Necker Belle Catamaran Yacht

The Necker Belle is a 105-foot (32 m) private charter catamaran yacht, offered through Virgin Limited Edition and based at the resort Necker Island. The Belle superyacht is one of the few luxury sailing catamarans in the world.
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.
