Did the penultimate one feature in Escape from Dubai ???
Or is it one used by 150 illegal workers [ at a time]from Mumbai , arriving in Dubai?
Seriously !! The one above[ the 170 metre superyacht] the dinghy looks to be exactly what Robby could do with on his Nautic web-site. It really is a dream yacht.
Who owns it? Who are the business syndicate? Any idea what it cost?
No idea how much, but it would probably run into the $100's of million, we can dream RobbyG Does anyone ever see mega yachts arriving in Dubai Marina? I am having this yacht passion for some years now and I was hoping someone could perhaps sent me some photo's of those exclusive yachts that you don't see so very often. I'm putting them up on my latest creation; Nautic Dreams Currently I have three top yachts on the site. Take a look if you're interested. Anyone able to help me out with some special photography skills? desertdudeshj Not exactly a pic to be framed but something like this.
Would have taken more pics but I hardly go to the marina, maybe someone who lives "new" Dubai

I think the owners are probably a front for Arniegang:
170m Superyacht
In 2004 RSD was appointed by a corporate syndicate to design a groundbreaking leisure yacht.
At 170 metres long with a beam of nearly 24m and a height of 30m, this yacht is currently the world’s largest private superyacht commission.
Striking styling defies the sheer scale of this yacht. Within fine lines normally attributed to a vessel a fraction of the size, RSD have provided seven decks to create living quarters on a grand scale. A central atrium serviced by two full height glass lifts connects the decks and facilitates easy movement between accommodation and living areas.
Accommodation is split into a number of different suite varieties. Standard guest suites start at 40m˛, culminating in the forward owner’s suite at a mind-boggling 180m˛. This is accessed via a personal glass lift from a private drive-in garage at the waterline. At the higher levels, duplex suites offer incredible views and spacious floor plans usually accredited with central city apartments.
The Owner’s Suite Complex consists of four bedrooms all with dual en-suite bathroom facilities, five walk-in closets, two offices, a dining room and private gym, all stretching over one entire deck, it’s incredible to think that the additional guest accommodation can cater for up to another 35 guests.
Facilities onboard create an air of opulence with thought turned to every conceivable comfort. Included are a cinema with full sized screen, an internet / IT suite, private spa facilities, and even an onboard sports centre with gym and indoor swimming pool that is capable of draining its 120 cubic meters of water in 10 minutes prior to the vessel raising anchor. sage & onion This would be about the best I could afford:lol:
and this one would be on my wish list:

Who owns it? Who are the business syndicate? Any idea what it cost? canuckbid A yacht would be a dream for sure. I did pick up some interesting news though when I spent a couple of winters at Sancarlos, Senoro Mexico. A few of the super yachts visited. After drinking some grog with the crew at the marina, they stated that the big pussy powered engines (I will not state the big"yellow's" name) had major problems with polluting. Pushing too much oil out the engine exhuast. Some had been banned from parking in some marina's they were so bad. One yacht had been dry docked 3 times in 2 years for the same reason. Still not fixed and apparantly the owner is trying to sue the big yellow. So if your super yacht is being built, make sure it has a good none polluting engine/ engines. Now as far as staying up todate with electronics on board, that's a whole new pyramid to build. lol Misery Called Life Hey Robby shut down this thread......It hurt's :D The things I probably will never own....... I've always been fascinated with yachts, but am in no position to own one.... I'm gonna start with sailing, multihulls, windsailing. Moth sailing is quite a rush too. Dubai is a fab place for inshore sailing. Maybe if I move out of Dubai into Melbourne or somewhere else, I'll really be able to pursue this hobby of mine. There is just no company here to go sailing or anything! RobbyG Thanks for the brainstorming session guys. I just received email from one of my favourite ladies (no longer) around on DF, and she just sent me the yacht photo's of the Abu Dhabi ruling family. Better hold tight, cause I'm hopefully soon gonna present the latest top deluxe yacht profile as soon as I find myself more information about this yacht. Its a beauty :lol: sage & onion

Loving the site. I too always have a dream to own a yacht and just travel the world with it.
Then check back regularly or bookmark it so you will see the updates of yachts coming.
I'm not going to report it here everytime. That would be like promoting my site and thats not allowed on DF ;) dresden You're a little late. ;
If I were allowed to dream:

- The 289-foot Maltese Falcon is the biggest, riskiest, most technologically advanced sailing machine in the world:
The technology is just amazing:
The heart of the boat's technology is a novel rigging system called the DynaRig, designed by Dutch naval architect Gerald Dijkstra and based on a half-century-old German concept. The genius — and risk — of the DynaRig is its use of freestanding masts that rotate to adjust sail trim and tack the boat. There are practically no external ropes or wires, no traditional rigging of any sort to brace the spars or control the nearly 26,000 square feet of sail. The 15 sails deploy at the push of a button, rolling out from inside each hollow mast along recessed tracks on stationary horizontal yardarms.

Don't get me wrong; love the site. Should have mentioned it in my last post.
Hopefully you're not copyrighting photos though! :o
Perhaps I am with a few, but I will hear from the respective owners when they notice in time. Also, I might change some pics but I never take pictures from people with copyright watermarks.
If I do, it must be a very nice one and I'll ask permission for it. Unless free for use.
