Sometimes you need a hand with your mental health. Whether you’re feeling stressed, tired or depressed, there should never be shame in getting help when needed. While talking face-to-face with a trained professional can work for many people, not everyone will feel comfortable opening up to someone.

This is where mental health apps can come in handy. It should be known that mental health apps won’t replace traditional methods of help such as psychology and therapy (at least at this point), but they can offer a great starting point from which you can improve your mental health, and point you in the right direction when you need it.

These are some of the best mental health apps currently available.

Moodfit

• Free tier available
• Extra features are available with a subscription, $16.49/month or $65.99/year

Moodfit is an app that helps you track your mood and gives you tools to address and overcome negative emotions and improve your mental state.

When you first open the app, you’ll be presented with a questionnaire, which uses your answers to help determine the severity of your symptoms and will then provide articles and audio pieces which help you understand what you’re experiencing.

Moodfit’s emotion tracking feature allows you to better understand what affects your mood and how it affects it, with common factors relating to sleep, diet or exercise. Moodfit then helps you start forming healthy routines in your life, which in turn can boost your mental health.

While the app is free, subscriptions for the premium service run at $16.49/month or $65.99/yearly.

Sanvello

• Free tier available
• Premium features need a subscription, $5.99/month or $55.99/year

Sanvello is another great mental health app to add to your toolkit. Sanvello offers therapy, coaching and self-help tools and claims to help treat mild to moderate anxiety and depression through cognitive behavioural therapy.

Similar to Moodfit, the Sanvello mental health app lets you track your daily mood, along with other daily happenings such as sleep, exercise and caffeine intake.

One of the best features of Sanvello is the community, which is a safe space where you can connect and anonymously talk with other users to share advice, ask questions, etc.

The basic app is free, but you have to pay for the premium version, which will set you back $5.99/month or $55.99/year.

Headspace

• Limited free features available
• A subscription costs $19.99/month or $149.99/year

One of the most well-known apps that can help with your mental health is Headspace. Headspace is a little different from the first two apps mentioned on this list, as it is based on meditation. Meditation has been found to help with anxiety reduction and stress relief, and improve concentration and sleep, just to name a few of the benefits.

The meditation sessions within the Headspace app last anywhere from 3 to 20 minutes, and you have a choice of guided meditations or calming and relaxing music you can self-meditate to.

Headspace helps you learn mindfulness and meditation skills, and you’ll find that even using the app for just a few minutes per day, you’ll start to see the benefits of meditation and why so many people encourage it. Headspace claims that ten days of use can increase happiness by up to 16%.

The app is another subscription-based one and is a little more expensive, costing $19.99/monthly or $149.99/yearly.

Calm

• 2017 iPhone App of the Year
• $23.49/month or $79.99/year

Named by Apple as the 2017 iPhone App of the Year, Calm is widely regarded as one of the best mental health apps available. Similar to Headspace, it provides people struggling with stress and anxiety with guided meditations and relaxing music but also has sleep stories and breathing programs.

While mediation isn’t going to be an out-and-out cure for all your mental health struggles, it can help with a more relaxed and reasonable mindset, can relieve stress and tension and improve sleep quality.

Calm offers a wide selection of story recordings (sometimes with celebrity narrators) in different categories, such as nature, travel and non-fiction. With meditation sessions ranging from 3 minutes to over an hour, Calm is suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.

Calm will set you back $23.49/monthly or $79.99/yearly.

Groov (by Mentemia)

• Completely free

Groov is a mental health app that aims to coach mental well-being and teach users how to control their anxiety. The app uses medically proven techniques and makes them interactive with engaging tasks for users.

The Groov app can help users recognise the sources of their stress and anxiety and offer techniques and methods to alleviate these problems. It also allows you to track your daily moods like Moodfit and Sanvello.

As if it couldn’t get better, Groov is free and accessible to all Australians, which is impressive considering how good it is.

Check-in

• Completely free

The Check-in app has been designed by the Australian mental health organisation, Beyond Blue, in collaboration with Two Bulls.

It offers a slightly different take on what should constitute a mental health app, as it is aimed at those trying to help others with their mental health. The Check-in is basically an app for people who want to check in with a friend but aren’t sure how to do it or is worried they might make it worse.

It’s a very easy app to use, as it takes you through a four-step process to help ready yourself to have a potentially life-saving conversation with a loved one. The Check-in also gives you advice about how you can help others once you’ve had the chat, and how to look after your own mental well-being.

