I’m sure the owner will be gutted to hear that some people on here don’t like it. Still must be nice to be you guys and have the ability to choose your own designs for your super yachts.
I'm sorry that we didn't like your pics. I take it back, it's a beauty! So you're only allowed to criticise anything if you can afford one yourself, interesting take on life.

A is very angle & light sensitive, in terms of photographs, imo.
It looks best if you're not looking directly at it. Or at all.
Or away from it IMO

Indeed, I'm sure the owner gives approx zero fks biggrin

As would if I owned it, but I'd still think it was an ungainly boat.

My pics are zoomed in iPhone ones. I’m not entering a competition with them. I was referencing the comments calling the yacht ugly. It’s really not.

Your last sentence is poor form

Not ugly to you, but ugly to others which is the bit that's clearly upset you. You'll need to explain how my sentence is poor form, you were the one making the ridiculous comment!

I think we should all agree 'A' is certainly a remarkable vessel, however the aesthetic appeal is somewhat of personal opinion.

I’m not upset in the slightest. I’ll wager you haven’t seen it in the flesh and that alters perspective. I’ve yet to meet anyone who has seen it in the flesh who doesn’t think it’s amazing.

Poor form is the suggestion that you made about life and that you can only criticise what you can afford. Isn’t say that. You can try to infer it form what I wrote, but that’s not what I actually wrote.

This I would agree with. The mocking from people who’ve probably only ever seen photos is the bit that shows some up on here.

100% agree. Don’t hate the player as they say. Just admire or dislike as you wish. Personally I admire.

One of the things that helps sailing boat aesthetics is minimal freeboard. A flies in the face of that, in the flesh and in pics. I bet the windage is horrific.

I wonder how this guy feels when he takes the boat out for a day trip...
Same as anyone else that has a boat in that picture, that they are looking forward to a day out on their boat?

with the option of a beer on board.
Anyone else here trying to figure out what it is (the little one) .... not sure of the location, but if US then possibly a '60s Chris Craft Corinthian, if Europe then a similar era Pichiotti Gigglio perhaps?

She was sat behind us a couple of winters ago. She often had the thrusters going to hold her on the dock when the mistrals were blowing through.

This was in Banus a couple of days ago and appeared to be brand new.

No idea of the value but it dwarfed everything else in the marina...

Appears to be about 60 million Euros of Amels.

Anyone mentioned this one moored up in London today?



Kismet, owned by Shad Kahn - presumably around for either the Jacksonville Jaguars or Fulham games at the weekend (he owns both clubs).

The yacht's for sale as well if you've got €169m down the back of the sofa! https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts-for-sale/...

Amazing. I bet they must have to do similar when on the hook!
