Anyone recognise the yacht? Stock image from getty images and it looks familiar but Google image search isn't helping me.

It has won an award for "sail assisted motor yacht", seemingly by virtue of being the only entrant:

Pink sail notwithstanding, I think I'd rather have the one on page 18.
Stupidly I thought you meant page 18 of this thread. A page containing only one image (for my browser at least). A rather challenging looking boat...https://www.boatinternational.com/luxury-yacht-eve...

Quick visit to Tarragona to check up on SY Black Pearl. Here alongside 124m (408.14ft) custom motor yacht motor yacht 'Katara'. Crewed by up to 95 crew when the owner and full complement of 34 guests are onboard.
The owner of Katara owns the port. It is there most of the year. beautiful built.

When you think you are 'the man' and then drive past Dilbar... 
I think you can still be the man in Ecstasea as she will smoke most big yachts out there. Not sure of Dilbar's hp and cant be bothered to check, but Ecstasea has 4 x big MTUs and a gas turbine on top of about 30k hp that powers the enormous water jet you can see on the transom. Was a 30kt boat and may still do that now. Edited by p1stonhead on Thursday 17th May 07:34

30kt yatch is unusable 99% of the time. everything fall apart as soon as you move at speed and it becomes impossible to work or do the simplest job. most of the time you will not see it cruise at more than 14knots. Dilbar will cruise at around 17 or 18kt if I remember. E34-3.2 said:

Its all about the 1%I never went on her underway, but i doubt its that bad (unless you know different) - we made a 46m aluminium sailing yacht do 24kts under power and that was no drama. It trust Feadship did their thing with Ecstasea and she is a fine yacht?

It is bad in the way that you can't work if it's at full speed or even at descent speed. Don't forget that many things are not fixed (decoration and other items) when owners are on boards so not a comfortable ride (I know by experience on a different boat)! Doing a Crossing is much quicker on Dilbar due to his cruising speed being much higher.

Owned by a Scot - Doug Barrowman who was going out with Michelle Mone the Ultimofounder (think she liked his sense of humour).He and his yacht feature quite a lot in this documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW0abCy4fgc&t=...

would hazard a guess at around 20 + tons / day at optimal cruising speed ...
for ecstasea, in full power mode we are talking 9000L/hours. it only happened once or twice in the life of this boat. the interior can't sustain the vibration for a long period (this is what I have heard).Saw in Caen the other day a large yaght or small cruise liner, turns out it’s a cruise liner but nice none the less..

The actual figures are in the link I posted above:

There can be no more than 1.5 meters of sea swell during use of the gas turbine."
