Maltese Falcon, World’s Largest Privately Owned Sailing Yacht on the Market

March 27th, 2008 by BallerRide View Comments

Two years after its launch, the world’s largest privately owned sailing yacht is on the market. Commissioned by venture capitalist Tom Perkins, the 289-foot Maltese Falcon has won a number of high-profile awards for its innovative sail design, which allows the masts to rotate depending on wind direction. Inside the boat, a three-story atrium with a spiral staircase sets the stage for the boat’s grand scale. Six guest cabins and eight crew cabins ensure a luxurious experience for up to 12 guests. A unique deep flight submarine, which is currently being manufactured, will give guests a one-of-a-kind way to explore the seas.

Both the interior and exterior of Maltese Falcon were designed by Ken Freivokh with naval architecture by Gerard Dijkstra & Partners, in cooperation with Perini Navi.

The boat is currently sailing the Pacific and is listed at 115 million euros ($180.4 million).
