VE Angels and is located in Provincetown, Massachusetts, has an asking price of $7 million. Wajer 77s typically start at around $6 million, so you’re paying about a mil to have ties to Brady. We’re not judging.
