The Spirit 54 is the first sailing vessel in 350 years to be in the Grand Canal in Venice, mast up, sails on and ready to go. No one would dare attempt such an implausible task, but when Hollywood came calling for a sailing yacht to be featured in the James Bond movie Casino Royale, the assignment was hard to resist.
Thus, in the James Bond movie Casino Royale, a brand new elegant Spirit 54 would be seen sailing into the canal of Venice. Today, the Spirit 54 yacht used in the James Bond movie is available for charter in Turkey at Euro 8800 for two weeks, which is approximately USD$5700 for one week.
