Med Superyacht Concept

At the heart of the concept is the “Agora.” Named after a gathering place in Ancient Greek villages, this open main deck acts as a spot for seafarers to congregate and enjoy the surroundings. With only a monumental staircase and a few pieces of statement furniture, the Agora can be adapted to suit any occasion, from open-air soirees to art shows to move nights.

The superstructure appears to be suspended above the Agora and is finished in reflective glass that mirrors the environment. All the exterior openings and windows are the same color as the hull so they are virtually invisible from the outside.

“I wanted to strip the profile of everything superfluous, leaving just the right number of elements to convey the concept,” studio founder Luiz de Basto said. “The flying superstructure volume touches the hull delicately, dissolving the main deck into a void space and leaving the Agora open.”

Inside the superstructure lie two decks of public spaces. Below the Agora, there are another two decks of private spaces that can be tailored to owners. The whole yacht can be tweaked to your liking, in fact.

“We are not interested in proposing an innovative profile only; we can make the design more conservative or modern, according to the owner’s preference,” De Basto adds.

The best part? The studio says work on Med can begin today. The team at Lateral Naval Architects has also spearheaded an industry-first structural lattice system that allows the superstructure to rest on four supports only for a minimal footprint. In other words, Med will be unlike any other cruiser on the high seas.

300 Foot Mega-yacht Dana Voyager

  • December 9, 2020

We have been watching and filming the many mega-yachts coming and going in our Bay of San Lucas. I also enjoy researching and discovering the story behind the yachts and the owners. This particular explorer style yacht is a bit of a mystery. 

It is owned by a small supply and service company called Voyager Marine Alliance Group (VMAG) based in Fort Lauderdale FL. David Leone is the President and presumed owner of the Voyager yacht. They provide a wide range of High Seas Navigation Systems, Communications Systems, Steering and Control systems along with Custom Pilot House Integrated Consoles. They spent 3 years retrofitting and upgrading this supply ship into this amazing Mega-yacht. This is the single largest rebuild ever in the USA. It was lengthened by 30 feet to a total length of 300 feet in Louisiana then shipped to corporate headquarters in Fort Lauderdale for the final finishes and extensive electronics work.

They claim this is the first fully integrated system on a yacht. “This means that anywhere on the vessel there are access points that can monitor any type of activity, i.e. navigation, security, radar, engines, generators, power distribution, fuel, water, etc., to enable the captain to have complete control of the vessel, whether he is at the helm, in the sun lounge or in his cabin.” All systems are accessed on touch screen computers. I’m imagining the captain using an iPad to control the whole ship.The unique aft has a wide range of tenders and dive boats as well as a fully stocked dive center. These under seas diving scientists are cruising in style with a staff of 70 for support.In any event, this unique style mega yacht is being used as a floating salesroom as well as a scientific research explorer. The real mystery is how a small company with only 12 employees and annual revenue of $2.27 million can afford such a prized mega-yacht. I would imagine the annual operating costs of this beast to equal their revenue.

Mega Yachts for Sale Worldwide

Mega yachts for sale worldwide, like M/Y NATITA

A mega yacht is generally understood to be a large superyacht that represents the absolute pinnacle of luxury yachting. View all mega yachts for sale worldwide here , including images and full specifications.

Mega yachts for sale like NATITA always have incredible sun decks and Jacuzzis

Exact definitions of mega yachts vary tremendously, although some believe that around 200 feet to be the starting size for a mega yacht for sale. Here in the United States however, the words ‘mega yacht’ is often used interchangeably with the words ‘super yacht’, which is used to refer to any privately owned-yacht over 80 feet in length.

Mega yachts for sale like NATITA always have wellness centers

Cinemas, helipads, spas, gyms and private owner’s decks with balconies are often standard fixtures on the larger mega yachts for sale – like the photos here show of yacht for sale NATITA – due to their luxury of size.

The biggest mega yachts will extend to basketball courts, large swimming pools, magnificent beach clubs and float-in tender garages to house sailboats, high-speed chase boats and even submarines.

