Boat of the Week: Inside ‘Secret,’ the Lavish 271-Foot Superyacht Owned by Walmart Heiress Nancy Walton Laurie
Walmart heiress nancy walton laurie's 271-footer has an eclectic interior of black and gold, along with splashes of red, as well as other, well, secrets., julia zaltzman, julia zaltzman's most recent stories.

It would take the sale of approximately 5.75 million HP ink cartridges to fund the $92 million purchase of superyacht Secret , currently listed for sale with Burgess. The ink cartridges were one of Walmart’s top-selling products in 2021, and might well have contributed to a successful year of yachting for Secret ’s owner, Walmart heiress and philanthropist Nancy Walton Laurie.

As the largest yacht on display at last month’s MYBA Charter Show in Barcelona, and one of three yachts reportedly owned by Laurie, the 271-foot beauty built by Abeking & Rasmussen in 2013 provides some insight into the family’s tastes and preferences.
The main salon’s bold color scheme by interior designer Jim Harris mixes pillar-box red sofas and carpets with ornate gold wall art. It’s a brave step change from the neutral beige and gray tones often selected by owners, typically with resale value in mind.

The designers also moved the formal dining room to the upper deck, leaving a large entertaining space to watch sports and socialize. A monochrome marble bar with a glass backdrop, views to the main deck aft and an onboard mixologist all help to set the tone. When it comes onboard socializing, Secret pulls no punches.
Guests arrive via the lower deck beach club or the main deck side entrance, where luggage can be ushered into the color-coded lower deck guest cabins. There are some unusual perks to being a guest aboard Secret . Heated bathroom floors feature across all guest suites, while guest mattresses are singles that zip together into doubles for greater flexibility.
The upper-deck, full-beam master suite, named Chanel to reflect the black-and-champagne silk color scheme, is highly personalized. Separate his and her en suites have their own amenities: Hers has a full-sized bath, and his has higher countertops to accommodate former basketball player and owner Bill Laurie’s 6’ 4” height. Both have steam showers. The private office is considerably smaller than the VIP office to accommodate the owner’s request for an oversized walk-in wardrobe.
The most surprising area on board is the “Valentina” main deck VIP guest suite, named after the Valentina-inspired white spiked headboard. The master has sea views and a private terrace, but the full-beam VIP, decorated and claimed by Laurie’s adult daughter when her family is on board, is arguably the superior option. It shares the same footprint as the master but enjoys a greater attention to detail. The ensuite, decorated in black-and-white stripes, has two day heads—one with bidet—and a central wet room fitted with a shower and full-sized bathtub.
The monochrome décor is echoed throughout the yacht, from the upper-deck sky lounge to the guest hallways. In the 12-person cinema, red Porsche leather armchairs are mirrored in the leather ceiling panels. The dedicated treatment room enjoys an onboard beautician and masseuse who specializes in hot Swedish massage.
A glass elevator connects the lower deck to the bridge deck, where an indoor glass-fronted gym and outdoor pool are located. For sundown soaks, the sun deck Jacuzzi ticks the box.

Last refitted in 2018, the yacht started out life at 256 feet, with an additional 16 feet added to accommodate the owner’s choice of an aft deck dining table. It’s the preferred space to enjoy buffet-style breakfasts, protected from view by high bulwarks. Further al fresco dining for 14 people is available on the lower deck beach club, where a “dining under the stars” themed evening sees guests enjoy meals at the water’s edge beneath a blanket of twinkling LEDs and real constellations above.
For families and guests with a competitive spirit, the beach club, equipped with changing rooms and rain showers, is the center of watersports action. A serious collection of toys, including kneeboards, flyboards, trampolines and towables are matched by an inflatable assault course erected by the crew for “Sports Olympics.” The addition of a female water-sports instructor has proven popular with charter guests. When the weather’s bad, the karaoke system comes to the rescue.

It’s no secret that smaller yachts in the 190-foot size range are proving more popular on the global charter market at present, preferred for their ability to access smaller ports and anchor close to shore. But Secret pulls out all the stops for guests looking to enjoy time aboard a yacht maxed out with amenities and personality, provided in a covert setting. All in all, definitely worth the printer cartridges.

