A discreet billionaire just bought the aptly named 'So Secret' superyacht. The stunning 242-foot-long vessel features three swimming pools, a helipad, a waterfall, and is a masterclass in minimalism.

Superyachts are often described as floating palaces, mansions on water, or high-seas hotels. Yet, in the case of the motoryacht New Secret, the first thing that comes to mind—beyond all the aforementioned descriptions—is a palatial art gallery. This glorious Amels luxury vessel, measuring 242 feet, boasts a fantastic exterior by Tim Heywood and a rich interior credited partly to the owner, as much of it is designed around their private modern art collection.

Elsewhere, the magic of Winch Design creates an inviting and harmonious atmosphere. New Secret has made headlines after being sold to a new billionaire owner for a cool $106 million. This admittedly high price for a pre-owned pleasure craft underscores its pristine condition, as it was never available for charter. Let’s take a closer look at the beauty that lies beneath.
