    Most persons know of "Prince Abul Aziz" once the largest superyacht in the world and widely known to be owned by the Saudi Royal family. The yacht was built in 1984 and is around 485-feet long or 147-meters with a beam of 18.3-meters and a draft of 4.88-meters. The internal volume of around 4,620 GT allows the family to be very comfortable At top speed the vessel could run up to 18-knots.

    A very nice design yacht. I bet if she were to be modernized from the interior to the exterior she would be gorgeous.

    I think she is a nice design, classic and timeless. Though I have not seen the interior I have no doubt it would not be to my taste.

    You don’t dig gold bath tubs and praying areas with Mecca Meters?
    (A dial with an arrow that allows points to Mecca so you know which way to face when you pray. ) :rolleyes:

    She used sit at the end of the IYCA dock in Antibes, perhaps went out for 2 weeks over the whole summer. The family also own several houses on the Riviera.
    Never ever saw the crew out in town. It was rumored she had twin Stinger missles mounted on the foredeck.
