    It can be seen now in Port of Cork, same place where MS Julia was docked for months.
    Probably stopping just for fuel and supplies as i seen fuel and supply trucks next to it this morning.

    Any idea who is on it? Considering it is a yacht that hires for 750,000 bucks per week, it aint some average dude/dudette.

    I saw four 'guests' arrive today, was monitoring comms and video. Looked like a boy band to me, but they were seriously underwhelmed by their tour.

    BTW she broke the harbour speed limits as she left. Parking at the Cobh liner terminal as we speak. More pap work for me I hope/

    I passed this thing today in town. The photo above doesnt do justice to its size. Unreal. It's a different world that those that would be able to hire it live in.

    The picture above doesn't look very impressive. Maybe it doesn't do it justice.
    I've seen Bill Gates' yacht in Croatia. That was pretty large.

    That's the problem with yachts, there is always someone with a bigger one...

    She's not, AIR is built in the Netherlands your link was made in Germany. Feadship is a builder/rental cooperative with AIR currently flagged for civil charter from the Cayman Islands. :)

    PS I speculate this is some Celtic Tiger money that was never found :)

    Don't know how true it is, but I heard it WAS Abramovich. He was re-fuelling and was just dropping in to say 'Hi'! :D

    They certainly get around - The chopper is Isle of Man registered and was photographed on the "Air" in Nassau Harbour in March 2012
