I'm gonna need a bigger boat! Steven Spielberg is selling his £120million, 282ft mega yacht because it is 'too small'
- Hollywood director Steven Spielberg is having a new boat built for £160m
- Mogul claims that his current £120 million, 282ft megayacht is 'too small'
- Seven Seas boasts infinity pool, movie screen, seven suites and more
- But his new yacht will be just 18ft longer at 300ft for an extra £40million
It's one of the most famous lines in movie history.
And now – 40 years after Roy Scheider exclaimed, ‘We’re gonna need a bigger boat’ in Jaws – it seems the film’s director Steven Spielberg has taken the sentiment very firmly to heart.
The 68-year-old has announced he is selling his £120 million, 282ft megayacht The Seven Seas... because it is too small. Instead, the Hollywood mogul is having a new boat built, for £160 million.
Steven Spielberg has announced he is selling his £120 million, 282ft megayacht The Seven Seas
The Seven Seas designed by Nuvolari Lenard and crafted by Dutch shipbuilder Oceanco, already boasts an infinity pool with 15ft glass wall doubling as a movie screen
It has a sophisticated interior design scheme with acres of walnut, teak and rosewood and accommodation and luxury amenities for 12 guests along with a crew of 26
The yacht also has seven suites for up to 12 guests, a helicopter landing pad, gym, spa, and massage room
This latest yacht will be just 18ft longer at 300ft, leading some onlookers to question if he needs a new boat at all.
The Seven Seas, which was designed by Nuvolari Lenard and crafted by Dutch shipbuilder Oceanco, already boasts an infinity pool with 15ft glass wall doubling as a movie screen, seven suites for up to 12 guests, a helicopter landing pad, gym, spa, and massage room.
In 2013, the director, his wife Kate Capshaw, 61, and their seven children took the yacht on a 30,000-mile round-the-world cruise, stopping at some of his most notable film locations. They included Shanghai where he shot Empire Of The Sun and Hawaii where he made Jurassic Park.
Earlier this month, Spielberg was spotted enjoying the sights of Portofino, Italy, from his yacht with his faithful dog on Tuesday

Spielberg is currently renting it out for about £800,000 a week – making it one of the world’s most expensive charters.
A friend said: ‘Steven didn’t realise how much he’d enjoy cruising the ocean. Now he’d like to spend more time exploring the seas, and bring a few friends along for the ride. So he’s upgrading to a bigger yacht.’
Despite his love of the water, Spielberg has confessed this was not always the case: ‘I’m not really an ocean lover. I’ve always been a little afraid of the ocean.’
The director did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
