Eos (yacht)

The Eos is a three masted Bermuda rigged schooner sailing luxury yacht, currently owned by Barry Diller. It is one of the largest - if not "the" largest private sailing yacht in the world, its overall length measuring approximately 305 feet (93 m). It was launched in Germany from the Lürssen yard in 2006 after being designed by Bill Langan, with Rondal/Huisman supplying the rig, and the naval architecture being completed by the Lürssen team. The interior was designed by François Catroux.

The yacht has been docked in Venice since July 2008.
