Catherine Pearson's Blog

Al Mirqab

We've received some good responses to our annual Top 100 list, including this one from PMY reader—and megayacht enthusiast—Brent Campbell of Tennessee. He wrote:

Seems you missed one in the Top 100.  I took these pics of Al Mirqab at berth in Cannes, France on July 12, 2009.  Note the slick little tender above the name plackard in pic 2..... I was told it's 42 ft.

Actually, Mr. Campbell, the 436-footer in question didn't make our list because, according to our research, she's a state yacht. She appeared on our 2008 list of top five state vessels, coming in at number four. But I'm posting the photos you were so kind to send. I think everyone will agree they give a great taste of what it's like to meet one of these mega-beauties
up close.

How about you, fellow megayacht fans? Got any great snaps you'd like to share?

About catherine_pearson

Catherine joined the Power & Motoryacht team in June 2007 after graduating from New York University with a BA in English and Art History. She spent her college years serving as an intern with the Hearst Corporation and has also worked in book publishing. Though Catherine was born and raised in Connecticut, she spent many of her summers vacationing and later working on Block Island, Rhode Island. It was there that she really fell in love with the water. Though she is an experienced rower, she is looking forward to expanding her boating experience by completing a basic boating course this year.
