Written by Mike Smith

Today’s feature superyacht is the Indian Empress Yacht which was launched just over 10 years ago at the very impressive 95 metres (or over 311 ft) in length. This still makes her one of the largest private superyachts in existence and certainly one of the largest yacht available for charter. Yacht Indian Empress was launched in 2000 as Al Mirqab by the quality Dutch superyacht builder Oceanco. Interior design was by The ‘A’ Group.
