It's Mark Zuckerberg's turn to have a hot yacht summer

• Mark Zuckerberg's new yacht, Launchpad, is enjoying its summer debut.
• The megayacht recently stopped in Mallorca and has since ventured further into the Mediterranean.
• It looks like Zuckerberg may dethrone Jeff Bezos as king of this year's superyacht season .

Move over, Jeff Bezos . Mark Zuckerberg is looking like this summer's Poseiden.

While the Amazon founder made waves last year with the debut of his megayacht Koru, Zuckerberg is the name on the yacht world's lips this season.

Rumors began surfacing in March that the Meta CEO had purchased Launchpad — a Dutch-built, 118-meter motor yacht originally built for a Russian oligarch.

By May, the transaction seemed all but confirmed when both the yacht and Zuckerberg made their way to Panama to celebrate his 40th birthday with a fete that included a few spins on his infamous hydrofoil .

Now that summer is here, Zuckerberg has debuted Launchpad — and her support superyacht Wingman — on the biggest stage in the yachting world: the Mediterranean.

Related stories

Zuckerberg this month treated his family to a trip aboard Launchpad off the coast of Mallorca. The family, sporting matching t-shirts, celebrated Father's Day and Zuckerberg's dad's 70th birthday, he wrote in a caption posted to Instagram. Local news outlets spotted Zuckerberg, his wife Priscilla Chan, and their three daughters on the Spanish island and aboard the yacht, which was outfitted with water slides and other toys.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mark Zuckerberg (@zuck)

From there, the yacht sailed to the Ligurian Sea, the spit of the Mediterranean between the Italian Riviera and Corsica.

It's likely the yacht will continue to crisscross the Mediterranean this summer. If Zuckerberg continues to post photos of his travels, we may glean more details about how he has customized the ship to his liking.

For now little is known beyond the fact that she is built by Feadship, the shipyard behind Larry Ellison's Musashi . Photos from SuperYacht Times show Launchpad features a large swimming pool and helipad. The final purchase price is not public, but a new yacht of that size would likely cost nine figures upfront and millions of dollars a year to maintain.

Perhaps, like Bezos did last year, Zuckerberg will entertain some of the most famous names in entertainment or business. ( Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, had an engagement party last year aboard Koru that counted Bill Gates and Leonardo DiCaprio as guests. On Friday, Bezos and Sanchez were spotted riding wave runners in the Aegean Sea alongside Kim Kardashian near the 127-meter yacht). Alternatively, Zuckerberg might prefer the privacy that is paramount to many in the superyacht world.

Whether Zuckerberg shows up as a bon vivant or doting family man this summer, Launchpad fits well into one of the most successful CEO rebrands in recent years, in which Zuckerberg went from being perceived as a robotic, mistrusted tech nerd to a kind-of-relatable, fun, fit tech bro.

Now he's got one of the largest yachts in the world to add to his cool factor (even though, regrettably for Zuckerberg, it is a mortifying nine meters shorter than Koru).

Stricken Ultrabulk ship runs aground on inhospitable African coast and capsizes

Salvors say the prognosis for the multipurpose vessel does not look good

An Ultrabulk-controlled multipurpose general cargo ship has been wrecked on the inhospitable west coast of South Africa.

The 13,800-dwt Ultra Galaxy (built 2008) has grounded on the shoreline north of the fishing village of Strandfontein, the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) said late on Wednesday.

Photos provided by the maritime regulator showed it to have capsized onto its starboard side.

Cargo ship feared sunk off Cape west coast as storms lash province

Eighteen crew rescued but fate of ship unclear as sa maritime safety authority raises concern about pollution.

Concern is mounting about the fate of an abandoned cargo ship last seen adrift about 60NM from Doringbaai on the Cape west coast.

The 18-member Filipino crew of the 124m MV Ultra Galaxy abandoned the listing vessel on Monday in rough sea conditions. The South African Maritime Safety Authority (Samsa) was trying to locate the ship on Tuesday.

“By last night [Monday] we dispatched two tugs to check what is happening and whether it had sunk,” said Samsa spokesperson Tebogo Ramatjie.

The tugs were scheduled to arrive at the ship’s last known location at about 2pm on Tuesday.

“There is a huge risk of pollution because we don’t known what type of cargo she is carrying as she is a general cargo vessel,” said Ramatjie.

The last known location of the vessel is shown on the map in red.

