Indian Empress

Indian Empress

Indian Empress is one of the largest private yachts in the world at 311 feet 8 inches (95 metres) in length. Launched in 2000 as "Al Mirqab", she was finished at the Oceanco yard in Holland to the design of the A Group after having had her hull assembled in Durban, South Africa. The yacht was owned by a Qatari Royal Family member who sold her to Indian billionaire Vijay Mallya in 2006.

"Indian Empress" is powered by three 10,000-hp MTU 20-cylinder engines, and has three propellers enabling her to reach speeds of up to 24 knots. Her cruising grounds include the Mediterranean sea and the Indian Ocean.

Mallya also owns "Indian Princess", a 181 foot (55 meter) motor yacht built by Sterling Yacht & Shipbuilders in Japan in 1986.

Moored next to the Monaco street circuit on the 2007 Formula 1 race weekend guests included Bernie Ecclestone, Jay-Z, Gideon Marshall, Tadashi Yamashina, Flavio Briatore, Rob Muntz and Vijay Mallya. [ [http://www.formula1.com/news/6148.html] ]