As a bonus, the app also provides links to a range of online and phone services for young people in Australia.

Talkspace

• Therapy plan pricing is dependent on where you live and the availability of therapists in your area
• No lock-in contract

For those who need someone to talk to, Talkspace is an app that helps you match with a licensed therapist who you can then message, call or video call at your own convenience.

Although it’s based in the US, Talkspace’s therapists are available to anyone with an internet connection. Talkspace guarantees their therapists will get back to you at least once a day, five days a week.

Soul Alive

• Subscription-based service
• 1 week free for new users

Another great app for those looking for meditation services is Soul Alive. Founded by Australian meditation and wellness expert, Luke McLeod, Soul Alive aims to bridge the gap between teacher and user, by offering live guided meditation sessions hosted by Luke and his team of trained professionals. Luke is also on hand to support anyone struggling with the meditation process, as he wants to encourage as many people as possible to practice meditation, due to its numerous benefits.

MMA icon Conor McGregor has broken some fans’ hearts this morning (while delighting some others). He posted an image of himself to Instagram lighting a roll-up of unknown entrails. Some believe it adds to his ‘don’t give a toss’ persona; others fear it shows he isn’t taking fighting seriously anymore.

Conor McGregor has always been known as a deadly striker. He made a name for himself – becoming the Face Of The Fight Game – when his career peaked, arguably when he knocked out Jose Aldo in 13 seconds flat in 2015. He has been a holder of more than one weight class title simultaneously and proved himself a marketing genius, banking 130 million for his fight with Floyd Mayweather.

But in recent years his form has slipped. After losing to Khabib in 2018 it’s been mostly downhill. The most painful loss, perhaps, was his most recent one – his second straight loss to Dustin Poirier – which happened in July 2021. This fight finished when Conor broke his leg. Though The Notorious is undoubtedly angling for a rematch, Poirier appears to have proved the point he wanted, and probably isn’t interested in going another round any time soon.

In the meantime, McGregor fans have been hoping the 34-year-old Irishman can train himself back into winning form, with Bleacher Report last month reporting that Dana White wants Conor McGregor to return to the UFC by the end of 2022 or the start of 2023 (who he fight will depend on the landscape at that time). However, McGregor, despite posting some furious footage of his sparring sessions and workouts, has also been criticised by fans for appearing to not be the perfect consummate professional in his downtime.

Case in point: McGregor, who is known for running out of gas during fights, appeared to be undermining his cardio training this morning, by posting a video of him lighting up what looks like a joint while on a yacht. The video inspired comments like ‘the thumbs down emoji’ and “stop smoking man haha.”

Another Instagram user wrote: “This guy will never be serious again. Makes me sad. Imagine if he was still as hungry.”

Others were less bothered, calling him a King, saying “gotta love him” and opining: “No need to fight ever again champ.” On Twitter, McGregor posted the same image, but with the caption: “Popjaw with the popeye arms.”

What I do is I line up jaws and pop them.

— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) July 31, 2022

As for if and when ‘Mystic Mac’ will return, we’ll just have to wait and see. But if Conor takes his training as seriously as he takes his downtime, his next opponent better be well prepared…

RELATED: What Working Out After Smoking Weed Does To Your Body, According To Experts

In terms of his form, Conor’s coach told BBC Sport in an article published in July: “He’s healthy, happy, and it’s great to have him back… The last few sessions in the gym here were MMA-orientated – he’s got the all-clear for that now.”

“He did a great session [earlier this past week], we got some great rounds in. He hasn’t lost a beat and was looking great.”

Regarding the impact smoking weed has on your fitness (we’re not saying that’s what McGregor is doing, as there’s no way to confirm what was really in the roll-up), just for the sake of general interest, DMARGE previously spoke to David McIntosh, founder of the Synergy Performance Institute, to find out.

He told us that – though some people, like Joe Rogan, have spoken about enjoying it and provided anecdotal evidence about how it makes them feel more connected to their body and more able to perhaps detect underlying injuries or things that need to be worked on – there is far more evidence to suggest you shouldn’t smoke before training if your overall goal is performance.

“When discussing cannabis, the two main active ingredients are the focus of the conversation – THC and CBD,” David told DMARGE.

