Not even you consider that you are looking at the premium super yacht building yard in the world. I spent 6 months there on a build. They built Savannah, Air, Lady Britt, Kahalani in recent years.
Oh Dear Mike... I thought your allegiance would have been with Amels not Feadship...

And no mention of the Germans. Haven't you heard, bigger is better where yachts (and this thread) are concerned

Nice plodding through Poole harbour in wonderful weather into Cobbs Quay yesterday and seeing so many (admittedly not 60million) yachts in progress for some lucky and considerably richer than me owners.

Having said that, is till prefer the 2000's Princess sleek styling to the training shoe Sunseekers of today, but if they are giving one away (with lifetime maintenance) I am their man.

Now, talking about yesterday's good weather and being at sea for many hours, where has the aftersun gone....

I've met them both. Nope - I can't explain it. Distinctly average chaps. Perfectly nice though.

I was told that they became the sort of 'go to guys' if an oligarch wants to buy table cutlery set with diamonds. They'll source it super quick and charge top dollar. Multiply that by every other hideous thing that some super rich person might want - and there's the answer.
this, they have great connections to the wealthy which helped them realize one hyde park and actually sell the units.

God, it’s hard to fathom the scale of these until you see a picture like this with tiny little people on it!

Utter rubbish.

Forget the £60M figure this threads about Superyachts and that definitely counts.

There was a feature on it in one of the superyacht mags fairly recently and I think its stunning. Not too big either.

The name is the date of Candy's daughter.

I know someone who works on Dilbar. Even in the crew cabins the iPad charging cradles are gold plated rather than the usual plastic ones. God knows what the fittings in the guest areas are like.

I don't agree. If you want to see loads of pictures or information about little yachts start a new thread. This thread should remain as per the title.

Only just seen this post! I was on the beach by the super yacht harbor in Antibes and saw the fire, was wondering what was happening. Tried to take pictures but I didn't have a decent zoom lens on so couldn't make out much detail
