KAOS Yacht – Extravagant $300M Superyacht

KAOS yacht (formerly JUBILEE and AL MENWAR) is an award-winning superyacht that was recently refitted with a completely redesigned interior.

At 110 metres (361ft) and 4,523 tons, she was the largest yacht ever built in the Netherlands at the time of her launch in 2017.

The vessel was recently spotted off the coast of southern Spain before dropping anchor in the beach town of Marbella.

Kaos yacht interior

The interior of the motor yacht was originally designed by Sam Sorgiovanni who is originally from Australia and aims to unite practicality with beauty through his unique designs.

The vessel was made completely wheelchair accessible including elevators and barrier-free access to all decks. 

The process took a year and with the help of the British designer Reymond Langton, the interior was transformed.

KAOS has room for 31 guests in 16 cabins. This includes a lavish owner’s suite which consists of two separate bedrooms.

There are also four VIP suites and ten standard suites with ensuite bathrooms. All guest cabins are located on the upper deck. 

45 staff distributed across 24 cabins find space on the lower levels of the vessel. Only the cabins for the captain and first officer are located on the bridge deck.

The KAOS yacht was designed with maximum comfort in mind. Her interior includes lavish facilities such as a spacious elevator, a steam room, a full gym, as well as an indoor beach club.

Originally she was constructed with Middle Eastern design in mind which includes features such as a large majelis, which is a dedicated seating and entertainment area meant for hosting guests.

The KAOS yacht also has a large cinema, a sauna, and full spa facilities. Below the deck, there is a separate crew gym and a small hospital in case of medical emergencies.

The interior design can be described as lavish and luxurious. White and blue carpeted floors with intricate designs compliment the exterior of the vessel and its signature aqua color.

Golden accents and cream upholstery go well with the wooden elements such as the teak flooring.

Opulent furnishing with many indirect lighting accents creates a feeling of coziness and luxury. 

Specifications

At the time of her launch in 2017, the KAOS yacht was the largest yacht ever built by the custom yacht builder Oceano as well as the largest yacht built in the Netherlands.

At a length of 110 meters (361ft), a beam of 16.4 meters (53 ft), and a maximum draft of 4.4 meters (14.5 ft), she is currently ranked as the 39th largest motor yacht in the world, together with motor yachts ANNA, RADIANT and AL RAYA who measure the same length.

She displaces 4,523 tons and is known for her unusual design, which is very sleek and minimalist.

KAOS can reach speeds of up to 19 knots with an average speed of 15 knots which is not the fastest in her weight category but still impressive for her large size.

As expected from Oceano, she was constructed primarily from aluminum and steel and has a fuel capacity of 391,000 liters as well as a 230,000-litre freshwater tank. She is powered by impressive MTU engines fuelling two propellers.

The KAOS yacht can host 31 guests in 16 cabins as well as 45 crew in 24 cabins. Her maximum range is estimated to be somewhere around 5,000 nautical miles.

The KAOS yacht is an exceptionally beautiful yacht that was built prioritizing modern and minimalist design.

Lobanov Design is responsible for her eye-catching exterior, which focuses on futuristic elements combined with optical illusions. 

Established in 2007, this design studio is known to be young, offering unique perspectives and modern approaches.

She was built with curved lines in mind incorporating elements of glass and metal in a nautical context.

Her all-around glass fronts create an optical illusion letting the yacht appear to have several more decks than she actually has. 

The so-called trompe l’oeil effect lets KAOS appear sleek and elongated, setting her apart from traditional yacht design. Her designer Lobanov describes the modeling process for KAOS.

“The 3D modeling was quite a challenging task, which pleased my mathematical part of the brain. Each of the layers meets and splits under certain rules, which can be noticed from different angles.”

Her exterior is white with light blue accents, which are contrasted by the many darkly tinted windows.

She has four decks, the largest of which is the aft which has a sizable swimming pool with a built-in aquarium and seating areas.

Several smaller decks are located on higher levels, although most of them are hidden in shaded areas. 

Close to the top of the superstructure, a small jacuzzi is situated, allowing guests to enjoy incredible views while relaxing.

