Oceanco claims Seven Seas also offers “outstanding performance and seakeeping ability.” The folks at Lateral Naval Architects carried out an extensive optimization process to ensure the 4,444 GT cruiser excels in all areas, and even partnered with Oceanco to develop the propulsion system. Seven Seas is powered by twin MTU 20V 4000 M73L diesel engines that can produce 4,813 hp each and propel the vessel to 20 knots. She is also the first LY3-compliant yacht (the British government’s classification for big commercial craft), to feature a marine evacuation system, according to Oceanco. Such systems make it easy and quick for you to slide into a lifeboat should an emergency situation arise.

The original Seven Seas, now known as Man of Steel , was delivered to Spielberg in 2010. The four-time Academy Award winner, who ranks as the most commercially successful director in history with a net worth of $4 billion, spared no expense when designing his dream machine. He opted for nine generous staterooms, a spa, a gym, a pool, a beach club, a helipad, a tender garage, and a full movie theater, of course. Over the past decade, the OG Seven Seas has lived up to its moniker, sailing the coast of France during the Cannes Film Festival and the waters of Antigua and Barbuda. The high-profile 282-footer will certainly be a tough act to follow, but the new 357-footer could well steal the spotlight.

Does this 357-Foot New Yacht Belong to Steven Spielberg?

Oceanco is keeping details of the mammoth vessel’s owner under wraps.

By Irenie Forshaw

Oceanco is used to catering for the fabulously wealthy; earlier this year the Dutch shipbuilder delivered Jeff Bezos’s gleaming new ship , Koru. Now, the rumor mill is going into overdrive once again. This time, Steven Spielberg is reportedly the billionaire behind its newest yacht: Seven Seas.

Spanning 357 feet, the mammoth motoryacht isn’t as long as Koru – which scooped the title of the longest sailing yacht on the planet at 417 ft – but she does cut an impressive figure. This isn’t Spielberg’s first foray into the yachting world – the Hollywood director had his first ship (also called Seven Seas ) delivered by Oceanco back in 2010.

The original Seven Seas – whose name is inspired by Spielberg’s seven children – measured 282 feet and boasted an expansive spa , gym, beauty salon, and, of course, movie theatre. But the four-time Academy Award winner sold the ship to Canadian billionaire Barry Zekelman in 2021 for a cool $151m (the ship has since been renamed Man of Steel).

It seems Spielberg has caught the superyacht bug; the new Seven Seas is even bigger and more lavish than her predecessor. So, what do we know about the director’s latest ship? While Oceanco has remained relatively tight-lipped on the project, a few key details have emerged which we’ll dive into here.

Who is building Steven Spielberg’s new yacht?

The superyacht – previously known as project Y720 – was commissioned back in 2022 for a whopping $250m. She was built by Oceanco – the same shipyard that made Spielberg’s old boat in Alblasserdam, a town in the western Netherlands around 12 miles from Rotterdam. Omani billionaire businessman Mohammed al Barwani bought the luxury shipyard back in 2010 (he also owns Turquoise Yachts in Istanbul).

Oceanco has an impressive track record when it comes to building jaw-dropping superyachts. As well as recently unveiling Bezos’s Koru, four years ago the shipbuilder delivered Black Pearl – a striking three-mast vessel which, at 350 ft, became the largest sailing yacht in the world at the time, and garnered attention for its cutting-edge eco-credentials.

What do we know about the design?

Oceanco collaborated with Dutch firm Sinot Yacht Architecture Design to build Spielberg’s new yacht. The project was overseen by Lateral Naval Architects, with the team carrying out an “extensive optimization process” to ensure Seven Seas met the highest performance standards (she is the first LY3-compliant yacht to feature a Marine Evacuation System).

Powered by twin MTU 20V 4000 M73L diesel engines, she is able to reach top speeds of up to 20 knots and weighs in at 4,444 GT. Her sleek steel hull, teak deck, and lightweight aluminum superstructure give her a graceful silhouette; this is certainly a yacht to turn heads.