Mega yachts for sale like NATITA always have cinema movie theatres

One of the most famous features of a mega yacht was the (reported) missile shield on Roman Abramovich’s yacht Eclipse, which held the title of the largest private yacht on earth at 522 feet until it was ‘eclipsed’ by Azzam, a Lurssen mega yacht measuring in at a staggering 590 feet.

Mega yachts for sale like NATITA always have palatial staterooms

The palatial accommodations on board a mega yacht are superb for entertaining groups and hosting extended families. Mega yachts generally carry large crews to offer a simply spectacular level of service, with guest-to-crew ratios only dreamt of in elite hotels.

Mega yachts for sale like NATITA always have various palatial salons

Because mega yachts over 200 foot are such extraordinary machines, there are a limited number of them afloat, although as the race for the biggest boat continues between the oligarchs we can expect this number to grow.

As of October 2015, there were only 200 yachts in the world larger than 213 foot. Given their rarity and ultimate exclusivity, the opportunity of purchasing a large mega yacht for sale does not appear often.

It’s useful, however, to know that the term ‘mega yacht’ is not a universally- recognized term and its exact meaning is debated, although it has gained common currency in the United States and in mainstream media around the world.

As mentioned, in the United States you will often find the words ‘mega yacht for sale’ being used interchangeably with the words ‘super yacht for sale’, yet in European yachting circles, the word super yacht is generally still preferred.  ‘Giga yacht’, meanwhile, is a relatively new word on the scene, often used to describe yachts over 100 meters, or 328 feet – but let’s not muddy the waters any further!

Regardless of what you call it, a mega yacht for sale is an investment offering an almost unbelievable level of luxury, performance and glamorous fun.

300 foot mega yacht

See Mark Zuckerberg’s glossy new $300M, 287-foot superyacht ‘Launchpad’

All aboard S.S. Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly gifted himself a $300 million megayacht, dubbed “Launchpad,” ahead of his 40th birthday.

The staggering 387-foot-long vessel was seen floating at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., after arriving at its berth earlier this week, The Sun reported Thursday.

The multi-layered luxury ship’s sleek exterior was designed by Espen Øino International and boasts a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure, according to SuperYacht Times.

Reportedly ranking as the 45th largest yacht in the world, the interiors are just as aesthetically pleasing and reportedly executed by Zuretti Interior Design company, a France-based company specializing in unique and custom yacht design.

The breathtakingly beautiful floater stands out with a navy blue theme matching an American flag perched proudly on its wood-paneled stern.

There are several outdoor areas where the social media maven will be able to relax with his family and the indoor levels feature glass paneling allowing for tons of natural light.

There also appears to be a helipad perfect for whenever the Facebook co-founder wants to travel to his vessel by air.

The Feadship-built yacht, built in 2022, can comfortably fit 24 guests aboard, requires a crew of 48, and is said to cost $30 million a year for upkeep and usage, according to Superyachtfan.com .

Boatworld insiders have been buzzing with speculation that Zuckerberg is the owner of the newly minted mega-cruise ever since it made its main voyage from the Netherlands last week.

The tech titan was spotted touring the Russian-commissioned megayacht in early March, though the impressive boat didn’t arrive stateside until this week due to sanctions, according to The Sun.

The website reported that Zuckerberg purchased the pricey yacht – along with its own $30 million partner boat — most likely as an early 40th birthday present to himself.

The boat reportedly traveled to Florida after being granted special permission to be imported just weeks ahead of Zuckerberg’s birthday on May 14.

Zuckerberg’s yacht is just 30 feet shorter than the length of fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos’ 417-foot megayacht Koru, which the Amazon boss snagged for a whopping $500 million.

Zuckerberg’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

300 foot mega yacht

Mark Zuckerberg’s $300million ‘birthday present’ mega yacht arrives in US – it even has its own $30m ‘wingman’ boat

  • Isabelle Hajek , Freelance News & Blogs Reporter
  • Published : 5:05, 21 Mar 2024
  • Updated : 20:54, 21 Mar 2024

FACEBOOK founder Mark Zuckerberg has shown off his wealth at sea, bringing his multimillion-dollar yacht to the United States just weeks before his birthday.

After rumors the billionaire was looking to invest in a yacht began circulating, Zuckerberg was quick to snag a $300 million mega yacht complete with its own $30 million partner boat.

