A secretive billionaire has taken delivery of two superyachts in one go, showing how easy it is for them to splash millions upon millions on luxury superyachts.
The billionaire has kept their identity very close to their chest. But Damen Yachting has confirmed it has conducted the double delivery.
Both yachts were built by Damen in Antalya, Turkey, with the Dutch company saying it was supported by its heritage and craftsmanship throughout.
The two yachts are filled with luxe features, so it’s easy for us to see why their billionaire owner decided to buy them.

What are the two superyachts bought by the secretive billionaire?
The main superyacht out of the two is the Xplorer 60, which has been christened ‘After You’.
This is a 197-foot-long Ice-class explorer yacht, built for expedition, yet it is still packed with luxury.
The company states that the yacht has a price tag of up to $100 million and accommodates 12 people in six staterooms.
Damen has said it has ‘alfresco’ lounge areas, and it even features a helipad, but most impressive is its exploration capabilities.
‘After You’ can carry enough supplies for 30 days on the water and has a range of 5,000 nautical miles.
Meanwhile, the other yacht is the YS 53, christened Emotional.
This is a slightly smaller 175-foot superyacht, designed as a luxurious support vessel.
The support yacht still has a hefty price tag
Yet despite its status and slightly smaller size, this yacht isn’t cheap either.
It costs up to $30 million and can carry extra crew members, supplies, and provide logistical assistance.
This yacht has four staterooms onboard, and in total has a capacity for the captain and ten crew members.
Remember, this is a support vessel, but it has almost as much capacity as the main superyacht!
Incredibly, it can also carry all sorts of extra toys on its main deck, and a massive crane to carry a personal submersible.
For those who want to see the two yachts for themselves, you might be in luck.
Both are set to appear at the Monaco Yacht Show in September 2025.
That does mean you have to be able to afford to go to Monaco, however!
