The Drizzle of Amancio Ortega reappears in Corsica with 92 meters and unique hybrid propulsion

The superyacht Drizzle, attributed to Amancio Ortega, once again impresses the Costa Smeralda, with its 91.8 meters and pioneering hybrid propulsion. This imposing vessel, delivered in 2024 by Feadship, is more than just a luxury item; it is a technological and design symbol that captures all summer gazes in the Mediterranean.

With a combination of size, design, and technical innovation, the Drizzle is not just a superyacht, but a statement about how to sail with style and environmental awareness. But what really makes it special beyond its length? Let’s take a closer look.

The dimensions and design that make Drizzle a giant of the sea

What are Drizzle’s main measurements and characteristics?

The Drizzle measures exactly 91.8 meters in length, with a beam of 14.5 meters and a draft of 3.9 meters. Its gross tonnage is 2,965 GT, which clearly places it among the largest and most luxurious superyachts.

Its steel hull and aluminum superstructure create an imposing profile, with a style that combines dark blue, teak decks, and several decks with spaces designed for family comfort. The fuel storage capacity reaches 253,800 liters, and fresh water 66,400 liters, ensuring remarkable autonomy.

Who is behind its design and how has it been conceived for family use?

The exterior design was the work of Sinot Yacht Architecture, who also collaborated on the interiors with Elsa Urquijo. Naval planning was carried out by De Voogt Naval Architects.

The project started from a regular Feadship client, experienced in sailing, who wanted cozy and understated spaces for family use. This combination of functionality and luxury is what makes Drizzle a unique superyacht in its category.

A price and ownership shrouded in mystery and media speculation

How much is Drizzle really worth and what is known about its owner?

The estimated price of Drizzle is around 300 million dollars, a figure that varies according to conversions and sources, and has never been officially confirmed by Feadship. This amount is based on market valuations and not on official rates.

Additionally, ownership is kept formally anonymous, although many specialized media attribute the superyacht to Amancio Ortega, founder of Zara and known for his international wealth. Feadship, however, avoids confirming this information, leaving it in the realm of journalistic speculation.

Why is this discretion common with superyachts of this level?

The private and customized construction of superyachts like Drizzle usually involves a high degree of confidentiality to protect both security and the image of clients. This means that much of the information about owners and costs is accessible only through unofficial sources.

Hybrid propulsion: technology that makes a difference at sea

What advantages does Drizzle’s hybrid propulsion system offer?

Drizzle stands out for its Hybrid Electric Class rating, combining two MTU engines, three Caterpillar generators, and batteries with 1,029 kWh. This technology allows operation in various modes to reduce noise, emissions, and consumption.

Its autonomy is approximately 5,500 nautical miles at 12 knots (about 10,186 km), which allows long voyages without constant refueling stops, a luxury in current navigation.

How does this technology translate into onboard experience and sustainability?

The hybrid system allows Drizzle to operate with less noise and vibrations, improving guest comfort. Although not fully electric, it minimizes the use of combustion engines when possible, helping reduce environmental impact without sacrificing power or autonomy.

What luxury spaces does Drizzle offer its guests?

The beach club occupies 165 square meters and can be expanded with movable platforms, while a large pool is located on the upper deck. The side garage stores two ten-meter auxiliary boats and various water equipment.

With seven suites for 14 guests and capacity for 18 crew members, Drizzle combines family spaces, wellness areas, and a master cabin for maximum comfort.

Its reappearance on the Costa Smeralda in the summer of 2026, after being seen in 2025, has sparked interest in its figure and the connection to Ortega, especially in a context where his Inditex dividends continue to make news.

The reality is that this superyacht is not only a symbol of luxury, but also an example of how innovation and design can come together for a more responsible and exclusive nautical experience.

It is clear that Drizzle is a statement of how Amancio Ortega, at 87 years old, continues to make moves in territories where few dare to advance, showing that exclusivity and sustainability can go hand in hand.

The monitoring of this type of vessels also reveals a change in luxury sector expectations: less flashy ostentation and more technology that makes life onboard more comfortable and efficient.

But above all, it reminds us that behind a 300-million-euro vessel there is always a complex story, where design, technology, and discretion combine to maintain the magic of the sea.
