Motor Yacht

In 2008, Feadship launched the stylish and understated superyacht Archimedes. This 67.75 metre (222’3”) motor yacht was designed by De Voogt Naval Architects and John Munford Designs and features proven high-end technologies that bring her from idyllic luxury yacht to global cruiser.

Rarely seen in the traditional superyacht destinations, her ice-strengthened Corinthian blue hull is often touring the world’s most far-flung locations. The desire to cruise the furthest reaches of the world introduced created a number of exterior areas for al fresco dining with a view.

On the large sundeck, guests can make the most of their time on board with a masterfully crafted marble mosaic Jacuzzi, bar and entertainment area, enclosed gym and lots of dining and social areas as you cruise the globe. The panoramic views are uninterrupted by tenders and toys on deck due to dedicated wells, lifts and large garage.

Her beam of 12 metres provides a large amount of space on board for a relaxed, yet sophisticated interior by John Munford Design. Battling the cavernous space on board, the interior remains welcoming with comfortable furniture and a grand piano in the main lounge. Archimedes is the first Feadship to feature a wood burning fireplace, reflecting the relaxed, stately nature of being on board.

The full-beam master bedroom is divided into various relaxation areas, consisting of large central bed and a lady’s writing desk which was handmade for the owner’s wife. The bathrooms draw inspiration from the titular Greek god and showcases artisan mosaic marble floors in all six ensuite staterooms, hosting space for eight guests on board.

A luxury yacht is turning heads on the St. John's waterfront.

The Archimedes arrived in the city Thursday and is replenishing supplies.

The so-called superyacht is a $100-million vessel owned by hedge fund manager James Simons, an American who went from being a math professor to the founder of Renaissance Technologies.

Online sources  describe the boat as 68 metres with room for a dozen guests in six cabins. There are 18 crew.

Simons, who also owns a private jet, had an estimated net worth of $18 billion U.S in 2017, according to Forbes.

He's also a philanthropist, donating money to scientific research and to improve math programs in public schools.

In 2014,  The New York Times  did a profile piece on the "billionaire mathematician," which stated the man leads a life of "ferocious curiosity."

It's not known if Simons, 79, is aboard the Archimedes, which is not believed to be available for charter. He shuns the limelight and rarely gives interviews.

The arrival of a £75million superyacht off Penzance has turned plenty of heads.

The Archimedes, which was recently moored in Falmouth , arrived off the harbour in Penzance on Monday.

The huge yacht belongs to US billionaire James Simons.

Mr Simons, 80, was born in Massachusetts and previously worked as a maths teacher and Cold War code breaker.

According to Forbes he is worth an estimated £16billion and is the founder of New York City-based hedge fund firm Renaissance Technologies.

Mr Simons founded the firm in 1982 and remained at the head of the company before announcing his retirement in January 2010.

Despite formally stepping down from his duties, Mr Simons continues to hold the position of non-executive chairman.

The yacht Archimedes off Penzance harbour

Prior to Renaissance Technologies, Mr Simons worked for many years as a mathematics professor at Stony Brook University in New York.

The yacht was built at the Dutch builder Royal Van Lent and delivered to Mr Simons in 2008. It is not known if Mr Simons is aboard the Archimedes, though the yacht is not believed to be available for charter.

Plenty of people along the front at Penzance stopped to admire the massive yacht

In 2006 Financial Times described Mr Simons as the “world’s smartest billionaire” after being named on the paper’s ‘alternative rich list’.

Take a look inside The Archimedes

  • The vessel is 68 metres long - much longer than an Olympic-class swimming pool of 50m
  • Its beam, the widest point, is 12.3 meters - the length of double decker bus
  • It can be crewed by a 18-strong team and house 16 guests
  • This is over 8 cabins, comprising a master suite, 4 double cabins and 3 twin cabins.
  • Her twin Caterpillar engines give it an astounding 4,000 BHP - almost four times the BHP of a Bugatti Veyron, the fastest car on the road
  • It gives it a top speed of 16 knots, and a cruising speed of 12 knots
  • With its 171,000 litre fuel tanks it has a range of 6,000 nautical miles.

This family stopped for selfie with the superyacht Archimedes

  • It weighs 1,100 tonnes - the same as 183 fully-grown African elephants
  • The boat can store 53,400 litres of fresh water on board
  • It is estimated the standard fuel usage for a 71m yacht is 500 litres an hour, meaning an average of £265m is spent just on petrol every year
  • It can cost around £350,000 a year just in dockage fees
  • The crew will command a salary of around £1.5m and the boat will generally need £1m spent on maintenance
  • To insure a super yacht like this it will set you back about £240,000 a year.

