Two luxury yachts recently received the final stamp to join the fleet classified by RINA, a classification company in the Middle East. To celebrate the event a reception was held during Dubai Boat Show on March 2, which was attended by major players in the yacht sector.

One of the vessels named DUBAI, classed as a luxury mega yacht, is 162m long. The vessel was designed by Winch Design and will sail under the UAE flag. DUBAI is ranked as being the third largest and most luxurious mega yacht in the world today. The second vessel classed by RINA is QUATTROELLE, an 86m yacht. The vessel was designed by Nuvolari – Lenard and was built by Lurssen. Both yachts are managed by Platinum Yachts.