Mark Zuckerberg's $300 million mega yacht arrived in port just weeks before the billionaire's 40th birthday

He was seen in the Netherlands touring Project 1010, a Russian-commissioned mega yacht, in early March.

Due to sanctions involved in importing the vessel to the United States, delivery of Zuckerberg's multimillion-dollar boat was delayed.

It was first spotted in home waters on March 20.

The 387-foot-long vessel docked at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with its chrome finish reflecting a harsh sun.

Project 1010 made its maiden voyage from the Netherlands after receiving special permission to be imported just weeks ahead of Zuckerberg's birthday, which is on May 14, raising questions about whether it could be a gift to mark the occasion.

The mega vessel is not far off the size of Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos' $500 million 417-foot tall mega yacht, Koru, which was spotted in the same state in November 2023.

The Abeona, his mega yacht's support vessel, a 264-foot garage to hold Bezos' luxury cars, private helicopter, and jet skis, was docked at a slip four miles away.

To put into perspective the additional costs Zuckerberg is looking at, Bezos reportedly bankrolled a $16,500 per week bill for Koru to stay at the port, part of the $25 million in annual costs the ship will rack up.

But cost is no object to 39-year-old Zuckerberg, as he was the youngest billionaire to make the top 10 wealthiest people in the world list.

In 2021, Zuckerberg was reportedly worth $108 billion, an amount that rose to $138.4 billion by January 2024.

Zuckerberg is hardly known for conserving his money when faced with large purchases.

In December 2021, it was reported that Zuckerberg was breaking ground on an estimated $270 million, 57,000-square-foot Doomsday bunker.

Plans for the structure include filling the football field-sized space with 30 bedrooms, elevators, a swimming pool, sauna, tennis court, and full-sized gym.

EARNING $48,328 - MINUTE BY MINUTE

While a $330 million purchase might sound outlandish to most, especially when coupled with a $270 million bunker, Zuckerberg can make that money back in about two months.

The Meta, formerly Facebook, founder reportedly makes between $6 million and $12 million each day, equating to an estimated yearly earning of more than $3 billion.

In 2018, Zuckerberg earned roughly $1.7 million an hour, according to previous Business Insider calculations.

By 2020, he ranked as the fourth richest person on the planet.

For scale, it takes Zuckerberg less than an hour-and-a-half to earn what the Social Security Administration reports an average American man with a bachelor's degree will earn in his lifetime — $2.2 million.

Lady S underway during sea trials.

When it comes to billionaire bragging rights, it’s pretty hard to top owning an NFL Team. However, there’s an even more elite group of owners who can also boast about owning some of the largest private yachts to be launched this season. And that group is getting bigger now that Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has joined Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan (and a few others) in what we'll just call the “NFL Owners Superyacht Club” (membership requires owning at least one yacht above 300-feet-long).

Lady S cutting through the seas.

The internet lit up when the Dutch superyacht shipyard Oceanco delivered the 357-foot-long, $250 Million superyacht Bravo Eugenia recently. But when yachting websites, and other publications started to report that Bravo’s owner was none other than Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, media reports became even more sensational . And since the sometimes bombastic billionaire has never been afraid of the limelight, it comes as no surprise that the sports and financial media took notice.

Lady S sports a serious helipad.

Meanwhile, Shahid Khan’s 312-foot-long Kismet was designed to impress dockside onlookers while shielding VIP guests from too much attention while they are on board. But then again, the Espen Oeino—designed yacht can’t help but attract attention.

But the newest member of the club, the 305-foot-long Feadship Lady S owned by Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has something that no other super yacht in the world has—a 12 seat, two-deck tall IMAX theater that only added an extra $3 million to the final price tag.

Lady S has ample deck space.

Just launched at the Dutch superyacht yard Feadship, Lady S features a striking exterior designed by Michael Leach Design and interior designed by Reymond Langton. And if Snyder’s one-of-a-kind IMAX theater isn’t enough to turn heads in the hyper-exclusive “NFL Owners Superyacht Club,” Lady S also has a fully certified helipad, four VIP suites with 8k TVs, and facilities that cater to a wide range of sports including golf, basketball, volleyball and…you guessed it…football.
