Luxury superyacht owned by Qatar royal family arrives in Skiathos

The multi-million dollar cruiser, ‘Al Mirqab’ dropped anchor in the bay of Maratha, on the island of Skiathos.

Considered one of the most beautiful yachts by Forbes magazine in 2008, it belongs to one of the richest men in the world, Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, who again chose Skiathos for a holiday.

According to reports, all the necessary health and safety measures have been taken on the yacht and the 50 crew members were tested for Covid-19 before it sailed into the clear blue waters of the Aegean sea. There is a permanent medical staff on the yacht as well as a molecular analyser so that continuous tests can be performed.

The luxury yacht will be the talk of the town amongst the locals and tourists.

The ‘floating palace’ is the 6th largest yacht in the world. It has 12 suites, two pools, a helipad, gymnasium, Jacuzzi and a movie theatre. The interior of the vessel is fitted with handcrafted furniture, while the works of famous painters like Picasso and Van Gong feature on its walls.
