Oceanco's 88.5 m (290 ft) Cloud 9 was delivered in 2015 as Infinity.[4] Her exterior design is the work of Espen Øino and her interior is by Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design and David Kleinberg Design Associates. The Master Suite includes a private exterior deck and whirlpool. Guest accommodations consist of two VIP suites and four spacious guest staterooms. The yacht is fitted with two 4.828 hp (3.600 kW) MTU engines and is capable of reaching speeds of 18.5 knots (34 km/h).[5]
She was sold by her first owner, Eric Smidt, to Brett Blundy, in 2022 in anticipation of the delivery of a new 117 m (384 ft) Oceanco built Infinity.[6][7] Finally, she was sold in 2023 to the famous novelist author of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling who rechristened her Samsara.[8]
