Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is facing questions after his $300 million superyacht did not rush to assist passengers stranded aboard a boat in Alaskan waters, according to a report. (@BradPorcellato) August 10, 2026The captain said Zuckerberg’s superyacht had been closer to the stranded skiff but had “refused” to help. Vessel tracking services indicated that Wilderness Legacy was farther from the stranded skiff than Zuckerberg’s superyacht at that time, according to the Beacon. “As the Coast Guard noted, the boat was not in distress, and by the time the crew reviewed the Coast Guard contact on a different radio channel from the one they were operating on, the assist was already underway. While the cruise captain reportedly said the superyacht had “refused” to help, Zuckerberg’s spokesperson said the crew did not see the Coast Guard contact in time.
