Anyone on the coast of Mallorca has likely spotted a superyacht or two in the past few days – the sea is teeming with the luxury vessels of wealthy visitors travelling in style. It’s been a particularly big weekend for superyachts on Mallorca, with eye-catching vessels that make your wallet hurt just by looking at them.
Just at the beginning of this month, iconic Hollywood director Steven Spielberg’s superyacht, Seven Seas, was seen off the coast of Puerto Portals. The 109-metre luxury vessel, which was an upgrade from his previous yacht, also called Seven Seas, is valued at US $250 million. It features two swimming pools, a gym, a hot tub, a sauna, an enormous living area, and, of course, a cinema. What better place to watch Jaws?
We know far less details about the Katara, another luxury yacht that was spotted cruising in Mallorca. Owned by Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the former Emir of Qatar, and supposedly named for the country, the vessel is reportedly the 14th largest in the world and is valued at nearly US $500 million. At 124.4 metres in length, it easily dwarfs most ships on the port, and allegedly features a salon, multiple pools, and a beach club. However, we may never know too much about the gorgeous seacraft – the former Emir likes his privacy.
American billionaire Eddie Lampert also pulled up to the party with Fountainhead, an 88-metre long megayacht valued at US $175 million; smaller than the aforementioned yachts, but no less impressive. With seven luxurious cabins, she is a seafarer’s sweet dream.
