KAOS Yacht – Extravagant $300M Superyacht

KAOS yacht (formerly JUBILEE and AL MENWAR) is an award-winning superyacht that was recently refitted with a completely redesigned interior.

At 110 metres (361ft) and 4,523 tons, she was the largest yacht ever built in the Netherlands at the time of her launch in 2017.

The vessel was recently spotted off the coast of southern Spain before dropping anchor in the beach town of Marbella.

Kaos yacht interior

The interior of the motor yacht was originally designed by Sam Sorgiovanni who is originally from Australia and aims to unite practicality with beauty through his unique designs.

The vessel was made completely wheelchair accessible including elevators and barrier-free access to all decks. 

The process took a year and with the help of the British designer Reymond Langton, the interior was transformed.

KAOS has room for 31 guests in 16 cabins. This includes a lavish owner’s suite which consists of two separate bedrooms.

There are also four VIP suites and ten standard suites with ensuite bathrooms. All guest cabins are located on the upper deck. 

45 staff distributed across 24 cabins find space on the lower levels of the vessel. Only the cabins for the captain and first officer are located on the bridge deck.

The KAOS yacht was designed with maximum comfort in mind. Her interior includes lavish facilities such as a spacious elevator, a steam room, a full gym, as well as an indoor beach club.

Originally she was constructed with Middle Eastern design in mind which includes features such as a large majelis, which is a dedicated seating and entertainment area meant for hosting guests.

The KAOS yacht also has a large cinema, a sauna, and full spa facilities. Below the deck, there is a separate crew gym and a small hospital in case of medical emergencies.

The interior design can be described as lavish and luxurious. White and blue carpeted floors with intricate designs compliment the exterior of the vessel and its signature aqua color.

Golden accents and cream upholstery go well with the wooden elements such as the teak flooring.

Opulent furnishing with many indirect lighting accents creates a feeling of coziness and luxury. 

Specifications

At the time of her launch in 2017, the KAOS yacht was the largest yacht ever built by the custom yacht builder Oceano as well as the largest yacht built in the Netherlands.

At a length of 110 meters (361ft), a beam of 16.4 meters (53 ft), and a maximum draft of 4.4 meters (14.5 ft), she is currently ranked as the 39th largest motor yacht in the world, together with motor yachts ANNA, RADIANT and AL RAYA who measure the same length.

She displaces 4,523 tons and is known for her unusual design, which is very sleek and minimalist.

KAOS can reach speeds of up to 19 knots with an average speed of 15 knots which is not the fastest in her weight category but still impressive for her large size.

As expected from Oceano, she was constructed primarily from aluminum and steel and has a fuel capacity of 391,000 liters as well as a 230,000-litre freshwater tank. She is powered by impressive MTU engines fuelling two propellers.

The KAOS yacht can host 31 guests in 16 cabins as well as 45 crew in 24 cabins. Her maximum range is estimated to be somewhere around 5,000 nautical miles.

The KAOS yacht is an exceptionally beautiful yacht that was built prioritizing modern and minimalist design.

Lobanov Design is responsible for her eye-catching exterior, which focuses on futuristic elements combined with optical illusions. 

Established in 2007, this design studio is known to be young, offering unique perspectives and modern approaches.

She was built with curved lines in mind incorporating elements of glass and metal in a nautical context.

Her all-around glass fronts create an optical illusion letting the yacht appear to have several more decks than she actually has. 

The so-called trompe l’oeil effect lets KAOS appear sleek and elongated, setting her apart from traditional yacht design. Her designer Lobanov describes the modeling process for KAOS.

“The 3D modeling was quite a challenging task, which pleased my mathematical part of the brain. Each of the layers meets and splits under certain rules, which can be noticed from different angles.”

Her exterior is white with light blue accents, which are contrasted by the many darkly tinted windows.

She has four decks, the largest of which is the aft which has a sizable swimming pool with a built-in aquarium and seating areas.

Several smaller decks are located on higher levels, although most of them are hidden in shaded areas. 

Close to the top of the superstructure, a small jacuzzi is situated, allowing guests to enjoy incredible views while relaxing.

At the bow, a helipad is located, including refueling facilities for small to medium-sized helicopter aircraft. Below the helipad, the mooring deck is cleverly concealed for aesthetic purposes. 

At the stern of the vessel, the KAOS yacht has an extendable swimming platform that can be closed completely when the yacht is underway.

This platform leads directly to a lounge area inside the yacht, complete with a state-of-the-art entertainment system, TV, and storage space.

On the starboard side of the aft, there is a separate platform for docking tenders and releasing water toys.

