A Closer Look at the $250 Million Superyacht Al Mirqab
Have you ever dreamed of owning a superyacht? How about one of the 20 largest yachts in the entire world? Who hasn’t, right? Well, the Al Mirqab is the 15th largest and has everything you could possibly want in a superyacht. That includes award-winning design and so much more. Her navy blue steel hull cuts thru the water like a knife thru butter and that’s at more than 20 knots, to boot. OK, maybe all you can do is wish but here’s some in-depth info about the Al Mirqab superyacht so you can dream in living color complete with all the details.
#15 Largest in the World
The amazing superyacht Al Mirqab happens to be one of the biggest motor yachts that have ever been built worldwide (#15 to be exact). It’s actually owned by the exceptionally wealthy former Foreign Minister and Prime Minister of Qatar, Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani. It was built at the world-renowned German shipyard, Peters Schiffbau Wewelsfleth, and the yacht’s architect is the very talented Tim Heywood. The interior design was designed by Andrew Winch Designs. During the superyacht’s construction phase, it was known as “Project May”. Her current value is in excess of a whopping US$ 200 million according to Yacht Charter Fleet .
Located Near Athens, Greece
According to Wikipedia, Al Mirqab was completed in 2008. She has an overall length of 133 meters with a beam of 18. Her summer deadweight of 1,440 DWT and a gross tonnage of 9,518 GT. The Al Mirqab is built of steel and she has a cruising speed of 18.7 knots and a max speed of 20.3 knots. Currently, she is docked for a portion of the year on the Faliro coastal area in Athens, Greece.
Interior and Amazing Amenities
The yacht Al Mirqab accommodate 24 guests in her 10 guest suites and also offers two VIP suites for the yacht owner. The suites are massive and every one has its own living room, double bedroom, and bathroom. She also accommodates a full crew of 55 people.
A few of her onboard amenities include:
- A full-size cinema
- A helicopter pad (gotta have one of those, right?)
- An interior swimming pool (just in case it’s raining outside)
- An on-deck jacuzzi (for those big jacuzzi parties)
- Several beautiful sun-drenched sunbathing spots on-deck as well,
- Tender Garage (for keeping all of those toys),
- Plenty of Air Conditioning (to keep everybody cool as a cucumber)
- Gym (to keep everybody onboard in-shape and looking good)
- Spa (in case they’re not relaxed enough)
- Elevator/Lift (in case the guests don’t feel like using the amazing staircase)
- Beach Club (for more fun, fun, fun)
- At Anchor Stabilizers (wouldn’t want to become de-stabilized while at-anchor)
- Dynamic Positioning (and definitely wouldn’t want to get lost!)
Recent Interior Update & Other Facts
According to the Robb Report , the yacht’s beautifully well-appointed interior by Andrew Winch has won a number of awards and includes images with Arabic-influenced motifs all over the marble floors of some of the larger social areas. Her centerpiece is actually an amazingly stunning and quite complicated floating staircase that is also encircled by numerous custom-made glass panels. And, according to the Robb Report, she offers staterooms for 36 plus crew quarters for 45. Not quite sure whose count is correct though. Al Mirqab also has a large lower deck swimming pool that can be opened up to the ocean simply by opening the side hatches in the hull. In addition, Al Mirqab underwent a refit in 2014, which included a brand new sundeck as well as a complete interior remodel. Now, her even more gorgeous interior wows guests when they arrive onboard. (Wish we could be among them!)
Awards & Nominations
She has won a number of special awards, mainly in the year 2009, the year following her completion, including:
- World Superyacht Awards of 2009 Best Displacement Motor Yacht of 3,000GT and above (approximately 85m+)
- World Superyacht Awards of 2009 Winner of Motor Yacht of the Year
