If you happen to be in Marbella this week, you will probably already have seen the spectacular sight of what looks like a cruise liner, anchored off the Mediterranean coast. This is in fact the ´Prince Abdulaziz´, one of the largest motor yachts in the world.
With a length of 147 metres and a cruising speed of 22 knots, the yacht was built in 1984 at a cost of 184 million dollars, with features including pools, hospital, cinema, helicopter with landing pad, underwater detection system, and even a small mosque. Belonging to the Saudi royal family, the yacht was launched as ´Abdul Aziz´, but renamed later by the late King Fahd for his son.
Now owned by Fahd´s successor, King Abdullah, the yacht has been touring the Mediterranean this year, and has already been spotted off the South of France. The Saudis are currently in residence in their ***lavish compound in the hills of Marbella.*** The nearest yacht harbour of Puerto Banus, already home to several ocean-going yachts, simply cannot accommodate the size of the Prince Abdulaziz, the largest yacht built in the 20th century
