An update and rare view on the rebuilt Project Sassi (the new Coral Island).

.

The yacht under construction was destroyed in a fire in 2018. Rumors are that the insurance claim was EUR 590 million.

.

She is being rebuilt at Blohm and Voss and heading to a 2022 delivery. Apparently her hull is being re-used.

.

The yacht is a replacement for the 72 meter (237 ft) Lurssen yacht Coral Island.

.

This yacht is now known as Coral Ocean and is owned by Australian waste entrepreneur Ian Malouf.

.

The Sassi project is now referred to as Project Opera and will be 147 meters (481 ft) long. That makes her one of the largest yachts in the world.

.

Her commissioning owner is Sheikh Abdul Mohsen Al-Sheikh, a Saudi billionaire art collector, and founder of the Shgair Farm.

SuperYachtFan

What started as a ‘yacht spotter’ hobby, turned into a fast-growing yachting site with thousands of unique daily visitors.

In 2009 SuperYachtFan in its current format was published online and soon the focus changed from ‘yacht photos’ to ‘yacht owners’, creating the Super Yacht Owners Register. A database with more than 1,450 yacht owners.

This was an instant success as many people around the world are interested in, or curious about, these multi-million dollar yachts and their wealthy owners. (Luxury travels of the Billionaire Boys Club)