KAOS also possesses a modern underwater lighting system and state-of-the-art stabilizers for the comfort of guests when the vessel is underway or at anchor.

Toys and equipment

The KAOS yacht carries at least two tenders, one of which almost looks like a miniature version of the main vessel with the same blue and white design and tinted windows.

They were built by Pascoe International , a renowned company specializing in tenders for superyachts. 

She carries a wide array of water toys, including several jet skis, water bobs, and paddleboards.

Previous names

Originally the KAOS yacht was built in the Netherlands by Oceano under the name SECRET III. Upon her launch, she was officially named JUBILEE and then renamed AL MENWAR by the royal family of Qatar, the House of Thani.

The boat is believed to be owned by Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie, who is one of the richest women in the world from her family's establishment of well-known retailer Walmart.

It was originally built by Dutch yard Oceano for the late Emir of Qatar, who named it Jubilee. It was refitted by German yard Lürssen as part of a 17-month project which touched 1,500 square metres of interior space.

It was the biggest yacht ever built in the Netherlands when it launched in 2017. According to Boat International Magazine , the yacht was bought by its new owners in 2018 and its interior was designed by Sam Sorgiovanni and the exterior was completed by Igor Lobanov.

A second said: "Wow, absolutely massive boat. It even has a helipad on the top, very cool." A third added: "I wonder who will be the first person to try to get up close to it with a drone only to find out that someone with that much money has for sure invested in countermeasures."

A fourth person seemed doubtful that they'd spend so much money on a luxury yacht if they had the chance. "Much as it's nice and all... it cost $300m," they said.

Dun Laoghaire is bracing for a record-breaking cruise ship season , with over 90 cruise ships to visit this year bringing a total of 164,000 passengers and 71,000 crew to the area. Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has said the benefits of these cruises extend beyond the immediate tourism sector, contributing to the restoration of the 200-year-old historic Harbour.

Norwegian Cruise Lines will top the schedule with 20 visits to Dun Laoghaire this year, followed by Viking Cruise Lines who will visit 17 times.

A superyacht belonging to one of the wealthiest women in the world was sighted on Tuesday moored in Scotsman’s Bay, off Dún Laoghaire, providing a rare treat for the harbour’s yacht spotters.

The 110-metre, €300 million Kaos is reportedly owned by Nancy Walton Laurie, heiress to the Walmart US retail empire.

Weighing in at 4,523 tons, it has impressive features including 16 cabins, a gym, a steam room, an indoor beach club, a cinema, a sauna, and a spa. There is also a swimming pool and a helipad.

The yacht’s interiors are known for their lavish style which includes marble and stone fittings, and custom-made silk carpets.

The yacht was recently seen in London and Cornwall before making its way to Dún Laoghaire.

According to Superyacht Times, Kaos was formerly known as Jubilee, and was launched in 2017, as the largest yacht ever built in the Netherlands.

“The exterior features a combination of curved lines and glass panels in the bulwarks is visually stunning to create an illusion of extra decks and a trompe l’oeil effect where the yacht appears long and lean. Metallic paint enhances reflected sunlight on these curved lines,” the publication said.

It was the second large private yacht to visit the Dublin in recent weeks and follows the more modest €80 million Scout which was moored in the Liffey and visited Kinsale.

Scout, also a Dutch-built vessel, was launched in 2019 for James Berwind, whose family made a fortune out of coal and mining. He now engages in social entrepreneurship and is reported to have a passion for animal welfare.

Berwind and his partner Kevin Clark designed Scout, which is named after the couple’s dog, to be a semi-permanent base from which they can explore the world.

The superyacht visits come at the beginning of what is expected to be a busy season for cruise ships at the historic south Dublin port town.

Mary Hanafin, former Cathaoirleach of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown council, said more than 90 ships will visit Dún Laoghaire this year. During her tenure as Cathaoirleach, which concluded this week, Ms Hanafin said she visited three ships which were first-time arrivals in Dún Laoghaire. She said the cruise ships which she visited were two small luxury vessels which can accommodate 500 to 600 passengers, and one larger ship which could accommodate some 3,200 passengers and 1,400 crew.

Ms Hanafin said the local authority which controls the harbour receives fees for boats moored offshore while power boat owners also received fees for escorting tenders.

She said while some passengers went on to Dublin or Glendalough, many remained in Dún Laoghaire Town and spent money on gifts. She said the council has set up and tourist information and gift shops as well as a reception area in the harbour.

110m Kaos (ex Jubilee) Redelivered by Lurssen After Major Refit

By Jenna Mehdi

Following an extensive refit at Lurssen’s Blohm + Voss facilities in Hamburg, the 110m superyacht formerly named Jubilee has emerged. KAOS marks Lurssen’s largest refit project to date, commencing at the end of March 2019, and involving modifications to her interior and exterior.

