That construction/mast/whatever you call it on the bow surely doesn't add to the looks Apart from that though - yes, a masterpiece
WOW! my boat looks right at home with these guys! NOT! Well, at least mine you don't need a tanker to fill it up! Anyone wanna trade? Image Unavailable, Please Login
It would be pretty cool to have one, but I just couldn't see justifying that purchase. How often do these things get used? I understand money is no object to these owners, but I don't think you could even charter these boats out since their massive size is useless and too costly on a weekly basis for someone. Chartering to corporations would seem a little more likely, but how frequent would that happen? They look nice, though. ~170ft and less would probably make a little more economical sense.
The 2nd pic down, (the big blue one named Octopus) is owned by Microsoft guru Paul Allen. More info on Octopus and a PPS pic download, click here. It is awesome! http://www.yachtcrew-cv.com/paulallen.htm
All these yacths give me a major chubb btw......... How can one justify spending the money and the sheer uselessness of owning such a large boat is beyond me. They reckon "he who dies with the most toys win". I think that applies here.

The Octopus still gets my vote. Awesome adventure / explorer yacht. I created a megayacht thread on Fchat a little while back. I'm surprised there aren't more.
Photos do not do Lady Moura justice. I have seen her from the dock and and the size breathtaking. To put her in perspective, there were yachts docked near her with heilcopters as well that looked like they could serve as her dingy. Also of note, helicopters are not allowed to land in the harbor thus Lady Moura takes fairly frequent short trips. FYI....if you plan on taking a yacht to Monaco, just remember their definition and yours may be slightly different.
Yes she is impressive, heres a shot of her and another yacht i took in Monaco last April. I was led to believe that she belonged to Roman Abramovich, but i guess thats wrong. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
the lady moura belongs to a saudi man, i believe he's a lawyer but dont hold me to it. Im 100% sure he's saudi because I saw the boat in monaco when we were on a yacht of one of our saudi friends
When you need a place to land your chopper...geez This is Roman Abromavich's little old thing "Pelorus" Image Unavailable, Please Login
