• 这艘价值6.45亿美元、长390英尺(约合118.9米)的“突破号”超级游艇——虽长期与亿万富翁比尔·盖茨(Bill Gates)关联,但据称他从未使用过——正挂牌出售。它是全球首艘氢燃料电池超级游艇,并配备豪华设施。

如果你想体验微软(Microsoft)联合创始人比尔·盖茨式奢华巡航,此刻或许正是绝佳契机。

这艘价值6.45亿美元、长390英尺(约合118.9米)的“突破号”超级游艇长期与这位亿万富翁兼慈善家关联,如今由游艇经纪公司Edmiston挂牌出售。

Edmiston首席执行官杰米·埃德米斯顿(Jamie Edmiston)在声明中表示,这是“有史以来最非凡的游艇,更是足以颠覆行业格局的标杆之作”。

盖茨和埃德米斯顿均未回应《财富》杂志的置评请求,但据多家商业及行业媒体广泛报道,该超级游艇是盖茨于数年前委托建造的。

荷兰船厂斐帝星(Feadship)耗时五年打造“突破号”(又称“项目821”),其规模可容纳43名船员和30名宾客,设有15间舱室。《福布斯》澳大利亚版于2024年5月报道,该游艇还配备了医院、图书馆、电梯、电影院、泳池、温泉浴缸、蒸汽房、健身房、独立主甲板(含两间卧室、两间浴室、两间办公室)以及14个可伸缩阳台。

在线游艇交易平台Yachtlify首席执行官布拉德·哈尔(Brad Hall)对《财富》杂志表示:“‘突破号’之所以意义重大,是因为它是毫无争议的现代工程奇迹。”

这是因为“突破号”是全球首艘氢燃料电池超级游艇,而这正是其价格高得令人咋舌的缘由所在,游艇平台YachtWay首席执行官海戈·帕尔特鲁(Heigo Paartalu)向《财富》杂志解释道。

“‘突破号’实至名归,堪称创新领域当之无愧的重大突破与里程碑。”帕尔特鲁说道,他领导的平台堪比游艇界的Zillow。“它是全球唯一一艘氢动力私人游艇,建造这样的游艇需要极高的精度标准,因为任何氢泄漏都可能造成灾难性后果。”

帕尔特鲁解释道,全球具备建造此类游艇能力的船厂屈指可数,而斐帝星能成功打造“突破号”并不令人意外,因为它被公认为全球最顶尖的船厂之一。

帕尔特鲁表示,大多数游艇主人都优先考虑最大化内部空间,而“突破号”的设计却主要聚焦于气候因素,其发动机舱所占空间远超传统游艇推进系统。

“这是一个极具魄力、毫不妥协的选择。”帕尔特鲁补充道。盖茨还深度参与了Breakthrough Energy等清洁能源项目,该项目致力于支持开发减少温室气体排放技术的初创企业。

帕尔特鲁称,由于超级游艇制造商的生产计划排期极为紧张,任何有意购买“突破号”的人都应做好支付溢价的准备,而非苦等四到五年以获得新游艇。

“在这个层面上,时间是无价的。”他表示,“许多买家更倾向于即时拥有,而不是等待多年。”

关于“突破”号的出售,另一个有趣的点在于,据报道盖茨从未登上过这艘游艇,尽管它现已挂牌出售,并将于九月在摩纳哥游艇展上展出。

帕尔特鲁表示,每艘超级游艇都是独一无二的,而就“突破号”而言,新主人买到的远不止一艘船。

他表示:“您购买的是前瞻性技术和创新标杆,再加上其无可比拟的出身,鲜少有游艇能与之媲美。说实话,又有多少人能宣称自己买下了比尔·盖茨的游艇呢?”(*)

• The $645 million, 390-foot “Breakthrough” superyacht—widely linked to billionaire Bill Gates but reportedly never used by him—is up for sale. It’s the world’s first hydrogen fuel-cell superyacht and boasts luxurious amenities.

If you’re looking to cruise in style à la Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, now might be your chance.

The $645 million, 390-foot “Breakthrough” superyacht that’s long been linked to the billionaire and philanthropist is up for sale by yacht broker Edmiston.

Jamie Edmiston, CEO of his namesake company, said in a statement it’s “the most extraordinary yacht ever built [and] the one that will change it all.”

Neither Gates nor Edmiston responded to requests for comment from Fortune, but it’s been widely reported across business and industry-specific publications the superyacht was commissioned by Gates just a few years ago.

Dutch shipyard Feadship spent five years building “Breakthrough,” also known as “Project 821,” and it’s large enough to accommodate 43 crew members and 30 guests across 15 cabins. Forbes Australia reported in May 2024 the yacht also features a hospital, library, elevator, movie theatre, pool, hot tubs, steam room, gym, separate owners’ deck with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two offices, and 14 slide-out balconies.

“The big deal about Breakthrough is that it’s a modern engineering marvel, period,” Brad Hall, CEO of online yacht marketplace Yachtlify, told Fortune.

That’s because the “Breakthrough” is the world’s first hydrogen fuel-cell superyacht. And that’s what makes the superyacht particularly expensive, Heigo Paartalu, CEO of YachtWay, told Fortune.

“Breakthrough—true to its name—is a genuine breakthrough and milestone in innovation,” said Paartalu, who heads up what can be compared to the Zillow for yachts. “It’s the only privately owned vessel powered by hydrogen, and building one demands extreme precision, as any hydrogen leak could be catastrophic.”

There are very few shipyards in the world capable of building a vessel like this, Paartalu explained, and he said “it’s no surprise” Feadship pulled it off, as it’s widely considered one of the best shipyards globally.

While most yacht owners prioritize maximum interior space, “Breakthrough” was primarily designed with the climate in mind, Paartalu said. Its engine room takes up significantly more space than traditional yacht propulsion systems.

“It’s a pretty bold, uncompromising choice,” Paartalu added. Gates is also heavily involved in clean energy projects like Breakthrough Energy, which supports early-stage companies developing technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

And because superyacht builders are backed up with production schedules, anyone looking to buy the “Breakthrough” should be expected to pay a premium, Paartalu said, rather than waiting four-to-five years for a new build.

“Time is priceless at this level,” he said. “Many buyers prefer immediate gratification over a multi-year wait.”

What’s also interesting about the sale of “Breakthrough” is Gates reportedly never even stepped foot on the yacht, even though it’s up for sale and will be shown at the Monaco Yacht Show in September.

While every superyacht is unique, Paartalu said, in this case, the new owner will be buying more than a boat.

“You’re buying future-forward technology and a benchmark in innovation,” he said. “Add to that a pedigree few can match. And let’s be honest: How often can someone say, ‘I bought Bill Gates’ yacht?’”
