Yacht AZZAM

[Rum_Pirate]

Is anchored a fair distance from my house.
Apparently it is the longest private yacht in the world
Middle Eastern owner.

No I have not been invited aboard.

We saw her between Mallorca and Menorca in 2015
First in the distance - wondered what it was.





So checked the AIS



Then decided to speed up and check her out



I think that they were a bit concerned with a boat speeding towards them but we did get close enough for a good look

Nowhere to put a tender!

 

[petem]

Looks a bit smokey. Might want to check his injectors !

 

[Seastoke]

Nowhere to put a tender!

Maybe a garage starboard side.

 

[Rum_Pirate]

Seems to have it's AIS switched off.

 

[Hurricane]

Seems to have it's AIS switched off.

Yep - I noticed that too - Vesselfinder hasn't seen it for about 6 months.
Maybe the AIS is broken and they can't afford to fix it.

 

[stelican]

A lot of the big nobs seem to switch it off.

It’s a UAE sheikhs. The guy that owns Man City. Mansoor. Saw the yacht in Dubai, off Jumeriah coast. Loading cases of JD & 3 Liverpool rather nice looking girls onto the tender! Lucky guy!
