Boat of the Week: This Sleek 184-Foot Superyacht Is an Otherworldly Homage to Burning Man

The worlds of the desert festival, Burning Man, and superyachting may not seem like a natural fit, but the owners and designers of 184-foot Galaxy successfully made those worlds collide—and, in the process, showed how yacht design can be a lot more creative, and fast.

The five-month refit of Galaxy —a 2005 Benetti —was not only unusually speedy for a superyacht, but signals the emergence of a new kind of yachting, a clean-slate design that gave the owners the fantasyland interior that they wanted. Typically, most interior refits involve only cosmetic changes, and from the exterior, Galaxy looks almost painfully cookie-cutter. But inside, the bold, bespoke look may inspire others to follow their wildest dreams, rather than staying safe with a conventional design.

Njord by Bergman Design House created the eclectic interior. The refit was done by Monaco Marine and GM Group at the La Ciotat yard in France. “ Galaxy isn’t just another white superyacht on the French Riviera,” says Sarah Colbon, co-founder of the London-based design firm. “The yacht is its own out-of-world destination that touches all your senses and excites and embraces you with its energy.”

Burning Man is an annual gathering that takes place in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert. It’s a mix of art, music and free expression that embraces individual creativity, no matter what that looks like. And it can look pretty wild. At the end of the festival is the ritual burning of “The Man,” a tall effigy made of wood. Galaxy ‘s owners, a leading American video-games developer and his partner, are frequent attendees. They were inspired by the festival and a love of entertaining, says Colbon, to create an “alternate universe.”

The expansive main deck has been transformed into a giant “floating private member’s club,” with bespoke décor and alternatively moody and brightly colored artwork. “The Thinker” by contemporary artist Joseph Klibansky reimagines Rodin’s classic sculpture as an astronaut, and there are also paintings by Camille Hannah and wall coverings by digital artist Dylan Cole, known for Disney’s Avatar and Maleficent .

The wallpaper is Cole’s first static project. “He’s never done this before, but he appreciated the concept of Galaxy and loved the sound of the owners,” says Colbon. “So he agreed to create the owners’ own Avatar world onboard.” If you look closely, you’ll spot secret creatures and “ET” aliens hidden in the otherworldly scenes that Cole created.

While the main deck is a nightclub that would look right at home on some alien world, the upper deck is designed for the opposite effect. It features a lounge and dining space for 12 guests which is “super calm,” according to the designer.

“What’s wonderful about Galaxy is you can switch it on and off,” says Colbon. “You can go from the ultimate club space with RGB lighting, party vibes and a DJ stand, to the serene upper deck where you can connect with your senses.”

When they’re done for the day, guests can retire to suites which have been named and styled after other planets. “We’ve designed Venus and Saturn with beautiful light pearls and golds, while Mars has these striking earthy red tones,” says Colbon. “Rather than being gimmicky, we’ve respected the colors and sensibilities of the planets.”

The digital-art ceiling and mural behind the bed by Dylan Cole (one of the artists on the Disney movie “Avatar”) re-create the owners’ star signs and their favorite constellation.  Courtesy Njord by Bergman

The master suite is even more bespoke: The bed’s headboard is designed with a metal bronze effect with tiny LED lights that create a star-gazing platform. The owners’ star signs also come through as the brighter lights, while their friends’ star signs are dimmer lights. On the ceiling is the owners’ favorite constellation.

The centerpieces of the yacht are the stairwell and elevator areas, hand-painted with an ombre, galaxy-toned effect.

Galaxy is filled with special features, including adjustable RGB lighting and smart materials like a specially engineered flooring. Colbon says that’s a world first for a superyacht. “The tight ripple effect stimulates the nerve endings on your feet when you walk on it and triggers endorphins to make you super relaxed,” she says. “It also looks like the ocean with tiny waves crashing on top of each other.”

Bespoke lounges, tables and sculptures are part of Galaxy ‘s unique vibe.  Courtesy Njord by Bergman

The crew thought it was crazy to use this surface as flooring, says Colbon. “But they understand now.”

The five-month turnaround also seemed like a stretch, especially since it included a full exterior paint job, new name plates and a spa. And then there was the fantastical interior.

“This yacht shows how design can be done differently in every way,” says Colbon. “It ranges from a new type of owner to the ways that collaborations between the designers and yard can actually change the whole refit process. I think Galaxy is going to really shine.”

Galaxy will be delivered to its owners in mid-March.

