Just when you thought the Costa del Sol couldn\u2019t get any hotter\u2026 on the 20th<\/sup> August, one of the world\u2019s biggest and most luxurious mega-yachts arrived in Malaga\u2019s smart new marina.\u00a0 Proving that it isn\u2019t only the super stylish luxury apartments or magnificent mansions in Marbella that attracts the world\u2019s wealthiest to Southern Spain.<\/p>

141 metre mega-yacht sails into Malaga<\/strong><\/h3>

The Yas, is a beast of a vessel spanning an incredible 141 metres with the capacity to comfortably accommodate 60 guests and just over 50 crew. The interior design was undertaken by leading French maritime designers House Pierrejean Vision Design Studio. Needless to say, it is equipped with everything your heart could desire, whilst cruising around the Mediterranean or indeed further afield, including \u00a0a swimming pool, beauty salon and even a helipad.<\/p>

In fact, the Yas, was the second mega-yacht to sail into Malaga since the opening of Pier 1 and Pier 2, which between them have the ability to accommodate 31 vessels measuring up to 180metres in length.\u00a0 The first was a slightly smaller mega-yacht, \u2018The Aviva\u2019,\u00a0 an uber-opulent 100 metre craft owned by one of the UK\u2019s wealthiest men and majority shareholder of London\u2019s famous football club Tottenham Hotspurs.<\/p>

Eco-propulsion mega yacht<\/strong><\/h3>

The Aviva, designed and built by Abeking and Rasmussen, features four decks with eight suites to accommodate up to 16 people.\u00a0 The vessel is worth around $250 million and is particularly note-worthy as it has a unique eco-propulsion system which uses an electric motor to cut down the amount of fuel required to run.\u00a0 It is the first vessel of this size to visit the marina and in the process has made it the must-do mooring in Europe.<\/p>

The very first craft to dock at the newly inaugurated Malaga marina was the Azimut Grande 35 Metri, which boasted a more modest 10 guest capacity, which arrived in May 2022. \u00a0Although, much more modest, its arrival signalled that Malaga was now firmly on the nautical tourism map.<\/p>
