The words “largest superyacht in the United States” mean little until you see the vessel next to a person. Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s mammoth yacht truly earns the title, but watching it sail in all its glory, dwarfing its crew, is something else entirely. A recent Instagram video highlights the beauty of this Lürssen goliath; what really turns heads is the toy-sized guest on deck, a mere speck against the gleaming superstructure.
The $450 million, 466-foot luxury vessel, longer than five blue whales lined up, boasts exterior lines by Germán Frers and interiors by Nauta Design. At 9,408 GT, Dragonfly ranks among the world’s largest yachts and accommodates 24 guests in 12 lavish staterooms. Amenities include two helipads, multiple pools, a fold-down-transom beach club, spa, gym, and cinema.
Currently cruising the Mediterranean, the yacht makes not only its guests but even nearby boats look miniature.
Brin truly lucked out with this floating palace, a fitting testament to his rags-to-riches journey. The 51-year-old billionaire, worth about $142 billion, acquired Dragonfly from sanctioned Russian tycoon Leonid Mikhelson, sidestepping the years-long wait typical of such projects. In doing so, he arguably one-upped Mark Zuckerberg, scoring a yacht even grander than Feadship’s $300 million Launchpad yacht.