Positive Customer Review: "One of the most memorable parts for me was the launch. I went with my wife, and Benetti had a Roman Catholic priest bless the yacht. It was very beautiful with all the Italian music and then the British national anthem, and it was all very unexpected. I thought I was just going to be putting the boat in the water, but in fact it turned into a very emotional day!" - Owner of a Benetti called motor yacht 11:11

Part of the celebrated archipelago of the Balearics , one momentous scene on this island enchants all guests whether they are seeking respite or hedonism: the fiery sunsets that hypnotically ripple through the sky. Coupled with its top-end superyacht marinas, fine gastronomy, markets fizzling with life, and enviable climate – over 300 days of sunshine each year – Ibiza's pull is magnetic.

• Iconic club scene Ibiza's nightlife is nothing short of legendary, replete with its hip beach bars and clubs, attracting a distinguished clientele for decades.
• Glossy bohemia Upscale boho vibes are just as ubiquitous to the White Isle as its exuberant party ambiance.
• Superb superyacht marinas Well-provisioned, picturesque marinas are dotted along this glittering isle.
• Beaches, calas, and inlets abound And all are hugged by serene, bathwater-warm seas. It's no wonder Ibiza perennial attracts party-goers and families alike.
• Effortless island-hopping For those eager for adventure, the achingly beautiful islands of Mallorca, Menorca, and Formentera are within easy reach on your yacht.

Guests on an Ibiza yacht charter vacation can choose to embrace the island’s hedonistic side in its numerous bars and beach clubs, with some of the best found in San Antonio and on the celebrated sands of Las Salinas . Here you can truly indulge your party animal, alongside a raft of A-listers and hip elites who all convene under the sets of world-class DJs for night-long fiestas till sunrise. Throughout summer there are also numerous festivals which locals celebrate with fireworks, including the magnificent pyrotechnic display every August that celebrates the fiesta of Saint Bartholomew , with superyacht guests enjoying the best views from the sea. 

For those looking for something more tranquil, there are myriad secluded anchorages and private golden-hued bays to be found peppered around the outskirts of the island, with some of the best beaches only accessible by yacht, such as the orange-scented Es Cubells known for its authentic quality restaurants and beautiful clear waters, and Sa Cova de Xarraca – a curve of golden sands set in a beautiful deep and turquoise bay, tucked away around the rocks from its slightly busier cousin Cala Zarraca in the north of the island.

The most harmonious union with an Ibiza yacht charter naturally involves cruising to its sensational sister islands. Mallorca , the biggest isle of them all, is a hive of activity that dazzles with its luxe marinas and a spellbinding number of beaches (262 of them in fact). Calmer Menorca is teeming with barely-frequented coves and thrilling diving spots, whilst diminutive Formentera fascinates with its Caribbean-like appearance.

Alternatively, for those looking to incorporate mainland Spain, Barcelona , Valencia or Dénia are all superyacht hotspots

Who Goes on an Ibiza Yacht Charter?

Ibiza is the glittering jewel in the Balearics’s treasure chest, representing the perfect combination of hedonism and tranquillity – where you’ll find buzzy beach clubs and upscale dining vying for your attention with beautiful sand beaches lapped by clear turquoise waters. On top of this, visitors can immerse themselves in the island’s rich cultural history in Ibiza’s glorious Old Town.

The island attracts many A-listers and Hollywood glitterati, who come here to soak up the superyacht lifestyle and luxurious atmosphere in a medley of 5-star resorts, wellness spas and exclusive night clubs.

Part of the “Fabulous Four” in the Balearics archipelago, Ibiza was originally founded by Phoenician settlers in 654 BC and became a regular stop on the Mediterranean trade route, producing goods such as dye, salt and wool. Over the centuries Ibiza has been conquered by the likes of the Romans, Moors and even Nowegians, although eventually enjoyed autonomous rule until after the War of Spanish Succession in the 18th Century when King Philip V of Spain imposed strict rules and language on the island. At this point the Catholic church ran much of Ibiza’s affairs, including the building of several churches.

Tourism on the island began to flourish in the early 1930s after the introduction of a regular ferry from the mainland, with the subsequent development of major beach resorts in the 1950s transforming it into a major tourist hub. An influx of bohemians in the 1960s, who embraced the island’s mystical allure, greatly added to the island’s creative tilt. Today, Ibiza is a popular hotspot for visitors drawn to its utopian beaches, boho vibe and uber cool nightclubs.

Fully embrace the magic of Ibiza with a dusting of high-end glamor and choose a crewed motor yacht charter or sailing yacht charter.

As a perennial favorite destination for yacht charters in Spain , guests have ample choice when it comes to selecting a crewed charter yacht. Not sure what type of vessel to pick in Ibiza? Let's narrow down the main differences between the two:

Motor Yacht Charters in Ibiza

A crewed motor yacht charter in Ibiza is an haute-luxe affair. Think superlative amenities and services akin to a five-star hotel, combined with your own world-class chef and unparalleled freedom. Savor the thrill of being able to cruise towards blissfully secluded spots only accessible by boat, and whip out the water toys for a spin on Ibiza's calm coast. Tiptoe down to remote coves ensconced in aquamarine waters for lazy lunches or underworld adventures, before cocooning in your own private paradise.