Considerably larger than Spielberg’s former yacht, Seven Seas 2.0 can host up to 14 guests across seven cabins (so there’s plenty of space for his entire family). There’s also room onboard for up to 30 crew, plus a gym, pool, spa, beach club, helipad and tender garage. Oh, and there’s a movie theatre too. Obviously.

The fourth largest project delivered by Oceanco to date, she was glimpsed for the first time in March 2022 being rolled out of the construction shed at the shipyard and was spotted in the Port of Gibraltar in early July.

How about the interiors?

It’s extremely unlikely we’ll get to see inside Spielberg’s new yacht anytime soon, but we do know the interiors onboard Seven Seas have been crafted by Beverly Hills-based designer Molly Isaksen (in a telling sign she was also brought in for the interiors onboard Man of Steel ).

While details remain sparse, Oceanco did reveal we can expect plenty of “natural materials and glass onboard, offering guests an unparalleled outward-looking experience”.

"Seven Seas": Steven Spielberg besucht Italien auf seiner Mega-Jacht

"seven seas" in italien einst hatte steven spielberg "schreckliche angst vor der globalen erwärmung" – nun besucht er italien auf seiner mega-jacht.

2018 sagte Steven Spielberg in einem Interview mit der Journalistin Rosa Gamazo : "Ich habe schreckliche Angst vor der globalen Erwärmung. Sie ist eine wissenschaftliche Realität. Es handelt sich nicht um einen politischen Trick. Sie ist ein echtes Stück realer, messbarer, quantifizierbarer Wissenschaft. Und die Menschen müssen zu der Überzeugung gelangen, dass dies eine Konfrontation mit dem Schicksal ist. Es sei denn, wir tun etwas dagegen." Das Problem: Spielberg bezieht diese Aussage offenbar nicht auf sich.

Wie die " Daily Mail " berichtet, tummelt sich die Hollywood-Größe derzeit mit seiner Frau Kate Capshaw an der Küste Italiens. Wenn er nicht in den malerischen Städtchen entlang der Küste unterwegs ist, ist er auf der "Seven Seas", seiner gigantischen 109-Meter-Jacht anzutreffen.

Hunderte Liter Diesel pro Stunde – ohne mit der Jacht zu fahren

Bei dem Schiff handelt es sich um den Nachfolger seiner gleichnamigen 86-Meter-Ex-Jacht, die Spielberg vor zwei Jahren an den kanadischen Milliardär Barry Zekelman verkauft hat. Die neue "Seven Seas", 2022 von Oceanco geliefert, soll 250 Millionen US-Dollar gekostet haben und hat ein Gesamtvolumen von 4444 Tonnen. Es gibt an Bord mehrere Pools und einen Landeplatz für Helikopter. Insgesamt finden auf der Jacht 14 Gäste in sieben großen Kabinen Platz, betreut wird das Schiff von einer 30-köpfigen Mannschaft, die in 15 Kabinen wohnt.

Bis zu 135 km/h auf dem Wasser: Zehn der schnellsten Luxus-Jachten der Welt

Angetrieben wird die "Seven Seas" von zwei MTU Dieselaggregaten mit jeweils 4830 PS. Der Hersteller gibt den Verbrauch pro Maschine mit 920 Litern Diesel pro Stunde an. Fährt man damit von Hafen zu Hafen, wird es je nach Geschwindigkeit nochmal mehr. Was einmal volltanken bedeuten kann, zeigt ein Bericht über die Mega-Jacht "Blue" , deren Tankstopp rund eine halbe Million Euro verschlingt. Auch die "Blue" arbeitet mit Dieselmotoren von MTU.

