KEVIN Spacey has chosen to stay in a six-star luxury superyacht featuring the ultimate in maritime luxury, instead of one of the city's best hotels for his Sydney visit.
One of Hollywood's most respected actors, he flew into town on Sunday night to play his acclaimed role as Shakespeare’s Richard III at The Star casino for 12 shows from Thursday.
Instead of heading for one of the usual-celebrity-suspect digs, Spacey has chosen to float on the Harbour - and be mobile around it - instead of being confined to a hotel for his two-week stay.
Spacey took over the custom-designed 37m superyacht Tango moored in Middle Harbour on Sunday before he motored from the mooring yesterday after hosting a few guests on Sunday night.
"Tango was moored near the Spit Bridge and he looked really relaxed and enjoying himself when he got on board on Sunday afternoon," a source told us of Spacey.
And why not? The yacht has just had an overhaul and everything is new, although its testy charter company operator was in no mood to expand further yesterday. The Tango charter vessel - worth more than $5 million - is capable of navigating the world's oceans, sleeps 10, can accommodate 49 party guests and features more opulent space than some of the city's better apartments.
It includes ensuite bathrooms, a jacuzzi, a giant aft deck, saloon, dining room, watersports and fishing equipment plus a 7m tender to transport people to and from it.
Just where Spacey plans to anchor each night was unknown - the charter company refused to comment on who had hired Tango yesterday or where it was.
