The super yacht was constructed by Dutch building company Oceanco and set sail in 2022.
Oceanco said it is the company’s largest motor yacht to date and is the largest yacht ever built in the Netherlands.

The yacht has seven decks, a wellness area that includes a spa, sauna, gym, and yoga studio, and there’s space for up to 16 guests.
Superyacht Times said the Infinity has a maximum speed of 18.5 knots, slightly slower than its support vessel which can reach 20 knots although it is smaller with a length of 69.15m.
Smidt’s Infinity is valued at about $521 million (US$300m), making it the most expensive yacht docked in Auckland since Australian billionaire James Packer’s IJE, which is reportedly valued at $357m.
