Mystery Kiwi buys Hart yacht

Billionaire Graeme Hart's $21.4 million Princess superyacht Odyssey has been bought by a New Zealand businessman.

The sleek 40.2-metre vessel has been in the Mediterranean but is due back in Auckland in the New Year, in time for America's Cup viewing.

Odyssey can accommodate up to 12 guests in five cabins, all with en suites, and seven crew. The cabins include two full-beam staterooms and a VIP suite featuring super-king beds with leather-topped bedside tables, and a spa bath and underfloor heating in each bathroom.

The highly specced vessel was built in the UK in 2015 and designed by superyacht expert Bernard Olesinski. The Fendi Casa interior oozes luxury, with walnut finishing, immaculate polished floors and lush carpeting.

The superyacht has generous lounge areas, formal dining for 10 inside and al fresco dining for 10 on the upper deck.

Outside it features multiple sun-deck spaces and a spa pool. The stern door drops down to create a teak-laid bathing platform at sea level, with access to a floating swimming pool. Toys stored in the garage include two tenders and a jet ski.

The Princess vessel, originally christened Anka and with a teal-coloured hull, was repainted dark blue after Hart bought it. The superyacht went up for sale last May with an asking price of $21.4m. Odyssey sold in November for an undisclosed price to a New Zealand businessman the Herald has agreed not to name.

Hart, 65, has made something of a money-making hobby in either building, or buying and refitting enormous superyachts in the past few years. So far he's owned three superyachts called Ulysses - a 57.6m vessel he renamed, and another two -107m and 116m - he had built in Norway. He also owned the 77m superyacht Weta.

He has another superyacht called Odyssey, originally named J'Ade when Hart bought it last year. The 57m vessel has undergone a refit at Whangarei and is now in the Bay of Islands.

Hart, New Zealand's richest man, owns private equity firm Rank Group, and global packaging, food and beverage giant Reynolds Group.

Mercury loving Kiwi mags

It's now four months since publicity-shy Mercury Capital took ownership of a portfolio of iconic NZ magazines previously owned by German multimedia company Bauer.

The Insider understands Mercury - chaired by expat Kiwi Clark Perkins - is very happy with the way the deal has turned out, having paid just $15m for the New Zealand titles.

This figure has never been released publicly, and sources close to the business say Mercury believes the investment has paid for itself already.

Since the end of the lockdown, magazines have returned to supermarket shelves and with it at least some of the advertising revenue that had dried up.

Mercury, whose directors include Sky TV founder Craig Heatley, has a secret weapon in that it also owns Blue Star Group, which includes Webstar - the printer of many Bauer titles - so it's making the most of it.

The New Zealand portfolio of magazines now trades under the banner Are Media and consists of flagship titles Woman's Day, New Zealand Woman's Weekly, and The Australian Women's Weekly NZ, along with home category leader Your Home & Garden, current affairs weekly NZ Listener and Air New Zealand's award-winning magazine Kia Ora. It also includes websites Now to Love, Homes to Love and Beauty Heaven as well as real estate publication Property Press.

Popular titles not included in the portfolio are North & South, now owned by journalists Konstantin Richter and Verena Friederike Hasel, and Metro, which was acquired by businessman Simon Chesterman.

Reports out of Australia have suggested the full portfolio across both sides of the Tasman set Mercury back A$50m - pocket change compared to the A$525m Bauer paid for the properties in 2012.

My consultancy is bigger than your consultancy

Auckland Council's reception lounge hosted an unusually corporate boasting match this week, as the mayor and councillors keenly measured the size of consultancies in a contest to prove that bigger is better.

The arena was the finance and performance committee where a usually pro-forma review of treasury policies had become charged after revelations the council's use of interest rate swaps to cap its cost of debt has seen its books take a $2.7b hit as interest rates trended - seemingly inexorably - downwards.

Bright-eyed PWC partner Alex Wondergem presented and gave evidence that the council's position was "vanilla", "very consistent with best practice", and its interest rate swaps were used "to provide certainty and security over outcomes".

Auckland Mayor Phil Goff

Goff could not resist getting out his measuring tape: "I think PWC employs more than a quarter of a million people around the world, I'm not quite sure how many people Rodney Jones employs."

Economist Jones, and his Wigram capital, had appeared in the Herald the week prior arguing the council's ballooning swaps liability represented a "disaster" for ratepayers.

Councillor Chris Darby attempted to drag discussions away from crude size and back towards ideas, but made matters worse by describing Wigram as "quite a small provincial company of just four people".

For the record: Wigram is a macro advisory firm based largely in Auckland, and employs 15 staff including a number of data science PhDs who provided early modelling of Covid spread for the Beehive from January. Jones, it's founder, was until recently based in Beijing providing advice on the Chinese banking system and has tended to appear more in the pages of the Financial Times than the New Zealand Herald.

Goff trumpeted Wondergem's endorsement that showed "this is not a disaster, this is not incompetent, this is an orthodox - maybe a little conservative - way of managing your risks" and described the PWC partner's perspective as "a third-party independent expert view".

