It looks like Sergey Brin, the billionaire Google cofounder, is reducing his Fly Fleet.

Dragonfly, his 73-meter-long superyacht, has been listed for sale with an asking price of about $30 million and was on display at the Monaco Yacht Show this past weekend and is being listed by brokerage Y.CO.

Brin, who is worth $140 billion, according to Bloomberg, owns a veritable armada. There’s Butterfly, a 38-meter-long yacht often kept in the Bay Area; a smaller boat called Firefly; and several toys, including Jet Skis, foilboards, dinghies, and kiteboards. He keeps a team of 50 people on payroll to maintain the collection.

Dragonfly, named after a once-secret Google product, is the largest of the flotilla.

There’s room for 18 guests and 18 crew members among the various cabins, which include a principal cabin with a lounge, bathroom, and dressing room. In terms of features, there’s a helipad, jacuzzi, sauna, gym, and outdoor movie theater. Based on promotional photos and videos, it looks like she’s also equipped with paddleboards, Jet Skis, eFoils, and wakeboards.

As befitting a tech titan, the yacht was ahead of her time when she launched in 2009 and was lauded by the industry for both her speed and fuel efficiency. She has since been refurbished, with new engines installed in 2022.

Dragonfly was designed by Espen Øino, the prolific architect who has designed many superyachts for the uberwealthy. His clientele has included Shahid Khan, Paul Allen, and a handful of Russian oligarchs.

While she’s currently docked in Antibes, Dragonfly has traveled around the world, including to Vanuatu in the South Pacific, where she was deployed during Cyclone Pam in 2015 to aid with disaster relief.

Since stepping down from Alphabet in 2019, Brin has seemed to enjoy his high-flying life. He’s island-hopped throughout the Pacific, frequented Burning Man, and made several high-profile party appearances.

His team did not respond to a request for comment asking why he’s selling the yacht — or if he’s replacing her with another — but if he does, chances are he will go for a bigger boat.
