Britain's “richest gypsy” has revealed his remarkable £9million 90ft superyacht, including a range of James Bond-style gadgets.
Alfie Best, who was born in a caravan by the side of the road in Lutterworth but as the CEO and founder of Wyldecrest Parks now features on the Sunday Times' rich list.
The 52-year-old purchased the yacht in order to tour Mediterranean hotspots and has equipped the vessel with a range of entertainment.
Alfie, who with a £5million fleet of supercars and Aston Martin-designed helicopter is already used to the high life, has named the boat – an exclusive Sunseeker 90 Ocean – Wyldecrest.
Among the features are a watersports speedboat and jetski, both of which are found in the yacht's own submersible dock.
On board there's a luxury accommodation for eight guests with a lounge and swim platform at water level, the Daily Star reports.
But Alfie's favourite gadget is a James Bond-style water-driven jetpack which allows him to fly above the waves.
The billionaire says the yacht and crew can be chartered out for an eye-watering £80,000 a week.
He said: "I've flown my own plane and have my own helicopter and there were phenomenal experiences.
"But having a yacht is 10 times better. We really have gone the extra mile with this yacht.
"I've set it up with brand-new jet skis, brand new Seabobs [water scooters], a water jet pack, an inflatable pool and an extendable platform.
"I'll enjoy all the onboard perks, but particularly the jet pack. That's a whole new experience even for me – maybe a trip in space is next on my list."
He recently spent two weeks touring with his son Alfie Junior which allowed them to "talk about things they don't normally talk about".
The dad-of-two also has a £7.5m home in Surrey and a £4m property in London's Knightsbridge, as well as a 50% share in an £8m jet plane.
He said: "I come from a background that's a little bit superstitious. So everything is for sale. I believe we're here to maintain things, and pass them on to everybody else to enjoy in life. It should be a circle."
He added: "My mum and dad were hard working people. My dad's my idol – he's 77 years old and still works seven days a week, doing manual jobs."
The dad puts his success down to a "certain amount of luck", as well as "hard work, sheer grit, blood, blisters and tears".
Alfie operates Wyldecrest through Newcastle-based superyacht specialist West Nautical, which also manages the superyacht's charter and day-to-day running.