Sailing Yacht Charters in Ibiza

The scintillating Ibizan temperatures from May till October provide a splendid climate for a sailing yacht charter. As an island known for its sun-kissed days gently cooled by slight northern winds, navigation is a breeze. Siestas are a beloved part of the rhythm of daily life here, so why not opt for a sailing yacht that mirrors this deliciously slower pace, and make the most of these vessels' wide decks for sunbathing or dining al-fresco.

With so many options available, there’s something to suit every type of budget. For convenience we have listed the average prices for motor yacht and sailing yacht charters in Ibiza below;

• For motor yacht rentals in Ibiza, prices can range from $35,741 to $2.3m per week, plus expenses
• For luxury sailing yacht rentals in Ibiza, prices can go from $33,999 to $219,800 weekly, plus expenses

Related articles

As well as the Ibiza yacht charter fee itself (plus any delivery or redelivery costs), you will need to pay VAT. But how much does VAT cost for yacht charters in Ibiza? Below are the main points you need to consider before chartering:

• VAT is charged at 21% in Ibiza and the rest of the Balearics (and mainland Spain) for yachts with a Spanish charter license. This applies if you begin or end your charter here
• EU-flagged yachts can charter anywhere in Spain
• For non-EU flagged yachts, charters can only take place in the Balearic Islands and Barcelona

A 24% Non-Resident Income Tax may apply if the owning company has fiscal residency in a country that does not currently have in force a dual taxation treaty with Spain

For additional information on VAT and extra fees concerning your yacht charter in Ibiza, please consult your chosen yacht charter broker .

May till the end of October  are the best times to visit Ibiza's pine-fragranced shores. Averaging 23-24 degrees in May, the temperatures start to climb in July and August (Ibiza's peak season) reaching 31 degrees.

Turquoise-sea dips in Ibiza are also invitingly warm, reaching a peak of 26 degrees in August.

Most Ibiza yacht charters will commence in Ibiza Town, where you can arrange for the yacht to be berthed in a slip for the night. There are two main harbors here, with the largest and most well-equipped being Marina Ibiza – home to numerous upscale bars and restaurants as well as celebrated clubs Blue Marlin , Lio and Pacha , great for kicking things off in style.

Ibiza Old Town is also perfect for exploring the island’s cultural roots and guests can spend their first day meandering the winding lanes, awash with colorful daubed houses and cafes that spill out onto the narrow pavements, all adding to the magical allure.

Sample itineraries

The Ibiza yachting scene is undeniably glitzy and redolent of lives well-lived. With outstanding marinas replete with exclusive restaurants and ultra-chic bars all fringed by waters with a pale topaz glow, it's no wonder berths here are so sought-after. Here are the best superyacht marinas in Ibiza.

• Ibiza Magna Marina: located in a prime position by the charming Old Town, this marina has over 85 berths for yachts up to 60m.
• Sovren Marina: situated in the heart of Ibiza, this highly exclusive marina has 16 berths for superyachts between 60m to 185m.
• Marina Ibiza: stylish marina with 425 berth capacity for yachts up to 110m.
• San Antonio Marina : nestled on Ibiza's West Coast with moorings for 578 yachts up to 55m.

For nights not spent in a marina, Ibiza is brimming with beautiful anchorage spots. One of our top picks is Cala Jondal – a long sweeping crescent of sparkling blue waters backed by smoky pines which the superyacht set flock to each year. Another top pick is the urbane-cool of Blue Marlin Beach Club and its billowing ivory cabanas beckon the most discerning jet-setters here, who sip sundowners as an apricot glow dapples the shorefront.

Further north-west, the blindingly pretty Es Cubells is where the glitterati settles for a less frenetic pace. Citrus-scented, the village is populated by clouds of bougainvillea whose petals fall like confetti in front of whitewashed fincas . Jade-blanketed cliffs cradle three quiet coves, so slip on some scuba gear or doze happily on one of its intimate beaches before jumping back on board.

Next, cruise towards the solitude of  Cala d'Hort, a cove that's one part pearly-white white sands to two-parts eye-popping teal sea. You'll have an excellent vantage point here of the ethereal Es Vedrá, a lonely limestone cliff that soars majestically from the water. From your sundeck Jacuzzi, you will also be in prime position to marvel at the sunset perform its nightly arabesques, veering vividly from vermillion to magenta in minutes.

