Jeff Bezos Reportedly Building 127m Oceanco Sailing Yacht Y721
\n \tThe 127m sailing yacht in-build at Oceanco and known as Y721 reportedly belongs to Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and world\u2019s richest man.
\n Amazon has until now disclaimed all rumours of superyacht ownership, including those that Bezos owned 136m Lurssen motor yacht Flying Fox.\u00a0
\nThe most recent claims came from an excerpt of Brad Stone\u2019s forthcoming book Amazon Unbound published in Bloomberg Businessweek last week.
\nStone wrote, \u2018There, outside Rotterdam, a new creation was secretly taking shape: a 127-meter-long, three-mast schooner about which practically nothing was known\u2026\u2019
\nIn accordance with client confidentiality, Oceanco declined to comment on the claims.\u00a0
\nY721, scheduled for launch later this year, could\u00a0become the world\u2019s largest sailing yacht when she hits the water.\u00a0
\n106.7m Black Pearl\u00a0is currently the world’s largest sailing yacht, while Nobiskrug\u2019s 143m Sailing Yacht A will remain the largest motor-assisted sailing yacht in the world.\u00a0
\nIn the excerpt, Stone also reported that Oceanco will be building Bezos an accompanying support yacht, complete with helipad.<\/p>\n
