In this age of technology and ever-present cameras, it seems impossible to fly under the radar – even more so when you’re one half of one of the industry’s most powerful couples. But money can buy anything, including privacy, in a world that has long forgotten the meaning of the word.

Eos is one of the world’s largest and most famous sailing yachts and a record-breaker until the 2017 arrival of Oceanco’s Black Pearl, a stunning sailing masterpiece that is believed to have inspired the construction of the future record-breaker, Jeff Bezos’ Y721. Whenever Eos makes an appearance in public, much like a superstar, it draws attention and makes headlines, yet, for all this, it remains an enigma.

Here is an attempt to lift the veil as much as possible on this enigma, a $200 million vessel that is said to be the epitome of luxury, elegance and, not in the least important, outstanding design. After all, you don’t become an icon (enigma or not) by conforming to standards.

Eos is named after the Greek goddess of dawn, the daughter of titans Hyperion and Theia, and sister of the sun god and the moon goddess. Eos is a sailing yacht, a three-mast Bermuda-rigged schooner that relies on a couple of MTU 4000-series engines for outstanding performance, regardless of the wind conditions. At full throttle, Eos can hit top speeds of 16 knots (18 mph / 29.5 kph).

Built by luxury shipyard Lurssen on a Lurssen naval architecture, an exterior design by Bill Langan, and interiors by Francois Catroux, Eos was delivered in 2006, after a three-year construction phase. Since delivery, it has had one single owner and he’s been keeping it a secret on purpose, as it serves as the family yacht.

That owner is billionaire media mogul Barry Diller, known as “Diller killer” in the industry because of his exceptional negotiation skills. He is married to fashion designer (and icon in her own right) Diane von Furstenberg, who is often erroneously referred to as the owner. Together, the two have an estimated net worth of $5.2 billion as of 2022, which means that, yes, they can definitely afford a $200 million vessel, as well as keep it a secret from the public by not chartering it.

At 93 meters (305 feet) in total length, Eos is among the top 5% yachts in the world by LOA. The fact that it’s a sailing vessel would have been enough to draw all eyes to it at port, but the three 61-meter (200-foot) masts make it an unforgettable sight, as does the deep dark blue hull. Eos has a teak deck, an aluminum hull, and aluminum superstructure. Much of the superstructure was repaired after an extensive fire in 2012, when the ship was at harbor while Diller and von Furstenberg were visiting ashore.

A later refit program, throughout 2018 and 2019, was even more extensive: the Rodal rigs were removed, repaired and repainted, the hull and superstructure were repainted, the tank arrangement was reorganized and the engines were overhauled. Onboard systems like the treatment unit and the watermaker were also serviced then, and navigation systems were brought up to speed with state-of-the-art equipment.

With an interior volume of 1,500 GT, Eos offers accommodation for 14 guests across seven suites and a crew of 21 – a necessarily high number because sailing it is no single-man job. Eos was never offered for charter, though legend has it that it has hosted some of the biggest stars in the world, including Jeff Bezos on his final week as Amazon CEO in 2021, singer and actor Harry Styles, and television host and reality star producer Andy Cohen.

Because it’s always been used privately, details on the interior are as scarce as photos of the same, but again, legend has it that features a viewing lounge with panoramic views, a jacuzzi, a 4.2-meter (14-foot) mural of the world map, and a most glamorous staircase made of glass. A 2.7-meter (9-foot) tall sculpture by Anh Duong, showing Diane von Furstenberg, graces Eos as figurehead. von Furstenberg usually posts to social while onboard Eos during summer-long journeys, but she always makes sure her photos don’t show much of the interior.

In 2009, when Eos pulled into an Australian port for some maintenance work, captain Lucas Alexander told the local media that sailing Eos felt like living in a high-end villa at sea. He also said that the vessel never traveled by a preset itinerary, which, if true, probably helps with keeping it a mystery.

Jeff bezos spends final days as amazon ceo sailing on barry diller’s yacht.

Jeff Bezos wound down his time as Amazon CEO aboard Barry Diller's yacht.

He’s sailing into the sunset.

Jeff Bezos wrapped up his final weekend as Amazon CEO on fellow mogul Barry Diller’s yacht in Greece, sources told Page Six.

Spies in Greece told us that Bezos, 57, was staying aboard Diller’s $200 million sailing yacht, Eos, along with Diller’s wife, designer Diane von Furstenberg.

