The world’s first hydrogen-powered superyacht, reportedly commissioned by tech mogul Bill Gates, is now on the market with a jaw-dropping price tag of nearly $1 billion. The 122m-long vessel, named Project 821, was officially launched on May 4th and is already making waves in the yachting world.

Boasting the ability to run on green hydrogen, Project 821 is a revolutionary vessel that has the ability to cruise between harbors or power its entire hotel load for up to a week without noise or carbon emissions. Designed by RWD and launched by Dutch shipbuilder Feadship, the vessel has been described as a game-changer in the industry.

Company director and CEO of Royal Van Lent Shipyard, Jan-Bart Verkuyl, praised the yacht for its cutting-edge innovations and highlighted its potential for acquisition by those captivated by modern technological advancements. With luxurious amenities and a state-of-the-art fuel cell technology, Project 821 offers a truly unique experience for its future owner.

While the superyacht has been linked to Bill Gates, Feadship has not confirmed the billionaire’s relationship with the vessel or the reason for its sale. Rumors suggest that Project 821 is being offered for around $981 million (€600 million), making it one of the most expensive yachts on the market.

With five decks above the waterline, two below, and ample space for guests and crew, Project 821 is a stunning piece of engineering that combines luxury with sustainability. From a VIP suite on the upper deck to a private dining room with a sea terrace on the lower deck, this yacht offers a truly extravagant lifestyle on the water.
