This is Atlantis II. She was owned by the late Stavros Niarchos. The rival of Onassis. Just like the Christina of Onassis the Atlantis had also a pool on the main aft deck. Nowadays she still belongs to the Niarchos family, but they don't use her often. But I have to say that they use her more the last time, because this summer she had left Monaco. Before Niarchos took delivery of the Atlantis II he owned the almost identical Atlantis I. Both yachts have the same length and almost same design. I believe Niarchos sold the Atlantis I to John Latsis who gave her to the King of Saudi Arabia. She got the name Al Salamah, but later she was renamed Issham Al Baher. You can find her at the port of Lavrion, near Athens.

One of the most talked about yachts during the past year, was of course Onassis his former yacht, Christina, today completely refitted and rebuilt from January 1999 to April 2001 at Viktor Lenac Shipyard and relaunched as Christina O.

Call him the Sultan of Silky Underthings, the Merrywidow Magnate, even the Prince of Push-Up Bras—all we know is, Limitless’ owner and Victoria’s Secret head Leslie Wexner is livin’ large off lingerie. In January Limitless became the largest yacht to enter Simpson Bay Lagoon in St. Maarten, shortly after the channel had been widened and the drawbridge spanning it had been rebuilt.

301'8" The family that plays together, stays together: Tatoosh rang in the new year in St. Bart’s alongside Le Grand Bleu (see no. 5), which was fitting, since their owners are brothers. The yacht remained in the Caribbean, including Antigua, for much of the winter. She’s named for an island in the Pacific Northwest that marks the entrance to the Straits of Juan de Fuca. Her owner prefers staying out of the limelight, despite being one of the biggest names in wireless technology; in fact, he’s told reporters he’d rather spend time on his yacht. Hopefully his various business interests, which include overseeing a sailing team in competition for the next America’s Cup, won’t occupy too much of his time.

Marktak, I was really impressed with the first pics you posted. Now I can't see any of them.

(No red crosses, only text without pics...strange). Does anybody have any idea how that might come?

208'9" Siran spends much of her time in the South of France and is owned by extremely private individuals of Lebanese heritage. Jon Banneberg, who contributed to her exterior styling, also directed her interior design, which features a multitude of marble.

Not only the yacht itself looks great also it's Venetian Limousine tender looks beautiful! I have no idea which company built the tender. I think she was built somewhere in Italy, maybe by Cantiere Serenella.

Some beautiful yachts! Thanks for the pics!

Here I have got a couple of pics of M.Y.667. Feadship have beaten their size record the last two years three times. In 2003 the 65 meter (213.3 ft) was the biggest Feadship ever build. She was just 0.35 meter bigger than the in 1978 build Al Riyadh. The Cedar Sea II is bigger with her length of 65.14 meter (213.7 ft), but she was lengthened with about 1.50 meters in 1994 by CRN. With the Launch of the MY667 in January 2004 the record was once more beaten and finally with the Launch of the Ecstasea in April 2004 the size record holds an imp.

EXCELLENCE III • L: 187'10"If you live in New England and have bought a car in recent years, tell Herb Chambers if you ever meet him—he likely owns the dealership you went to. Better yet, ask him if you can take a look at this yacht. (After all, the hard-earned cash you spent on the car probably bought at least a few of the fixtures, right?) The interior, by Donald Starkey Designs, follows a theme that Starkey terms “restrained opulence,” highlighted by rich mahogany paneling, leather, and onyx.