At the bow, a helipad is located, including refueling facilities for small to medium-sized helicopter aircraft. Below the helipad, the mooring deck is cleverly concealed for aesthetic purposes. 

At the stern of the vessel, the KAOS yacht has an extendable swimming platform that can be closed completely when the yacht is underway.

This platform leads directly to a lounge area inside the yacht, complete with a state-of-the-art entertainment system, TV, and storage space.

On the starboard side of the aft, there is a separate platform for docking tenders and releasing water toys.

KAOS also possesses a modern underwater lighting system and state-of-the-art stabilizers for the comfort of guests when the vessel is underway or at anchor.

Toys and equipment

The KAOS yacht carries at least two tenders, one of which almost looks like a miniature version of the main vessel with the same blue and white design and tinted windows.

They were built by Pascoe International , a renowned company specializing in tenders for superyachts. 

She carries a wide array of water toys, including several jet skis, water bobs, and paddleboards.

Previous names

Originally the KAOS yacht was built in the Netherlands by Oceano under the name SECRET III. Upon her launch, she was officially named JUBILEE and then renamed AL MENWAR by the royal family of Qatar, the House of Thani.

110m superyacht Kaos arrives in London

The 110-metre superyacht Kaos has arrived on the Thames in London after a mammoth transatlantic passage from Miami. She set out on the almost 4,000 nautical mile journey in early May, stopping just once en route in the Azores and again at the mouth of Thames, opposite Southend-on-Sea.

The yacht was built by Dutch yard Oceanco and refitted by German yard Lürssen as part of a 17-month project which touched 1,500 square metres of interior space and totally reconfigured the transom and pool area. Kaos' AIS signal suggests she may be returning to Lürssen to undertake further refit or maintenance work. 

The 4501GT was delivered as Jubilee in 2017. At the time of her launch she was around the 38th largest yacht in the world, and the largest yacht of her builder, Oceanco. Now, Oceanco's flagship is 127-metre Koru , the yacht believed to have been commissioned for Jeff Bezos, while Kaos is around the 55th largest yacht in the world.

Kaos ' unique metallic blue exterior is by Barcelona-based designer Lobanov Design and centres around tricking the eye with the use of faux decks designed to give the impression of a taller vessel. The yacht's industrial-looking funnel is another focal point and favourite element of the designer, and the shape of the decks is unusual too, curving in such a way that gives the yacht the look of an island from above. 

The yacht's original interiors are by Sam Sorgiovanni . At the time of her delivery, it was estimated that the yacht had more marble and more stone installed on board than any other vessel, with inspiration drawn from Casablanca's melting pot of European and Arabic culture. Crystal Caviar insets, custom silk carpets, Iranian white onyx, Golden Spider stone were all key components of the yacht's styling.

The yacht changed hands in 2018, with a last known asking price of €275 million at the time of sale. The subsequent refit saw UK-based firm Reymond Langton take over the styling, undertaking a number of modifications to reflect the new owner's tastes.

The yacht has remained largely private since the refit. She had an 8.5-metre pool on the aft deck alongside a 14-seater dining table and a main saloon spanning 135 square metres.

Kaos is one of the largest yachts to visit London .

Meet Nancy Walton Laurie, the billionaire Walmart heiress whose $300 million yacht was spray-painted by climate activists last year

Posted: April 29, 2024 | Last updated: April 29, 2024

• Nancy Walton Laurie is the daughter of Walmart cofounder James "Bud" Walton.
• Her net worth is $9.10 billion, according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index.
• Here's what we know about the Walmart heiress.

While Sam Walton is the better-known cofounder of Walmart, he didn't start the world's largest retailer by himself.

Walton had help from his younger brother, James "Bud" Walton, who left behind his stake in the company to his two children, daughters Ann Walton Kroenke and Nancy Walton Laurie, when he died in 1995.

His younger daughter, Nancy, made headlines last year when her $300 million superyacht, Kaos, was spray-painted by climate activists proclaiming the message "You consume, others suffer."

Here's what you need to know about the billionaire Walmart heiress:

Nancy Walton Laurie, 72, is the youngest daughter of James "Bud" Walton, who cofounded Walmart with his brother, Sam Walton. The brothers opened the first Walmart in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas.

