World-renowned charter yacht Triple Seven berthed at Manoel Island Marina after maintenance works in Malta. This superyacht won the Best Power Award in the Over 43-Metre Category of the annual International Superyacht Society 2008.

The 67.7 metre luxury, built by German company Nobiskrug and designed by New Cruise, was launched in 2006 and belongs to Chelsea-owner Roman Abrahmovic.

Triple Seven can accommodate at least 12 guests and 18 crew members. It boasts an owner’s stateroom, three double guest cabins and a twin cabin. The yacht has a cruising speed of 15 knots. Its name is derived from the yacht’s hull number (M/Y 777).

“The Manoel Island Marina is known in the yachting industry to meet their requirement for a meticulous and specialised service, which is also networked throughout the Mediterranean,” said Pierre Balzan director for the Manoel Island Marina and Melita Marine Group.

“The fact that yet another prestigious yacht has chosen us reflects the kind of trust and confidence our company enjoys, for itself and for Malta. The yachting sector is an increasingly important business for the country.”