One of Ibiza's liveliest and well-known coves, golden  Cala Bassa curves sweepingly into a pool of water tinted an unfathomable shade of turquoise. Tanned party-goers saunter down to its celebrated beach club for aperitifs on plumped-up daybeds, before hopping back on their superyacht to reach nearby San Antonio and shimmying till dawn.

In the north, opt for spine-tinglingly gorgeous Cala Portinatx for a glorious strip of unspoiled coastline. Watersports abound here, and hiking trail excursions providing vertiginous sea views of the glass-clear aquamarine shallows below. Seek refuge at  Aguas Blancas , lingering at its tranquil beach and soaking up its laid-back bohemian atmosphere. Pay a visit to the much-loved chiringuito  for a steaming paella after a sun-baked day's subaquatic exploration.

• Consider chartering a yacht on either side of the shoulder season in Ibiza if you would prefer fewer crowds. This is either April to May or September to October.
• In the Balearic Islands, anchoring directly above Posidonia (type of seagrass) preservation areas are not allowed, with fines issued if you break the rules. Protected anchorage zones in the Balearics include: Cabrera, Sa Dragonera, Cala Blava, Portopetro, Punta de L’Avançada and Cala d’Or
• You may find that whilst cruising in the Balearics some bays have color-coded buoys according to boat length. This is to help protect underwater flora and they must be obeyed.
• Most shops will close each day from 2 pm till 5 pm for an afternoon siesta.
• If you are interested in experiencing Ibiza nightlife, remember that most clubs do not open till at least midnight.
• Some coves in Ibiza (such as Aguas Blancas) have areas reserved for nudists.
• Whilst exploring onshore, it is handy to have cash on you, as a considerable number of small, independent businesses in the Balearics will not accept card payment. Luckily, there are plenty of cashpoints dotted around the marinas.

We strongly advise booking well in advance of your planned Ibiza yacht charter to ensure you get the perfect vessel for your selected dates. We recommend booking at least 3 months ahead to give your broker the time to organize a sublime bespoke yacht charter and book ahead for the nights you intend to spend in marinas. This is particularly pertinent to the Balearics, where fewer West Mediterranean yachts are in the region during peak season, and a Spanish charter license will need to be obtained.

Ibiza Yacht Charter Q&A

For most Ibiza yacht charters to be secured, you will usually need to provide a completed charter agreement and 50% of the charter fee as a deposit. This is payable once the contract has been signed.

You will have a greater variety of yachts to pick from if you decide to start your charter in Ibiza or Mallorca compared to mainland destinations. Whilst Barcelona certainly has a considerable array of yachts to choose from, it is not as extensive as the islands. 

We also strongly recommend that you book your yacht charter in Ibiza at least three months in advance to ensure you get the yacht you desire. The longer you leave it, you'll find you'll have less choice available.

There is a yacht to suit almost every budget in Ibiza so rest assured that you will find a vessel suitable to your requirements.

But when booking do keep in mind the costs that aren't included in the base rate, namely VAT and the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance). The APA is usually paid in advance of the charter and is commonly set at 30% of the charter fee. This allowance covers expenses such as fuel, berthing, food and drinks, as well as any special requests. 

Please consult your yacht charter broker for any other costs you may need to factor in.

May through till October is the best time to visit the sun-drenched shores of Ibiza. Temperatures can rise to a heady 31 degrees in July and August, with its waters reaching 26 degrees respectively.

Yachts will need to obtain a Spanish charter licence in order to cruise Ibizan waters, this is applicable if you are beginning or ending your charter in Spain.

Find the best Ibiza yacht that meets your requirements by browsing on our website the selection of luxury motor yachts and sailing yachts to charter in Ibiza. All you need to do is pick your chosen dates, number of guests, yacht type, features, and desired onboard toys and we'll show you what's available.

If you make a booking enquiry, a yacht charter broker will then contact you and craft a bespoke charter proposal for Ibiza.

Alternatively, you can contact your  yacht charter broker directly to conduct research on your behalf.

Yes, it is certainly possible to cruise towards mainland Spain. A number of Ibiza charters (that may also incorporate the other Balearic Islands) decide to begin or end their yacht charters in popular mainland destination such as Barcelona, home to a renowned superyacht marina, vibrant Valencia, a mere 50 miles from the Balearics, or picture-perfect Dénia in the Costa Blanca.

Let us organise your perfect Ibiza yacht charter itinerary.

Our expert brokers know the cruising grounds intimately, both personally through first-hand experience and in real time through contacts on the ground. Your itinerary will be tailored specifically for you to deliver the holiday you want.

New to charter?

The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is due at the time of the final charter payment. Under MYBA terms, this sum is usually equivalent to 30 per cent of the total charter fee, but may be up to 40 per cent in some cases.