She currently lives in Henderson, Nevada, and Los Angeles, according to Bloomberg.

Sources: Bloomberg

In 1973, she graduated from the University of Memphis, known then as Memphis State, with a bachelor's degree in English.

Source: Bloomberg

She met her future husband, Bill Laurie, at the university, where he played basketball. His team made it to the 1973 NCAA finals.

Source: Memphis Daily News

The couple had a daughter, Elizabeth Paige Laurie, in 1982. Paige was accused of paying a fellow student $20,000 to do her homework for three and a half years during her time at USC and in 2005, she surrendered her degree.

Source: LA Times

When James "Bud" Walton died in 1995, Nancy inherited around half of her father's 40 million shares in Walmart, while her older sister, Ann Walton Kroenke, received the rest. Nancy owns less than a 5% stake in the company, according to Bloomberg. She is not actively involved in Walmart's operations.

Nancy is the 269th richest person in the world as of April 29, 2024, according to The Bloomberg Billionaires Index, with an estimated net worth of $9.10 billion.

Nancy's cousin, Alice Walton, is one of the world's richest women and for a brief time was named the richest woman in America.

Source: Business Insider

Collectively, members of the Walton family own an estimated stake of around 45% of Walmart.

Nancy is a patron of the arts. In 1998, she established a dance school called the Columbia Performing Arts Center in Columbia, Missouri.

Source: New York Times

She also owned a contemporary ballet company called the Cedar Lake Ensemble in New York City. She established the company in 2002. In 2004, she paid $11.37 million to build out "a 191-seat theater, a rehearsal studio and offices for her company," according to the New York Times. The company closed in 2015.

Source: New York Times ; New York Times

Nancy and her husband owned the St. Louis Blues hockey team from 1999 to 2005. Today, they have a commercial real estate portfolio, multiple homes, and two yachts, according to Forbes.

Sources: Como Mag ; Globe Newswire ; Forbes

One of Nancy's yachts, called Kaos, was the subject of news last year when climate activists spray-painted it.

Members of Spanish environmental group Futuro Vegetal last year spray-painted the yacht as it was docked at a port in Ibiza, an island off the coast of Spain.

The 361-feet long yacht is worth an estimated $300 million and includes a swimming pool, cinema, spa, and aquarium, according to Yacht Bible.

After activists spray-painted the stern of the yacht in red and black, they held up a sign that read "You consume others suffer."

A video of the event, and of workers hosing down the paint afterwards was uploaded online.

Covid caused a ‘massive spike' in yacht sales — now some of those boats are back on the market

By monica pitrelli,cnbc • published april 29, 2024 • updated on april 30, 2024 at 12:52 am.

Some pandemic-era yacht owners are headed back for dry land.

The pandemic spurred a "massive spike" in yacht sales, said Richard Allen, chief operating officer of the Hong Kong-based yachting company Simpson Marine.

"We've seen a lot of those people, that had their boats for two years, sort of now wanting to travel," he told CNBC. "In the last probably few months, talking with other people in the industry, we've seen an increase in brokerage activity of … boats being sold."

That was expected, said Paolo Casani, CEO of the Monaco-based yachting company Camper & Nicholsons.

"We sold, as an industry worldwide, more than the double the yachts [in 2021] than 2019," he told CNBC. When this happens, "they go to the market starting from a couple of years later."

Prices in the pre-owned market

Enthusiasm for yachting remains high, even if sales have fallen since 2021, said Casani.

"The industry is going back to 2019," he said. "And we have to distinguish between brokerage and new builds, because the demand for new builds is still quite high."

With more yachts hitting the brokerage market, prices are down, albeit slightly, from pandemic-era highs, he said.

"Prices are still quite high," he said. "There is still a gap between the demand and the offer ... but we do believe that there will be still a reduction in the course of 2024."

Asia yacht growth 'less than expected'

Some yachts buyers in Asia aren't selling, though, said Allen — in fact, they're trading up for larger vessels.

"Some have actually really enjoyed the boating lifestyle, and are already upgrading … to bigger boats," he said.

