Specification is obviously a trade secret:

If she is like the others of her size with twin 2000hp Cats, transatlantic and a bit range, you are looking at 130,000l ish. Build cost I dont know but as she was launched when new build prices were at their peak (although she would have been signed for at least 3 years previous) you can bet she wasn't cheap.
From memory, it was around that time when the million a metre applied to vessels of that size coming out of Northern Europe.

[quote=pidsy]vive la vie was commisiioned in 2008 :

nice interior!

quote]

The owner’s suite has a round shape and the bed is placed on a rotating circular platform in the centre, allowing for a selection of bed positions from night to day time mode and for adjusting ones position to make the most of spectacular views through the full height windows

smile

The interior is one of the nicest I have seen on this thread, less blingy than many

Well having spotted 'Tango' a few weeks back here in Singapore, this has just pitched up. It's too big to fit in Keppel Bay Marina so it tied up on the harbour wall and appears to be having work done - mostly sanding down from what I could tell.
I give you Vava ii ! Commissioned by the Bertarelli's from Devonport Yachts in Plymouth.
Apologies for the spy-shots but you were not allowed to get up close even though it is moored on a public mooring !








The rear section rotates out to create a swim deck.



This is where they store the motor launch - which had just been moved inside.

When did Larry Ellison own her? When she was Katana maybe?

Enigma is one of my all time favourite motor yachts. I´ve admired her since she was ECO. A bit Marmite I suppose, but I like Marmite smile

I´d like to work on her one day, maybe..

Spends a lot of time in Palma, but when she moves, she moves quickly!

spotted a sizeable sailing yacht in willemstad this afternoon. A little googling reveals it to be pilar rossi - the 9th largest sailing yacht, owned by nelson piquet.

looks odd, apparently an ex motor yacht, converted and lengthened under the guidance of nelson's naval architect uncle.
