The Apprentice star Lord Alan Sugar put his luxury superyacht – Lady A – on the market last summer, after the stunning craft underwent a year-long refit.
On sale through the superyacht brokers Edmiston, the British business magnate and Apprentice star is asking €14 million, around £12.34 million, for the 181-foot vessel.
When the superyacht was first put on sale in the summer of 2017, it cost £12.65 million, but the weaker pound means that if snapped up now, the new owner would save £300,000.

The Jon Bannenberg designed Lady A has gone through an intensive year-long refit at Burgess Marine.
The work has included an extension to the aft end of the upper deck to increase the exterior seating and social spaces, a redesigned and refitted interior, new paintwork and the installation of zero speed stabilizers.
Lady A was first launched in 1986 and was built in Japan by Nishii Zosen-Sterling for the Australian tycoon, Alan Bond, who named the vessel Southern Cross.

Lord Alan Sugar bought the yacht two years ago and renamed it Lady A after his wife, Ann. The couple have been together for more than 45 years.
Lady A has many features which strong reflect Bannenberg’s signature design, including the impressive sundeck, with its use of glass and spectacular views.
