According to the SuperYachtfan website, Google co-founder Larry Page bought the expedition vessel in 2011 from New Zealand multi-millionaire Sir Douglas Myers, the long-time chief executive of Lion Breweries and Lion Nathan who passed away in 2017. Google co-founder Larry Page formerly owned Senses but is believed to have sold it last year. Redpath was confident the vessel would be back in Whangārei waters for future refits if progress continued as expected.