The Filipino crew were discovered floating in a life raft after issuing an alert on Monday night. Two nearby cargo vessels and a fishing vessel responded to their plight. The crew were taken aboard the fishing vessel FV Malachite to St Helena Bay.

The National Sea Rescue Institute said it had been alerted to the incident and was standing by to assist. The Panama-registered MV Ultra Galaxy has a gross tonnage of 10,021.

Meanwhile, a second cold front battered the province on Tuesday, forcing authorities to close flooded roads. 

The Gift of the Givers has distributed 40,000 meals, 5,000 blankets and other humanitarian relief items over the past three days to communities affected by the weather. Project manager Ali Sablay told TimesLIVE on Tuesday they anticipated needing to assist 20,220 people.

“We had to pull additional resources and supplies from our warehouses in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal as our suppliers in the Western Cape could not cope with demand,” said Sablay. “On Friday extensive gale force winds [and rain] flooded nearly 8,000 structures in ward 99, Khayelitsha, leaving about 4,000 people displaced.

“Our teams were immediately on the ground to render humanitarian assistance but the main concern was where to accommodate people as the weather was coming through, so some had to be evacuated to community halls.”

Sablay said after the first cold front surged on Sunday they received calls from across the province for help.

“Many informal settlements reached out to Gift of the Givers, pleading for assistance.”

At least 15,000 people had been affected, according to an assessment on Monday.

Cape Town disaster risk management spokesperson Sonica Lategan said reports of flooding had been received from Khayelitsha, Joe Slovo Park in Milnerton, Sir Lowry’s Pass Village, Nomzamo in Strand, Mfuleni, Driftsands, Masiphumelele, Dunoon and Gugulethu.

“Assessments by the city’s informal settlements management department, assisted by the disaster risk management centre, are ongoing and the number of affected residents is being determined,” said Lategan.

“Assistance rendered to date has included soft relief by the city’s NGO partners, milling material and relocations where it has been feasible to do so.”

“We have more than 70 neighbourhoods in the city reporting badly flooded roads and waterlogged houses, with more than 7,000 structures affected, mainly in informal settlements,” said mayor Geordin-Hill Lewis.

“The rain is still heavy, we have two rivers that have burst their banks — the Eerste and Liesbeek — and we expect in the coming hours several [other] rivers and canals will also burst their banks. We are far from [the end of] this storm."

Gift of the Givers received calls for help from as far afield as Drakenstein, Cederberg, Witzenberg, Mbekweni, Citrusdal and Theewaterskloof.

At least 89 people dead as boat capsizes off Mauritania

Dozens missing after fishing vessel left from border of Senegal and Gambia with 170 believed to have been on board.

At least 89 migrants and refugees bound for Europe have died, with dozens still missing, when their boat capsized off the coast of Mauritania, according to state media.

The fishing boat capsized on Monday about 4km (2.4 miles) from the West African country’s southwestern coastal city of Ndiago. The Mauritanian coastguard recovered 89 bodies and rescued nine people, including a five-year-old girl, said the state news agency on Thursday.

At least 11 people dead after two shipwrecks in the mediterranean sea, ‘you have to do it’: refugees in tunisia undeterred by lampedusa shipwreck, some 300 children drowned trying to reach europe so far this year, survivors: ‘greek coastguard was next to us when boat capsized’.

Survivors quoted by state media said the boat had departed from the border of Senegal and Gambia with 170 people on board, which would mean 72 are now missing. A senior government official confirmed the information to the AFP news agency.

The boat capsized due to strong winds and high waves on the dangerous Atlantic route , known for its strong currents. Migrants travel in overloaded, often unseaworthy, boats without enough drinking water.

Earlier this year, the European Union promised Mauritania, a former French colony, financial support worth 210m euros ($229m) to tackle migration and provide humanitarian aid for migrants.

The agreement came amid a steep increase in the number of migrants setting off from the country towards Spain’s Canary Islands, located about 100km (62 miles) off the northwest coast of Africa.

More than 5,000 people died while trying to reach Spain by sea in the first five months of this year, or the equivalent of 33 deaths per day, according to Caminando Fronteras, a Spanish charity. The vast majority were on the Atlantic route.

Deadly land routes

Increasing numbers opt to travel by land, with deaths of people crossing perilous routes in the Sahara presumed to be double those occurring at sea, according to a new report from the United Nations refugee and migration agencies and the Mixed Migration Centre research group.

“Refugees and migrants are increasingly traversing areas where insurgent groups, militias and other criminal actors operate, and where human trafficking, kidnapping for ransom, forced labour and sexual exploitation are rife,” said the report, released on Friday.

