Unlike some of her jumbo-size predecessors, 454-foot Rising Sun is no
commercial vessel masquerading as a yacht, but rather a stunning achievement
reflecting the highest standards of yacht design and construction. A strikingly
masculine thoroughbred, she is a fitting tribute to the iconic design talent of
the late Jon Bannenberg, who masterfully interpreted owner Larry Ellison’s brief
for a modern vessel inspired by the great ocean liners of the 1930s and ’40s.
Rising Sun is enormous, but every inch impresses. Her machinery spaces
are as beautifully finished as her sophisticated, semi-minimalist interior.
Wide, elegant side decks, an extravagant open foredeck and spectacular aft
terraces make the statement that even on such a large yacht, the most lavish
feature is uncluttered space. She also offers 28-knot top speed, superlative
crew quarters and service access, a fleet of custom tenders, awesome interior
views from curved floor-to-ceiling windows, and quite likely more custom
stainless detailing than even the loveliest and largest liners of yesteryear.
Rising Sun not only is the longest private yacht ever built, but she also
sets the standard for every luxury yacht that will follow in her wake.
