Larry Ellison's 452.5 ft "Rising Sun"

Larry Ellison's latest yacht is the 138 meter or 452.5 ft Lurssen "Rising Sun." We've seen her a couple of times in the BVI's; once anchored off of The Bitter End Yacht Club in Virgin Gorda and another time cruising by us near Roadtown, Tortola.

I found some interior shoots and a cool drawing of the rising sun here: www.dma-sf.com/portfolio/yacht_my2.html Must be nice to live or work on this boat!

Saw her in Corfu, Greece on July 29.

Saw it in Copenhagen this week. A bit overdone if you ask me, but at least he's putting it to good use.

We were in the fortunate position of procuring for Rising Sun while she was at V & A Waterfront. Unfortunately I personally never met any of the crew but contacted them via e:mail and sometimes, telephone. I would love to see pics of the main crew members e.g. galley, housekeeping, stewards on board. they were such nice people to deal with. Sorry Rising Sun left on Tuesday 11th May. Bon Voyage Rising Sun.

Was just wandering around the net and found this page about Rising Sun, shocked to read the part about "the crew was very nasty, throwing water balloons at passing little boats just having a look." I don't believe it for a second! I've worked on Rising Sun for almost 2 years and our crew have never done anything of the sort, in fact we wouldn't even have the time to do it. The crew can be a bit blunt with some boats that come close and ask all sorts of questions they know they are not going to get an answer to, but that is the nature of the business when the owners request that details are kept private.

We were in the BVIs at the Bitter End yacht club and Rising Sun was in for several days, aside from the fact she is so big she had to stay further out than the Yachts of Sea Dream and the Seabourn legend, but the crew was very nasty, throwing water balloons at passing little boats just having a look. My husband and I thought it resembled a changed over military ship. Sorry!

@08-April: my thoughts exactly. I hadn't seen an image of his latest billionaire toy. I am stunned that someone with such awesome taste in attire, in his Japanese traditional woodworking home, in his beautiful vessel Sayonara, would spend so much money to build the largest private yacht in the world and have it turn out so completely ugly, devoid of character, style, personality, ...

What a butt-ass ugly yacht.
