Dubbed the “palace on the sea,” the superyacht Katara is one of the most mysterious vessels in the world. All specifications are kept secret by the Qatari Royal Family.
The superyacht Katara is believed to be owned by Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the former Emir of Qatar. It is considered one of the largest and most expensive superyachts in the world, according to SCMP. (Photo: GiEye).
According to Yacht Bible, Katara was launched by the renowned shipbuilder Lürssen in Germany in 2010. With a length of 124 meters, NBC Boston states that this superyacht is even larger than a World Cup stadium, which typically measures around 100-110 meters. (Photo: Superyacht Fan).
The $400 million yacht is famous for its mysterious privacy, as there are rarely close-up images of outdoor living spaces on deck. Many believe that most of the pools are built indoors to enhance security. (Photo: Yacht Harbour).
In fact, Katara is a mystery even to the yachting world. All technical specifications and details about the interior design are kept confidential within the closed circle of the Qatari Royal Family. (Photo: Superyacht Fan).
The superyacht weighs 7,922 tons and provides enough space to create a floating city for its royal owners, reports Superyacht Times. At the same time, the elegant beauty from the outside to the inside of Katara is always highly praised. Designers Espen Øino and Alberto Pinto are behind this luxurious splendor.
