With a price of around <strong>300 million US dollars<\/strong> she is a true floating palace. The yacht offers space for <strong>16 guests<\/strong> and <strong>36 crew members<\/strong> and is equipped with all the amenities you would expect from a luxury yacht in this category: a <strong>Swimming pool<\/strong> on deck, a <strong>Beach Club<\/strong> and a <strong>Cinema<\/strong> are part of the standard equipment. In addition, the \"Infinity\" has <strong>two helipads<\/strong>to enable guests to arrive and depart flexibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The \"Intrepid\" dinghy: More than just a companion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>But the real highlight is the dinghy <strong>\"Intrepid\"<\/strong>. With a value of <strong>40 million US dollars<\/strong> and space for <strong>21 other crew members<\/strong> this dinghy is more than just a companion. The \"Intrepid\" is equipped with its own <strong>Helipad<\/strong>, several <strong>Water toys<\/strong> and one <strong>Diving center<\/strong> equipped. But that's not all - the \"Intrepid\" has a fully equipped <strong>Clinic<\/strong>which makes it possible to treat medical emergencies directly on the high seas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/isla-travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Intrepid-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Supply ship of the Infinity: Intrepid Mallorca\" class=\"wp-image-25972265\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9gibraltaryachting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>On a par with Jeff Bezos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With this equipment <strong>Eric Smidt<\/strong> in the same league as Amazon founder <strong>Jeff Bezos<\/strong>. His yacht <strong>\"Koru\"<\/strong> will be accompanied by a 75 meter long dinghy named <strong>\"Abeona\"<\/strong> which is only six meters longer than the \"Intrepid\". These superyachts and their tenders set new standards in terms of luxury and equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consistency in luxury: from \"Cloud 9\" to \"Infinity\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is interesting to note that Eric Smidt already owned another impressive yacht before the \"Infinity\": the <strong>\"Cloud 9\"<\/strong>. This 88.5-meter-long mega yacht was sold in 2022 to the Australian billionaire <strong>Brett Blundy<\/strong> who visited the island in October of the same year. The \"Cloud 9\" also had its own clinic, which underlines Smidt's preference for exceptional luxury and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion: An impressive duo in front of Mallorca<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The presence of the \"Infinity\" and its impressive dinghy \"Intrepid\" off the coast of Mallorca shows once again how the island is a magnet for the super-rich and their spectacular yachts. With their luxurious furnishings and remarkable extras, Eric Smidt and his \"Infinity\" are setting new standards on the world's oceans.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The luxury yacht \"Infinity\" owned by US entrepreneur Eric Smidt can be seen off Mallorca.
