World's Biggest Private Yacht Lands In Marin

BELVEDERE (CBS 5) ― The Maltese Falcon, the biggest privately owned yacht in the world, sailed into the San Francisco bay on Saturday.

Considered the most technologically advanced yacht in the world, the 289-foot ship arrived as the tide was low enough to allow its 191-foot masts to clear the bridge by a mere 20 feet.

The ship is owned by Belvedere billionaire, Tom Perkins.  Its arrival is part of a gala fundraiser in Tiburon for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. 

Fundraising events include a dinner on October 4, with guest speaker Rupert Murdoch, and the Leukemia Cup Regatta on October 5, when 100 other ships will join the Maltese Falcon.

The super yacht boasts a 3-deck atrium with a circular staircase with clear glass floors, 5 staterooms, a passenger cabin, as well as a dining room and art studios.

It will be anchored off of Belvedere.