Another source told us that Bezos’ girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez, was also traveling with him, as were his brother and sister, Mark and Christina. (Mark is also scheduled to travel this month with Jeff into space on the billionaire’s Blue Origin New Shepard spacecraft.)

Greek reports said Diller and his guests, including Bezos, stopped on Sunday on the island of Antiparos to dine with Hollywood stars Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, as well as CNN’s Anderson Cooper and the prime minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and his wife.

The group from Diller’s yacht was also seen on Saturday dining in Sifnos, local reports said. Diller’s boat is known as the world’s largest private sailing vessel at 305 feet.

On Monday, Bezos stepped down as Amazon CEO. On Wednesday, his net worth reportedly surged to $211 billion , making him the richest person ever.

Diane von Furstenberg and Barry Diller at the 2019 Sun Valley Conference.

A source in Greece told Page Six that Diller and Bezos were leaving the country on Monday to head to the Sun Valley conference. Allen & Co.’s annual “summer camp for billionaires” is returning this week after a COVID-induced hiatus in 2020.

The Post reported that Diller is expected at the conference and that Bezos has also RSVP’d “yes” and is expected to bring new Amazon CEO Andy Jassy , who officially took the helm of the company this week.

Amazon announced earlier this year that Bezos would step down as CEO to assume the role of executive chairman of the e-commerce giant’s board. Reports have said that he’ll dedicate more time toward initiatives such as the Bezos Earth Fund, his Blue Origin spaceship company, The Washington Post, and the Amazon Day 1 Fund.

Which Media Mogul’s Yacht Has Had More Famous People On It?

Every summer for the A-list is yacht season. Naomi Campbell recently shut down pregnancy rumors by posing strategically on a yacht, and even the Real Housewives can’t resist a nautical moment. But this summer, it looks like we’ve officially got a case of dueling yachts to unpack, and it’s all thanks to the 70 million dollar vessel owned by media mogul Barry Diller and the 590 million dollar boat owned by studio executive David Geffen . If you look closely, each yacht has been the site of some of the most A-list celebrity meet-ups you could imagine. It would be so difficult to decide on which yacht one might prefer to spend a lazy summer day— Karlie Kloss is a frequent guest of David Geffen’s, but she most recently took a photo on Barry Diller’s yacht with Harry Styles and Diane von Furstenberg. Diane Sawyer, Paul McCartney, and Bruce Springsteen are just a few of the talent to grace the 454-foot deck of Geffen’s “Rising Sun” (which also reportedly has a basketball court, by the way), while von Furstenberg and Diller’s “Eos” has played host to Bradley Cooper , Gayle King, and Oprah Winfrey. With rosters as dazzling as those, whose yacht would you rather party on?

David Geffen poses with Gayle King, Julia Roberts, Maria Shriver, and Oprah Winfrey on his multimillion dollar yacht.

Steven Spielberg celebrated his 70th birthday at sea with David Geffen, JJ Abrams, and Martin Short.

Leonardo DiCaprio poses solo on David Geffen’s yacht.

Jen Meyer and David Geffen hug it out onboard the Rising Sun.

Karlie Kloss, Josh Kushner, and Sir Paul McCartney were just a few of the big names all on board the Rising Sun at one time.

Andy Cohen joined Diane von Furstenberg on her yacht (which she co-owns with Barry Diller).

Breaking news, how bezos stacks up against other tech titans in super-yacht size race.

After all the fuss over his suggestively shaped space rocket, it seems Jeff Bezos is still obsessed with the idea that size really matters.

The world’s third-richest man (behind Elon Musk and LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault) is building a megayacht in Holland on a scale so excessive that it looks like the boat from “Gulliver’s Travels” washing up on the island of Liliput.

To get out of the Rotterdam harbor where it is being built, a bridge will have to be dismantled.

The $500 million Y721 will be, at 417 feet long, the biggest sailing yacht in the world when it launches this summer. In a pissing match with other tech billionaires — Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison and media mogul and new People magazine owner Barry Diller — Bezos, 58, wins.

In fact, even his yacht’s secondary support boat is bigger than Brin’s elegantly futuristic $80 million yacht, the Dragonfly.

Jeff Bezos' new yacht will have a lot of goodies to please girlfriend Lauren Sanchez — including a helicopter landing pad for the pilot.