“In 2017, a systematic review was published in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport. The findings were not favourable for things like strength training or aerobic performance.”

“A concerning finding was a tendency to develop chest pain due to poor blood flow to the heart (angina). In 2018, the Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine discussed the use of cannabis by elite athletes and again, found no convincing evidence for increased physical performance.”

“In 2020, an article discussed the potential benefits of the CBD component alone, and highlighted there was no good evidence at the time of the article for promoting CBD, but there were potential benefits such as being anti-inflammatory and calming.”

“Also in 2020, another review of the use of cannabis by athletes found no convincing evidence for enhanced physical performance.”

“An article in The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness found a significant deleterious effect upon athletic performance, based on more contemporary research. This included less work capacity, increased cardiac workload (leading to relative oxygen depletion in the heart), and poor balance.”

“So, with science rather than social media as our guide, it would seem sensible for those with desires for maximal athletic performance to [re]consider whether cannabis is a good choice or best avoided.”

Of course, this is probably all a storm in a teacup, and McGregor probably isn’t sitting on the couch getting high and eating Doritos every night. It’s more likely he’s simply enjoying creating a media maelstrom, and perhaps didn’t even inhale.

Jack Doohan is the latest in a string of motor racing talent to come out of Australia, following in the footsteps of Daniel Ricciardo and Oscar Piastri. Like his fellow Australian race drivers, Jack Doohan is showing great promise to enter Formula 1, and is currently a member of the Alpine Academy (which Piastri has also been a member of) and formerly a member of the Red Bull Junior Team (which Daniel Ricciardo was also signed to).

With motorsports running through his veins thanks to his father, it’s no surprise Jack Doohan is being marked as another future Australian racing superstar.

So, who is Jack Doohan, what’s his net worth and when will we see him lining up on the Formula 1 grid? Read on to find out.

Jack Doohan Quick Facts

Name: Jack Doohan
Age: 19
DoB: 20 January 2003
Nationality: Australian
Height: 6 ft 0 in/183cm
Weight: 70kg
Net Worth: $1.5 million (estimated)
Instagram: @jackdoohan – 54.1k followers

Who Is Jack Doohan?

Jack Doohan is an Australian racing driver born on 20th January 2003 on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. He is the son of Mick Doohan, himself a former five-time 500cc World Champion in motorcycle racing. Mick has also sat in a Formula 1 car, having tested the Williams FW19 at the Circuit de Catalunya in Spain in April 1998 – however, during the test he crashed into a guard rail. He didn’t pursue Formula 1 any further.

Jack Doohan Racing Career

Karting Career

Jack Doohan, like the majority of racing drivers, started his racing career in go-karts. His first season, the SKUSA Super Nationals, was in 2012 when he was 9. He continued in go-karts until 2017, and during his 5-year stint, he recorded two Championship wins in the Australian Kart Championship for both the KA Junior and KA2 series.

Doohan has revealed that seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher was instrumental in getting him started in racing cars, with the German driver gifting a young Doohan a go-kart, sparking his interest in four wheels.

F4 British Championship

After karting, Jack Doohan moved up to the (now defunct) F4 British Championship single-seater racing series at the age of 15. Doohan raced for the TRS Arden Junior Racing Team, which is owned and managed by Red Bull F1 Team Principal Christian Horner and his father, Garry Horner. Doohan finished his first season in fourth place in the Driver’s Championship.

F3 Asian Championship

After his first year in F4 racing (Jack also competed in the German and Italian F4 Championships in 2018), Doohan progressed to the F3 Asian Championship, this time racing for the British team, Hitech Grand Prix. Jack completed two seasons in the F3 Asian Championship, finishing in second place on both occasions.

FIA Formula 3 Championship

Jack Doohan was promoted once again to the FIA Formula 3 Championship for the 2020 season, although he failed to score any points. However, in his second season in 2021, racing for Italian outfit Trident Racing, alongside Ralf Schumacher’s son, David Schumacher (nephew of Michael Schumacher), Jack Doohan recorded his first points and his first victory.

FIA Formula 2 Championship

Jack Doohan competed in the final two races of the 2021 Formula 2 championship, recording a fifth-place finish in Jeddah.

In 2022, Jack competed in his first full season of Formula 2, racing for the British racing team, Virtuosi Racing. Currently, Jack Doohan has achieved two pole positions (in Bahrain and Barcelona) and two wins during the Sprint Race, at Silverstone in England and the Hungaroring in Hungary.

