Small cruise ship rescued skiff in south-east Alaska even though Meta billionaire’s $300m megayacht was closer Mark “Meta Pervert-Glasses” Zuckerberg has faced questions over why a small cruise ship in south-east Alaska rescued a stranded skiff and its crew when his 387ft superyacht had been closer. The Silicon Valley billionaire’s yacht, worth a reported $300m, is said to have “repeatedly” declined to assist when a nearby boat called for help last week. Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook and Instagram owner Meta Platforms, was not on board at the time, a spokesperson told Forbes. When a nearby 21ft skiff ran out of fuel between Petersburg and Juneau, the Alaska Beacon reported operators of a cruise ship that was further away than Zuckerberg’s yacht came to the rescue. “I’m on a small-ship Alaska cruise with my son,” a passenger on the UnCruise Adventures ship Wilderness Legacy posted on Bluesky. “Our boat rescued a stranded vessel last night and apparently we did that after the Coast Guard radioed Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht – which was closer – and they repeatedly refused to respond. (There was near unanimous booing when the captain announced this).” Source: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/09/zuckerberg-superyacht-boat-alaska Post navigation Drugs, stolen I.D. recovered in Big Lake investigation of Jonathan Meeks Proposed Land Conveyance to Alaska Industrial Development Export Authority near the city of Houston