The Ultra-Lux Walmart Superyacht is the Biggest Yacht Built in U.S.
By: Scott Way
The Walton family are heirs to the Walmart empire, and as you might expect the luxury runs deep considering their multi-billion dollar generational wealth.
Case in point: Nancy Walton Laurie, niece of Walmart founder Sam Walton, put her 270-foot (82 m) superyacht Secret on the market for $98 million in early 2022. Her sister Ann Walton Kroenke, meanwhile, elected to refit their yacht Aquila , rather than sell it, and turn it into an unreal mega-machine with a $150 million pricetag.
According to Boat International , Aquila was purchased by Ann Walton and her husband Stan Kroenke (owner of the NFL's Los Angeles Rams, the NHL's Colorado Avalanche, and the Denver Nuggets of the NBA), in 2015 and immediately went into a refit. The boat is the largest yacht built in the U.S, and was first commissioned 20 years ago by Derecktor Shipyard under the name Cakewalk before being sold to the Walton family and changed to Aquila . The word aquila , if you're curious, is the Latin word for "eagle." Derecktor has facilities in Maine, New York and Florida (most superyachts are built in Europe, specifically Italy and the Netherlands).
As for the refit, it took 18 months to complete and was done by the Pendennis shipyard in Spain. The extensive overhaul helped land Aquila a 2017 World Superyacht Award for 'Best Refitted Yacht.' Interesting category.
The Waltons added numerous ultra-lux details during the refit. Some of the biggest standouts include an actual bar named 'The London Bar', a nightclub that features smoke machines, a light system, and a DJ booth, as well as a complete movie theater, and a 36-foot waterwall chandelier that cascades down all four decks of the boat.
Because why not?
Other premium amenities include two massage rooms, a complete gym, hair salon, office space, and a jacuzzi. The master suite includes its own 60 square metre (645 sq ft) private deck. Six guest cabins can host up to 12 guests, and there is somehow enough room for 28 crew as well.
She's a decent cruiser too, with twin MTU diesel engines that provide a max range of 5000 nautical miles and a top speed of 17 knots (19.5 mph).
You can even charter the Aquila , provided you're ok with a $1 million/week rate. You can make your reservation here .

Abeking & Rasmussen superyacht SECRET joins the yacht charter fleet
- Share this on Facebook

By Rebecca Bradbury 10 January 2019
The 82m/270ft motor yacht SECRET is the latest addition to the global charter market and will be offering yachting vacations in the Mediterranean this summer.
Since her launch from Abeking & Rasmussen in 2013, SECRET has lived up to her namesake. Despite wowing all with her stunning Sam Sorgiovanni-designed exterior lines, very few details on the yacht have been revealed but now discerning travellers will be able to discover what lies within.
At the time of her delivery, the yacht was the yard’s flagship offering, and with her immense volume, she is equipped with a wealth of areas and amenities designed to provide the ultimate in at-sea living.
Guaranteed to turn heads in the hotspots of the Mediterranean , she offers those on board spectacular views from the sundeck. Guests can take in the glorious surrounds while unwinding in the spa pool, basking in the sunshine on teak loungers and catching up with loved ones in luxe seating areas.
Another prime outdoor hangout is the upper deck aft, where an inviting pool awaits. Those who want to get closer to the glistening waters of the region, meanwhile, will be delighted with the vast beach club which opens up onto the swim platform, where an array of water toys can be launched from.
Entertaining takes priority on the other decks with a choice of areas designed for al fresco dining and socialising with friends and family. Catch up on the day’s activities over a delicious dinner cooked by the resident chef before enjoying a nightcap in an adjoining seating area.
With her immense volume, SECRET is equipped with a wealth of areas and amenities designed to offer the ultimate in at-sea living
Opportunities for relaxing and hosting guests on a yacht charter continue into the interior of luxury yacht SECRET. Styled by US-based designer Jim Harris, it is said by the shipyard to be breath-taking and elegant.
As well as spacious seating and dining areas, there is also a cinema for movie nights at sea and a gym for charterers keen on keeping up their fitness regimes while on vacation. After working out, a treatment in the massage room will provide a fitting reward. Plus, an elevator connects the decks.
The motor yacht can sleep up to 12 guests in seven guest cabins, including a master suite, a generous VIP suite, and five guest cabins, one of which offers accommodation for three children or staff.

82.5m Abeking & Rasmussen motor yacht Secret sold
The 82.5 metre Abeking & Rasmussen motor yacht Secret has been sold by Matt Emerson at Burgess with Andrew Bond at Fraser introducing the new owner.
Featuring an exterior by Sam Sorgiovanni , Secret was built in steel and aluminium by German yard Abeking & Rasmussen to Lloyds class and delivered in 2013. She completed her five-year class survey in 2018 and benefited from a top-to-toe repaint in 2017.
Designer Jim Harris developed a flexible interior layout accommodating up to 12 guests in seven cabins comprising a master suite, VIP suite, four doubles and a guest cabin suitable for three children or staff. All of the en suite guest cabins come with entertainment centres and Sony television screens and crew quarters sleep up to 25 staff.
The main saloon is ready to host large events with an abundance of seating carefully laid out for guests to circulate throughout. A sit-up bar facing the aft deck and a chandelier complete this space with a red, black and gold theme. A formal dining room is located in an intimate space kept separate from the saloon, or alternatively, guests can enjoy lunch served al fresco dining space on the upper deck.
