Necker Belle Catamaran Yacht

Prior to being purchased by Richard Branson's Virgin, the yacht was called Lady Barbaretta, and cost £5300000 for Branson to obtain. It required a two year refit to emerge as the Belle, and operates with a crew of seven. The refit won the 2010 best new refit at the World Superyacht Awards. The yacht has a top speed in excess of 20 knots, being rare in the world as being able to do so.
The Necker Nymph excursion submersible also operates from the yacht. It is reputedly the first-of-its-kind "aero submarine", buoyant when not under power.
