Dubai is one of the most important royal yachts in the world fleet. Measuring about 162 metres, she was completed by Platinum Yachts after a complex build history that included earlier work connected with Blohm+Voss. The yacht is associated with Dubai’s ruling family and is widely reported as one of the largest private or royal yachts ever built. Her public profile includes major guest facilities, extensive deck space, a large crew complement and the scale expected of a royal flagship. For Superyacht Guide, Dubai should be treated as a historically important giga yacht and a key reference vessel in the development of very large private and royal yachts.