'We are very satisfied that we achieved what we set out to do,'  comments York Ilgner, director Lürssen Yacht Refit. ' It was a complex refit that was challenging at times, but it has been very successful.'

As many will already be aware, the iconic superyacht now named Kaos was originally built by Dutch shipyard Oceanco and christened Jubilee in 2017. Exterior modifications on the main deck and bridge deck aft, penned by Sam Sorgiovanni (who designed Jubilee's interior), have been integrated into the yacht’s original design. 

'What you see from outside already looks significant, but the majority of the work was done on the interior ,' continues Thomas Dapp, the project manager. 'Overall, we renewed 1,500 square metres of interior spaces.'

The Owner’s team selected British designer Reymond Langton design for the interiors, who deftly redesigned existing spaces as well as creating new ones. Burgess’s new construction team represented the owner on the project, building on a long-standing collaboration between the global brokerage house and Lürssen Yachts. 

‘The owners were heavily involved in every aspect of the project,'  says Ed Beckett from Burgess. ‘This was an incredibly demanding project particularly in relation to timing and quality expectations – the end result is really quite exceptional and was only achieved with great teamwork from all involved.’

Lürssen was proud to announce the successful completion of the works towards the tail end of what has undeniably been an extremely disruptive year for many, circumventing any issues presented by breakdown of supply chains and the yard’s own safety protocols.  

The conversion works on Kaos solidify Lürssen’s presence in the refit sector on yachts that were not built at its own yard. With extensive facilities, strong manpower and engineering expertise, Lürssen is able to apply the same excellent construction quality to its refit projects as to its new builds. These extensive facilities include eight shipyards across Northern Germany, a workforce of over 2,800 staff, including over 700 engineers and naval architects. 

Although each project is unique, Lürssen applies the same promise to every project it takes on; that the yacht’s life expectancy and performance will be restored to that of a new build after leaving the Lürssen shed.

"It was a complex refit that was challenging at times, but it has been very successful" York Ilgner, director Lürssen Yacht Refit.

BREAKING: Oceanco's 110m superyacht JUBILEE renamed KAOS

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

By Katia Damborsky   28 September 2020

Following a major refit at Lurssen's facilities Hamburg, the 110m (361') JUBILEE has received a name change and has taken to the seas as motor yacht KAOS .

Flying in the face of early reports that she was to be renamed 'Secret III', the yacht formerly known as JUBILEE has emerged from Lurssen's facilities as luxury yacht  KAOS .

The superyacht made headlines when she became the largest Dutch-built yacht ever delivered in 2017, and she created even more buzz in the yachting industry when she was announced as the largest yacht sale of the year in 2018. 

All eyes were on the 4,523 GT superyacht when she went into the Lurssen facilities for a refit in March 2019.  She reemerged in July 2020 and since then her AIS data has been updated to reflect her new name. 

As well as a new name, luxury yacht KAOS is sporting a number of changes to her stern and aft deck area. As more pictures become available, we'll have a clearer picture of what changes have been made.

Her award-winning exterior has been left largely untouched, with Lobanov Design creating her turquoise superstructure and crisp white hull. 

KAOS created even more buzz in the yachting industry when she was announced as the largest yacht sale of the year in 2018.

KAOS currently ranks at number 42 in the World's Top 100 Superyachts as measured by GT. She comes in at 36 in terms of length. 

The motor yacht will now undergo sea trials before being redelivered. 

It is not yet known whether M/Y KAOS will become available for luxury yacht charters .

Climate Activists Deface Walmart Heiress’ $300M Superyacht

They used fire extinguishers to drench the stern in paint.

A group of climate activists vandalized the $300 million superyacht of Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie in Ibiza on Sunday, drenching the craft’s stern in black and red paint shot from fire extinguishers.

Two demonstrators—from the Spain-based Futuro Vegetal environmental group—then displayed a sign that read “You Consume Others Suffer,” which they proudly posted to their Twitter account.

Police said that those two demonstrators have been arrested.

“The only reason we continue to maintain an economic system that leads us to eco-social collapse is to sustain the privileges of this small privileged class,” Futuro Vegetal said of the stunt in an Instagram pos t. “The mega-rich live off the suffering of others.”

The group performed a similar act just two days prior, soaking a private jet in yellow and black paint before donning a sign with a similar message.

Laurie, their latest target, inherited a stake in Walmart in 1995 from her father Bud Walton, who built the brand into retail royalty alongside his brother. She is reportedly worth more than $8 billion, making her one of the richest 300 people in the world, according to Forbes .