Asia — a continent of rising wealth and numerous island nations, many bathed in year-round warmth — has long been viewed as the next frontier for global yacht growth.

Casani and Allen, who spoke to CNBC on April 26 while attending the second annual Singapore Yachting Festival, agreed that the continent's yachting market is growing.

But, Casani said, the pace is "less than expected" for many reasons, including culture, lifestyle and lack of infrastructure.

"But we still believe that Asia has a very high potential," he said.

Allen said the disparate and onerous "rules and regulations" in the region are thwarting progress.

"We need to make it easier for boats to move around between the region," he said. "In one country you might be able to drive a certain size boat, but then another you can't. So those sort of things — the red tape, shall we say."

Complex visa requirements for foreign boat crews are problematic, as are high import taxes, which can reach 40% in some markets, he said.

"We need to do a lot of lobbying with governments to make it easier to import boats," said Allen. "There's a lot of lobbying groups like ICOMIA … that are working much more collaboratively with the different dealers to have a voice to government."

The International Council of Marine Industry Associations, or ICOMIA for short, hosted a two-day conference ahead of the Singapore Yachting Festival to address issues the industry faces, from sustainable propulsion to the lack of marina infrastructure in high-potential countries, such as Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam.   

Beyond buying and charters

Simpson Marine estimates the global marine leisure market will reach an estimated $46.5 billion in 2027 — which it says will trickle down to the local economy through job creation and tourism revenue.

"The yachting industry employs thousands and thousands of people building boats, supporting boats, all the component servicing," said Allen. "This is a ... great industry for countries to embrace."

Newer forms of ownership make yachting less expensive, which is opening the industry to more people. One model that is especially popular in Australia is fractional, or syndicated, ownership, where owners buy a share of a yacht, he said.

Others are avoiding ownership altogether, opting for flexible subscription models, which are now the norm for many forms of entertainment, from music to television.

"We've seen massive growth in boat clubs," said Allen. "It's a bit like joining a gym or a golf club. You pay a monthly membership, and you get the use of a boat so many days a week. And that's very popular for people that don't really want all the hassle of owning a yacht."

Yacht Market Sees A Shift As Pandemic-Era Buyers Sell, Prices Dip: 'The Industry Is Going Back To 2019'

The pandemic-induced surge in yacht sales is now showing signs of a reversal, with many buyers from the COVID-19 era now putting their vessels up for sale. This trend has led to a slight drop in prices, signaling a shift in the yacht market.

What Happened : The pandemic saw a significant increase in yacht sales, with many individuals seeking alternative travel options. However, as the world starts to return to normal, some of these buyers are now looking to sell their yachts and explore other travel options, CNBC reported.

Richard Allen , COO of Simpson Marine , noted a “massive spike” in yacht sales during the pandemic. However, he observed that many of these buyers are now looking to sell their vessels and explore other travel options.

Paolo Casani , CEO of Camper & Nicholsons , added that the industry saw a doubling of yacht sales in 2021 compared to 2019. However, this has led to an increase in brokerage activity, with many of these yachts now being put up for sale.

"The industry is going back to 2019," Casani said. "And we have to distinguish between brokerage and new builds, because the demand for new builds is still quite high."

"Prices are still quite high," he added. "There is still a gap between the demand and the offer … but we do believe that there will be still a reduction in the course of 2024."

Despite the drop in sales, the demand for new builds remains high, particularly in Asia, where some buyers are even upgrading to larger vessels.

Why It Matters : The surge in yacht sales during the pandemic is part of a broader trend of increased spending on luxury items . Tech billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos have been making headlines with their extravagant yacht purchases.

However, the yacht market is not just about ownership. The rise of remote work has also led to new opportunities in the industry. Virgin Voyages , owned by Richard Branson , recently introduced a month-long cruise package specifically designed for remote workers, combining work and travel in an unprecedented way.

Despite the challenges, the yachting industry remains a significant contributor to the global economy. According to Simpson Marine, the global marine leisure market is expected to reach $46.5 billion in 2027, with significant potential for job creation and tourism revenue, according to the report.