A multi-million pound superyacht docked in Bristol over the weekend - much to the excitement and intrigue of the crowd gathered to watch it arrive.

Everybody who witnessed the vessel dock beside M-Shed on Sunday afternoon (August 5) had the same burning question in mind - who owns it?

It is believed the superyacht - which is worth an estimated £76million - is owned by US billionaire James ‘Jim’ Simons.

Here is a rundown of everything we know about Mr Simons...

Pictures show the arrival of the £76million superyacht in Bristol

He’s worth £16billion

Simons is 80-years-old, was born in Massachusetts, America, and previously worked as a maths teacher and Cold War code breaker.

According to Forbes, he is worth an estimated £16million and is the founder of New York City-based hedge fund firm Renaissance Technologies.

Simons founded the firm in 1982 and remained at the head of the company before announcing his retirement in January 2010.

Despite formally stepping down from his duties, Simons continues to hold the position of non-executive chairman.

Who is James 'Jim' Simons?

Prior to Renaissance Technologies, Simons worked for many years as a mathematics professor at Stony Brook University in New York.

He has a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - one of America’s most prestigious educational institutions - and a PhD in mathematics from the University of California.

‘World’s smartest billionaire’

In 2006, Financial Times described Simons as the “world’s smartest billionaire” after being named on the paper’s ‘alternative rich list’.

The article highlighted the 80-year-old’s commercial achievements alongside his academic contributions, including a paper he co-authored in 1974 which introduced a breakthrough theory to the world of geometry.

According to the paper, the theory has gained significant prestige since the 1980s for its use in topological quantum field theory.

Why is the yacht in Bristol?

The boat is approximately 68 metres in length and has 18 crew members

Simons’ superyacht the Archimedes docked in Bristol on Sunday afternoon (August 5), having sailed via the Irish Sea.

The vessel is 68 metres long, staffed by 18 members of crew and is worth an estimated £76million.

It was built at the Dutch yacht builder Royal Van Lent and delivered to Simons in 2008.

It is not known if Simons is aboard the Archimedes, though the yacht is not believed to be available for charter, nor is it known how long it may remain in Bristol.

A series of stunning photographs, posted online by Bristol Harbour, documented the yacht’s arrival in to the city - sailing up Avon Gorge, underneath the Clifton Suspension Bridge, via Cumberland Basin and into the harbour.

The yacht is far bigger than anything else currently docked in Bristol harbour

A small crowd of people gathered by M-Shed to see the vessel arrive, with many of those stopping to take pictures.

‘Never seen anything as big’

A local resident, who was having lunch in Wapping Wharf at the time, told Bristol Live it was biggest and most expensive thing they had ever seen.

“I’ve been living at the harbourside for almost two years but I’ve never seen anything as big or expensive as the Archimedes go by,” the resident said.

“I was having lunch at Cargo with some friends as it sailed in and everyone turned to look at it open-mouthed, like that scene at the end of The Goonies.

“It’s definitely the most impressive vessel I’ve seen since I’ve lived here. There were people on both of the upper decks waving and taking pictures.

The Archimedes makes its way through Avon Gorge

“It’s not something you see every day down here, and we get to see quite a lot of awesome boats most days.”

Simons shuns the limelight

The yacht - worth an estimated £76million - dwarfs the cars on the road beside it

According to reports online, Simons shuns the limelights and rarely gives interviews.

In an interview with Seed Magazine in 2006, he explained: “I was on Lou Dobbs for about a microsecond.

“He was doing a piece on teaching, and they interviewed a number of folks. But I’ve never been on TV in any meaningful way. And I don’t really have a desire for that.

“There’s a wonderful quote in Animal Farm. The source of all wisdom in that book is Benjamin the donkey. He observes at one point that ‘God gave me a tail to keep off the flies. But I’d rather of had no tail and no flies.’ So, that’s kind of the way I feel about publicity.”

Feadship has announced that 10-year-old luxury yacht ARCHIMEDES has returned to cruising following her refit and upgrades at the shipyard’s facilities in the Netherlands.

Luxury yacht ARCHIMEDES has retained much of her interior and exterior styling from Studio de Voogt and John Munford Design respectively, with a new coat of paint to freshen up her cool white superstructure.

Other exterior changes included new teak for the stern swim platform, a new antifouling system and maintenance carried out on the gangplank, side hull door, tender lift and stern platform door.

