You know how a Jaguar E type looks like it's doing 60 mph when it's parked? To me, this radically designed motor yacht is reminiscent of that same 'feel'. She looks like she is doing 40 knots, even when anchored up!

Looking again at Max's (or rather, Manos) drone video of this baby anchored off the Anassa hotel, I was half expecting a crew member to appear on deck, armed with a Kalashnikov, to shoot the drone down, LOL!

AL ;)

You can't hear a drone coming! But whether the yacht is armed who knows?

I would expect that the guy has armed guards aboard and rightly so...some of the comments on here to me sound of the green eyed monster,...

I believe that Manos video, how it is done, is purely PR, from the Anassa Hotel arranged and paid. Sure the Russian owner is proud to see his expensive "toy" in such a nice professional video published....and Anassa like to show off, who are their customers..

Yes you can! That is why we don't fly drones during wedding ceremonies.

Unfortunately almost all drone pilots are unregistered, unlicensed and uninsured and fly drones wherever they like, near people, near built up areas and even right next to the airport.

Let's hope that the DCA start clamping down properly on these people and start prosecuting and confiscating the drones.