Jack Doohan Formula 1

Jack Doohan was signed to the Red Bull Junior Team in 2017 (most likely due to him impressing Christian Horner, which also would have influenced his signing to the TRS Arden Junior Racing Team). However, Doohan left the team at the end of the 2021 season and has signed with the Alpine Academy for 2022.

Jack Doohan Girlfriend

Jack Doohan is currently dating Ebony Zippora Gold. According to her Instagram page, she spends her time between Monaco and Australia. It’s not clear how long the couple have been dating, but the earliest image of Ebony appearing on Jack Doohan’s Instagram page was posted in January 2022.

Jack Doohan Net Worth

Jack Doohan’s net worth is currently an estimated $1.5 million, which he would have gained through salary payments and prize money winnings. If he makes it into Formula 1 one day, you can expect this figure to increase significantly.

Sebastian Vettel shocked the world last week when he announced his retirement from Formula 1 after 16 long, fruitful years of racing. It’s a huge loss for the sport – but it’s also a huge opportunity.

The 35-year-old German, who won four World Drivers’ Championship titles, holds countless F1 records and is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time, announced his retirement on social media – itself a surprising move, as Vettel was famous for his dislike of social media and indeed has never used social media before this announcement.

Seb’s announcement, which you can watch below, is highly poignant and alludes to how his climate and LGBT activism is increasingly at odds with his career in motorsports, as well as how he wants to spend more time with his family.

“Next to racing, I have grown a family and I love being around them. I have grown other interests outside Formula 1. My passion for racing and Formula 1 comes with lots of time spent away from them, and takes a lot of energy. Committing to my passion the way I did and the way I think is right, no longer goes side-by-side with my wish to be a great father and husband,” Vettel explains.

WATCH Sebastian Vettel’s retirement announcement below.

While we’ll all probably miss Vettel – who evolved from being a true enfant terrible in his early days (Multi-21, Seb!) to becoming a well-loved elder statesman of the sport in recent years – a spot opening up on the F1 grid is ultimately a rather good thing.

At the same time that F1 drivers are starting in the sport at increasingly younger ages (indeed, Vettel himself started in F1 when he was only 19), other drivers are sticking around in the sport for longer and longer.

For example, Lewis Hamilton has been racing in F1 for 15 years non-stop. Fernando Alonso, who is now in his 40s, has been racing for over 20, albeit while taking multiple spells away from the sport. Same deal for Kimi Räikkönen, who retired from F1 last year.

No one is saying we should be pushing these legends out of the sport, especially when they’ve still got plenty of speed still in them… But we’re currently at a crisis point where so many talented young drivers are being kept out of F1 when they really deserve to be there.

Oscar Piastri, who was the F2 World Champion last year yet found himself without an F1 seat in 2022, is the most obvious example. Frankly, it’s a travesty that Piastri isn’t in F1.

A post shared by Oscar Piastri (@oscarpiastri)

Other talented drivers waiting in the wings who also deserve a go in F1 include Nyck de Vries (F2 champion in 2019), Jamie Chadwick (3-time Formula W champion) and Colton Herta (youngest-ever IndyCar race winner).

It’s not clear who will take Vettel’s spot at Aston Martin alongside Lance Stroll (who thanks to his dad’s ownership of the team, has a very safe seat – but that’s a whole other issue…)

The odds-on favourite to take Seb’s seat is Mick Schumacher, who is not only a prodigious talent that’s arguably been wasted at back-marker team Haas for two years but also has a strong personal relationship with Vettel. Vettel, who long idolised Mick’s father Michael, has actively mentored the young German.

Other drivers that have been tipped to take Vettel’s seat include Pierre Gasly, who has been cooling his heels at Red Bull’s junior team AlphaTauri after being unceremoniously booted from the top team after half a season in 2019, and Daniel Ricciardo, who has suffered two lacklustre years at McLaren and has been the subject of intense media speculation around his future in F1.

RELATED: McLaren Is Setting Daniel Ricciardo Up For Failure

Still, rather than circling like vultures speculating about who’s going to take Vettel’s seat at the end of this season, let’s take some time to reflect on Vettel’s extraordinary career as well as his sterling reputation.

“Everyone in the paddock loves him, you know? You will not hear someone speaking bad about Seb,” Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz has said.