The Y721’s main vessel boasts three decks — one with a swimming pool — and, with three gigantic masts, it can claim eco-credentials by being powered largely via a cutting-edge propulsion system that harnesses kinetic energy under sail.

Still, the Y721 will cost around $25 million a year to run. There is space for 18 guests on board, and it will require a crew of 40. Inside, it is said to be modeled on Diller’s yacht, Eos (a favorite of celebrity friends including Kate Perry, Prince Harry and Bradley Cooper) — although Eos stretches out a mere 305 feet. (When Diller bought it, the boat was the largest private sailing yacht in the world.) Ellison’s Musashi, meanwhile, comes in at 288 feet, while Brin’s Dragonfly is just 240 feet.

Bezos' Y721 yacht will reported feature three gigantic masts — similar to the "Black Pearl" (above), built by the same company, Oceanco — powered largely via a cutting-edge propulsion system that harnesses kinetic energy under sail.

Its tender will carry toys such as jet skis and smaller boats and also provide a helicopter landing pad — vital as Bezos’ high-flying girlfriend Lauren Sanchez, 52, likes to fly her beau on dates

The half-billion price tag is a relative drop in the ocean for the Amazon founder, whose net worth was valued at $181 billion by Forbes this week.

The interior of Bezos' yacht is reportedly modeled on media mogul and billionaire philanthropist Barry Diller's (above) yacht, "Eos."

And yet, not everyone is impressed.

“If I was Jeff Bezos I would have gone for something a bit more radical, but it is a big yacht, which I guess is the point,” said Russell Crump, an independent broker of bespoke yachts. “It will be beautiful . . . Oceanco are the biggest and the best builders in Holland.”

Yacht builder Oceanco will have to temporarily dismantle the Konigshaven Bridge, known as De Hef, in Rotterdam to allow Bezos' boat to pass.

The key word there is “biggest”: Even without the masts, Bezos’ yacht reportedly stands at over 131 feet tall, meaning Oceanco will have to temporarily dismantle the Konigshaven Bridge, known as De Hef, to allow the boat to pass.

Local authorities are expected to debate the request later this month, while a petition against it has been launched by local opponents (who have threatned to pelt the boat with rotten eggs) and collected more than 58,000 signatures.

Bezos' yacht is shaping up to be bigger than his billionaire friends'.

“This man has earned his money by structurally cutting staff, evading taxes, avoiding regulations and now we have to tear down our beautiful national monument?” Rotterdam politician Stephan Leewis tweeted of Bezos. “That is really going a bridge too far.”

Oceanco declined to confirm that Bezos had commissioned the new boat.

But will Bezos be able to top the others in the name department? One suggestion: The Compensator.

Here are the tech titans’ boats by the numbers:

Owner: Amazon founder Jeff Bezos Cost: $500 million Features: Three deck levels, a swimming pool, a helicopter landing pad on the tender and a kinetic-propulsion system. Length: 417 feet Speed: 20 knots Passengers: 40 crew, 18 guests Running costs: $25 million a year

Owner: IAC chairman Barry Diller Cost: $200 million Features: Interiors designed by the late François Catroux, known for his “grand coziness.” Pool on top deck. Figurehead of Diller’s wife, fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg, created by sculptor Anh Duong. Length: 305 feet Speed: 16 knots Passengers: 21 crew, 16 guests Running costs: $7 million a year

Owner: Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison Cost: $160 million Features: Spa, swimming pool, outdoor gym and movie theater Length: 288 feet Speed: 12 knots Passengers: 23 crew, 18 guests Running costs: At least $10 million a year

Owner: Google co-founder Sergey Brin Cost: $81 million Features: Open-air cinema, Jacuzzi and sundeck that converts to a dance floor Length: 240 feet Speed: 25 knots Passengers: 16 crew, 14 guests Running costs: $7 million a year

Jeff Bezos' new yacht will be sure to have a lot of goodies to please girlfriend Lauren Sanchez.

Barry Diller Weighs In From His Yacht On Strikes, Urging Media Companies To “Get Out Of The Room” With Netflix & Other Tech Giants And Hammer Out A Separate Deal

Longtime media potentate Barry Diller called on media companies to “get out of the room” with tech giants and instead hammer out a separate resolution to the writers and actors strikes.