Steven Spielberg ist nicht alleine unter den "Öko-Heuchlern"

Es ist nicht das erste Mal, dass Steven Spielberg mit seiner merkwürdigen Haltung zum Thema Umweltschutz Schlagzeilen macht. Vergangenes Jahr ergab eine Auswertung der Flugdaten des Privatjets von Spielberg, dass der Flieger in nur zwei Monaten mehr als 17.000 Meilen geflogen ist und damit Kerosin um Wert von über 100.000 US-Dollar verbrannt hat.

Digitale Themen und Technik begeistern Sie?

Wie passt das zusammen mit jemandem, der zur Schuldfrage in puncto Klimawandel Sätze sagt wie "Ich denke, wir müssen alle beschuldigen, die nicht darauf achten, was eine Gefahr für seine Kinder und Enkel darstellen könnte"?

Heimliche Treffen und großer Luxus: "UAE One" soll Protz-Jacht der Emirate werden

Steven Spielberg ist nur einer von vielen Umwelt-Janusköpfen der Promi-Welt. Auch der selbsternannte Umweltaktivist Leonardo DiCaprio verbringt seine Urlaube gerne an Bord von Jachten, von denen er mit dem Helikopter zum Abendessen fliegt, wie unter anderem " Page Six " Anfang August berichtete. DiCaprio veröffentlichte in den vergangenen Jahren immer wieder Dokumentationen über den Zustand der Welt und akute Umweltprobleme, etwa "Sea of Shadows" oder "Ice on Fire". Wenn es aber um die eigene Freizeit geht, heißt es wohl nicht nur bei ihm lieber "Don't look up".

Steven Spielberg Takes Delivery On His Cinematic $250 Million Superyacht

Considering he’s only ever agreed on a handful of occasions — and solely for two major franchises ( Indiana Jones , Jurassic Park ) — it takes a lot to convince that Steven Spielberg something needs a sequel, which should give you some idea about the significance of his brand new superyacht: Seven Seas 2.0.

For context, Seven Seas was also the name of his last Oceanco-built luxury vessel. Measuring 282 feet (86 metres) long, the Hollywood power player sold the previous iteration for around $150 million to make way for its eventual successor; Seven Seas 1.0 having also since been renamed Man of Steel (perhaps fellow director Zack Snyder was in the market).

Conceptualised by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design , Seven Seas 2.0 is a considerably larger boat at 358 feet (109 metres) with a capacity for 14 guests across seven cabins as well as 30 staff across 15 cabins. Flaunting a gorgeously proportioned profile and sleek steel hull, this lightweight aluminium beauty imposes quite a presence.

Key features include the following:

• 9 x staterooms
• 1 x beach club
• 1 x helipad
• 1 x tender garage
• and of course, a full-blown movie theatre

Seven Seas is powered by twin MTU 20V 4000 M73L diesel engines, each capable of generating 4,813 horsepower and achieving speeds of 20 knots. It weighs 4,444 tons.

All in all, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a four-time Academy Award winner with a reported net worth of almost $8 billion — check out Steven Spielberg’s superyacht Seven Seas 2.0 below.

109-metre Oceanco superyacht Seven Seas delivered

Tuesday, July 4th, 2023

Written by: Marine Industry News

Dutch shipyard Oceanco has delivered its latest project, the 109-metre motoryacht Seven Seas , previously known as Y720.

The vessel launched in March 2022 from the Oceanco facilities in Alblasserdam after being constructed in Zwijndrecht.

Reports speculate the superyacht could belong to film director Steven Spielberg. In 2021, Spielberg sold an 86-metre 2010 Oceanco yacht, also called Seven Seas, to a Canadian billionaire, fuelling rumours that Y720 is a replacement.

Seven Seas is the result of Oceanco’s first collaboration between Sinot Yacht Architecture, which oversaw the exterior and interior, with naval architecture penned by Lateral Naval Architects. Molly Isaksen Interiors handled the interior design, although details of the interiors have not been revealed.

According to the yard, there is ‘exquisite use’ of natural materials and glass onboard, and the owner has played an important role in the vessel’s design.