Her yacht, named Kaos, is a whopping 361 feet long, features four decks, and has room for 31 guests and a 45-person crew.

The boat’s amenities include an on-board aquarium , full spa facilities, and a large cinema. There’s even a separate gym for the ship’s crew and a small hospital for at-sea medical crises.

Laurie did not respond to The Daily Beast’s requests for comment.

Set a course for adventure: 'Love Boat' cast reuniting for cruise – and a stop in Newport

Bernie Kopell remains proud to have never lost a patient. And that was in 12 years as Dr. Adam Bricker, beloved ship's physician/Casanova on the 1970s-1980s “The Love Boat” television series.

The popularity of Dr. Bricker and the whole ”Love Boat” series refuses to fade. Instead, thanks to four decades of reruns, Doc, Isaac, Gopher, Julie, Vickie and Capt. Stubing may be more popular than ever.

Why else would Princess Cruises keep bringing the ships' crew back again and again and again as ambassadors and stars on their Love Boat-themed cruises? All of the major actors, except Gavin MacLeod/Capt. Stubing (died in 2021), are still with us. And Kopell, Ted Lange (bartender Isaac Washington), Fred Grandy (purser Burl “Gopher” Smith), and Jill Whelan (captain's daughter Vicki) are scheduled to be aboard the Enchanted Princess for its late summer, seven-day, five-port U.S.-Canadian excursion, which includes a Day 2 (Sept. 1) stop in Newport .

“It's a dream, and I've been living my dream with Princess for all these many years,” Kopell, 90, said during a recent phone interview. “And I say, lucky, lucky, lucky. Thank you, thank you.”

Christened in the fall of 2021, the 1,083-foot Enchanted Princess features 19 decks, 1,830 cabins and accommodates 3,660 guests served by a crew of 1,346. The summer Love Boat cruise starts and ends in New York City and features port stops in Newport, Boston, Bar Harbor, Maine, St. John, New Brunswick, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. The dates are Aug. 31 to Sept. 7.

"The Love Boat" television series started out with the Pacific Princess (actually two ships were used) on three-night Mexican cruises out of Los Angeles. With the show's popularity, the cruises expanded to Alaska, the Mediterranean, China and beyond. In their roles as ambassadors, the crew has seen even more of the world. It's one heck of a retirement gig.

“It's never-ending. It just keeps on going,” Kopell said. “We go to other places we've never been before. Just came back with the Ruby Princess. We went down to South America, Central America. All over the place. It's just a treat.”

Also loved for his five-season recurring role as hilarious bad guy Sigfried on “Get Smart,” Kopell was no sailing neophyte when he landed the role of Dr. Bricker. Kopell is a Navy veteran, having toured the world while serving aboard the USS Iowa in peacetime between the Korean and Vietnam wars. Enroute to shooting Love Boat outdoor scenes aboard Princess ships in San Pedro, California, Kopell said he would drive right by his old Navy ship.

Aboard the Iowa, Kopell's duties included teaching a GED course to help shipmates earn a high school equivalency diploma. A graduate of New York University, Kopell was also a ship's librarian. “People say, what did you do in the Navy?” Kopell said. “I said, well, I kept America safe from overdue books.”

What was 'Love Boat' like for Bernie Kopell?

"The Love Boat" was somehow given three pilot episodes before ABC brought it into its regular lineup. The first pilot featured Kopell's friend, Dick Van Patten, as the ship's physician, then named Dr. O'Neil. Kopell said ABC, which had Van Patten under contract, yanked him from "Love Boat" to star in “Eight is Enough,” which enjoyed great success. Shortly before “Love Boat,” Van Patten and Kopell both had supporting roles on the famously flopped ABC TV show “When Things Were Rotten.” Van Patten subsequently made multiple guest star appearances on “Love Boat.”

After Van Patten lost his medical license, so to speak, Kopell landed the ship's doc role, but it was not handed to him. He had to audition where, for one of the rare times in his life, he opted not to be a nice guy. Kopell recalled wearing a spiffy nautical jacket. Another actor there to audition complimented Kopell on the jacket and asked if he could use it for his audition.

“I'm supposed to say yes and be so generous,” Kopell said. “But I said sorry. I got it for my own self. So, of course, that's how I got the part.”

Perhaps Kopell's favorite “Love Boat” episode starred dancer/actress Juliet Prowse playing one of Doc's ex-wives. The script called for the two to become, briefly, romantically reunited. Kopell said he was excited and nervous when he first saw the script. He almost went into cardiac arrest when, after a stuttering inquisition into who would play his ex, he was told it was Prowse, whom he confesses to having had a crush on. “I said oh, how lucky I can get?”