“They should certainly get out of the room with their deepest fiercest and almost conclusive enemy, Netflix, and probably with Apple and Amazon,” Diller said on the podcast On with Kara Swisher . “Because Netflix is in one business and they are the rulers of the business they’re in. The other two, Apple and Amazon Prime, are in completely different businesses that have no business model relative to production of movies and television.”

The 2023 superyacht summer recap: Jeff Bezos is now king of the high seas

For billionaires and their celebrity friends, warm weather means it's yacht season.
Jeff Bezos recently debuted his $500 million megayacht Koru, which criss-crossed the Mediterranean.
Here's a recap of some superyachts that made headlines this summer — and the famous faces spotted on them.

Jeff Bezos made headlines in 2019 for a rare appearance partying at sea on David Geffen's yacht, the Rising Sun , with ex-Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein and model Karlie Kloss.

Four years later, Bezos is no longer Amazon's CEO, and he's spent the last few months earning a new title: king of the high seas. As 2023's yacht season comes to a close, it's clear that Bezos' brand new $500 million superyacht won the summer.

Many of the world's rich and famous have shied away from being spotted vacationing on yachts . Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav made that mistake early in the season, sparking backlash after hosting a lavish soiree overlooking a bevy of yachts on the French Riviera, just weeks after the Hollywood writer's strike kicked off.

But Bezos and his superyacht guests appear undaunted by coverage of their travels.

Bezos named his megaboat Koru, after a Maori symbol of growth (perhaps a reference to being the world's largest sailing yacht at 417 feet long) and new beginnings.

Koru took its maiden voyage to Gibraltar in April, and a flurry of photographed stops followed: In May, a shirtless Bezos and his now-fiancee Lauren Sanchez — who has a striking resemblance to the sculpture on Koru's bow — took the yacht for a spin off the coast of Spain, before sailing it to the Cannes Film Festival.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lauren Sanchez (@laurenwsanchez)

In June, Koru made its way to the Italian Riviera , where the couple posed for photos on the ship's deck. Then it stopped by the Italian island Capri, before posting up at nearby Positano, a cliffside town that's become a favorite of celebrities and travel influencers.

There, the yacht played host to an engagement party for Bezos and Sanchez , which reportedly drew guests including Bill Gates, Whitney Wolfe Herd, Ari Emanuel, and Leonardo DiCaprio. Just a week later, the couple was seen strolling the streets of Dubrovnik, Croatia, with Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry, and Usher.

Yacht season's runner-up: billionaire Barry Diller's Eos

Another highlight of this year's yacht season was the 305 foot-long Eos, owned by billionaire Barry Diller and fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, which also had a busy summer criss-crossing the Mediterranean.

Diane von Furstenberg, Candice Bergen, Emma Thompson, and More Get Their Final Yachts In

Once again, it’s that time of the year. Labor Day is next week, and so summer’s unofficial close drifts ever closer, lurking beyond the summer horizon, just lying in wait to whisper in your ear that you need to go buy pants and get your life together. Things will soon have a wash of seriousness to them. In will come books, notebooks, sweaters, and a furrowed brow. Out will go skin and frivolous yachts.

But not yet. There’s still a week, and some smart people seem to be getting their last yachts of the summer in. One last vacation on the books. A final hurrah, a goodbye to all that yachting, at least until next season. Diane von Furstenberg and Barry Diller, card-carrying yachters , invited some friends to their big ship over the weekend. The evidence came from within, a call from inside the house, if you will, as we know about this trip due to an Instagram from the cofounder of a spirits brand, Bruce Bozzi, as spotted by the Daily Mail , and not due to paparazzi. This is all to say, where the trip was is anyone’s guess. My guess? I’m going to say Mallorca. This is based on nothing, except, perhaps, that it seems like a nice place to take a 305-foot superyacht called Eos that’s reportedly worth $200 million .

The travelers were many. Emma Thompson, Diane Sawyer, and Candice Bergen. If the guest list were to stop there, then von Furstenberg could sell tickets to the cruise. That’s someone’s idea of a dream cruise. That’s maybe my idea of a dream cruise. But there were still more people on the trip. Bozzi and his husband, Creative Artists Agency cochairman Bryan Lourd , plus film producer Jason Blum and his wife, Lauren Schuker, and Ricky Van Veen, CollegeHumor cofounder and Allison Williams ’s ex.

