Swift 135 and 141

YachtNews · 10-17-2009, 01:26 AM

I think we can see construction pics of one of the new Swift yachts in build by the Abu Dhabi Mar company. They are located in the gallery section of the website. Also since acquiring Nobiskrug and controling influence in French builder CMN,they are trying to have majority ownership of Blohm and Voss also?

The first superyacht from them to be launched will be the Swift 141-meter followed by the 135-meter. Abu Dhabi Mar is building superyachts up to 200-meters long. These two yachts are styled by Parisian Pierrejean Design Studio.

Both yachts will have a top speed of 26 knots. They are all custom built on hulls acquired from the Royal Dutch Navy that were cut and fashioned to meet design specifications. Abu Dhabi Mar also has two other vessels under construction, a motorized Dhow and an aluminum catamaran.

I was at the yard a few months ago. As you approach, it looks more like a maximum security facility than a boat yard. High walls with barb wire fence and security gate. Standing next to 141 you realize the size of this guy, it is very impressive. The 135 sits in the water with the superstructure removed waiting in line to be next.
