Keep saving! New super yacht pays a visit

by isleofman.com 18th July 2010




If you need an excuse to clock up some overtime - she's in Douglas harbour today.

The Phoenix 2 Super yacht is here for refuelling and to complete some paperwork.

It's not currently known if she's a new entry on the Island's Super yacht registry, but her appearance in Manx waters only a couple of months after being launched by her German manufacturers suggests this could well be the case.

At 88 metres - or 286 feet - she's longer than the Steam Packet's vessel "Snaefell".

Facility-wise she may have a slight edge, with an outdoor cinema on the sundeck, a Jacuzzi and a heated pool.

All the furnishings and soft goods throughout the decks were chosen to reflect the 1930s in New York.

Her owner remains anonymous but it is known it's the second yacht he's ordered from yacht maker Lurssen. At a mere 197 feet, his first vessel, Phoenix , was no longer big enough for his needs.

If you want to see her you may have to be quick. It's understood she will probably leave Manx waters sometime after 3pm this afternoon . . bound for Gibraltar.
