KATARA Yacht – The Extravagant $400 Million Superyacht

At a length of 124 meters (408 ft) the KATARA yacht is currently considered the 23rd biggest yacht in the world.

However, if measured by volume she would rank even higher with space for somewhere between 28 to 35 guests as well as 60 to 90 crew members.

This stunning vessel represents one of the big mysteries of the yachting world as not much is known about her interior and exact specifications.

However, with the size of a small cruise ship the interior of this mega yacht is most likely filled with lavish luxuries.

KATARA yacht interior

The exact setup and interior remain unknown to the public. However, she is rumored to have a large beach club, multiple gyms, a beauty salon, elevators, and several pools onboard.

Her main saloon appears to stretch across two floors and is thought to be the largest room on the vessel.

Fourteen cabins for an estimated of 28 to 35 guests are available on board although the exact layout and setup of the yacht remain unknown.

The small number of photos depicting the interior suggests it has a traditional design with classic charm.

High-end marble with golden accents is complemented by beige furnishings and warm wooden tones throughout the vessel.

The interior was composed by the Parisian interior designer Alberto Pinto who passed away only two years after the yacht set sail for the first time.

His work specialized in motor yachts, jets, and luxury hotels and the KATARA yacht became one of his most well-known projects.

Specifications

The KATARA yacht has a length of 124 meters (408 ft) and an impressive 19-meter (62.5 ft) beam making her one of the largest superyachts in the world.

She is built from steel and aluminum and her name is thought to either stand for festivities or the Arabic name for a water droplet.

She sails under the Qatari flag and her home port lies in the capital Doha although she was built in Hamburg, Germany.

At 7922 gross tons, she is a very large vessel that would normally pass for a smaller cruise ship.

However, with space for only an estimated of 28 to 35 guests, there is a plethora of space on board for luxury facilities.

The four radar domes are arguably her most recognizable feature and she has been spotted in ports around the world including the United Kingdom, Montenegro, the Caribbean as well as the United States.

With speeds of up to 20 knots, she is by no means as slow as her impressive size might suggest. Powered by dynamic MTU engines she can reach a range of up to 5,000 nautical miles.

She has an estimated price tag of US $400 million with an additional $25 to 40 million in annual running costs.

The exterior of the KATARA yacht was designed by Espen Øino one of the most well-known naval architects and superyacht designers of all time.

Although she wasn’t his largest vessel when considering length, she was one of the largest in volume at 7922 gross tons.

Despite her size, she has a distinct lack of outdoor space with most of her decks being covered, possibly for privacy reasons.

The bow is one of the few spaces on her with an open-air deck that includes seating and dining areas but no pool.

While rumored to have several pools and jacuzzis on board all of them appear to be located either inside or in covered areas.

Only on the upper deck, a small jacuzzi can be seen which is located under a large awning.

On the stern of the vessel, a large helipad is located which is serviced by a Eurocopter with the registration A7-HMD.

Depending on the configuration this aircraft can carry up to 13 passengers plus crew. This version of the Eurocopter 155 was specially modified for performance in hot climates and high altitudes.

This gorgeous vessel is equipped with a high-end underwater lighting system making her an even more impressive sight at night.

Toys and equipment

As is the case with the interior not much is known about the exact equipment and toys that this yacht carries. She is said to have at least five jet skis as well as several water bobs.

She carries at least four small tenders as well as being accompanied by a larger chase boat named KATARA II.

This vessel is estimated to have a length of 20 m with three guest cabins which are able to host a further six guests plus two crew. Her top speed is 40 knots.

She is equipped with a modern stabilizer system which provides her guests with high levels of comfort when at anchor or at sea.

Due to the large helipad on board, her owners are able to board with complete privacy which appears to be one of her most appreciated features.

Additional information

When she was launched in 2010 she was one of the largest superyachts in the world. During her construction with Lurssen Yachts in Hamburg, she was known under the secretive name Project Crystal .

Over the course of the past eleven years, she has slipped in the rankings but remains one of the 65 yachts in the world over 100 meters in length that are in operation today.

In 2016 there was a small fire in the engine room while she was in port in Montenegro. While the fire was minor and could be extinguished in less than 15 minutes she was still sent to Lurssen Yachts in Hamburg for renovation works on the interior.

This vessel is currently in private ownership and is therefore not available for sale or charter.

Known as Project Crystal by her builder, this 124 metre yacht’s name was unveiled as Katara upon her launch. Katara, hull number 13656, was built by the Lürssen shipyard in Bremen and spent her first full season in the Caribbean. She has one helipad and carries both her tenders and her SOLAS rescue boats in davits port and starboard. She flies a Qatari flag and her home port is Doha, which means her name is more likely a translation of the word for “celebration” than a reference to the female waterbender in the film, Avatar, although that works, too. She likely belongs to the new young emir.

Huge £300m superyacht owned by Qatari royal family spotted in Cornwall among heatwave staycation crowds

• Published : 15:35, 5 Aug 2020
• Updated : 12:03, 23 May 2023

A £300 million-pound superyacht belonging to the Qatari Royal Family has docked in the UK.

The Katara, one of the largest mega super yachts in the world, was spotted berthed in Falmouth, Cornwall , next to luxury cruise liner The World.

It is believed the yacht is owned by the 40-year-old current Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani or by Sheikh Nawaf bin Jassim Bin Jabor Al-Thani, chairman of the Katara Hospitality Group.

The 7,922 ton yacht, complete with helicopter deck, satellite domes, tenders, and jet skis, was built in Germany at the Lurssen yard.

She is powered by two 9,925 hp engines, giving Katara a top speed of 20 knots.

The boat is due to leave Cornwall tomorrow, according to the Falmouth Harbour Commissioners' website.

Up to 34 guests can stay on board the yacht and it has capacity for 95 crew members.

The yacht is one of the largest in the world.

It is 124m long and generally cruises at about 20 knots.

CORNISH NASTY

Meanwhile, Cornwall Council has slammed "ignorant" visitors for refusing to wear masks as thousands descended on beaches this weekend.

Worried locals fear a regional lockdown will be enforced and blasted huge crowds for turning the south coast into "Benidorm on steroids".

Cornwall  Council deputy leader Adam Paynter said there are fears in the community of a rise in  coronavirus  cases due to the inlux of vistors.

He also hit out at "ignorant" tourists who have been refusing to wear masks as they head to the south west to soak up the 37.8C heat.

Speaking on LBC, Councillor Paynter said: "I've heard two different incidents where people have been overheard saying: 'Well, I'm not going to wear a mask. 

"I came down here to get away from all of that'.

"I think that's pretty ignorant thinking that coronavirus doesn't exist down here."

Mr Paynter said he has heard reports of visitors shrugging off face covers as they claim they are on holiday to "get away" from the outbreak.

Cornwall has seen "unprecedented" numbers of visitors flocking to its beaches - leaving some locals too scared to leave their homes.

Quick Enquiry

"I once had a client who told me, “I will put your name on the side of my boat if it’s good, but if the boat is not good, your name will appear three times as big.” We were brought up with the sense that it is a very personal obligation for the family when we sign a contract to deliver a yacht that the client expects. I cannot go to a client and say “One of my guys made a mistake.” He would say “Is he Mr. Lürssen, or are you Mr. Lürssen?” But a successful delivery is also a great reward. I take the relationships of my clients very personally." - Peter Lürssen of Lürssen Yachts (courtesy SuperYachtTimes)