Seven Seas is also the first LY3-compliant yacht to feature a marine evacuation system.

Seven Seas is the second delivery of 2023 for Oceanco. It handed over 127-metre Koru to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos earlier this year.

The Incredible Features Of Steven Spielberg's $160 Million Superyacht

In 2021, the Seven Seas, the luxury yacht belonging to billionaire movie director Steven Spielberg, was sold to billionaire steel magnate Barry Zekelman after being listed for almost $158 million earlier in the year (via Bloomberg ).

Spielberg first commissioned the 282-foot yacht in 2010. The superyacht was designed by Oceanco, a luxury shipbuilding company from the Netherlands. If the name sounds familiar, this company has also recently built a superyacht for Amazon founder  Jeff Bezos . The Seven Seas was custom-made for the award-winning film director and has lots of amenities and high-end features. It's a powerful ship that can hit a top speed of 20 knots and a cruising speed of 15 knots. The yacht also has two MTU engines, which provide a walloping 4,680 horsepower each, according to Robb Report .

In the past, this yacht has been sailing all over and has been seen cruising off the coast of France during the Cannes Film Festival, and in the Caribbean near the islands of Antigua and Barbuda.

It's decked out inside

The Seven Seas has four spacious decks and plenty of room for relaxing and entertaining guests. It features nine cabins that can accommodate up to 20 people, plus 28 crew members. The owner's suite for Spielberg is gorgeous and has a deck with a jacuzzi, office, and private terrace. It also has a full-beam VIP stateroom on the main deck with several other cabins on the lower deck (via Robb Report and Superyacht Times ).

Designers Nuvolari Lenard and Molly Isaksen collaborated to create the boat's lush wooden-themed interior (via Architectural Digest ). As would be expected, a yacht as opulent as the Seven Seas is jam-packed with amenities for Spielberg and his guests to enjoy. Published photos of the Seven Seas show jumbo screens in every room and a home cinema onboard. You can also find a sauna, steam room, gym, massage room, lounge areas, bars, and a swimming pool. This yacht is so large it can even accommodate a helipad. Like other superyachts, it comes with the standard garage where you can fit speedboats, water toys, and diving gear.

Now that Steven Spielberg has sold his yacht, fans just have to wait and see if another mega yacht is coming in the future.

Another day, another dip for Michelle Obama as she soaks up the Mediterranean sun on Steven Spielberg 's new yacht with Tom Hanks , 67, and his wife Rita, 66.

The former first lady, 59, is playing gooseberry among the power couples of Hollywood as husband Barack remains home in California while she gets on with the serious business of relaxing.

The acclaimed movie director picked up the $250 million superyacht this summer from a Dutch outfitter and has been putting it through its paces off the Italian coast with his wife Kate Capshaw.

At 357 feet the boat named the Seven Seas features two swimming pools, a movie theater, and a helicopter landing pad, and has weighed anchor at spots including Cannes, Antibes, Nice, and Portofino so far.

Hanks has appeared in Spielberg movies dating back to 1998's Saving Private Ryan and the two old pals have looked extremely at ease with each other as they enjoy the good life on deck.

Michelle has certainly enjoyed a lavish few weeks, visiting a slew of stunning places across Europe.

She was seen in Madrid, Spain, earlier this month, and the Spanish island of Mallorca days before that.

Before that, she went to New York City to watch the US Open with her husband, Barack Obama.

And in July, the couple, along with their daughters, visited Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts - where Barack was spotted playing golf and Michelle hit the tennis courts.

A few weeks prior to that, photographers caught them grabbing lunch on the stunning Greek island Sifnos with Tom, Rita, Malia, and Sasha.

In May, they headed to California to cheer on their youngest daughter, Sasha Obama, walk at her graduation from the University of Southern California.

That same month, Michelle and Barack vacationed in Barcelona, Spain - where they hiked to the Montserrat monastery with Steven and went to a Bruce Springsteen concert.