Inside, guests will notice a newly painted floor within the sundeck interior, all AV systems replaced and upgraded and new upholstery and furniture for the shared social areas and each guest cabin.

The engine room had maintenance work completed on the shaft line and engine supports as well as the seawater cooling systems and stabilisers, in addition to a new generator and upgrades to the heating and air conditioning system, water-maker and fuel oil separator.

A pair of 2x CAT 3516B DI-TA 1492 kW engines @ 1600 rpm give the powerful ARCHIMEDES a top speed of 16 and a cruising speed of 12 knots.

There are only four en-suite cabins aboard this 68m/223ft superyacht, providing each occupant with plenty of room on board on long excursions.

Her professional crew of 10 is now returning to cruising the world’s seas, already having travelled 200,000 nautical miles since her launch in 2008.

Captain Christopher Walsh commented of her new appearance and upgrades:

“The project was finished on time and on budget. This is exactly what one expects from Feadship… It’s been a pleasure to bring ARCHIMEDES home to the Netherlands for this work, and the three months we’ve spent here brought back great memories of the original build back in the mid-noughties. The yacht is now in perfect condition for the owner and his guests to embark on another decade of exploring the oceans. Our recent expedition into the High Arctic has certainly whetted everyone’s appetite for more adventures.”

Future Feadship refits and upgrades will take place at Feadship Refit & Services, a new division of the luxury yacht builder to ensure that Feadship Owners retain the same high-quality performance and appearance that the yachts received during their initial construction.

Archimedes completes three month refit at Feadship

The 68 metre Feadship Archimedes has departed her home yard after completing a three-month refit.

The yacht arrived at the Dutch yard in September, fresh from completing an “epic” Arctic expedition.

Refit work included the replacing and upgrading of all AV facilities, fresh teak applied to the stern platform and new upholstery for the furniture and beds.

The crew mess was completely rebuilt and the sun deck interior floor repainted.

Major maintenance work was also carried out on the shaft line, engine supports, gangway and stern platform door.

The superstructure was repainted and a new antifouling system added too.

Her refit was well deserved. Since her launch in 2008,  Archimedes  has visited more than 80 countries and clocked up over 210,000 nautical miles.

Captain Christopher Walsh said the yacht had been returned to "perfect condition" and is ready for "the owner and his guests to embark on another decade of exploring the oceans".

"Our recent expedition into the high Arctic has certainly whetted everyone's appetites for more adventures," he said.

He added that bringing Archimedes ' to her home yard for the three month refit had been a "pleasure."

"The project was finished on time and on budget," he said. "The three months we've spent here brought back great memories of the original build back in the mid-noughties."

California yacht owner threatens to kill dock worker in vicious showdown, cali yacht owner threatens to kill dock worker drops pants for rude salute, 82 3/13/2024 8:09 am pt.

A California yacht owner's vicious beef with a dock worker has reached death-threat levels -- and their exchange was caught on camera and included a nude, and very rude, gesture!

Check out the clip ... it all unfolds when San Diego entrepreneur Ajay Thakore swings by the swanky Marriott Marquis Marina in his rare $4.5M Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 yacht to pick up one of his employees -- but things boil over when dock worker Joseph Holt tells him he can't be there.

Thakore, the CEO of medical advertising firm Doctor Multimedia, flips out on Holt big time ... and starts spewing threats like, "I will kill you, you know I will kill you, I will kill."

And it doesn't stop there -- as Thakore's pulling out of the harbor, he drops trou to make a full frontal salute in Holt's direction. Stay classy, San Diego!

Holt's only retaliation was flipping the bird, and he later told CBS8 that was all he could do to keep his cool and avoid escalating the situation.

Holt says parts of the altercation were not captured on camera, and he adds ... Thakore not only threatened to kill him, but also claimed to have connections who could totally mess up his life.

Holt also says Thakore pulled out $100 bills and tossed them at him, even chucking some in the water.

BTW, Thakore's done some backpedaling since the ugly exchange -- he now says, "The interaction that occurred yesterday was regrettable. What started as a minor misunderstanding escalated into an argument, and I apologize for my actions and to those who witnessed the unfortunate exchange."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

FWIW ... One of Thakore’s employees claims the whole thing began because other dock workers blocked him from boarding the yacht.

Oh, and if that fancy Lambo yacht looks familiar -- it's the same one Chuck Liddell recently tumbled off just last month. Now it's famous AND infamous!
