A £118 million superyacht owned by the former CEO of a major coffee chain has arrived at Greenock's James Watt Dock Marina.
The 254-foot vessel, named Pi, belongs to American businessman Howard Schultz – who has stood at the helm of Starbucks on three occasions.
Pi was built in 2019 by Feadship, a Dutch company that specialises in high-end luxury yachts.
The exterior was designed by Jarkko Jämsén, with the interior being credited to Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design.
It can accommodate up to 12 guests, as well as having accommodation for 18 crew members.
Pi is also listed as being the 209th largest yacht in the world.
Schultz first took on the Starbucks CEO role in 1986, with his latest stint ending in March this year. He continues to serve as chairman and a member of the Starbucks Coffee Company board.
In 2020, the 69-year-old was ranked as the 209th richest person in the world by Forbes magazine.
He was also publicly considered as an independent candidate for the 2012, 2016 and 2020 US Presidential elections.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
