    Yes she did. She was here a couple of days ago. I did take a pic of her but only alongside. According to my dad she arrived very early before the sun came out. Will post it when I have downloaded it from my camera.

    I have to say that this has been one of the most enjoyable threads I have ever gone through. I just found it about an hour ago, and have gone through every page.

    Thanks for the pics Gibdan, and please do keep it up!

    IMO, the best design award for a 200+ foot mega-yacht would easily go to one of these:

    1- Pelorus
    2- ICE
    3- Eminence

    I think A and Predator are absolutely unique, but lack beauty.

    "Predator" is pretty contemporary, it just that she has a reverse bow that makes her seem more radical. "A" on the other hand is more unique, in superstructure. There isn't another yacht on this planet that looks like her. You can see that Predator overall looks more like a 'normal' yacht.

    Hi,

    I was onboard before the launching party, Predator is pretty unique throughout.

    K1W1,

    It would be interesting to get your opinion on the boat, since you've seen it in person. As I recall from a review they had on Predator in Boat International, Predator had very few staterooms (3?), since the owner wanted more space dedicated to entertainment etc. Am I correct?

    Also, any idea whether it has done any transatlantic crossings on its own hull? I'd love to hear how well the reverse bow handled the wide open seas.

    Looks like a smaller yacht and then a large tug on the other side of the tanks.
