Zara Founder’s 92-Metre Superyacht Drizzle Spotted in Elba
The Island of Elba has once again drawn attention from the world of luxury yachting, following the arrival of Drizzle, the 91.8-metre superyacht associated with Amancio Ortega, founder of the Zara fashion empire.
According to Italian media, the yacht entered the Darsena Medicea in Portoferraio on 28 June 2026, becoming one of the latest major superyachts to visit the Tuscan island this summer. Its arrival follows a series of high-profile yacht sightings around Elba, reinforcing the island’s growing appeal as a destination for luxury cruising.
Built by renowned Dutch shipyard Feadship and delivered in 2024, Drizzle is a custom motor yacht that combines modern-classic exterior styling with advanced onboard technology. The yacht is also notable for being Feadship’s first vessel to carry full Hybrid Electric Class notation, highlighting the increasing importance of more efficient propulsion systems within the superyacht sector.
At almost 92 metres in length, Drizzle offers the scale and sophistication expected of a world-class superyacht, while its design places emphasis on family living, comfort and understated luxury. Reported features include a beach club, swimming pool, spa facilities and generous tender storage, creating a yacht designed for both relaxation and extended life at sea.
The yacht’s presence in Elba also reflects a wider Mediterranean trend. From the Balearics and Sardinia to Sicily, Malta and the Tuscan coast, high-profile yachts continue to seek destinations that offer natural beauty, privacy and authentic coastal experiences.
For the yachting industry, Drizzle is more than a striking arrival in an Italian harbour. It represents the direction in which luxury yacht design is heading: larger, more personal, more technically advanced and increasingly shaped by the owner’s lifestyle.
