"Launchpad" and "Wingman": Mark Zuckerberg spotted off Mallorca
It is more than a rumour that Mark Zuckerberg has bought the brand new, 118-metre-long Feadship. The "Launchpad", designed by Espen Øino, was originally intended to be built for a Russian.
In a very pragmatic move, the new owner also added an escort vessel called "Wingman" to the portfolio - a 67-metre steel and aluminium construction built by Damen in 2014, which was last called "Dapple" and was fittingly for sale. As tenders are usually brought in by the company itself and not taken over, the new fleet cannot yet be listed exactly. Helicopter and wakeboard boat are also included in any case.

After a stop at Caló d'es Monjo, tender boats took the group to the harbour of Can Pastilla in the afternoon. According to various media reports, they had previously taken a trip to the Formentor peninsula.
