A super yacht owned by one of the world’s richest women has been spotted moored in Dublin.
The enormous cruiser, which is worth an eye-watering €300million, was docked near Dun Laoghaire Harbour on Tuesday.
The 300 million Kaos, formerly known as the Jubilee, is 110-metres long, weighs 4,523 tonnes and boasts four decks, 16 cabins and has space for 30 guests and 45 crew. According to Superyacht Times, the yacht’s Lobanov–designed exterior features a combination of curved lines and glass panels to create an illusion of extra decks and a “trompe l’oeil effect” which makes the boat appear long and lean.
Images of the opulent interiors have been doing the rounds on social media, showcasing an on-deck swimming pool, an elegant dining area and helipad. The luxurious vessel also features a cinema, an indoor beach club, a gym, a steam room, a sauna and even has its own spa.
It also includes large dining/lounge areas and the cabins feature silk carpet, and the lavish bathrooms consist of solid marble. The lounge area has gold ceilings, with dark wood features and marble bathrooms.
Multiple decks allow plenty of room for sunbathing on the white plush couches and chairs. The top deck even has a jacuzzi for those onboard to relax in.
The boat also reportedly features an aquarium. It belongs to Walmart heiress billionaire Nancy Walton Laurie and was the largest yacht ever built in the Netherlands upon its launch back in 2017.
According to Boat International Magazine, the yacht was bought by its new owners in 2018. Laurie is the youngest daughter of Bud Walton, whose brother Sam began what would become the world’s largest retail store.
The first-ever Walmart store opened in July 1962 in Arkansas, and the heirs own around 50 percent of the stock collectively.
‘ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE’
The 110-metre superyacht sailed up the Thames in London after a mammoth transatlantic passage from Miami before making its way to Irish shores. The yacht arrived off Dun Laoghaire Harbour on a flat calm morning and is anchored offshore in one of Dublin Port’s ship anchorages.
A tender has been coming and going from Kaos this morning. And people on Twitter couldn’t get over the “massive boat” docking up on the coast of Dublin.
One person said: “Wow, absolutely massive boat. It even has a helipad on the top, very cool.”
Another joked: “I wonder who will be the first person to try to get up close to it with a drone only to find out that someone with that much money has for sure invested in countermeasures.”
Over 90 ships are expected to visit Dun Laoghaire this year as some of the wealthiest people in the world take a pitstop on Irish water. The Kaos’ visit arrives just weeks after social entrepreneurs James Berwind moored his €80 million Scout in the Liffey before visiting Kinsale.
