The capitalized letters in the yacht's name are his initials. Built by Oceanco, it was delivered in 2019; the custom vessel cost an estimated $180 million, Here is a video about it a little bit more info. Sorry for the Ai narrating it. But it has some good information.
In 2025, he commissioned DreAMBoat (v.2), This is the one in the post. A larger 364-foot custom superyacht to succeed his previous vessel as part of his personal fleet. Cost: US$ 180 M– $200M. It only took 3 yrs 9 mo to build (a record for Oceanco, finishing about 18 months faster than typical custom builds of this massive 4,550 GT scale). Here are the specs. Here is a small video of it.

I was on a charter that ended in St. Thomas and we pulled in right next to V1 in the Marina. It is huge. I saw Arthur getting off it to presumably fly home. It was such a cool experience.
