It amazes the amount of wealth that is available in this world. The Octopus, my god, put some armor plating and a couple of guns and you have a frigate for Monaco. Any pictures available of the inside?

As promised...Le Grand Blue. One of a kind, I really like it...it has plenty of toys.... one of them is a Predator yacht. If I am correct this yacht alone costs about 1000.000. Correct me if I am wrong, but at least it is more than I make a year!!















On this picture you can see the Predator I was talking about. This is just a tender.... My god, the owner of this ship must have loads of cash. Does anyone of you happen to know who the owner is....must be some IT founder...



Here is even a better view of it....I hate the shed they put in front of it....why do people do things like that????






This pic is my wallpaper right now...It is taken in Lisbon, but not by me as I mentioned before.



This is a pic of the Pelorus again, I posted pics of it before, but I really like this ship. It is quite unique to see it docked together with some other megayacht.







Some nice view on the chopper!!















This ship is called wedge Too. The thing I like most about it is the design of it. It is quite different from the other yachts. I believe this ship is designed by Philip Starck. In my opinion one can see it is designed by a pro. I don't know who the owner is, but the name suggests that it is a golfer. It must be a wellknown than.



Entering the Monaco Marina.....isn't this a great pic???

OMG!!! That is just too much, I just love those pics.
As some of you already said I was particularly impressed with the balcony at sea level and it´s got a bar too with two wave runners. And the helis are top of the class too.

Now that is being wealthy :shock:

Number 77, which yacht do you mean? Do you mean Octopus?? On which channel was the TV show, and did you happen to make a capture of it, because I would love to see it.

The yachtowners seem to have not only a good taste with yachts....they like (and maybe more important, can afford) supercars as well. In the right of the pic you see wedge too. Which I posted yesterday. FOUND PICS ON WWW.SUPERCARFRANCE.COM, the pics are taken by CLIO_RS

great specialy the first two in the night. And te pool with the expensive furniture, graet light aroung. It is realy very special and no words can find to explain. It's like very special music that makes you feel like flying but this music you can touch and feel in your hands all the equipment and the stylish look.

Default A new update!!!



This yacht is the Carinthia VII. It is owned by a rich Austrian woman, named Horten. She is a widow unfortunately. I really like those hatches that hide all the tenders and stuff.















This almost looks like an appartmentbuildig....so large!!!















This is almost art!!!!


This is the lady moura, owned by an advisor of king Fahd. The king that has a house in Marbella. The house is like a copy of the white house. I have seen it myself, but did not really like it. Way too poshy.









Look how big it is compared to the other yachts.



This glass door is as far as one will get. I have never seen pics of the inside of this vessel.















The lady again...I think in Hamburg....am I correct on this?
















This yacht is called the Boadicea.









This is the Al Salamah....and the name suggests that it is owned by some wealthy Arab. Unless I have spelled the name wrong and it is Al Salami, than it must be owned by a rich Italian guy.

The princess Marianna. Please have a look at one of the crewmembers who is cleaning the windows hanging on a swing!!



















The Reverie....The yacht is owned by Kjell Inge Røkke, a Norwegian industrialist who started out with two empty hands as a fisherman in Seattle and built up a fleet of fishing vessels before repatriating to Norway and taking over two of Norway's largest industrial conglomerates.










This in the Ecstasea....owned by Mr. Abramovich again.... getting boring huh... 5 engines with a total HP of 43.885 !!!! 5 engines, 2 propellors and 1 thruster. The thruster is of course the center gas turbine with an output of 31.269 hp. Next to that 4 MTU's : 16 cylinders with 3.154 hp output each. : port inner and outer and starboard inner and outer engines.






















Lady Moura and wedge Too together!!



The Annaliese...this is a charteryacht. One of her first charter guest was a Dutch internet-millionaire. He chartered the Annaliesse for his wedding party. There was a crew of 55 man on board and a music installation that was big enough to entertain 1000 people! The played golf from the deck of the Annaliesse and there was also a casino on board the yacht. This party took place in front of Cannes. You can see the balloons for the party!!

















The lady moura again!







This is montkaj, Montkaj belongs to Prince Muhammad Bin Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz, governor of the Eastern Province and King Fahd's favorite son.























MontKaj leaving the marina. On the right, you can see Carinthia VII!
