A $45 million superyacht formerly owned by a Google co-founder is in Whangārei, undergoing a refit.
Senses, a 59-metre vessel weighing almost 1000 tonnes, is currently sitting in a slipway (boat ramp) at Ship Repair NZ s Port Rd site as it completes its seventh refit in New Zealand, believed to be its first in Whangārei.
According to the SuperYachtfan website, Google co-founder Larry Page bought the expedition vessel in 2011 from New Zealand multi-millionaire Sir Douglas Myers, the long-time chief executive of Lion Breweries and Lion Nathan who passed away in 2017.
