A SPECIAL MOMENT WITH
THE LADY OF MONACO By Manuela Schinaia
On the 22nd of September 2020, “Force One Night” private cocktail took place on yachting icon M/Y Lady Moura, in the harbour of Monaco. It’s been a very special occasion: for the first time in her 30 years’ history, the prestigious boat has been the site of an event not organized by the owner. During all these years in fact, the yacht has always had the reputation to be somehow “inaccessible”: only those invited by the family have had the chance to visit her. Launched in 1990 by Blohm & Voss, Lady Moura was, at the time, the most expensive and innovative yacht in the world. The 104.85-metre yacht comprises of a hefty beam of 19 metres with a total gross tonnage of 6,359 GT, 20 cabins for 17 guests and 72 crews.
