Designed by the renowned Espen Øino International for the exterior and the esteemed Alberto Pinto for the interior, this 2008 yacht is a magnificent addition to his illustrious collection, which also features the 300-foot Tranquility. While it remains a mystery whether the billionaire was aboard the Rocinante, it wouldn’t be surprising if he seized the opportunity to take her for a spin before acquiring his latest marvel.
