1. Destriero

   Destriero is a 67-metre (220 ft) long, 13-metre (43 ft) wide, 400-ton displacement, yacht built by Fincantieri in their Muggiano yard at La Spezia in 1991. She is fitted with three GE Aviation LM1600 gas turbines totalling 60,000-horsepower (45,000 kW), providing her with a maximum speed of 110 kilometres per hour (68 mph; 59 kn). Destriero was built with the sponsorship of the Aga Khan IV and others specifically to cross the Atlantic Ocean in record time of 3 days and secure the Blue Riband.In 1992 Destriero crossed the Atlantic, without refuelling, twice, firstly westbound from Tarifa Point, Spain to Ambrose Light, New York. Her eastbound voyage was from the Ambrose Light to Bishop Rock, Isles of Scilly, a distance of 3,106 nautical miles (5,752 km), at an average speed of 53.09 knots (98.32 km/h). Despite the record time of 58 hours, 34 minutes and 5 seconds, Destriero was denied the Hales Trophy, because she was classed as a "private yacht" and not a "commercial passenger vessel". Destriero did, however receive the Virgin Atlantic Challenge Trophy, awarded by former record-holder Richard Branson for the fastest crossing by any vessel, and the Columbus Atlantic Trophy sponsored by the Costa Smeralda and New York Yacht Clubs for the fastest trans-Atlantic round-trip.The ship was laid up in HMNB Devonport dockyard, Plymouth, England for ten years, but was removed in February 2009, reportedly for Lürssen ship yard.

1. Destriero

   Destriero is a 67-metre long, 13-metre wide, 400-ton displacement, 60,000-horsepower yacht built by Fincantieri in 1991. It is rumoured to belong to the Aga Khan. The yacht was originally fitted with three GE Aviation LM1600 gas turbines, providing it with a maximum speed of 110 kilometres per hour and raced for the Blue Riband award in 1992, but was denied it, because Destriero was classed as a "private yacht" and not a "commercial passenger vessel", despite sailing at an as yet unbeaten speed record of 53.1 knots average from New York to England without refueling. The ship was "laid up" in HMNB Devonport dockyard, Plymouth, England for ten years, but was removed in February 2009, reportedly for Lürssen ship yard.
