There is no ignoring a good ship, much less a great one, and that’s exactly what happened with the gigantic motoryacht Multiverse in Palm Beach, Florida. Proving that size matters, this $275 million behemoth, formerly known as Ulysses under previous owner Graeme Hart, grabbed attention showcasing the power of its imposing stature. The 381-foot expedition yacht Multiverse, constructed by Kleven in Norway, was spotted in Palm Beach, Florida, where expensive yachts are a dime a dozen. It stood out, and no points for guessing, it was due to its humongous size. Additionally, the stunning superyacht with a black hull grabbed the spotlight with two smaller boats stored near the ship’s bow.
Billionaire Yuri Milner’s 6,862 GT ship was designed for extended voyages, and is perpetually loaded with a lot of gear. From several tenders, a helicopter pad, and a variety of water toys, the Multiverse Yacht cruises with an arsenal for enjoyment in unexplored locales around the world.
While the bow is loaded with smaller crafts and tenders to transport guests, the aft is an epitome of extravagance with spacious lounge areas, a swimming pool, and top-class amenities. Inside the yacht, guests are entertained at the wine bar, the cinema, a sauna, and the commodious gym.
The mammoth Multiverse caught the eye of one Redditor who was surprised to come across a superyacht with two smaller boats on board, even at a location like Fort Lauderdale, the “Venice of America,” that houses over 50,000 boats and yachts.
Superyachts especially love Fort Lauderdale, and no less than 2,000 superyachts go through its waterways yearly due to the ease of docking.
An image of the Multiverse Yacht at Fort Lauderdale was shared by the r/Anticonsumption Reddit community with the caption, “When your private yacht is so massive that you get to bring along the yacht’s smaller [yachts].”
It got several reactions from the followers where one stated, ‘The yearly maintenance cost on these things is astronomical and they’re really not used much.’ Another quipped, ‘I feel like an island would be a really practical alternative to something so outlandish.’ One wrote, ‘When you have so much money and you don’t know what to do with it, that’s when you buy a yacht.’
Tycoon Yuri Milner certainly has a lot of money with a net worth of $5.9 billion. Initially commissioned by billionaire Graeme Hart ($9.8 billion), the Multiverse boat was launched in 2018 by the Facebook investor and former physicist who made a fortune with investments in Twitter, Spotify, and Airbnb through his venture fund, DST Global.
