According to the New Zealand Herald, Google co-founder Larry Page just completed the purchase of a Senses, a yacht completed in 1999 by German boat-builders Schweers and redone in 2009.

Its stylish interiors are finished by famous French designer Philippe Starck and its split-level decks are home to sun-lounging areas, festooned with a multitude of deck chairs.

There are sheltered indoor and outdoor dining areas, as well as a gym and on-deck jacuzzi. The yacht can accommodate 10 guests and 14 crew members.

There are pleasure-boats of all sizes available for guests’ use and the yacht can carry a helicopter with ease.

Senses has previously been available for charter in the Seychelles Islands for $343,000 a week, not including food, drink and gas.

Page joins other super-weathly technology businessmen like Oracle’s Larry Ellison and Microsoft’s Paul Allen in the mega-yacht ownership club, though at 200 feet, Page’s boat pales in comparison.