Barack meanwhile has been seen in Portland, Oregon on a visit to the Nike campus .

Obama was seen joking about wanting 'free swag' and delivered a short speech about the company's pursuit of excellence in a video posted on social media by a Nike employee.

'So, who's in charge of my swag?' the former president was heard asking. 'I mean you know why I'm here - for the latest stuff so I can impress my daughters.'

Obama also appeared at the Mia Hamm building, where top Nike executives are housed, and was given a brief tour at the LeBron James Innovation Center, where new products are developed.

Later he was seen surrounded by security guards after enjoying a meal at Funke on South Santa Monica Boulevard.

But he was silent when asked by reporters about rumors that his wife was considering a run at the presidency herself.

It comes after prominent Texas politician and former Republican candidate Ted Cruz speculated that Michelle could replace Joe Biden before the 2024 election.

The Texas Senator said Democrats may be looking to avoid nominating 80-year-old Biden over concerns about his advanced age.

When being a billionaire film director gets all a bit much it is time for a lie down

But Spielberg always finds time to talk to his wife Kate Capshaw

'Here's the scenario that I think is perhaps most likely, and most dangerous,' he said on his 'Verdict with Ted Cruz' podcast. 

'In August of 2024 the Democrat kingmakers jettison Joe Biden and parachute in Michelle Obama.'

'I view this as a very serious danger,' he added. 

But for now Michelle seems content to put political ambitions aside as she enjoys snorkeling and swimming with her Hollywood chums.

The World’s Most Expensive Yacht Charter: Steven Spielberg’s The Seven Seas

• Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest Youtube

After taking delivery of his amazing $200 million megayacht, the 282-foot Seven Seas, you’d think that director Steven Spielberg would want to keep it to himself.

Now it seems as though the famed director wants to recoup some of his impressive investment – he’s offering the ultra-luxurious yacht for charter at $1.3 million per week. That makes it the world’s most expensive yacht charter, leaving the likes of P. Diddy and Simon Cowell’s crafts in the dust.

The 282-ft. vessel, custom built by Dutch shipyard Oceanco, features an elegant and tasteful interior design scheme by Nuvolari & Lenard. The Seven Seas is equipped for the most demanding Hollywood mogul. It’s most striking feature is an infinity pool with a 15-foot glass wall that doubles as a movie screen so Spielberg and guests can watch his latest production while swimming or lounging poolside.

Celebrity guests on the megayacht have included Leonardo DiCaprio and Blake Lively, who were pictured on board when the yacht was in the French Riviera.

It also boasts accommodation and extensive amenities for 12 guests along with a crew of 26, including a private owner’s deck with a large separate master stateroom featuring a study and private deck area with a Jacuzzi and VIP cabins for his movie star pals. Other luxury touches include a fully equipped gymnasium, a spa and massage room and another indoor cinema – all fitted out with tons of walnut, teak and rosewood.

Photos show Obama relaxing with her friends aboard a smaller boat. She wore a cream colored one piece bathing suit, and paired the look with some sunglasses. Wilson was seen with a black bathing suit, while Hanks wore a white shirt. Spielberg is also visible in the image, wearing a blue shirt, with a white hat. Also in the photo is Kate Capshaw, Spielberg’s wife, who was also wearing a black bathing suit.

Another photo showed Obama and Wilson laughing in the water, as the two wore the appropriate snorkeling tools to have a look at some of the fish and corals that were located close to them.

Spielberg’s yacht is named the Seven Seas, and was purchased this summer. According to the Daily Mail , the luxurious boat is valued at $250 million and has two pools, a movie theater and a helicopter landing pad.

Michelle’s European summer

Michelle Obama has enjoyed her summer to the fullest. Over the past few months, she’s been photographed in various locations, including Majorca and Madrid, where she spent some days alongside her friends. Before that, she was spotted in New York with her husband Barack Obama , where the two attended the US Open and had a chat with Coco Gauff .

