Mark Zuckerberg's $300m Yacht Booed Over Rescue Call; Clarification Issued Mark Zuckerberg's $300 million superyacht, Launchpad, was at the center of a controversy in Alaska last Monday evening when it failed to respond to a distress call from a stranded boat.
The incident has sparked widespread criticism on social media. A 21 foot skiff had run out of fuel while traveling between Juneau and Petersburg, prompting a marine assistance request from the US Coast Guard.
The Wilderness Legacy, a cruise ship operated by UnCruise Adventures, responded to the call for help and towed the stranded boat safely back to Farragut Bay.
