Gabe Newell's 364-Foot Gigayacht Leviathan Delivered

other · 2026-05-06

Billionaire game developer Gabe Newell's 364-foot Oceanco gigayacht Leviathan was delivered in November 2025 and recently photographed in the Bahamas by Guillaume Plisson. The yacht features an unconventional interior by Mark Berryman Design that prioritizes community, with a large communal dining space for up to 54 people, a gaming lounge, basketball court, and sun deck open to both guests and crew. Newell acquired Oceanco in April 2025 and collaborated with YTMC, Y.CO, Lateral Naval Architects, and nearly 3,000 experts, whose names are engraved on a glass panel in the main staircase. Leviathan is designed for low maintenance with off-white exterior and synthetic handrails. It will be used by Newell's marine research organization Inkfish for deep-sea exploration, equipped with a dive center, laboratory, and hospital instead of a beach club, and features a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system to reduce emissions.