The report, researched over three years, said that conflict and instability in countries including Mali, Burkina Faso and Sudan are driving a rise in the number of journeys towards the Mediterranean.

In total, 1,180 people are known to have died while crossing the Sahara desert between January 2020 to May 2024, but the toll is believed to be much higher, said the report, which drew on testimonies from more than 31,000 people.

This year alone, more than 72,000 people have taken land routes to the Mediterranean, with 785 dying or going missing during that period, according to figures from the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).

Libya has emerged as a primary transit point for people fleeing war and poverty. In March, authorities discovered a mass grave  containing at least 65 bodies in the country’s western deserts.

Algeria, Libya and Ethiopia were considered by respondents as the most dangerous transit countries.

The report tallied hundreds of cases of organ removals, some migrants having agreed to them as a way to earn money.

“But most of the time, people are drugged and the organ is removed without their consent: They wake up, and a kidney is missing,” said UNHCR special envoy Vincent Cochetel.

Guide to East Africa

A land of stupendous sights and unique encounters

Magical East Africa is a feast for all the senses. In this captivating corner of the planet, magnificent landscapes, extraordinary wildlife and enchanting cultures collide to create a travel experience unlike any other. Come here to track the big five and conquer imposing peaks before indulging in dashing coastal delights as part of a luxury yacht charter.

There is no doubt East Africa is the ultimate safari destination. Zebras, wildebeest and gazelles stampede across scorched savannahs, gorillas forage in the montane forests of Rwanda, hippos bask in Saadani National Park’s mangrove swamps, elusive tree-climbing lions prowl Lake Manyara and elephant herds roam across the iconic safari circuit of northern Tanzania.

The list of creatures to inhabit these lands does not end here. Other big-hitters include leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and wild dogs. As such, the region abounds with wildlife-spotting opportunities. To take in the fascinating animals is also to immerse yourself in the region’s untamed and utterly spell-binding landscapes. Among the must-sees are the Masai Mara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater while mountains such as Kilimanjaro, Meru and the Rwenzori are impossible to miss.

There is much more to East Africa than its wonderful wildlife, however. Somehow the East Indian Ocean coastline has remained under the radar despite its dazzling beauty. Hammock-strewn, white sand beaches lapped by electric blue waters fulfil the definition of paradise for many while, off-shore, a wealth of rainbow-hued coral and tropical fish make the region a top diving spot. Exotic islands are also strewn across the sea, from the day-dreamy Zanzibar archipelago to eco-friendly escapes majoring in barefoot luxury to protected, untouched gems.  

The coastline also has the intoxicating power to transport you back in time to the days when this part of the world was at the centre of a widespread trading network. African, Asian and Middle Eastern influences still permeate the coastal Swahili culture and, if you head further in land, there’s more seductive cultures to experience, such as those of the red-shawled Maasai warriors in Maasailand and the ancient Hadzabe people of Lake Eyasi. The warmth and hospitality of the East African people are sure to leave you with some of your yachting vacation’s most memorable moments.

Crossing the Big Ocean in a Little Boat

by Rich Stratton, Assistant Director of Public Relations

How long would it take to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean from the Canary Islands near Africa to Antigua in the Caribbean Sea? “Team Foar Brothers,” including Cedarville alumni Thomas '05, Trent '02, and Tim Hamilton along with their nephew, Ben Clark, did it in 37 days, 10 hours, and 55 minutes.   

Discover more about their incredible journey of completing The World’s Toughest Row as Thomas returns for his second appearance on the Cedarville Stories Podcast . Then watch their exhilarating finish line video to get a glimpse of what it was like to row a little boat across the big ocean.  

During their expedition on the open sea, the team faced numerous challenges , including towering waves, relentless rains, the endless expanse of salt water, continuous physical exertion, and being constantly tossed around. It truly tested their endurance, yet they persevered through their unity, the unwavering prayers of their loved ones , and their faith in the Lord. Despite the daunting obstacles, they managed to cross the finish line successfully.  

  Their journey was not only a personal accomplishment but also a fundraising initiative , raising nearly $57,000 for Send Relief, a Baptist mission supporting Afghan refugees.   

While they found fulfillment in making a positive impact on others, they also reaped personal rewards. They were able to witness the beauty of God’s creation , the vastness of His universe, and the constant presence of His embrace. Even in the isolation of the ocean, without seeing any signs of human life for weeks, they found solace in the knowledge that they were never truly alone.
