If you're in the market for a shiny new toy, Eric Schmidt's superyacht is for sale.

Whisper, which the billionaire former Google CEO purchased from Shahid Khan in 2023, is listed for $172.5 million.

Built by the German shipyard Lürssen, which also constructed David Geffen's Rising Sun, Whisper measures 95 meters long.

Spread over five decks, it features a master cabin with a fireplace, a spa with a cold plunge and steam room, a movie theater, and a swimming pool.

It comes equipped with Jet Skis, wakeboards, and kayaks.

The megayacht fits 12 guests and a 27-person crew — a comfortable ratio — and can entertain many more, with its charter brochure boasting that "Whisper can — and has — hosted the largest parties." "Fusing high glamour with a guest-centric, service-oriented layout, Whisper's five larger-than-life decks contain every amenity you could possibly need for a fun-packed week at sea," it says.

Originally built for Jacksonville Jaguar-owner Khan, the yacht was delivered as Kismet in 2014.

It was listed for $161 million when Schmidt purchased it three years ago, and a retrofit was completed last year.

Whisper was built as Kismet for billionaire Shahid Kahn.