Kopell loves to mention that “Love Boat” numbered multiple Academy Award winners among its guests stars. In fact, he said he's writing a book on that topic. He listed Eva St. Marie, Ernest Borgnine and Shirley Jones. He and the late Borgnine, of “McHale's Navy” fame, became close friends.

Kopell said he routinely watches “The Love Boat” on Sundays at 5 p.m. on his Channel 54. Recently, his 21-year-old son, after watching dad on an episode, complimented Kopell for being fit and trim. Kopell said he stayed fit by playing a lot of tennis and skipping rope, which he is shown doing in at least one episode.

Kopell said that today, at 90, he still whacks the tennis ball around. “Keep coming at 'em. That's been my motto since the beginning,” he said.

Kopell said that when he first came to Hollywood, his agent told him he wasn't handsome enough to be a lead nor gooney enough to play a “heavy.” Kopell survived those first five years by playing roles that called for a Latino accent.

His German/Austrian accent served him so well as Siegfried on “Get Smart.” To this day, fans of the show ask him to recite famous lines, often from an episode where he is captaining a KAOS (the self-professed international organization of evil) submarine which is the target of good-guy depth chargers. After one charger shakes the submarine and his crew starts to scream and run about in fear, Siegfried grabs the microphone and barks out, “This is KAOS. You will not panic until you are given the order to panic.”

After another depth charger rocks the sub much more severely, Siegfried again grabs the mic and this time cries out, “Prepare to panic.”

Kopell said he never had a contract to do his “Get Smart” work. At the same time, he also had a recurring role on “That Girl,” starring Marlo Thomas. He said he got to know the ABC schedulers well and was able to shoot “Get Smart” on Mondays and Thursdays, and do “That Girl” on the other days.

Love Boat cruise is 'like coming home'

He also remains close friends with “Get Smart” co-star Barbara Feldon and with Marlo Thomas, and still meets them for dinner when he's in New York City.

Which is where he will be on the last day of August for the Love Boat cruise and yet another reunion with people he considers family. From the beginning of "Love Boat," he said, the cast got along very well. The chemistry was great.

And it's still the same come cruise time.

“It's like coming home,” Kopell said.

Rooms are still available for the late-summer Love Boat cruise which stops in Newport. Visit  www.princess.com  for details.

Jeff Goldblum Is Zeus in Netflix’s KAOS : Watch Trailer for Greek Mythology Riff From End of the F***ing World EP

The almighty spokesman for Apartments.com is now the almighty Zeus.

Netflix on Tuesday released a teaser trailer for KAOS , a darkly comedic and contemporary reimagining of Greek mythology hailing from The End of the F***ing World creator Charlie Covell. The footage introduces Goldblum as the “cruel” and “occasionally benevolent” Zeus, who has “no idea that the plot to take him down has begun.”

“Having long enjoyed his status as King of The Gods, Zeus’ reign has never been truly threatened,” according to the official logline. “That is until he wakes up one morning and discovers a wrinkle on his forehead. Believing it to be the harbinger of an ancient prophecy which foretells his destruction, neurosis sets in: Zeus becomes convinced his fall is coming. As his paranoia takes hold, the God of Gods — seeing signs everywhere — starts to dangerously self-destruct.  

“And he’s right to be worried,” we’re told. “Zeus’ onetime friend and now prisoner, Prometheus, is orchestrating a plan to bring him down. The plan involves three disparate humans, all of whom are totally unaware of their cosmic significance or the part they must play in saving the world. No pressure. (Some pressure).”

The Olympic-sized ensemble also includes David Thewlis ( Fargo ) as Hades, Janet McTeer ( Ozark ) as Hera, Cliff Curtis ( Avatar: The Way of Water ) as Poseidon, Nabhaan Rizwan ( Station Eleven ) as Dionysus, Killian Scott ( Dublin Murders ) as Orpheus Aurora Perrineau ( Westworld ) as Riddy, Misia Butler ( The School for Good and Evil ) as Caneus, Leila Farzad ( I Hate Suzie ) as Ari, Rakie Ayola ( Anthony ) as Persephone and Stanley Townsend ( Becoming Elizabeth ) as Minos. Billie Piper ( I Hate Suzie ) and Suzy Eddie Izzard join the cast in cameo roles.

Season 1 will consist of eight episodes and be released in 2024; a precise release date has not been disclosed as of press time.

Oh, I’m here for this! Can’t wait!! wish we got more of a trailer.

Looks great and I can’t wait but I think I need a Cliff notes refresher on Greek mythology before I watch.

Is his character in this series like the one from Thor movies? If so, it will be hilarious.
