#38: PRINCESS MARIANA—252’3″

When you see a woman’s name as part of a yacht’s marque, especially if “Princess” accompanies it, nearly every time the lady who’s being honored is the owner’s wife. That’s the case with this yacht, belonging to Carlos Peralta Quintero, president of Mexican cellular phone company Iusacell. Princess Mariana was spotted in the Carolinas in March before heading across to Bermuda and then crossing the Atlantic to spend the summer in the Med.
