Default For the megayacht lovers! special on rising sun (2-10)

Hye guys,

I wanted to show some beautiful yachtpictures. I noticed them a couple of days ago. Please note that I did not take them myself. I took them from the internet, but I do not think they are posted here before. I am really fond of yachts these big. Please let me know what you think of them, If you like em I can post some more.







Please have a look at the Mercedes G500 parked in the garage, and two helicopters on the deck. If I am correct this yacht belongs to Paul Allen co founder of Microsoft. The yacht is called the Octopus, and I believe it is the largest yacht in the world at this moment.



I really love the view on the pool!!!





This yacht is called the Pelorus. It belongs to Mr. Abramovich. One wealthy russian guy. He ownes a couple of yachts...this is only one of them. If I am correct he is the owner of Chelsea footballclub as well.


This beauty is called Princess Marianna, the thing I really like about her is that she has a golf driving range on the upperdeck. I you have a close look you can see it on this picture.


This is the Princess Marianna again, you can see the driving range and the spa.





This is the upperdeck of the Pelorus with a coverd spa.


The Pelorus again in Monaco. Look how huge it is.


Some pics of Octopus again. The owner has plenty of toys to play with.....










This is a pic of the Grand Blue. I do have more of it and have it posted as you guys like the pics.

Some really grat pics there... thank you for sharing

Some of those yachts are fuckin huge and i love the first one, with the G-Wagen and the Heli's 8)


I envy these guys, but they earned it (well most of them) and so it's great that there are things like this to buy when you earn some serious cash.. not that i woll ever have the £80M + required to buy a yacht not even half as grand

Top Post mate

You are correct about the Octopus it is Paul Allen's and it is amazing, That is a G55 BTW according to VH1's It's Good To Be...

there were a ton of Tire trucks there and I love that Hell sign to the far left of the 5th pic

Awesome pics there .. I like the bay on the right side that opens up to reveal a sit-out area ... nice helipads... reminds me of the boat owned by one of the Bond villians ---> which was it now - Thunderball???

just imagine filling the petrol tanks it might be cheaper to research your own nuclear power after a few cross pond adventures :shock:

looking at those, i imagine the owners never think about 'i wonder how much that cost' or 'i need to save some money' :cry: :roll:

O sorry mate, I noticed that my pics were not workin. So I edited the post again. Did not know you did it on perpose. Since I am quite new here I did not know that big pics were not allowed. Do you want me to resize them...and what is the maximum size of a pic?

Since you uploaded them on imageshack, just use the thumbnail code it automatically gives to you

usually anything above 1024 in width is too wide since most users will need to scroll laterally the page.
