Learn About Leonard DiCaprio’s Yacht: Topaz
When you think about Leonardo DiCaprio, images of an eco-conscious crusader who is out to improve the health of the planet may first emerge. Recent rumors that Leo plans to attend the 2018 World Cup events in Brazil aboard a yacht seem a bit contradictory because of the pollution that these floating luxury hotels churn into the air and water.
While some have criticized him for indulging in a bit of heaven at the expense of the planet, if he wasn’t doing it, somebody else would be. At least he’s making an attempt to help the situation when he can. All of that aside, we were curious to find out more about Leonardo DiCaprio’s Yacht, and here is what we discovered.
Leo doesn’t own the yacht
DiCaprio hasn’t actually purchased a yacht. Instead, he rented it from owner, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Mansour is a billionaire politician who is the current prime minister of the United Arab Emirates.
The mega yacht was custom built according to his grand and luxurious specifications and named the Topaz. Until recently, the interior of the yacht has remained a well-guarded secret. We’ve learned some juicy tidbits that we’re happy to share.
Specifications of the Topaz
The super yacht measures a total of 453 feet in length with a cost of more than $200 million in USD to build and an estimated value of $678 million. This isn’t the biggest yacht that Mr. DiCaprio has chartered, but it’s likely to be one of the most luxurious.
The yacht is powered by four M90 diesel engines which generate approximately 48,000 horse power. The ship made its maiden launch in 2012 and according to sources, DiCaprio also rented it in 2014 just 2 years into its service run.
The Topaz is rumored to be one of the most extravagant yachts in the world . It offers smooth sailing with the installation of zero speed stabilizers. It comes fully outfitted with lifts that ferry guests comfortably among the eight deck levels to the host of amenities that are scattered throughout the massive vessel.
It is decked out in full luxury and comfort with a cinema, two hot tubs, air conditioning throughout, three swimming pools, a fitness hall, underwater lights, an ample sized conference room and a well hidden interior design that is left up to our imaginations.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s guest list aboard the Topaz
Leo won’t be making the trip alone. We’ve learned that he has a list of guests that will accompany him on thee yacht as he enjoys the football tournament in Brazil.
There were 21 of his friends, all of millionaire status mind you, invited to enjoy the amenities. It’s been reported that DiCaprio and his pals hopped a jet and flew to Rio de Janeiro to arrive one day prior to kick off of the Brazil World cup.
The controversy the rental has stirred
While some are happy that Leo had a nice luxury vacation , others are upset about the seeming nose thumb to environmentalists who think his actions are careless.
There has been a degree of judgment and sentiments of disappointment to outright damnation sent his way. Activists point out that Leo’s private jet that made thee 8000 mile trip left a hefty carbon footprint. This is besides the emissions put out from the luxury mega yacht. They’re citing his actions as not being environmentally responsible.
Why the uproar?
The backlash has come after the fact that DiCaprio made a plea to viewers to work with one another to help fight climate change when he accepted his first ever Oscar award. DiCaprio’s involvement in Hollywood environmentalism can’t be denied.
He dedicates time to fly here and there to pick up awards for his contributions to help clean up the environment, but when he flies to and fro, his carbon footprint grows.
There has been a volley of insults and comments disapproving of Leo’s actions, but isn’t this how Hollywood environmentalism works? It’s kinda tough to get to Brazil without flying or chartering a boat to take you there.
It’s a drama that has been ongoing since Leo’s plans were first revealed but it seems that he could at least score a few points for encouraging us all to make some kind of effort.
It’s not easy being the center of attention and there are times when best intentions draw a backlash of negativism, despite the fact that most of us rely on some type of carbon emitting transportation resources.

At an incredible 147.25 metres in length, it is no surprise that A+ (formerly named Topaz), a 2012 launch by German yacht-building giant Lurssen, ranks strongly in the Top 10 largest yachts in the world.
She features magnificent Disdale exterior designing and exquisite interiors crafted by the celebrated Tim Heywood Design, and at her time of building in 2012 was forecast to be 4th largest superyacht in the world.
She can house an incredible 62 guests and up to 79 crew members in her substantial accommodation. Perhaps unsurprisingly, A+ took 4 years to build and is reported to have cost over £400 million.
Her cruising speed is 19.5 knots, reaching a max of 22 knots - an impressive figure for a boat of her size.
Despite flying a Cayman Island flag, A+ belongs to Manchester City Football Club owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahnan - Emirati royalty and deputy prime minister of the UAE.
Like most royally-owned superyachts, not much is known for certain about A+ other than her basic specifications; although what is known for sure, is that this megayacht has well earned her spot as 7th largest yacht in the world.
