OHHH MY GOD!!!
totaly stunning, it makes a very nice change to see some amazing water yachts! from the usual super cars that are posted here..
judging by these pics monoco is the place to be, i read that a yaht costs like 10% of it's value to run evrey year,
ie: you buy one for 1 million dolloars, it will cost 100 000 a year to run it, with the staff wadges fuel, maintance, docks.
another super luxuary item i love is private jets, they are simply amazing, stylisy and fast!

One of the most famous superyachts around the fabulous Kingdom 5KR. I think almost everyone knows her under her first name Nabila when she was owned by Adnan Kashoggi. When Kashoggi's al his money invested on the wrong side of the casino she came in hands of the Sultan of Brunei. He sold her for about $ 29mil. (a bargain) to Donald Trump. Donald Trump called her the Trump Princess. He made a deal with Amels for her refit and after the refit she went to New York. After that she went to Atlantis City were she used as a 'casino'. The big gamblers were invited to gamble on board.Prince Alwaleed, who holds dual citizenship in Saudi Arabia and Lebanon, had his yacht painted a shade of beige reportedly to mimic the color of sand. While he’s famous for taking his yacht to Cannes every summer, he’s also famous for being one of the world’s most aggressive investors in the stock market; in fact, Time magazine dubbed him the “Arabian Warren Buffett” in the 1990’s. Even though he can still afford to give away millions each year to various causes and afford a lavish lifestyle, traveling aboard his own Boeing 767 and splitting time between his yacht and a huge palace in Riyadh, Prince Alwaleed has seen his portfolio suffer huge losses in recent years, with some estimates having him down $10 billion on paper. The American-educated prince has also taken a beating in the court of public opinion; when he offered then-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani a $10-million check in 2001 after the September 11 attacks, he suggested that America revise its stand in the Middle East. (Giuliani, you may recall, eventually declined the check.)
This is the white rose of Drachs. She was built by Kusch Yachtbau and launched around the beginnig of June. Her length is 65.00 m (213.35 ft.), her beam is 12.00 m (39.35 ft.) and her draught is 4.05 m (13.30 ft.).
This is Tueq. Tueq has a length of 71.80m (235.60 ft.) and a beam of 13.50m (44.30 ft.). She is powered by twin Wartsila 3600hp engines which give her a maximum speed of 19 knots. The brother of King Fahd, Prince Salman is believed to be her owner. He also owns the Shaf. An 52.80m (173.2 ft) CRN yacht built in 1981. Shaf is most of her time moored in Puerto Banus, Marbella, and Tueq is also seen there a couple of times. Tueq's exterior was done by De Voogt and Mike Leach and Mike Leach was alone responsible for her beautiful interior.

Thanks mate,
As far as I know the biggest private yacht is the Octopus (L: 413'4")....the second one is the savarona (L: 408'0"), the third is the ALEXANDER (L: 400'2"), the fourth is (ATLANTIS II • L: 379'7) and number five is PELORUS (L: 377'3). Pelorus and Octopus were posted before. I will post some of savarona now. I'll have a look for the others.
One of the oldest super yachts a float these days. For a long time she was the largest private yacht, but after the launch of the Octopus she became the second.
Savarona was launched in 1931 under the name Savarona III for an American woman, Emily Roebling Cadwalader. After a couple of years she sold the yacht to the Turkish government. She was the new presidential yacht for Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. After he died in 1938 the Turkish government kept the yacht, but she was hardly used. In 1989 she was even hit by a fire.

Alexander was launched in 1965 by the shipyard Lubecker Flender in Germany. She was transformed into a yacht for none other than the late John Latsis in 1985 and she was extensively refitted again in 1998.
I think the alexander looks more like a cruiseship, and is of a different quality than pelorus or octopus.