Intended to cover the operating expenses of a charter as explained under Charter Terms, such as fuel, food, drinks, port fees and ad hoc incidentals, the APA will be given to the captain before the start of your charter. The Captain will ensure that the yacht is fully fuelled and provisioned when you step on board. While an up-to-date summary of accounts can be requested at any time during your charter, a full set of accounts will normally be submitted by your captain at the end of the cruise. If, during the charter, the expenditure exceeds the sum already paid, additional cash funds will be required at once.

All outstanding bills from the yacht charter should be settled in cash or by bank transfer before your final disembarkation. Of course, any remaining credit at the end of your charter will be reimbursed to you in full. On request, transfer arrangements to and from the yacht can be made by Burgess or by the yacht’s captain, payment for which will be deducted from your APA.

Once you confirm your reservation, your broker will process your payment.

• If you are booking for a single day and your reservation is confirmed more than 7 days in advance, a deposit of either $1,000 USD or 50% of the total cost of the reservation (whichever is greater) is processed immediately in order to hold the yacht. Once your embarkation date is 7 days away, the remainder of the amount due is processed.
• If you are booking for a single day and your reservation is made 7 days or less in advance, the total price of your reservation is processed immediately.
• If you are booking for a multi-day charter and your reservation is confirmed more than 30 days in advance, a deposit of 50% of the cost of the yacht is processed immediately in order to hold the yacht. Once your embarkation date is 30 days away, the other 50% is collected for the price of the yacht, plus the APA, plus the taxes due.

Terms of refunds are dictated by the Charter Agreement. Generally, once a payment is collected, it is non-refundable. In certain circumstances, as dictated by the Charter Agreement, credits can be provided so you will be able to enjoy your yacht charter at a future date that is convenient for you.

Paris Hilton with New Love in Ibiza on board 183ft Superyacht Galaxy

The pair were seen smooching (cute!), as well as trying out the yacht’s amazing water toys (including the jet-skis) off the coast of the beautiful island of Formentera.

On her Tumblr account she posted a photo of herself with the message to her followers “Loving & LivingTheLife in Ibiza. 🌈👸🏼🌈 #Happy #Blessed #Loved 💖 (at Formentera Island)”

Paris Hilton and Thomas Gross on board Galaxy

Ever since the super-rich couple met at the  Cannes Film Festival  last May, they have reportedly been inseparable – despite Gross working all the way in Switzerland! Thomas owns the luxury yacht Galaxy, thanks to selling his soccer-based company back in 2012 for a cool $150 million. The yacht boasts a huge wine cellar, Nikki Beach-style cinema, Jacuzzi, gym, an original Warhol artwork and an amazing outdoor dining table which casually coverts into a helipad! Nice!

Paris of course is no stranger to the superyacht lifestyle, charging a cool $30,000 per hour for DJ gigs, and having a pretty impressive perfume empire worth a cool $2 billion has meant she is often seen living the high life in the world’s most glamorous destinations!

The pair seem pretty serious, with Paris recently posting a black and white-filtered pic of herself gazing into Thomas’s eyes with a caption recently reading ‘Soulmates’ with her 4.8 million Instragram followers. Aww!

So much for not for “really have time for a boyfriend” as you told DuJour just before meeting Thomas, huh Paris?

Paris and Thomas on jetskis off the coast of Spain

The luxurious superyacht can accommodate up to 12 guests in 6 staterooms, and a features lift on board – just in case Paris is too tired to take the stairs! Available to rent, Galaxy as been rented by none other than popstar  Rihanna on a previous holiday she went on in the south of France and Beyonce when she went to St Barts.

Paris has since posted some more gorgeous images of her lavish superyacht vacation on her Instagram, with captions like ‘Loving & LivingTheLife in Ibiza. #Happy #Blessed #Loved.’ Watch this space for more updates and fingers crossed Paris can make this a long-term relationship this time!

Should you fancy following in Paris’s footsteps and enjoying the celeb life, then this yacht from the Italian shipyard Benetti can be rented for around $250,000 per week plus expenses in the summertime, according to a leading yacht charter website.

What yachting industry insiders have to say about Jeff Bezos' superyacht

• Jeff Bezos' yacht , which reportedly cost $500 million to build, completed its first year at sea.
• The superyacht, Koru, was a frequent topic of conversation at the Palm Beach boat show.
• Here's what industry insiders think about the vessel.

It's been just about a year since Koru, Jeff Bezos ' $500 million megayacht, set sail from the Oceanco shipyard in the Netherlands, capturing the attention of yachting insiders and land dwellers alike.

