Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen Took a Trip on Diane von Furstenberg's Yacht in Tahiti

There are yachts and then there are mega-yachts, and by the amount of people Diane von Fursternberg recently hosted on hers, Eos , she proved it to be the latter. The designer played host to Anderson Cooper and partner Benjamin Maisani, Andy Cohen, Bradley Cooper, Irina Shayk, Allison Williams and husband Ricky Van Veen on her yacht on a trip to Tahiti. If that sounds like a lot of people, don’t worry: Von Furstenberg’s three-masted schooner is considered the largest in the world at 305 feet long. The yacht took three years to build and was launched from the Lürssen yard in Bremen, Germany in 2006. It is valued at $150 million and can host up to 16 guests and 21 crew members at any given time.

Not much is known about the ship’s François Catrouxcan–designed interiors, but it’s said to have a glass staircase and a private Jacuzzi on the upper deck. According to Jane Croxwell , DVF's personal chef , who travels with the crew, “It’s three stories down from my kitchen with four huge walk-ins. I have a giant walk-in freezer, a giant walk-in fridge, a giant walk-in storage and a dairy fridge," adding that she has a six-burner stove and three ovens. If that much space is dedicated to food prep, we can only imagine what the rest of the space holds.

The main room can be seen in a photo posted by Cohen . Wraparound white and brown seating has been placed throughout the main cabin, and a series of slender silver lamps lines the area. A wooden staircase leads to an upper deck. Cohen also took us below deck in another snap, where two crew members gave the Bravo host a tour of the engine room. Anderson Cooper showed off the ship’s decks in a photo he posted alongside Cohen, and he wasn’t the only one to humble brag about the Tahitian scenery. Shayk posted a view of one of the beaches they stopped along and a view of the water, and DVF herself followed suit.

Ending the envy-inducing trip, DVF posted one final shot of Shayk, Bradley Cooper, Van Veen, Williams, Anderson Cooper, and Maisani, calling them, “Part of the funnest group ever!”

Fashion legend’s $150m yacht stops off in Bermuda

One of the world’s largest privately-owned yachts has docked in Bermuda.

The $150 million Eos , named after the Greek goddess of the dawn, arrived in Bermuda last Sunday and is berthed at Penno’s Wharf in St George.

The 305 feet Bermuda-rigged schooner, registered in the Cayman Islands, is owned by Diane von Furstenberg , a top fashion designer and her media mogul husband Barry Diller.

The duty officer at Harbour Radio said he believed it was the yacht’s first visit and that it would refuel and replenish its stores while in Bermuda.

Eos was built at the world famous Lürssen shipyard in Bremen, Germany and launched in 2006. Ms von Furstenberg and Mr Diller bought the yacht in 2009.

The yacht can accommodate 16 guests and has a crew of 21.

The vessel arrived in Bermuda after a five-day voyage from Balboa in Panama.

Little is known about its interior - but it is said to have a glass staircase and many other luxury features.

In this age of technology and ever-present cameras, it seems impossible to fly under the radar – even more so when you’re one half of one of the industry’s most powerful couples. But money can buy anything, including privacy, in a world that has long forgotten the meaning of the word.

Eos is one of the world’s largest and most famous sailing yachts and a record-breaker until the 2017 arrival of Oceanco’s Black Pearl, a stunning sailing masterpiece that is believed to have inspired the construction of the future record-breaker, Jeff Bezos’ Y721. Whenever Eos makes an appearance in public, much like a superstar, it draws attention and makes headlines, yet, for all this, it remains an enigma.

Here is an attempt to lift the veil as much as possible on this enigma, a $200 million vessel that is said to be the epitome of luxury, elegance and, not in the least important, outstanding design. After all, you don’t become an icon (enigma or not) by conforming to standards.

Eos is named after the Greek goddess of dawn, the daughter of titans Hyperion and Theia, and sister of the sun god and the moon goddess. Eos is a sailing yacht, a three-mast Bermuda-rigged schooner that relies on a couple of MTU 4000-series engines for outstanding performance, regardless of the wind conditions. At full throttle, Eos can hit top speeds of 16 knots (18 mph / 29.5 kph).

Built by luxury shipyard  Lurssen  on a Lurssen naval architecture, an exterior design by Bill Langan, and interiors by Francois Catroux, Eos was delivered in 2006, after a three-year construction phase. Since delivery, it has had one single owner and he’s been keeping it a secret on purpose, as it serves as the family yacht.

That owner is billionaire media mogul Barry Diller, known as  “Diller killer”  in the industry because of his exceptional negotiation skills. He is married to fashion designer (and icon in her own right) Diane von Furstenberg, who is often erroneously referred to as the owner. Together, the two have an estimated net worth of $5.2 billion as of 2022, which means that, yes, they can definitely afford a $200 million vessel, as well as keep it a secret from the public by not chartering it.

At 93 meters (305 feet) in total length, Eos is among the top 5% yachts in the world by LOA. The fact that it’s a sailing vessel would have been enough to draw all eyes to it at port, but the three 61-meter (200-foot) masts make it an unforgettable sight, as does the deep dark blue hull. Eos has a teak deck, an aluminum hull, and aluminum superstructure. Much of the superstructure was repaired after an extensive fire in 2012, when the ship was at harbor while Diller and von Furstenberg were visiting ashore.

A later refit program, throughout 2018 and 2019, was even more extensive: the Rodal rigs were removed, repaired and repainted, the hull and superstructure were repainted, the tank arrangement was reorganized and the engines were overhauled. Onboard systems like the treatment unit and the watermaker were also serviced then, and navigation systems were brought up to speed with state-of-the-art equipment.

With an interior volume of 1,500 GT, Eos offers accommodation for 14 guests across seven suites and a crew of 21 – a necessarily high number because sailing it is no single-man job. Eos was never offered for charter, though legend has it that it has hosted some of the biggest stars in the world, including Jeff Bezos on his final week as Amazon CEO in 2021, singer and actor Harry Styles, and television host and reality star producer Andy Cohen.

Because it’s always been used privately, details on the interior are as scarce as photos of the same, but again, legend has it that features a viewing lounge with panoramic views, a jacuzzi, a 4.2-meter (14-foot) mural of the world map, and a most glamorous staircase made of glass. A 2.7-meter (9-foot) tall sculpture by Anh Duong, showing Diane von Furstenberg, graces Eos as figurehead. von Furstenberg usually posts to social while onboard Eos during summer-long journeys, but she always makes sure her photos don’t show much of the interior.

In 2009, when Eos pulled into an Australian port for some maintenance work, captain Lucas Alexander told the local  media  that sailing Eos felt like living in a high-end villa at sea. He also said that the vessel never traveled by a preset itinerary, which, if true, probably helps with keeping it a mystery.
