What are superyachts for?
Superyachts are large, luxurious private vessels, often owned by very wealthy individuals. They represent significant wealth and are used for leisure, travel, and sometimes as a status symbol. In this story, the focus is on 'Launchpad', Mark Zuckerberg's superyacht, which was involved in the incident, rather than its typical use for pleasure cruising.
