The Balearic Islands, in its entirety, are one of the favorite destinations of anonymous and famous people to enjoy the summer. Its beaches and gastronomy, added to its transparent waters, create an irresistible combination, especially for celebrities, who have been placing the archipelago on the international map for years. And although there is what is necessary on land, a good part opts for yachts to have as much privacy as possible without losing an ounce of comfort. This year adds to that particular Red carpet one of the richest and most famous men in the world, Mark Zuckerbergwhich has launched its new luxury yacht in Mallorca.
It was in May of this same year when the creator of Facebook decided to treat himself on the occasion of his 40th birthday and he bought this boat suitable only for his pocket -and very few others- valued at 300 million dollars. Since then no one had seen the yacht, which had just moored at the Club de Mar Mallorca. This is stated by the local media Mallorca Diarywhich places the megayacht Launchpad on one of the outer docks.
The truth is that Zuckerberg has a very difficult time going unnoticed with this ship, since it has 118 meters in length, is divided into several floors and a total of three decks visible from a distance. According to what has been learned, before it came into his hands the vehicle belonged to a Russian oligarch who had to get rid of it after a sanction related to the war in Ukraine.
Although there are no photographs of the interior of the ship, it is known that it has a weight of 5,000 tons and that its design was commissioned by two renowned companies, the interior to Zuretti Interior Design and the exterior to Espen Øino International. Its hull is made of steel and it is powered by four engines that reach 21 knots (about 40 kilometers per hour).
Media specialized in the sector such as Superyatch Fan They add that the yacht has capacity for 24 guests, has luxury suites, and space for a crew of 48 members. As for the common areas, the yacht has its own heliporta little cinemadirect access area to the water for bathers, jacuzzi, solarium with teak floors, jet ski station or beauty center, among other things. A large number of services that go hand in hand with its autonomy, since you can cross the ocean without having to go through a port.
With such a house on the water, it is not surprising that Mark’s summer plans include spending part of the season on the high seas with his wife, Priscilla Chan, and their three daughters, Maxima, August and Aurelia. Although everything indicates that the Mediterranean will be one of his destinations, the family could well sail any sea or ocean on the planet.
And in case you get bored of the Launchpad, it is worth remembering that Zuckerberg has another yacht called Wingman, although it is smaller, since only It is 67 meters long. This boat, in fact, usually serves as support for the new one and in it they keep those objects that make their getaways to the high seas unique, such as slides, jet skis, a submarine or the flyboardsFor example.
