Super Yacht visits Weymouth

Our reporter Idris Martin tells us that a Saudi super yacht has been spotted in Weymouth Bay.

The super yacht is owned by Waleed bin Ibrahim Al Ibrahim, the founder and chairman of the Middle East Broadcasting Centre, also known as MBC Group.

The vessel dropped anchor in Weymouth Bay on Wednesday afternoon, June 12th, having arrived from the town of Alblasserdam in The Netherlands, and is thought to be on route to Southampton.

The yacht measures an impressive 105 metres in length and is currently sailing under the flag of the Cayman Islands.
