Superyacht half a billion USD, running 16,000 km without refueling of billionaire Jeff Bezos

Y721 is the world’s largest sailing yacht expected to be completed in 2022. The boat has 3 masts, 3 huge decks but no helipad. In the book Amazon Unbound, the yacht is described as one of the finest sailing yachts in existence.

Jeff Bezos’ superyacht made by Dutch firm Oceanco has 3 floors with a length of 127 m with a black hull and an overall classic and elegant design. The design of the boat is said to be based on the design of the largest “black pearl” ship named DynaRig in the world also of this company.

Jeff Bezos’ yacht will carry the crew and the billionaire’s staff. The yacht has enough space for meetings and entertainment, and stores all of Bezos’ items. The interior of the Y721 was designed by Winch Design (London, UK) and can travel 9,000 nautical miles (equivalent to 16,668 km) without refueling. According to some market analysts, in addition to using it for relaxation, Jeff Bezos can also rent out his superyacht to film crews as a filming set.

The Y721 is now out of the shipyard and on its way to Alblasserdam for final assembly. Oceanco still keeps a secret about whether Jeff Bezos is the real owner as well as whether the billionaire put the yacht into operation due to the maximum privacy policy of customer information.

This is not the first yacht Jeff Bezos owns. Before that, the billionaire bought a yacht from the shipbuilder Damen Yachts used to carry cars and helicopters while at sea. Jeff Bezos’s ownership of another yacht fits perfectly with the “boom” figures in the yachting industry for 2021 despite the impact of the pandemic. In the US, boat sales have reached their highest level in 13 years. The National Association of Marine Manufacturers of the United States believes that this is a safe hobby of the super-rich when creating their own private space instead of going to public places to ensure epidemic prevention principles.

Jeff Bezos currently owns a fortune of $ 197 billion, the second richest in the world after Elon Musk. Previously, in 2020, Bezos’ fortune increased sharply due to high shopping demand amid the outbreak of the disease.
