Re: Are these the 50 Most Beautiful Superyachts ever?
Lady Moura and Enigma are parked in the same marina as my boat in Palma and both are mingers as far as I'm concerned. Lady Moura looks like a cross between a car ferry and one of the Fat Greek's sleazycruise ships (although it's recent blue hull paint job tarts it up a bit) and Enigma is just plain butt ugly with it's bulbous windows and seems to be a sort of reverse design exercise in how to fit the smallest possible superstructure on the longest possible hull
Re: Are these the 50 Most Beautiful Superyachts ever?
Surprising list. Several on there clearly deserve a place in the top 50 superyachts. Maltese Falcon, A, Christina O, Limitless to mention but a few.
But no Mirabella 5, yet you included Felicita West? How could you? FW is not particulary pretty, is not a good sailer, and is essentially a collection of parts from a catalogue. Mirabella V has a carbon hull, the largest mast ever made, the largest sail ever made, all custom sail handling etc, and represents the culmination of a long list of engineering challenges, with almost nothing bought from a catalogue. And it can outpace Maltese Falcon in a straight line, whereas FW would be lagging 4 knots behind...
Lady Moura and Kingdom 5 KR just shouldn't be in any beauty list. K5KR has her attributes but beauty isn't among them, especially in her colours. Lady Moura just looks like a commercial cruise ship, urgh
Why Pelorus but not the new improved sistership Dilbar or the brand new launch Darius, from the same hull/series? And even moreso why Deja Too when it is "just" a series Amels? There have been perhaps 10 built in that Tigre D'Or series, so it's as close as you get to a production boat in s/yachts, so why pick DT specifically?
The most surprising choice was The One for #1. Jeeze. Quite a boat but hardly as special or beautiful as many others on the list. And very not beautiful when her uber smokey knackered old engines start up
Nah, the top handful should have been Maltese Falcon, Endeavour, Mirabella V, Ghost, Limitless, Carinthia 7, Wallypower 118, Ice, Christina O, A.
There's a mistake in the album. You have 2 number 21s, both called Coral Island. The one on the right IS Coral Island but the one on the left (with distinctive turquoise boot top) is Princess Mariana. Red Dragon is in twice, and (pedantically) Leander is called Leander G
Re: Are these the 50 Most Beautiful Superyachts ever?
Oooh, i wouldn't call Enigma butt ugly. Quite a milestone in engineering terms, and those windows are huge compound curved glass things that were a massive job to make. Currently owned by (son of) the Barclay brothers, btw
Re: Are these the 50 Most Beautiful Superyachts ever?
Do you mean Ilex? Or Adix? Ilex is an interesting classic but hardly a superyacht, and Adix (a modernised classic) seems more in keeping with your choice of Meteor, etc.
Meteor is a lovely boat. My berth is right opposite, bow to bow, her sistership Borkumriff :-)
Re: Are these the 50 Most Beautiful Superyachts ever?
Sorry chum, my apologies , I didn't really read the OP I though we just had a choice of what was in the gallery, personally, I think if that is the best top fifty there are some Superyacht designers around that don't deserve the title.

I did mean Ilex - might not be so super big as the others but a super yacht in my book.
