A unique development in the heart of this world-class European city... A spacious 80 metre yacht catering for the golfing enthusiast, and offering every comfort and culinary delight... Premium "four anchors" hotel services, relaxation for body and spirit combined with the cosmopolitan ambiance of the capital on the Moldau river...In short, an unbeatable designer destination with a wealth of new concepts and facilities.

The project's originator and main guiding force is Jan Vlcek. A graduate in transport studies, he founded a private shipping line, the Pragolf and Rayon companies. Also a keen golfer and boat enthusiast, this visionary conceived the idea of merging river, open green spaces and city to form an oasis of sport, relaxation and entertainment on Rohan island (Rohanský ostrov). An attractive and very popular driving range has been in operation there since 2003, while planning designs for a golf course development are already well advanced.

And since, due to the flood risk, a traditional style clubhouse is not an option here, Jan Vlcek the world traveller and shipping specialist decided instead on a property that would float. This radical idea had huge and instant appeal and is unique within the golfing world.

At the Peute docks in Hamburg, the Pragolf company successfully bid for the Bremen-built vessel which had served as club flagship of the Czech Inland Navigation line. Interest in the property's eventful journey to its new mooring is in itself good reason to visit the golfing yacht in Prague.

Another even more exacting task was to draw up plans reflecting the boat's new role and to carry out the necessary high-spec conversion work. In collaboration with Miro Pistek, the designer from northern Bohemia who currently lives and works in Bayreuth, the entire project took on new life and the name "golfYacht".

The vessel was fitted out as a giant yacht with four decks. An area of 2400m² provides 34 hotel rooms (including 9 luxury apartments). Other facilities include an exclusive restaurant seating 50, a VIP lounge, terrace, golf shop and a health centre with Thai massage.

The sports/conference suite is equipped with a bar and 3 state-of-the-art indoor golf simulators. There's also a putting green, and an enormous teak sun terrace with a sensational and unique tee-off from the biggest golfing yacht in the world...
