Found some pics of the real thing!!
Platinum 525 Ft started in 1998; finished it will become the Royal Yacht. This behemoth whose size and facilities more resemble a private mini cruise ship than a luxury yacht had its hull and superstructure built jointly by two of the most prominent German boatyards. She was then brought to the United Arab Emirates for completion, including outfitting of the interior. The vessel was originally ordered and intended for Prince Jafri of Brunei, but was eventually bought out by a Dubai businessman. When launched, she will become the Royal yacht, with accommodation for 24 guests in sumptuous staterooms, each with its own balcony. Facilities will include a barbeque area, a cinema, a disco, a squash court, a gymnasium, a helicopter pad, and a storage area for a submarine.
