SS Delphine Yacht

The last weekend (thanks to Mr. Rajczyk) I had the opportunity to find out about this beauty: The SS DELPHINE Yacht (currently anchored in Monaco)

The yacht is a classic 1921′s style, with 257 feet and because of its solid engines that work almost silently, it was once requested by the US Navy for their operations (being named USS Dauntless, and later rechristened by the Princess Stephanie of Monaco, as SS Delphine again). Distinctive opulence.

The boat is completely renovated and was found rusting on a dock by the millionaire Jacques Bruynooghe who ended paying a bargain for it.  However, renovations costed up to three times more the original budget.  He made the purchase in less than three hours of its discover.

All the polished bronze, the wood detailing and the luxury concept inside the yacht creates a vintage atmosphere that enables any one to feel like in the years of its creation.
