In February 2020 international media reported about Bill Gates Yacht: He is supposed to have purchased Project Aqua, a 112-meter hydrogen-powered yacht designed by Sinot Yacht Design. This is ‘fake news’: Gates did not buy this project.
We were told however that Gates is actually building a new motor yacht. He is building a superyacht at a Dutch yard (according to the Telegraph it is Feadship), with a UK-based designer. Do you know more about this project? Please do send us a message.
In December 2020 the yacht Wayfinder was launched at Astilleros Armon in Spain. Wayfinder will be the support vessel for Bill Gates yacht. The vessel will carry tenders and toys for the mothership.
Wayfinder will accommodate a crew of 18 and additional staff and guests of 14.
Her features include a hangar for a helicopter, tenders, and a rescue boat.
The boat was designed to reduce or diminish the impact on the environment. All wastewater will be cleaned before it’s discharged. And the vessel will store all waste from herself and her mothership.
Does he own a yacht? He ordered a large yacht in The Netherlands. The yacht will be delivered around 2022. He is often linked to large yachts around the world. Media is naming them ‘the yacht of Bill Gates’.
Update: Gates is rumored to have bought a yacht. Media report that it is the 112 meter Project Aqua. But this is incorrect and fake news. Gates is building a large yacht in The Netherlands however. If you have more info on this project? Please do send us a message.
He does have a lot of relatives, friends, and business partners who do own large yachts. Therefore he is often spotted at large superyachts around the world
For example, his 1994 honeymoon was on Paul Allen’s yacht Charade. In 2012 he was spotted in Belize on Dennis Washington’s motor yacht Attessa.
In 2014 he was having a holiday with his family on board the yacht Serene. Serene is one of the largest yachts in the world. At the moment the yacht was owned by Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler. The yacht is now owned by the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia.
To charter, a yacht the size of Serene will probably cost more than US$ 2 million per week.
This is Crazy:
Yachts often wrongly referred to as his yacht are: Octopus (owned by his business partner Paul Allen) and Skat (owned by his other business partner/ employee Charles Simonyi). And Attessa owned by US billionaire Dennis Washington.