Even after her first season at sea, the 127-meter ship is still one of the most talked about vessels among those in the know — and not just for the busty figurehead on its prow, which many have wrongly speculated is based on Bezos's fiancée . Koru was a hot topic at the annual Palm Beach International Boat Show, where the yachts of other billionaires were on display for sale or charter.

The overwhelming response from those Business Insider spoke to was awe, with many praising her unique design, commenting on her immense size, or remarking that they'd been lucky enough to see her up close.

"It's absolutely beautiful," said Federico Rossi, the COO of luxury yachtbuilder Rossinavi.

Still, due to the small size of the industry — and the fact that privacy is paramount in the yachting community — even those who complimented Koru mostly did not want to go on record in order to protect professional relationships.

"That thing's amazing," one such superyacht expert told BI. "It's very well done in terms of craftsmanship."

Unlike many other megayachts, Koru, which media billionaire Barry Diller's Eos inspired, is designed as a sailing yacht. That bucks the current trend of more severe-looking explorer boats — though Koru's 75-meter support vessel Abeona is of a more typical style,

"I heard back in 2018 or something that somebody had ordered a classic sailing yacht," the superyacht expert also told BI. "You order 125 meters, that's not really going to be classic. But it is. I think it's pretty cool."

Like most other megayachts, Koru is powered by her engines, which are reportedly innovative in their use of a kinetic energy recovery system. Industry experts, therefore, pointed out that her sails are more for looks than anything else — but that still works in her favor, with many praising her overall aesthetic appeal.

Related stories

"It's stunning," added a captain who has worked on several megayachts. He said he'd seen Koru in St. Barts, a favorite spot of Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez , over the holidays.

"There are definitely uglier boats out there," one yacht architect said. "It's not like it's shaped like his rocket," he jokily added, referring to the phallic design of Blue Origin's New Shephard .

Some, though, think the yacht is a bit excessive — which is saying something in a world where bigger is better and $250 million is a normal amount to spend.

"That's over the top. That's an insanely ridiculous boat," a longtime broker who favors discretion said. It's a "whole big show."

And the expert who praised the yacht's craftsmanship balanced his admiring comments by saying Koru's liberal use of teak — a wood traditionally used for yacht decks — was "bizarre."

The material has gained a bad reputation in the industry in recent years, as it typically comes from Myanmar, a country with a checkered human rights record. Plus, it takes a long time to grow, leading to deforestation.

Many shipyards have now turned to alternatives, like bamboo or plantation-grown teak, in their pushes toward sustainability. Bezos' team did not respond to BI's question about the origin of the deck's wood.

Teak or not, the yachting industry isn't generally known for being all that environmentally friendly — or indeed lowkey, so many who BI talked to didn't buy into the idea that Koru is "too much."

"If this is genuinely Jeff's dream come true, then great," Anders Kurtén, the CEO of brokerage Fraser Yachts, said. "I'm genuinely happy for him, and I'm happy for the people who got the opportunity to have employment to work on that."

And Bezos, of course, isn't the only billionaire with a stunning yacht . Billionaires like Jerry Jones and Bernard Arnault have also, at times, turned heads with their boats.

Most recently, insiders have tied Mark Zuckerberg to a 118-meter ship named Launchpad . It's the latest superyacht to capture the yachting world's attention.

So, as she sets sail for her debut summer season, Launchpad may take Koru's place as the main yacht on everyone's radar this year.

Restaurant-Yacht Chaika

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Pleasantly surprised, service is good so is the food. Great selection of Fusion food, a mixture of Italian, Japanese, European, Asian etc. A pleasantly nice dining experience, highly recommended, a must try!

Thank you for your feedback and invite you to have lunch or dinner again aboard the ship in an atmosphere of high standards of yacht hospitality.

everything was perfect - the food, the service, the desserts were the best, nice atmosphere and the location - magical

Best food, best view in Moscow. absolutely faultless from arrival to finish. Best risotto i had for many years absolutely perfectly cooked. The view on Ukrainian hotel and the white house by night is amazing

Had to wait for the food for 1.5 hours and then another 20 minutes for the check. Finally called for the manager and he offered... a 10% discount as a compensation. Simply pathetic! The food is mediocre at best. Not bad per se, but one... would expect something better considering the prices. There are many places to eat in area that are much better. Avoid this one at all costs.

Hello, Alexander Your comment is extremely important for us, thank you a lot for it. We are terribly sorry for your time that you`ve spent waiting your order and we have already taken actions to improve quality of our service and it would be realy... More

Food is very expensive,very pretentious, doesn't worth that money. Portions are very small. We ordered ravioli and there were 4! Four raviolis! For almost 15 euros. Then we asked to bring us dessert menu but nothing, they didn't even bothered, so we payed and left... without dessert. Very poor service for that price. More

This is a very good restaurant. The food is really good, maybe the best in Moscow. The service is also good. The view from the restaurant is great. The prices are very high.

