#42: PRINCESS MARIANA—252’3″
Carlos Peralta Quintero, president of Mexican telecommunications company Iusacell, has an unusual tender for this Danish-built yacht: a racy-looking 115-footer named Moon Goddess that was also built in Denmark (but by Danish Yacht). While Moon Goddess can zip around at 45 knots, Princess Mariana‘s no slouch in the performance department, having traveled extensively on both sides of the Atlantic. So far this year she’s been seen in the Caribbean and Mexico.
