    It does look very much like the discontinued 57...with a stack on each side, and the hardtop....

    I'll have to second the 57' Nordhavn, the old style. I had a look at the new ones, but they had different back windows.

    She appears to be a Perini Navi.
    Best,

    It's definitely a Perini no doubt about that...seems to be a good match by AffrayedKnot...It isn't easy to distinguish Perinis from a distance...2006/7 to the present builds look a bit different from 2000 to 2005.

    I would rather say it the 2009-built 56m(184ft) Perini Navi "Riela".

    Easy way to recognize them is by their SatComs layout, in this case 4 large SeaTels (2 per mast in the lower spreaders) and a Nera F55 above the twin radars. Just like "Riela"...

    Plus "Ohana" was here in Monaco 10 days ago!

    What we have here is an unusually tall man pacing behind a 7 ft. wall. We think it's him but we can't be sure. So before we send in team 6 for verification, let's narrow the field to establish a better opportunity to identify our target.

    If we are willing to assume that we are looking at a photo of a Perini Navi and further to assume, a 56m, due to her camera configuration...

    What we can establish is that she has a blue hull and flying some form of Red Ensign.

    Panthalassa '10 56m - she's flying the Red Ensign of the UK
    Melek '10 56m - she's flying the Red Ensign of Isle of Man, I can't say that I see the 'trinacria' in the flag in post 304 of this thread or the photos below - but maybe.
    Asahi (ex: Riela) '09 56m - she's now flying the CISR Red Ensign and I can't say for certain that is what I see in the photos above or below - but maybe.
    Zenji (ex: Santa Maria) '04 56m - she's now flying the CISR Red Ensign and I can't say for certain that is what I see in the photos above or below - but maybe.
    Silvana '08 56m - Italian Flag
    Selene '07 56m - Barbados Flag
    Rosehearty '06 56m - Isle of Man, I can't say that I see the 'trinacria' in the flag in post 304 of this thread, and I don't know that her hull has been repainted from white to blue.
    Salute '08 56m - now flying the red and white Maltese Ensign - clearly not what we see here.
    Burrasca '03 56m - now flying the flag of Saint Vincent and The Grenadines - clearly not what we see here.

    So most likely, in post 304 & 305 we are looking at: Panthalassa or Melek or Asahi or Zenji

    A closer look at the photos, as per below... the flag leans us towards Panthalassa.

    We may need to develop additional resources to affirm identification.

    Let's eliminate Panthalassa, at the moment of this writing she is anchored off the coast, south of La Spezia.

    Ashai and Rosehearty are both in Gibraltar waters as we are speaking.

    Zenji's AIS signal gives her in San Diego area

    Pantahalssa was in Monaco on Sunday.

    Burrasca is in Genova

    Selene is in Monaco as of Yesterday

    Salute is one mast

    Silvana is in La Spezia (italy)

    Fidelis and Melek both is in Viareggio for maintenance

    As a result, the only one left possible to be in Key West (posts 304 & 305), and that also matches with SAT domes layout, is RIELA

    ... as you say, that's my two cents!

    I apologize for the poor photos. I actually believe the flag was Cayman. The first photo was when we were arriving at the West Bight so the yacht was about a quarter mile away.

    The second was from Ft. Zachary Taylor about 1.5 miles away.

    I would guess she was about 50 meters.

    Two Cents ???

    Brother, for this set it seems that you've opened the entire Bank...

    Great Intel - Thanks

    Just for update: the ex: Riela which flew the flag of Isle of Man is now ASAHI and flying the Cayman Red Ensign.

    Rosehearty is at 14:45 zulu, underway; 90° @ 13kn & SSE of Marbella

    But Asahi and Riela being variants of the same can't be in two places at once.

    ARIA is currently moored at Almerimar, but no signs of Asahi.

    Unless otherwise proven, I think you're correct in that assumption that we see "Asahi" in the photos at instant.

    Absolutely right, "Riela" changed name to "Asahi" which pulled in Gibraltar earlier this afternoon for bunkering (AIS signal shows her inside the commercial terminal close to Ocean Village Marina). By bad! Too many name changes to remember...

    Are we sure of the photo's date being last week and not two weeks ago...? if so it would be just enough time for Riela/Asahi to cross the pond...

    On the 7th of April ASAHI was in Horta

    At 00:58 on 25 April she was 24.55554-81.81913 or about 30 miles north-west of Key West

    We have a winner... Good Eye MedRascal

    In Venice this afternoon. Interesting design profile, but I do not recognize a particular builder or designer traits.

    Does anyone know this vessel?

    Woof. It looks like it was designed by a committee. No clue on that one.
