@bridgetbrix Never a dull day in Miami, as another, mega yacht pulls up outside my front door. Did you know it’s easy to look up any information about a yacht? I learned this while in Portofino, and from this little search, you can tell who owns yachts & who rents them. 🙊 # #miami # #miamilife # #yacht # #yachts ♬ original sound - Bridget Brick

The boat is believed to be owned by Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie, who is one of the richest women in the world from her family's establishment of well-known retailer Walmart.

It was originally built by Dutch yard Oceano for the late Emir of Qatar, who named it Jubilee. It was refitted by German yard Lürssen as part of a 17-month project which touched 1,500 square metres of interior space.

It was the biggest yacht ever built in the Netherlands when it launched in 2017. According to Boat International Magazine , the yacht was bought by its new owners in 2018 and its interior was designed by Sam Sorgiovanni and the exterior was completed by Igor Lobanov.

Irish social media users were delighted and in awe at seeing the huge yacht. sailing around the Dun Laoghaire harbour. One person joked: "Drop the red flag and raise the Jolly Roger, and let's take her, me hearties!!!"

A second said: "Wow, absolutely massive boat. It even has a helipad on the top, very cool." A third added: "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."

A fourth person seemed doubtful that they'd spend so much money on a luxury yacht if they had the chance. "Much as it's nice and all... it cost $300m," they said.

Dun Laoghaire is bracing for a record-breaking cruise ship season , with over 90 cruise ships to visit this year bringing a total of 164,000 passengers and 71,000 crew to the area. Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has said the benefits of these cruises extend beyond the immediate tourism sector, contributing to the restoration of the 200-year-old historic Harbour.

Norwegian Cruise Lines will top the schedule with 20 visits to Dun Laoghaire this year, followed by Viking Cruise Lines who will visit 17 times.

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.

Spotlight: 360' Oceanco ''KAOS''

September 20, 2024

Oceanco 'KAOS'

KAOS, the world-renowned 360-foot superyacht crafted by the Dutch shipyard Oceanco in 2017, represents one of the most ambitious refit projects to date.

Originally named Jubilee, she underwent a major refit at Lürssen’s shipyard in 2020, resulting in one of the most complex and extensive refit projects in recent history. While her exterior design is frequently praised and discussed, the interior remains shrouded in secrecy, accessible to only a select few.

In today’s article, we let KAOS take center stage and dive into all the details that make her stand out. We’ll explore the unparalleled amenities available to her owner, Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie , and wrap up by disclosing her current market value, sales history, and maintenance costs.

The exterior of KAOS has become one of the most highly praised designs in the yachting world—and it’s easy to see why. Launched as Jubilee, she became the largest superyacht ever built in The Netherlands, her breathtaking design commanding attention from the start.

Designed by the renowned Lobanov Design, KAOS’s exterior is defined by its flowing lines and sleek silhouette, enhanced by the ‘trompe l’oeil’ effect created by her curved glass paneling. This optical illusion tricks the eye, making her appear lower and leaner than her true size. The combination of her smooth curves, metallic sheen, and glass details allows her to play with natural light, giving her a luminous, ever-changing appearance.

Her 2020 refit, led by Sam Sorgiovanni, introduced several exterior modifications, including an expanded upper aft deck and a completely redesigned transom. These changes not only added functional space but also maintained the visual coherence of the original design. A teak-effect finish was added to the foredeck, seamlessly blending new features with the yacht’s elegance.

KAOS’s outdoor spaces are nothing short of spectacular. Her extensive decks are designed for luxurious outdoor living, offering areas for al fresco dining, sunbathing, and relaxation. A standout feature is the aft pool, stretching 27 feet, which doubles as an aquarium. Below, the beach club offers guests a view into the pool’s transparent base, creating a truly immersive experience.

Initially crafted by Sam Sorgiovanni under the guidance of KAOS’s first owner, the former Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad, the superyacht’s interior was completely transformed during the 2020 refit. Under the direction of Reymond Langton Design, over 16,145 square feet of the yacht’s interior was redesigned to reflect the vision of her new owner, Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie. While much of KAOS’s interior remains a closely guarded secret, the materials used are said to be nothing short of extraordinary.

At the time of her delivery, KAOS was believed to feature more marble and stone within her interior than any other superyacht. In a nod to her previous life, Iranian white onyx was heavily featured in the original owner’s cabin. Other notable materials include intricate crystal caviar insets and bespoke silk carpets, showcasing the attention to luxury and detail.

KAOS accommodates up to 31 guests across 15 opulent cabins, including two VIP staterooms and an ultra-luxurious master suite. These spaces are impeccably designed, with bespoke furnishings and exclusive materials, all executed with the precision of a watchmaker. The recent refit also added modern technology to enhance comfort and accessibility throughout the yacht.

Among KAOS’s many amenities are a gym, beauty salon, hammam, steam room, and large beach club with an elevator connecting multiple decks. Guests can relax in the elegant club lounge or the spacious majlis, a traditional Arabic space for gatherings and entertainment. Further adding to the elegant ambiance is a cozy fireplace—perfect for unwinding after a day on the water.

Performance & Specifications

Powered by two MTU 20V 4000 M73L diesel engines, each generating 4,828 horsepower, KAOS can reach an impressive top speed of 18.5 knots, with a cruising speed of 14 to 15 knots. Her fuel capacity is equally impressive, boasting a total of 103,291 gallons, which allows for a remarkable range of 5,300 nautical miles. This endurance was showcased during her transatlantic voyage from Miami to London in May 2023, a journey spanning nearly 4,000 nautical miles with only two stops—one in the Azores and one at the Thames estuary near Southend-on-Sea.

KAOS’s performance is complemented by her stability at sea. Built to meet Lloyd’s Register standards, the yacht features at-anchor stabilizers that reduce roll and ensure guest comfort even in rough seas. Her beam spans 53.8 feet, with a gross tonnage of 4,523 GT and a draft of 14.4 feet. KAOS’s steel hull and aluminum superstructure balance durability and weight, ensuring optimal performance and fuel efficiency.

Specifications & Costs

LOA: 361’ Beam: 53′ 8” Draft: 14’ 5” Fuel Capacity: 103,291 gal Fresh Water Capacity: 60,760 gal Tonnage: 4,523 GT Standard Power: 2 x MTU 20V 4000 M73L Output per Engine: 4,828 HP  Range: 5,300 nautical miles at 14 knots

KAOS is currently owned by Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie, is not open for charter, and is off the market. Its annual operating costs are estimated to be around $30 million, reflecting the scale of luxury and maintenance required for a vessel of this size. With an estimated value of $300 million, KAOS ranks among the most expensive superyachts globally.
