Tyson Fury plans to spend £6 million on purchasing Drake’s Island, near Plymouth, in Devon, to use the location as a safe docking point for his new superyacht, valued at £42 million.

Drake’s Island back on the market for £6 million

Drake’s Island is 6.5 acres and is about 500 meters from the coast, in Plymouth Sound. The site was put back on sale by the specialized real estate agency Carter Jonas, after having been offered in 2024 without finding a buyer.

Previously called St. Nicholas Island, the area was fortified from the 16th century due to its strategic position.

Plan involves superyacht and million-pound renovations

According to a source heard by The Sun on Sunday, Tyson Fury wants to buy Drake’s Island to store the superyacht Gypsy King, which is being built for his retirement.

The same source stated that the boxer sees an advantage in the location due to a nearby Navy base, which would make the area more protected.

In addition to the purchase, Fury plans to spend £20 million on renovations to the buildings, electrical systems, and other structures.

Historic area has restrictions and inspections

Part of Drake’s Island is a Protected Ancient Monument, which enhances its historical value and also makes the sale more delicate.

Guided tours to the site have been suspended while safety inspections are conducted before any negotiation.

The island was acquired in 2019 by businessman Morgan Phillips. He told PlymouthLive that he had already received expressions of interest from potential buyers in May.

Sale still depends on negotiation

Although a source says that Fury sent photos of the island to friends and is saying he intends to buy it, the sale has not yet been completed. Phillips stated that he is open to any option that makes sense and helps to move the island forward.
