Up to 14 guests can be accommodated on board the superyacht, and she also has accommodation for 23 crew members, including the ship's captain. Hampshire II has a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure.

It is widely reported that Sir Jim owns a home on the island. In May 2018, Ratcliffe was the richest person in the UK, with a net worth of £21.05 billion. As of May 2023, the Sunday Times Rich List 2023 estimated his net worth at £29.6 billion, making him the second wealthiest figure in the UK. In September 2020, Ratcliffe officially changed his tax residence from Hampshire to Monaco, a move that it is estimated will save him £4 billion in tax.

Earlier this month Sir Jim Ratcliffe stated that the UK has been "colonised by immigrants" during an interview with Sky News with Ed Conway as Interviewer. Ratcliffe also criticised the number of people receiving state benefits. His claim was criticised by some football fans, union leaders, anti-racism campaigners and politicians. Manchester United put out a statement in response to his claims and their Sikh fan group stated that his claims were offensive Government ministers including Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves labelled Ratcliffe's comments 'offensive and wrong' and 'disgusting' respectively, and asked Ratcliffe to apologise.

Ratcliffe later apologised that his "choice of language has offended some people in the UK and Europe," ^] but qualified his apology saying "it is important to raise the issue of controlled and well-managed immigration that supports economic growth."
