During a recent visit to some of the yachts that I manage in Barcelona I discovered that 'Bamford Mike' was also in town. As he had taken the time to show me around where he works I thought it only polite to show him my place of work.

The first yacht was M/Y GARCON which is a 64mtr chase boat that carries all of the toys for the mother ship (An 87mtr Superyacht). By chance one of the engineers was available to show him around and as it turned out used to be a software engineer for Cosworth.








The second yacht is M/Y QUATTROELLE which is one of our 87mtr superyachts. She was the 'Headline' yacht at the Monaco yacht show this year.






If you want an internal tour of QUATTROELLE here is the link...

Yes, GARCON is the 'Fast Yacht Support' for the mother ship which is an 87mtr 3000gt superyacht with a crew of 31. (Google Motor yacht ACE). Bothe privately owned by the same owner. In addition the photograph of GARCON was taken using the owners helicopter that lives on the back.....

Old topic I know but a friend of mine recently changed jobs and told me he was the Chief Engineer on a Super yacht, the Quattroelle.
I googled it and what was one of the first pictures I saw.
My friend tells me he spends his day's in Dubai Marina polishing the chrome rocker covers. And the Russian working girls!


It's a shame what happened to Quattroelle. She was purchased by the royal family in the Emirates and as you say now spends 95% of her time tied up in Dubai marina getting covered in Sand. The same family own M/Y Dubai (As well as a few others) so spend most of their time on their.

I am now in Holland getting a 104mtr sailing yacht ready for delivery. She is stunning and will be the largest private sailing yacht in the world when delivered.

Really?

Thats not the one I am working on. 'A' is not a Sailing yacht by definition, she is a motor yacht which is sail assisted. The one I am working on now is a 'Sailing yacht' very similar to the 'Maltese Falcon'.....Only bigger....
