Today, the largest superyacht to date, docked in the port of Funchal.
The yacht, named APHO, was recently sold for 330 million euros, is 115.1-metres in length, larger than the 112-metre Sea Wolf, and belonged to Jamaican billionaire Michael Lee-Chin. The yacht was designed in honour of Ferrari, a brand idolised by the now former owner.
It has eight cabins and designed to carry 16 passengers. A further four cabins are for its captain and other staff members. The yacht also boasts a thematic spa with massage room, Himalayan salt sauna, Turkish bath, a cinema room, a winter garden, a heated swimming pool, a helipad, and a further two 12-metre yachts, in addition to other rescue vessels.
The yacht costs an estimated 30 million dollars in running costs per year.
