Another story says the sails are so big there isn’t room to land a helicopter on the ship so Bezos will have a support yacht trail the ship for helicopter access.
Support yacht is the wealthiest thing I’ve ever heard.
These are called yacht tenders. They carry supplies for the “boss”. Extra food, equipment, cleaning staff etc, things that are unsightly but necessary for the main yacht operation. They generally stay out of sight, approaching as needed. They can be quite elegant and yacht like.
That’s totally true, but I haven’t seen too many tenders with their own helipads - but then again, I don’t hang with billionaires all that much.
They rarely have helipads. Helicopters are very noisy. You don’t do noise when the boss is around. Only boss makes noise when he/she takes off in his/hers helicopter. If the supply heli can’t take off from the boss’s yacht, he/she can’t land and that will never do.
