Yacht spotting in the Tyrrhenian Sea - The world's fourth-largest motor yacht

After our encounter with the world's largest sailing yacht we were lucky to spot another monster of the seas just the day after and a couple of bays later:

At first glance, it appeared as an admittedly big but rather typical motor yacht. With maybe one floor more than usual...

However, the closer we got the more apparent the hugeness of this yacht became.

See this whirlybird on the roof floor? Right, that requires a bit of space...

How long is it? Just right, 156 meters!

The world's fourth longest yacht. And the world's biggest in volume.

So here is a little quizz for you: What's the name of this swimming statement and in which shipyard was it built? First correct answer in the comments will receive 3 SBD.

Speaking of 3 SBD, that was about the cost for our dinner that day. And no matter whether it's pasta or caviar on the table, it's the company that counts.

Good night Steemians around the world!

Thanks for watching and 'til next time!

That’s really a giant monster.
Her name is Dilbar. It can be read very good on the photo where you have written the length. And after a little bit of google, I know that the shipyard is Lürssen. ;-)

Am I really the first? If yes, we can change the rules of the quiz... You keep the 3 SBD and you grant yourself a beer or a wine. 😊

On the blockchain, rules are immutable ;) 3 SBD are on their way to your wallet. Congrats!

Thank you very much @shaka
Well received the 3 SBD.
I would have given you the beer really. But I think maybe I find another opportunity 😊

it's the company that counts

100%!

I am not going to compete in the quizz as I can see it was already answered correctly by other (faster :D) Steemians but I stopped by to say I have never seen a yacht like this (even though I have already spent a few years living by the sea). That is a monster indeed. But like I said before, it is just too much engineering and modern technology for me :) I will always find those old little wooden boats,hand-made and painted, more beautiful than these gigantic modern beasts. I am a bit old-fashioned I guess :D

The name I think is, "Look at me! So, so much money."

Dilbar - in Bremen Fr. Lürssen Werft

Was für ein Schiff!

Richtig, @astrophoto.kevin war allerdings einen Ticken schneller :).

Das ist ja ein nettes "Boot". ;-)
Auf der hätte sich Spectre's No. 1 in Thunderball auch wohl gefühlt - oder von mir aus auch Klaus-Maria Brandauer in Sag Niemals Nie, was ja ein sehr starkes Remake ist.

What a pity:
The Dilbar didn't get its own video on Lürssens YouTube-Channel

Incidentally, Bremen is my hometown and I was a true Bremer Butjer (Wikipedia; only in German or Dutch)


Schade:
Die Dilbar ist auf dem YouTube-Kanal von Lürssen leider nicht zu sehen...

Bremen ist übrigens meine Heimatstadt und ich war ein waschechter Bremer Butjer.

Danke für den Link, in Bremen ist ja einiges spektakuläres vom Stapel gelaufen.

I love the last shot!
lucky you ;)

dang!!! It has a helicopter! You have such a good eye!
