Top luxury yacht

The 210-foot El Bravo is scheduled to berth at Dockyard this morning to take on bunkers and provisions.

The boat, which is owned by a South American, was ranked 30th largest yacht in the world last year.

She has a swimming pool that allows for paddling against a current, an onboard garage for a car, a disco and a 2,500-square-foot owner's suite with walls covered in snakeskin.

Local agent Harnett & Richardson was unable to identify the owner. The steel-hulled El Bravo was built in 1991 and has a crew of 14.

The cruise ship scene began its first full week of business with all regular callers having completed their positioning cruises to their new base of operations at New York City.

Meyer Agencies reported the 1,354-berth Horizon steaming in Monday morning with 1,268 passengers.

She was followed by the 829-berth Westward with 587 passengers. Yesterday, the Meridian , with a capacity for 1,106 passengers, arrived at Dockyard with 975 visitors.

Bermuda Travel Tours' Nordic Prince berthed yesterday morning at Penno's Wharf with 850 passengers. The ship, which has a capacity for 1,012, was the first of the three regular callers to berth in St. George's, activating the two-port policy.

The Sagafjord is due in on Friday for a two-day stopover. On Bermuda's docks, Meyer Agencies said the Somers Isles was in port on Monday with 63 dry containers and three refrigerator containers.

The Bermuda Islander made an unusual stop at Marginal Wharf in St. George's harbour delivering construction equipment for the US Naval Air Station new runway project.

She later sailed to Hamilton to deliver 61 dry containers and four refrigerator containers.

Container Ship Management said the Oleander was in port on Sunday delivering 160 dry containers, 35 refrigerator containers, one Mafi with break bulk that included trash compactors.
