A man has been arrested after allegedly sneaking aboard a yacht owned by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, which was docked along the Embarcadero in San Francisco. Harbor police responded to reports of an unauthorized individual aboard one of Zuckerberg’s multimillion-dollar megayachts on Tuesday night, quickly apprehending the suspect before any further incident occurred.
The suspect, whose name has not yet been released, was detained by harbor police after being discovered aboard the vessel, which is part of Zuckerberg’s luxury fleet. The exact motive for the trespassing remains unclear, though authorities are investigating whether the man intended to commit theft or if it was a random act of trespass.
According to witnesses, the man was seen scaling a barrier near the dock before making his way onto the yacht. Harbor police were alerted by security personnel and arrived on the scene within minutes. The suspect was taken into custody without resistance and is expected to face charges of trespassing and possibly burglary.
Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta (formerly Facebook), owns several high-end yachts, known for their size and state-of-the-art technology. The specific vessel involved in this incident is reportedly one of his more prominent megayachts, drawing significant attention due to its luxury features and association with one of the world’s wealthiest individuals.
The incident has raised concerns about the security of high-profile individuals in San Francisco, particularly along the Embarcadero, which is a popular area for tourists and locals. Zuckerberg, known for maintaining a relatively private personal life despite his high-profile position, has yet to comment on the incident.
Local law enforcement is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the trespassing, while the suspect remains in custody awaiting formal charges. The yacht, which remained undamaged, has since been secured by additional security measures.
This isn’t the first time a high-profile figure has faced such security breaches in San Francisco, but the incident has prompted discussions about the safety protocols for the city’s harbor area and the precautions needed for high-profile yachts and luxury vessels.
