ONE of the most luxurious yachts in the world has docked in Spain’s Costa del Sol.
The Lady Moura, owned by Saudi Tycoon Nasser Al Rasheed, has been berthed at Malaga’s pier 2 since yesterday.
Nasser owns engineering consultancy firm Rasheed Engineering and advises the Saudi royal family.
His white vessel, worth more than €200 million, measures 105 metres long and 20 metres wide and features its name written in pure gold.
It was designed by the Italian architect Luigi Sturchio and was built in the prestigious German shipyards Blohm + Voss almost 30 years ago (1990), and has already been refurbished twice.
It includes a spa, casino, party room, several bedrooms, an operating room in case of accidents or injuries, a heliport and several smaller boats.
It can accommodate up to 30 passengers, although it has double the amount of crew members (around 61 people).
It has its usual base port in Palma de Mallorca, like many other boats of this type.
Its diesel engines mean a 6,900 horsepower and maximum speed of 20 knots.
