The 57-metre superyacht VOLPINI 2, owned by Australian logistics billionaire Lindsay Fox, has been spotted anchored off Mellieħa.
Now 89, Fox is one of Australia’s best-known self-made billionaires, having left school at 16 and bought his first truck at 19 before building Linfox into an Asia-Pacific logistics giant employing more than 24,000 people.
Built by renowned Dutch shipyard Amels and delivered in 2018, the almost 190-foot yacht was designed by celebrated British yacht designer Tim Heywood, with interiors by Reymond Langton Design.
VOLPINI 2 is particularly notable for its technological credentials. At the time of delivery, it became the world’s first new-build superyacht compliant with IMO Tier III emissions regulations, as well as the first yacht delivered with Amels’ hybrid power technology.
The vessel accommodates up to 12 guests and has a range of around 4,500 nautical miles.
Industry estimates have placed the yacht’s value at around €60 million to €70 million, although no official valuation has been disclosed.
Its appearance off Mellieħa adds another notable name to the impressive collection of superyachts visiting Maltese waters during the summer season.
