The support boat for a superyacht owned by Mark Zuckerberg was recently spotted in Greece and it’s so big it made an 18-wheeler look like a toy.
The 219-foot support vessel was built in 2014 by Damen.
The boat was recently seen at the Port of Corinth in Greece where it drew plenty of attention from locals.
Photos posted online show the boat docked near an 18-wheeler, which looks tiny by comparison.

While undeniably huge, Wingman is a little under half the size of the Launchpad superyacht.
The boat measures around 219 feet (67 meters) and is not the only support vessel Mark Zuckerberg owns; he’s also reportedly recently snapped up a $100 million shadow vessel that used to belong to Jeff Bezos.
Wingman was originally owned by Gabe Newell, who co-founded the Valve video game company, before being bought by Zuckerberg.
Wingman is used as a support or shadow vessel for the 387-foot (117 meters) Launchpad superyacht and is on hand to deliver supplies, equipment, and crew support to the bigger boat.
It reportedly cost around $30 million and has a cruise speed of 18 knots, which means it’s able to keep pace with the much larger Launchpad.
It also has a range of more than 3,000 nautical miles, making it the ideal choice for a support vessel.
The boat is supported by a crew of 20 and is used to store toys and tenders, like jet skis and scuba equipment. There’s even rumors it could house a submersible.
Despite it ‘only’ being a support boat, Wingman is kitted out to the sort of high-standard you’d expect for its billionaire owner with top-notch amenities for the crew.
The boat was recently seen at Greece’s Port of Corinth for refueling, but has since moved.
However, it’s safe to say that its pit stop didn’t go unnoticed.
There was no sign of Zuckerberg, but the boat alone was enough to attract plenty of attention from passersby.
Local photographers Vassilis & Valerie took several snaps of the boat while it was at the port.
Images taken by Vassilis & Valerie show the boat docked for refueling alongside an 18-wheeler that looks more like a toy truck next to the huge boat.