Legendary F1 journalist David Tremayne sums it up adroitly. “As a racer, he’ll be missed. As an intelligent, perceptive and articulate observer, he still has much to offer.”

A business class passenger on an Avianca flight has been left with a sour taste in his mouth. He recently took to the Internet to share his experience of an unclean toilet, packaged dessert and breakfast “served in an economy class container.”

Leviticus may not have said “no one has wrath like a business class passenger scorned” but he really should have. Why? A pointy end passenger recently took to the Internet with yet another bashing of a London-Bogota Avianca 787 flight, where the experience failed to live up to its billing as a premium service.

The “comically bad” experience was skewered by avid traveller Matthew Klint, who writes for the aviation website Live & Let’s Fly. Klint recently flew on Avianca, a Colombian airline which has been the flag carrier of Colombia since December 5, 1919, when it was initially registered under the name SCADTA.

Though Avianca isn’t renowned as one of the world’s leading luxury airlines (for the airlines which have the best business class offerings in the world right now, head on over here), when booking an international business class ticket, you still expect the basics – certain industry standards – to be upheld.

Unfortunately for Klint, this, particularly when it comes to food, did not prove to be the case. He went as far as to call it “deplorable.” Speaking about his in-flight meal, Klint complained that they gave him a lukewarm crew meal “with a packaged sandwich and packaged dessert.”

“Hot on the sides, cold in the middle.”

Matthew Klint

He added: “Breakfast was served before landing – again, in an economy class container. At least this time the omelet was warm. Sadly, the coffee was just brown water without much flavor and the bread was cold and hard.” He then pointed out it was a relief to get onto his connection at Houston and “actually receive a properly plated meal.”

On top of that, Klint was not impressed by the state of the bathroom (which he says is not the fault of the crew, but nevertheless an indictment on them), which did not appear to have been kept clean all throughout the flight.

Klint then said the reason the airline provided for the altered service (Avianca left a note on his seat that said, basically, sorry for the altered service, we’ve had 12 months off and are now still getting our sh*t together) was not good enough, writing: “blaming your poor catering on the long hiatus in London service is simply absurd.”

“Avianca had weeks to prepare for its return and could have easily worked with its caterer to provision proper business class meals, including salads and appetizers. Instead, we received a lukewarm crew meal.”

Matthew Klint

This isn’t the first time there has been a mismatch between airlines’ adaptions to the pandemic (and other disruptive factors) and passengers’ expectations – particularly when it comes to business class. One Singapore Airlines passenger got into a right stoush on Facebook after champagne was removed from Singapore Airlines’ menu in 2020, for instance. And who could forget Virgin Australia’s Noodlegate incident and Qantas’ paper plate gate scandal…

RELATED: Business Class ‘Slammertime’ Ritual Sparks Outrage At 40,000ft

Just another day in this post-pandemic world. And yet another thing to think about (beyond baggage handlers destroying your luggage, airlines losing your luggage and massive flight delays) before your next flight.

It’s also worth noting that in previous reviews of Avianca business class (back when they were using plates), the food has got a mixed reception. In 2018 a Forbes writer called the meal presentation lacklustre (“rather than coursing it out, the flight attendants put both the starters and the cheese plate on the same tray, then came through later with the main course”) while The Blonde Abroad once wrote “Avianca’s food and drink menus for their business class passengers are exceptional.”

Maybe the next time you get the chance you ought to book a ticket and try it for yourself.

Work pants can mean different things to different people. For some, they might be a comfortable pair of pants to wear to work in an office. For others, they’re going to need to be hard-wearing, tough and durable for harsh work conditions outside.

Regardless of location, work pants need to be comfortable and, in our opinion, stylish.

If you are indeed looking for pants that are office-appropriate and tick all of your other boxes, be sure to check out our complete guide to some of the best pants for men. If you’re looking for something a little tougher, then stick around.

The ideal fit of work pants for men

Work pants that are worn in tough conditions need to be comfortable first and foremost. You don’t want something with a skinny leg that’s going to cut off blood circulation when you’re already outside in the heat, for example.

Instead, you should be looking for a pair of pants with a straight leg, or at the very least, a slim leg, depending on your build. You also need to factor in materials. Your everyday cotton probably won’t stand much of a chance if you’re spending a lot of your time outside or bending down onto your knees. You’ll likely find that a lot of pairs of men’s work pants will have reinforced sections of material at the knees to combat this very problem.