“I haven’t soaked it in because I literally just walked in here. I think I’m going to never forget that moment for the rest of my life. I went from being really upset after a win to, like, being really happy. So I’m glad I got to meet them. They gave me some good advice too,” said Gauff following the encounter.

Why Portofino by Yacht?

You will find the village of Portofino nestled in a snug harbour on a rocky outcropping along the Ligurian coast. One of the most desired yachting spots in the Mediterranean, its pink and ochre-colored buildings and cobblestone streets are framed by hills covered with pine and olive trees, all centered around a picturesque marina where fishing boats and super yachts share the space. The view from the harbour is unforgettable.

Surprisingly little has changed since the 1950’s and 60’s, when it became the place to go for celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and even Winston Churchill. Today it’s still an essential stop for billionaires with mega-yachts like Paul Allen and Steven Spielberg. Portofino and its alluring surroundings have been protected areas since 1935, and the flora, birds, underwater life and architecture have remained largely undisturbed.

Portofino’s prime attraction is the atmosphere, a timeless mix of old-style charm and “la dolce vita” of the rich and famous. It’s not the place for running around to catch all the touristic sights, but rather, to relax, take it slow and drink in in the stunning views. The deck of a yacht is the perfect setting for a visit to Portofino, where a person can experience Mediterranean magic with the sounds and smells of the sea nearby, and apart from the hustle and bustle of the day tourists on shore.

When you feel like it, walk around the tiny village; drop in at any of the boutique shops, which feature both international luxury fashion brands as well as local chic and artistic creations.                                

Dining in Portofino goes by Italian time, so breakfast is whenever you wake up, lunch happens around 2-4 pm, and dinner will start after 8. If you go onshore, there are a number of restaurants to choose from, serving excellent fish and pesto dishes. Or stop at a wine bar to sample some of the regional varieties, which may not be available outside of Italy. Some places also feature locally produced Limoncello. Your visit is not complete without stopping for a taste of the famous Italian gelato, served from shops on the harbour.

Portofino features a few historical sites which combine classical architecture with pristine natural surroundings and fantastic views. Early morning or late afternoon are good times to follow the winding path that leads through patches of flowers past the Church of St. Giorgio and up to the 16 th century fort Castello Brown on the hilltop, with its breathtaking panorama of the town, harbour and Mediterranean Sea. Not to be missed, the Museo del Parco is a unique terraced outdoor sculpture garden overlooking the marina. There is also the La Cervara Abbey with its wisteria courtyard, located on a cliff between Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure, and dating back to the 14 th century.

Last but not least, pilot your yacht over to the protected waters of San Fruttuoso Bay and don scuba gear to see the mystical Christ of the Abyss statue, which lies about 56 feet underwater. There are a number of underwater shipwrecks in the area too. If you’re not a scuba diver, you will still enjoy the famous red coral and abundant fish and sea life in the rocky coves along the spectacular coastline, or just taking in the sun on deck while anchored off the Italian Riviera beaches.

Your Italian Riviera Holiday – by Superyacht!

There are many reasons why the ultimate setting for visiting Portofino is aboard a yacht. Whether you obtain a berth in the harbour (reserve space way in advance) or anchor in a cove near the town, from the deck you can experience the serenity and beauty of the area as it was back in the original resort days of the 50’s and 60’s, apart from the hustle and bustle of day tourists and modern life.   Have the option to dine locally onshore, or with elegance and perfect sunset views on deck. Disembark and hike some of the area’s 80 miles of nature trails, or anchor in any of the picturesque coves and spend your days in the sunshine and water.

The scenery from your offshore setting is simply extraordinary, and you could spend hours just taking in the views.

If you want to experience the ultra-glamorous megayacht scene, there are few better ways to do it than to drop anchor in or around Portofino. And Monaco is only 4 hours away on a fast yacht.
