Gabe Newell’s 364-Foot Gigayacht Leviathan Delivered by Oceanco, Stops in UK En Route Across Atlantic

The hybrid-powered vessel was conceived for communal use with a clear research mission.

Overview

  • Oceanco has delivered Leviathan to owner Gabe Newell following a multi-year build that involved a large, named design and engineering team.
  • The yacht is registered in the Cayman Islands and made a brief call at Poole Harbour, Dorset, before setting out on a transatlantic passage.
  • Interiors prioritize shared spaces, including a gaming lounge with 15 stations and two race simulators, a main-deck dining hall for 54, and accommodations for up to 26 guests supported by 37 crew.
  • A hybrid diesel-electric system with battery storage was engineered to minimize noise and vibration, enabling silent nighttime operation after successful sea trials in August.
  • Facilities replace a traditional beach club with a dive center, laboratory, hospital, and a 3-D printing workshop, reflecting Newell’s plan to support marine research.
