Reminds of that boat in a JB movie which broke into two to create another boat. Can’t remember the movie but think it had a parrot as part of the plot. Probably made just as a movie prop ?
I think it’s Disco Volante

The movie was Thunderball. The parrot was in For Your Eyes Only, "ATAK to St Cyril's!"

In the remake of Thunderball, Never Say Never Again, the Disco Volante was played by Nabila, Adnan Khashoggi's boat. I was fortunate enough to have a look around when it was new.

Yup - as I understand it was sold to Latifi so kept in F1 circles.

Stroll is selling a lot of assets at the moment, presumably just to keep Aston Martin afloat. He's also selling off some of his car collection and his Mt. Tremblant racing circuit.

That yacht has perfect proportions. I suspect it will age very well.

A few years ago it cost $200k + to fill the tanks of Octopus.



~$200m to build apparently and still my fave mega yacht. You could do some proper exploring with that.

It makes Amevi/Alfa Nero look like toys.

My favourite too.

A small liner, rather than a giant Sunseeker.

he has a cracking office in St James Square, one of the highest rents in London. Its the old Iranian embassy and his desk sits next to the window they shot out of to kill PC Fletcher. The office prob costs a few mill a year and there were 6 desks in it!

They must have a lot of space. My old employer had a floor on the square a few doors down that cost £1.2 mm / year for about 40 of us.

It was the Libyan embassy where someone shot WPC Fletcher. The Iranian embassy was the one the SAS stormed in 1980 to release the hostages.

Given those in the know 'knew' he owned Flying Fox (not the case) and the media say its a 500M built (which it isn't). I'd say buggar all is known as fact. Clearly he ordered the yacht some time ago. Looking forward to seeing it. The biggest sailing Yacht, should be impressive

No one in the know knew he owned Fox.

Say that ten times after a drink!
