She is the tallest yacht in the world, with three gorgeous, towering masts measuring over 230 feet and a crew comprising 60 members. She’s one of the top 25 greatest vessels worldwide and the biggest to ever leave The Netherlands.
Bezos had originally commissioned the yacht to be constructed in 2021 (May) by a Dutch-based boating major named Oceanco, and the project was dubbed Y721.
Rumours suggest she has multiple decks, a pool, and a relatively smaller yacht with a helipad to permit the billionaire access from and to the boat.
