Superyachts spotted in Caribbean
Dec 22nd, 2009
Two superyachts have been spotted in the popular luxury yacht charter destination of the Caribbean.Al Mirqab - a 436.5ft (133m) Peters Schiffbau-built vessel - was photographed next to the 197.67ft (60.25m) Paloma near the Virgin Islands, Superyacht Times reported.
The former features exterior styling by Tim Heywood and interior work by Andrew Winch.
A goliath of a vessel, the ship sails under the Cayman Islands flag and was built in 2008, with architecture by Kusch Yachts.
As well as a helipad, the 5,000-tonne boat, which is owned by the Emir of Qatar, features a cinema, outdoor and indoor Jacuzzis, bars and sunbathing areas.
It has five guest apartments, each with their own living room, bathroom and double bedroom, as well as a VIP suite for the owner.
Meanwhile, the Paloma can sleep up to 12 guests - as well as a crew of 17 - and underwent a refit in 2003/04 after it was first registered in 1965.

"I would recommend Dream Marine to others. Everyone was easygoing and helpful. I didn’t mind who I talked to. It was all good. Shame having to come back to London afterwards.
Come on Chris… when’s the next one?"
