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, additional arrests reported Proposed Land Conveyance to Alaska Industrial Development Export Authority near the city of Houston