I often visit this restaurant and must say it’s one of the best in Moscow in terms of quality and service. Staff really try hard to make sure that you are happy and satisfied. Customer service is a huge problem in Moscow but Chaika sets... a great example for others in the industry! Food is delicious and the menu has lots of options for everyone! Atmosphere is great and view is beautiful on the embankment. Special thanks to German & Oleg! More

Thank you for your feedback! Again aboard the yacht restaurant "Chaika" in accordance with the high standards of yacht hospitality.

Highly recommended, great location in the city center of Moscow with a superb atmosphere. Too many menu choices, though all delicious!

Thx a lot for your review! We are looking forward to see you in our restaurants.

Visited this lovely restaurant with a friend of mine. It was relaxingly warm August evening - so the place on the river seemed like a good idea. We came quite early and the restaurant was not full. The hostesses kindly offered several places to sit... and we chose to sit on the sofas. We had some wine, which was good. We struggled a bit when deciding about the food as few options (scallops) were not available. Fish on ice on display did not look very fresh. To be honest it was an unusually hot August and it is probably understandable that some see food options were not available. However, we did manage to order something and sat waiting and looking onto the river. My long-legged friend struggled sitting at the low sofa and the manager noticed that, offering as a very good, proper table beside the open window. It was nice touch and I was very pleased by their polite observations and immediate reaction to solve the problem. Food was quite good and presentation was perfect. Perhaps I can something about the food, but 1 visit is not enough to criticize or make a definitive opinion. Overall, quality place, which of course, does not come cheap. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation. More

Good afternoon! Thank you for your detailed feedback! We are looking forward to seeing you again, we are sure that you will be delighted with our dishes!

I've been here several times during two business trip in Moscow. The overall quality for both service and food is absolutely top-notch, plus the location is very unique.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We are looking forward to visiting again!

Located on a boat at Krasnopresenskaya River Bank this 5 Star Restaurant transforms into a party location due to multiple groups hosting events. Impressive wine selection, Asian and European kitchen...

Thx a lot! We are waiting for you!

It is a nice place to gather specially at the lounge The service and staff very good I like the river view The food is almost like all restaurants in Russia they serve different cuisine. Staring Russian appetizer till Asian dishes Presentation and taste amazing... I consider it overpriced little bit More

Good location. Nice views. Good choice of food and drinks. European and Asian menu. Nice service. Pricey enough.

Had a large group dinner here. Food was above average and service quite good. The real attraction is the view of Moscow from the river on a nice night. Great place for a larger group dinner. More

Hello, John We are really pleased by reading that you and your friends were satisfied by our service, client`s experience is the highest value for us. We will be happy to see you again, come and enjoy some new dishes from our chef and nice... More

The luxurious atmosphere of this place, the view and the location make it quite outstanding. We had dinner here with friends and the dishes were amazing, accompanied by a chilled bottle of Chablis, it really made me feel as if it was a part of... the classic Russian movie. More

Yeti: yacht scoring tool engages feadship, heesen and industry leaders.

Can superyachts effectively carve their carbon emissions down to net zero? Perhaps. YETI wants to ... [+] give it a go with the sustainability index.

Is YETI a hairy Himalayan, or a beloved cooler? In this case, neither. This YETI is a five-year-old with a big idea. A science-based, data-driven one, first conceived five years ago by Feadship Senior Design Specialist Bram Jongepier, now embraced by most of the industry's leaders. This YETI, Yacht Environmental Transparency Index, is designed to score and compare yachts based on how well they play with others, namely, the environment.

“Zero doesn’t exist,” Jongepier stated, acknowledging that zero impact is simply impossible. Aiming at what is, in fact, possible, Jongepier explained, “You cannot walk on grass without some degree of impact, but you can do it sustainably if you give the grass time to recover.” And that, confirms Jongepier, is how we should treat our oceans.

The group meeting in 2019 to further plans for YETI, the Yacht Environmental Transparency Index, as ... [+] a way to score and compare yachts based on environmental credentials was embraced by representatives of the yachting industry's top groups.

“Sustainability is essential,” Jan-Bart Verkuyl, Feadship Director/CEO of Royal Van Lent Shipyard. “There is pressure from our clients, there is pressure from ourselves, there is pressure from our workers, there is pressure from our children. It needs to be done,” Verkuyl states emphatically. And so, they did it.

YETI Takes Shape and Water Revolution Foundation Takes The Lead

As that original group took Jongpier's 2018 idea and put together YETI 1.0, the first index, they handed the reins to the Water Revolution Foundation for follow through. By 2020, operational yacht profiles were analyzed and defined based on an AIS study using 297 years of data from 100 yachts.

