There probably won't be too long before they launch a Versace edition with medusa heads every where. Anyhow here you have Al Salamah which a 139m long yatch. The owner is none other then prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia. ![]() ![]() ![]() As you can see it is very very big. Price? Probably a few 100 million dollars. |

It is because the Wally-founder love to sail shoeless! He doesn't want to hurt himself on leashes or edges...Great sailboats. I really love the design... |

![]() | Re: Luxury boats Hmm, how did I know that Rob will start a thread like this sooner or later? Anyway, Luwalira, Al Salamah was originally codenamed "Mipos" by its shipbuilder. The Saudis wanted it built so quickly that the shipyard, Lurssen I believe, called it Misson Impossible or Mipos. Some of these yachts have their own submarines! I'm not sure how it would work though. One article I read claimed that the subs themselves cost £10 million to construct and build into the yacht. A few of the yachts supposedly have anti-missile defence systems. Again, I think it's all James Bond fiction. I think it's unlikely that a private yacht, regardless of how rich its owner is, could have such advanced infrared systems. Where would they get that technology from? What defence contractor would license it to a privately-owned, civilian ship. I saw one picture of a megayacht where the caption read that a member of the crew was cleaning the covers for some missile intercepting rockets. Who would sell them those interceptor missiles? |