Good for all of them. Smart people. Taking advantage of the last days of yacht season by yachting. Who knows what the fall will bring, what kind of work must get done, which big ideas will have to get thought up. For at least a little longer, one can be amongst friends, brain as smooth as the sea on a calm and breezeless day.

The superyachts owned by tech moguls

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is set to join the exclusive club of yacht-owning tech tycoons as the rumoured owner of Oceanco's mighty 127m sailing yacht . Though it should come as no surprise - other big names in tech such as the late Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison and Paul Allen have been responsible for some of the biggest and most ground-breaking superyachts in the world...

The 127-metre Oceanco sailing yacht Koru, formerly Y721, was launched and reportedly delivered to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in April 2023. This three-masted schooner, meaning “new beginnings” in Maori, with an expected 33000 GT and a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, is the largest in the world and the longest built in the Netherlands at Oceanco. Knocking Lürssen's Eos , owned by Biller and Diane von Furstenburg, off the top spot, Koru harnesses design similarities with her black hull, white superstructure and classic lines. However, the intricate gold paintwork, scarlet bootstrap and elaborate figurehead on the bow particularly set her apart.

Larry Ellison

American business magnate Larry Ellison is the co-founder of the billion-dollar computer tech corporation Oracle. In 2004, he commissioned the 138-metre Lürssen superyacht Rising Sun (pictured), which stands today as the 15th largest yacht in the world. It was also the last yacht that ever came from the drawing boards of legendary designed Jon Bannenberg, sporting a military-esque profile with a lean destroyer-type hull and extensive use of structural glass . Rising Sun boasts 8,000m² of living space including a wine cellar and basketball court, with a crew of 45. One of her tenders, a catamaran, even carries the yacht’s 4x4 vehicle ashore.

Ellison later sold the yacht to media mogul David Geffen and has since hosted a parade of Hollywood's glitterati on board including Leonardo DiCaprio, Steven Spielberg, Bruce Springsteen and Oprah Winfrey – to name a few.

In 2011, Ellison appeared to downsize and took delivery of the 88-metre Feadship Musashi . Not unlike Rising Sun in its appearance, structural glass features heavily throughout with a central glass lift, surrounded by a stainless steel and glass staircase that passes through every deck.

More about this yacht

The late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen is responsible for two of the most iconic superyachts in the world. At 126-metres in length, Octopus is perhaps his most famous. Built by Lürssen in 2003, this ice-classed superyacht was designed for extended cruising to the most remote locations on earth with a range of 12,500 nautical miles. Home to a helicopter garage, drive-in tender garage, six tenders, and a submarine, she packs a serious punch within her 9,932GT – not to mention the cinema, swimming pool, recording studio, basketball court and spa. At the end of 2019, she joined the market for the very first time , having completed an eight-month refit at Blohm+Voss, and remains the benchmark for exploration yachting.

Tatoosh is another honourable mention and was built by German shipyard Nobiskrug in 2000, three years prior to the delivery of Octopus . At 92-metres, she's smaller than her successor, but to describe Tatoosh as "small" would be a severe understatement. Highlights include a six-foot-deep swimming pool, a pair of helipads, a crew of 30, and a custom 12-metre Hinckley powerboat that she carries on her top deck. Tatoosh is also listed for sale following a refit earlier this year.

Yachts for charter

The 78-metre Feadship Venus was built for the late Apple boss and founder Steve Jobs. Built under the codename Project Aqua, Venus was launched to international fanfare in 2012, heralded for its extensive use of glass and pared-back design courtesy of Philippe Starck . Innovative features include a false top deck that conceals the communication and television receivers from view and a passarelle that, when opened, looks like the charging port of an iPhone. Venus ’s interior details have been closely guarded since its launch. Sadly, Jobs died a year before the yacht was delivered.

Charles Simonyi

Charles Simonyi led the team that built the first edition of the Microsoft Office software suite and was rumoured to have previously owned Lürssen’s iconic 71-metre SKAT . Nearly two decades after her launch in 2002, she joined the market for the first time and now Simonyi is thought to have upgraded to the 89-metre Lürssen Norn . Both yachts, penned by Espen Onion, share similar design features. Standout features include an alfresco cinema and adapted depth pool floor with dance floor. Norn was delivered in May 2023.

