Crypto Cruise Ship ‘Satoshi’Ocean Builders, a company that builds “seapods” or floating homes for seasteaders, has unveiled “The Crypto Cruise Ship” called Satoshi. It is being prepared to set sail from the Mediterranean and will anchor in the Gulf of Panama.
The Crypto Cruise Ship Satoshi is 811 feet long with 12 decks and 777 cabins to be auctioned off as condos. It will have three restaurants, a juice bar, two cafes, three bars, two pools, four whirlpools, a water park, and more, Ocean Builders’ website details. Bitcoin will be accepted throughout the ship for all goods and services, alongside U.S. dollars and other forms of payment.
According to the Maritime Executive publication, the Crypto Cruise Ship Satoshi was formerly a cruise ship called the “Pacific Dawn” by P&O Cruises Australia. Built in 1991, it has been operating with Princess Cruises and P&O Australia. P&O’s parent company, Carnival Corporation, recently sold the ship as its business was affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
American bitcoin entrepreneur Chad Elwartowski, COO of Ocean Builders, says that his company is scheduled to take delivery of the cruise ship on Nov. 4 in the Mediterranean. The ship will subsequently be renamed to Satoshi, after Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin.
Elwartowski has been a pioneer in seasteading. Last year, he and his Thai girlfriend got into trouble with the government of Thailand while occupying a sea home off the coast of Phuket. The Thai government accused the couple of violating the country’s sovereignty and the Thai Navy seized their home and issued arrest warrants for both of them.
Regarding the Crypto Cruise Ship Satoshi, Elwartowski was quoted as saying: “We look forward to creating a hub for technology and innovation here in Panama. Our goal is to figure out how to live sustainably on the sea and chart new waters in this new frontier.” In addition to permanent residential units, Ocean Builders says that vacation rentals will also be available on the ship.
Registration has already opened and auctions for the cabins are scheduled to take place between Nov. 5 and Nov. 28. According to Ocean Builders, the move-in date will be in January next year. Buyers will acquire full ownership of their cabins and will be required to pay a monthly fee to cover operating expenses. The publication added that the first sale will be for 200 cabins, tentatively priced between $25,000 and $50,000.