The YETI 1.0 index score is awarded based on data input, allowing future yacht designs to benefit ... [+] from the results and comparisons to be made.

By 2021, a sail correction was developed, a shore power study conducted, and upstream diesel assessed, adding important details to the index. By 2022, YETI 1.0 launched, adding an engine and generator study for the YETI database, and a fleet review was conducted for 60 yachts. Awaiting the arrival of YETI 2.0, yacht designers, builders, and buyers are embracing this tool to help make yachting more sustainable.

Samsung Releases New Feature Boost To Millions Of Galaxy Phones

Trump again targets judge s daughter in new york criminal case, apple iphone 16 pro new leak reveals updated colors coming this fall, feadship’s strategic roadmap.

Feadship, long an industry leader, has a plan for net-zero CO2 emission and minimal local pollution impact by 2030. Their 84.20-meter full diesel electric yacht Obsidian is equipped with architecture to run on HVO. Well beyond regulatory compliance, the yacht achieved the net zero CO2 target in 2023. Feadship concept Dunes expects to reduce environmental impact by 95 percent compared to current minimum compliance for yachts using methanol fuel cells.

Rendering of the Feadship yacht Obsidian, which will operate with 27% less total environmental ... [+] impact than a yacht of similar size launched only five years ago if run on fossil fuel, and 60% less when using HVO.

It's The Fuel, Stupid!

In February of 2023, Feadship posted an informative article on sustainability , essentially creating a verbal Venn diagram focused on the intersection of superyachts and the environment using the above headline. Feadship lines out that efficiency gains and emissions reduction cannot make sufficient change. Since the laws of nature cannot be cheated, further reductions must come from using different fuels.

Feadship busts the myth that are no suitable alternative fuels available, or that their yachts cannot use them. Although harder to find and more expensive, HVO offers a real drop-in alternative that immediately reduces CO2 emissions. Volvo Penta says that their diesel engines have been compatible with HVO since 2016, seeing it as a stable, high-quality fuel suitable for marine power systems that can lower fossil CO2 emissions by up to 90 percent, depending on the feedstock.

HVO vs Other Fuels

HVO is hydrotreated vegetable oil, sourced from vegetables or animals. Sometimes it is simply cooking oil, recycled and hydrotreated to address bacterial growth and stability. Made from paraffinic oil hydrocarbons, it is also called renewable diesel or green diesel.

Like diesel, HVO has similar chemical and physical properties, but with its fossil-free composition and low carbon content, it is an appealing sustainable fuel option. HVO can be blended in any proportion with diesel fuel. With regard to HVO and biodiesel, they both come from the same feedstocks, but the hydrotreatment of HVO and improved oxidation stability make it a higher quality fuel.

HVO A Short-Term Solution

As Methanol and Hydrogen technologies improve, Feadship sees HVO as an immediate but temporary solution that can significantly lower the impact of a yacht due to energy use. As methanol and hydrogen fuel cells evolve in preparation for installation and use on board superyachts, the use of HVO offers a quick and easy way to improve a yacht’s environmental profile.

While it may be harder to source and may cost a bit more, Jan-Bart Verkuyl, Feadship Director and CEO of Royal Van Lent Shipyard is adamant. "If we don't do it, we become complacent," Verkuyl concludes.

Heesen Yachts Also On Board with YETI

Erik van Mourik, Manager of Cost and Accounting at Heesen, has also been part of the original team working to get YETI up and running. Van Mourik stated that Heesen hoped to learn more about energy use while exchanging knowledge with other participants so they could understand where and how to save energy and improve their yachts.

Assigning tasks to different groups, the reports came back to provide data that would build YETI 1.o. Heesen noted that one discovery from this data found that the hotel load of a yacht is a key factor. Under power just 5-10 percent of the time, hotel loads operate continuously while the yacht is occupied, making things like air conditioning, electronics, lighting, and spa bubbles important to energy use.

Heesen is already bringing the YETI tool into its standard build process, putting it to use in comparing yachts, reducing emissions, and directing new designs for a variety of elements.

How To Score On YETI

Can YETI help yacht owners drive down their footprint? This science-based, data-driven index thinks ... [+] it can.

With the goal of stimulating technologies that reduce energy demand and enhance system efficiency, YETI’s comparison index embraces everything from flow optimization, propeller efficiency, and displacement to heat recovery, insulation, recycling, sustainable sourcing, underwater noise and more.

It is free to request a yacht score. For a reasonable fee, The Water Revolution Foundation will do a complete analysis of the results and provide owners with important ways to reduce emissions. A full description of the YETI index, its credibility, and how to obtain a score are laid out in the YETI brochure .
