The Zeus yacht was built as Eco for Mexican mogul Emilio Azcárraga. He was the founder and former CEO of TV and media conglomerate Televisa. After he died in 1997 (onboard his yacht) the yacht was sold to Larry Ellison. He named her Katana.
When Ellison’s new yacht Rising Sun was delivered, he sold Katana to Aidan Barclay. Barclay named her Enigma. Christodoulou also owns a 165 ft Mangusta, now named Zeus I.
The yacht was purchased in 2017 for EUR 48,5 million. Before that, she was known as Enigma. She was owned by Aidan Barclay.
Zeus is designed by Martin Francis.