No mention was made, however, of Wondergem's position on the council's Treasury Management Steering Committee, having recently replaced fellow PWC partner Stuart Henderson. This steering committee was the very body which made the hedging decisions council was seeking assurances over.

EYOS & OCEEF present RV Odyssey

Eyos expeditions has partnered with ocean conservation exploration and education foundation (oceef) to redefine immersive exploration….

Image for article EYOS & OCEEF present RV Odyssey

EYOS Expeditions has partnered with Ocean Conservation Exploration and Education Foundation (OCEEF), an organization to educate the world about the ocean through immersive, data-collecting missions aboard OCEEF’s research yacht, RV Odyssey (formerly the MV Alucia .) The advanced vessel will circumnavigate the world with missions in Antarctica, the Chagos Archipelago, the Galapagos and other remote destinations, where they will explore aquatic ecosystems high in biodiversity alongside top scientists, explorers, students, and educators.

EYOS and OCEEF have expressed a shared mission to leverage exploration to drive greater awareness about the Earth’s oceans. EYOS Founding Partner Rob McCallum says: “Working with OCEEF in this way is a natural complement to EYOS’ last few years leading and managing the Five Deeps and Ring of Fire expeditions that dove the Challenger Deep and previously unseen deepsea environments. Odyssey represents the new frontier of expedition travel, mixing cutting-edge science, with adventure travel and expedition cruising. The opportunity and potential for further discovery with this vessel’s program are immense, and it will be tremendously exciting for all those fortunate enough to be onboard.”

odyssey superyacht owner

EYOS founders Rob McCallum & Tim Soper have been at the forefront of deep ocean exploration and combining science with private travel for decades, and the company holds several world records and has been instrumental in numerous scientific discoveries. On the exclusive missions aboard the RV Odyssey, EYOS will provide logistical support and expedition leadership, empowering guests to fully take part in this most innovative opportunity in superyacht travel.

Alex Moukas, Founder of OCEEF, adds, “We are very excited to be partnering with EYOS in such a meaningful way. OCEEF’s goal is to provide world-class scientists with free access to the vessel and help them design impactful missions. EYOS can help match the scientists and locations with Ocean and Expedition enthusiasts that make these incredible missions possible. We are looking forward to continuing to bring passionate citizen scientists unmatched experiences on and below the world’s oceans.”

 RV Odyssey (formerly the MV Alucia ) is also a pioneer in underwater exploration in its own right. It launched the French submersible Nautile on the first dives on the Titanic in 1987; participated in the successful search for the black box of Air France flight 447; supported the first filming of the giant squid in the wild with former owner OceanX, and hosted David Attenborough among other luminaries in science and conservation. 

odyssey superyacht owner

EYOS founders McCallum and Soper were instrumental in her design and build during the vessel’s four-year conversion from RV Nadir to MV Alucia . McCallum says, “When its conversion was complete in 2011, it was the world’s first hybrid ship outfitted with multiple submersibles, hangared helicopters, world class SCUBA facilities, ocean mapping, and multiple science laboratories. She was one of the most capable expedition yachts afloat– and her current mission with OCEEF is exactly what we had in mind for her all those years ago.” Today, she can accommodate a helicopter, and is equipped with two Triton submersibles , one of which can dive to a depth of 7,500 feet.

Through cutting-edge technology like gamified ocean-learning experiences, OCEEF’s RV Odyssey hopes to engage with millions of children and young adults as it circumnavigates the globe. Empowering the next generation of ocean explorers and conservationists, students will join scientists in an immersive undersea experience as they discover new species, learn the importance of ocean conservation, and share their findings in real time with participants around the world.

Over the next year, the RV Odyssey will embark on a series of first-of-its-kind missions, offering an exclusive 360-degree adventure that will help drive education and a better understanding of our oceans.  These immersive adventures include studying mesophotic coral reef ecosystems in the Chagos Archipelago, seeking the killer whales that attack great white sharks off the coast of Cape Town, documenting hydrothermal vents on Antarctica’s Deception Island, participating in threatened species recovery studies in the Galapagos, and journeying around the Mediterranean—from Sardinia and Sicily to Crete and Santorini—and discover ancient Roman and Greek triremes (triple-decker warships).

OCEEF invites travellers to support its missions in Antarctica this winter season by travelling aboard RV Odyssey for the most exclusive experience possible - a firsthand look at the very research participants are helping support. With a tax-deductible donation of $150,000, donors and their friends or family members can be invited onboard the RV Odyssey and join the crew of scientists, expedition leaders, and students to experience life onboard.

As RV Odyssey is classified as a research vessel, in cooperation with researchers on-board and local communities, OCEEF is able to get Special Research Permits and conduct operations in unique locations that are typically closed to all other visitors.

100 per cent of the proceeds go to supporting the research and educational mission of OCEEF– whether searching for the Colossal Squid in the deepest parts of the Antarctic or analyzing hydrothermal vents on Antarctica’s most active volcano. In addition, OCEEF supports ongoing scientific studies and scholarships for local communities and students - ensuring a long-lasting impact on the future of ocean conservation