Daniel Craig was seen wearing a few ensembles over the weekend that his former character, James Bond, would never wear…

Ever since Daniel Craig’s James Bond (spoiler!) died in No Time To Die, there have been non-stop conversations surrounding who will be the next actor to play the famous British spy and whether or not a woman should play James Bond.

All eyes have also been on Craig to see what the actor will get up to next. Of course, the Bond star just finished playing Macbeth on Broadway and is set to reprise his role as Detective Benoit Blanc later this year in the Knives Out sequel, A Glass Onion.

In the meantime, Craig’s been doing a few smaller gigs to fill the time – and filling his wardrobe with some rather eclectic new clothes, it seems.

Craig was spotted in Paris over the weekend sporting a new look; one that we’ve never seen Bond in. Shooting an advertisement for Belvedere Vodka, Craig was seen wearing a low-cut black t-shirt paired with a leather biker jacket and a thick silver chain.

Clearly, Craig has stayed in excellent shape since departing the Bond franchise, as he looked hunky while wearing an outfit that rivals the one regularly worn by Leatherman from The Village People.

Craig was also seen in a crisp white suit and baby pink shirt as filming for the Belvedere ad continued into the evening.

While the James Bond character wouldn’t be caught dead wearing either of these ensembles, we think Craig pulls them off and look forward to the actor further experimenting with his fashion; perhaps Craig will soon follow the likes of Brad Pitt and Post Malone and will rock a skirt in the near future…

Designer superyacht Axioma is going to be the first seized Russian vessel to go to auction. It has a slightly unusual past though. Here’s how it used to look before it got put under lock and key (as well as a video showing the little-known side of superyachting you’ve probably never thought about).

News broke on Wednesday that Axioma, a gorgeous $75 million superyacht, will be the first seized Russian schooner to go to auction – in a single day, and without reserve.

Axioma was delivered in 2013 and owned by billionaire Dmitry Pumpyansky, who made his fortune in the gas and steel industries. According to Boat International, Axioma will be flogged off on August the 23rd, 2022. Axioma was seized by authorities in Gibraltar in March on the basis of an outstanding 12.5 million loan due to J.P. Morgan, which the yacht’s international management company had not paid. Around this time, authorities realised Pumpyansky was included on sanctions lists – and discovered he was the beneficiary (read: owner) of the vessel. 

Last month, a Gibraltar court ruled that Axioma should be sold at auction on an “as is, where is” basis, to give J.P. Morgan its money back. The fact that it’s a no reserve auction has sparked rumours it will sell for much less than it’s worth (its estimated value is $75 million).

Axioma is one of the rare Russian-owned superyachts that people could charter when its owner wasn’t using it. It was very popular and reading its list of features, it’s easy to see why. The 236-foot (72-meter) yacht easily takes 12 guests (and a crew of 20), has a jacuzzi on the sun deck, a pool, a steam room, a sauna, an owner suite with its own private deck, a smorgasbord of water toys, various lounge areas and a 3D private cinema.

As Autoevolution reports, it was built by Dunya Shipyard, delivered under the name Red Square, and was most recently refitted in 2020, “when it also received the striking turquoise-blue paint job on the hull.” Speaking of that striking blue paint job, videos on Youtube, by Jared Watney – a former employee on a superyacht and a luxury content creator – show what Axioma used to look like before it got put under lock and key in Gibraltar.

According to its page on Yacht Charter Fleet, Axioma was used for cruising around the Caribbean in winter (October to April) and the Mediterranean in summer (May to September). Cruising the Med would cost between 450,000 euros (AUD $655,000) and 635,000 euros (AUD $925,000) a week (plus expenses) and cruising the Caribbean would cost between 295,000 euros (AUD $430,000) and 595,000 euros (AUD $867,000) a week (plus expenses).

Watney’s videos, posted in January 2022, before Axioma got seized, show what the superyacht looked like inside, and how it would prepare for guests (including one area of the boat where everything could be moved to create a dance floor). He has also shown off the side of yachting you don’t often see, showing what happens on a superyacht when it’s in between guests, explaining why crew can actually be busier at that time than at any other.

Have a gander at the above video if you’re interested. And if you’ve got $75 million USD burning a hole in your pocket, why not take a trip to Europe on August the 23rd and take a punt at buying Axioma yourself…
