Inside the 'Fly Fleet': billionaire Google founder Sergey Brin's growing flotilla of megayachts, boats, and jet skis
Along with Butterfly, which often docks in Redwood City, California, Brin maintains a growing flotilla of yachts, jet skis, and skiffs.According to people close to Brin, the Fly Fleet consists of three major vessels and a coterie of small craft and water-sports equipment. First, there's Dragonfly — a 73-meter flagship yacht that features a helipad and movie theater and"fastest, most fuel-efficient long-range cruising superyacht on the water.
Rounding out the main trio is a smaller pleasure craft called Firefly, the lowest profile of the three vessels. To maintain the fleet, Brin employs a 50-person team around the globe, led by the master mariner Mike Gregory.Many of Brin's smaller water-sports toys — as well as Page's — have been supplied by Kai Concepts, a startup that builds high-tech aquatic vehicles, including foilboards and a kite-propelled boat.
