 When
talking about yachts we should not miss one of the wonders of 20th
century – motor yacht Prince Abdul Aziz. The yacht was built
in 1984 in the ship-yard of Helsingor Vaerft in Denmark. The large
yacht has long history and when was built this was definitely the
largest and most expensive yacht. Nowardays we can meet much yachts,
but this one kept the atmosphere of the old generation. The length
of Prince Abdul Aziz is 147.00 meters, which is about 482 feet.
The beam of the yacht is 18.30 meters, or 60 feet and the draft
is 4.90 meters, or 16 feet. These measurements are forming one really
fantastic and amazing steel yacht, which actually is small cruise
ship. The yacht is one of the Royal Yachts of Saudi Royal Family.
Her owner is King Abdullah, the king of Saudi Arabia. The yacht
is really interesting is design point of view with large bow and
place helicopter cap situated there. The yacht has small fast speed
boat for sailing around the yacht. Also interesting for this large
steel yacht is high speed, which is designed this yacht to reach.
The maximum speed of the yacht is about 22.6 knots, while the cruising
one is 21.8 knots. This is pretty much for older yacht build from
steel, but when Denmark’s builders had created this yacht,
they  forgot
about the thriftiness.
The
yacht Prince Abdul Aziz is really beautiful and luxury. The large
lobby on the main deck is designed from copy of Titanik, with large
spaces and classical furniture. The yacht is equipped for 22 guests,
and the crew on board is 18 members. This is sure prove for luxury
and good service. The staterooms on board are 12. The one is VIP
owner’s room with large balcony and luxury style of furniture.
The other 9 are double rooms with balconies and nice ocean view.
In every room you will be served like in 5 stars hotel, which is
the main feature of this yacht. The yacht Prince Abdul Aziz has
outside pool and nice places for sunbathing. Inside there is large
Jacuzzi, for 10 people. The private restaurant is equipped to be
comfortable and the cooks will satisfy each taste. The living room
is make for conferences, meetings, or just talking with guests.
The large LCD TV set is decorating the wall, with together with
it is coming professional surrounding studio, which is connected
with the one outside. Easily with one click of the music-desk, the
party is coming to the whole yacht and this is important for so
rich people. The yacht Prince Abdul Aziz is made to be comfortable
and very dissipating and if we can only count it to the largest
yacht, this definitely is yacht, which can turn you to the older
times, when money got their price.
