From games and jacuzzi to science gabe newell showcases his 500 million yacht leviathan from the slipways of his own shipyard

The Dutch shipyard Oceanco put out a promo tour of the $500M yacht "Leviathan" — yes, the very one Gabe Newell has owned since November 2025. The nobleman and connoisseur was reportedly so taken by the project, "representing a new philosophy of yachting", that in August of the same year he simply bought the entire company outright.

The 111 m motor yacht accommodates 26 guests in 11 cabins and carries 37 crew; it's packed with features, some expected, some over the top:

  • conference rooms
  • game room with 15 laptops + 2 racing simulators
  • spa / sauna / rooftop jacuzzi
  • galley
  • underwater lighting
  • gym
  • basketball court
  • onboard hospital w/ on-duty nurse
  • satcom and Wi‑Fi

Also onboard: a 3D-print workshop, labs, diving equipment and the kit needed for scientific work at sea.

Built with a steel hull, an aluminum superstructure and composite decks, the Leviathan can reach speeds up to ~17 kts.