Sergey Brin

Google co-founder Sergey Brin reportedly owns the high-speed SilverYachts superyacht named Dragonfly , after Google’s once-secret project to launch a censored search engine in China. Delivered in 2009, the 73.3-metre Dragonfly was hailed as the fastest, most fuel-efficient long-range cruising superyacht on the water with a transatlantic range at 22 knots and a fuel consumption of only 360 litres per hour at 18 knots, extending her range to 4,500 nautical miles. Dragonfly is said to have a dance floor and open-air movie theatre on board. The vessel was applauded for its contribution to the disaster relief effort in Vanuatu after Hurricane Pam devastated the island in 2015. The crew reportedly moved 62 metric tons of freshwater ashore, treated over 250 patients, facilitated three medical evacuations, and built shelters in multiple villages and cleared numerous helicopter landing zones for ongoing support.

Yachts for sale

Google’s billionaire co-founder Larry Page purchased the 60-metre explorer yacht conversion Senses from a New Zealand businessman Sir Douglas Myers back in 2011. The globe-trotting superyacht features interiors by Philippe Starck and can accommodate a total of 12 guests on board, with primary guests reaping the benefits of the master suite's gyro-stabilised bed. Senses also houses an exceptional toy box with three high-speed tenders, six wave runners, a jet board and a JetLev. According to the New Zealand Herald, Senses is currently undergoing a refit in Whangārei, New Zealand, after being sold to an unknown buyer in 2020.

Barry Diller

The world’s largest three-masted schooner – also the third largest sailing yacht in the world – is owned by fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg and her husband Barry Diller, chairman and senior executive of IAC/InterActiveCorp and Expedia Group. The 92.92-metre sailing yacht, named Eos , was built in Germany by Lürssen and delivered in 2006 with a trio of masts that stand 61-metres tall. The sailing yacht has hosted the couple's star-studded group of friends including Andy Cohen, Gayle King, Bradley Cooper, Harry Styles and Karlie Kloss. The interiors were designed by Francois Catroux, who Vanity Fair named as “the super-rich's favourite interior designer" in 2016.

Mark Zuckerburg

The 107-metre Kleven superyacht Andromeda was built for serial superyacht owner Graeme Hart and delivered under the name Ulysses . In 2017, a year after its launch, rumours began circulating that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg had purchased the rugged, six-deck explorer (although a Facebook spokesperson was quick to stamp out the rumours and released a statement denying the claims). Andromeda can carry 36 guests and is equipped with an impressive inventory of toys and tenders, including six motorbikes, two ATVs, a helicopter and an amphibious rib. Five years after her launch, Andromeda still ranks among the largest explorer yachts in the world .

Eric Schmidt

The former Google ceo Eric Schmidt backed out of the purchase of the abandoned 81.3-metre Oceanco Alfa Nero but has been said to have moved onto become the new owner of a 95-metre Lürssen. Kismet was sold in September 2023 to the billionaire as part of one of the biggest brokerage deal of the year. With the details shrouded in secrecy the yacht is now aptly known as Whisper . Espen Onio was responsible for her iconic exterior while inside was thanks to Reymond Langton , achieving the original brief from the previous commissioning owner Shahid Khan of “caviar and champagne.” Standout details include the hi-tech, art deco saloon, a private observation platform and the Persian-inspired spa area.

The co-founder and former ceo of WhatsApp, Jan Koum, has been rumoured to own the 99.9-metre Feadship , Moonrise. The yacht’s clean and strong lines, penned by Chris Bottoms from Studio de Voogt , won the highly competitive class of best displacement motor yachts above 3,000 GT in the World Superyacht Awards 2021. Features include the helicopter landing deck and modern interiors by Remi Tessier . Accommodation is for up to 16 guests, and there are 32 crew members onboard Moonrise to attend to the guests' every need. The Ukrainian-American mogul is also said to own the accompanying support vessel Nebula.

Evan Speigel

The Silicone Valley ceo, Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel has been reportedly said to own the 94.8-metre Feadship Bliss. Delivered in 2021 the motor yacht penned by Feadship's Studio De Voogt Naval Architects has most recently been spotted cruising Auckland in September 2023. Spiegel is rumoured to be Feadship's younger client. Bliss can accommodate up to 18 guests across nine staterooms; however little else is known about the 2983 GT yacht.
