Marine journalist analyzes yacht Perry and Trudeau were spotted aboard

Marine journalist Kevin Koenig, known online as “The Yacht Fella,” took to social media this week to analyze the ship on which Katy Perry was seen cozying up with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Caravelle, a 24-meter (78-foot) yacht built in 1965 by Dutch shipbuilder Feadship, was a “pretty great choice” by the pop star, Koenig told FOX Business.

“So, not only was this boat built by Feadship, it was designed by a guy named Carlo Riva,” Koenig said. “And Carlo Riva is a legendary boat designer.”

Koenig compared owning a Caravelle to “owning an old Porsche 911 also designed by Enzo Ferrari.”

While many modern yachts have ballooned in size — such as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ 417-foot sailing yacht — Koenig said Perry’s boat stands out for its more modest dimensions.

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau were snapped embracing each other while on a yacht. Romance rumors swirled around the former Prime Minister of Canada and the international pop star in late July when the pair were spotted together on a date in Montreal. The couple had recently separated from their partners. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom ended their nine-year relationship in June 2015, and Justin Trudeau split from his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, in 2023. Both Katy and Justin were snapped in full PDA while on top of a yacht in the Santa Barbara Channel, California, last week. Pictures show the rumored pair kissing in public as the former Prime Minister holds her bum - while people below look in the opposite direction. An onlooker, who was on a charter boat at the time, said the couple pulled their boat alongside theirs before climbing to the upper deck.

“I would compare these huge 300-foot watches that you see out there today to being like a big, big gold Rolex, and the Katie Boat is like a very thin Patek Philippe watch with a leather strap that slides right under the cuff of a shirt,” he said.

In an Instagram post earlier this week, Koenig said he was inundated with messages asking about Perry’s boat, admitting he didn’t expect the singer to have such “great taste.”

“This is as authentic and delicious as a motor yacht can get,” he said. “I know. I was surprised too.”
