#MotorYacht - A striking looking Maltese flagged luxury charter motoryacht Lauren L, arrived this morning into Dublin Port to berth opposite the Poolbeg Yacht & Boat Club marina, writes Jehan Ashmore.

The 2,991 tonnes vessel built in Germany by the Cassens Werft shipyard, firstly began a career as a cruisehip. Under the name Sun Bay II, she made her debut season cruising in European waters and where she made a call to Dun Laoghaire Harbour, berthing alongside the ferry terminal at St. Michael's Wharf.

Under her current role, Lauren L as a charter yacht, she is able to host cocktail parties for up to 150 guests and overnight accommodation for 48 guests and all in the lap of luxury.

Features of the near 90m long vessel includes a conference room and centre, library, lido bar as well as a formal dining room plus a bow-mounted helicopter pad to shuttle guests to and fro.

Lauren L has a crew of 32 and she has worked in destinations such as the Cannes Film Festival. To charter the luxury motoryacht for a single week, this will set you back a mere €695,000, so get that lotto ticket!

She is approximately twice the size of the 52 passenger capacity cruisehip Quest, which called twice last year to Dun Laoghaire Harbour, where the port resumed in bringing this sector back after a break of more than a decade.

Next week, Dun Laoghaire Harbour looks forward in welcoming the giant 2,620 passenger liner Queen Mary 2. The Cunard Line 151,400 tonnes flagship will be making her maiden 'Dublin Bay' call with an anchorage call offshore of the harbour.
