Prince Jeffrey of Brunei
The yacht was originally planned for Prince Jeffrey of Brunei. The brother of the Sultan of Brunei. Construction started in 1996 in a collaboration between Lurssen Yachts and Blohm & Voss.
Around 2000 Prince Jeffrey suffered some legal problems with the State of Brunei. And he was forced to abandon the project. In 2001 the hull was acquired by Platinum Yachts in Dubai. And the project was finished as Royal Yacht for the Ruler of Dubai in 2006.
Dubai Royal Family Yachts
The Al Maktoum family owns many yachts including Dubawi and the Silver Yacht Smeralda. Both are probably owned by Sheikh Mohammed’s son. Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
The yacht Dubawi is a converted cruise ship. Also the yachts Quattroelle and Quattroelle Shadow are owned by the Royal Family. Reportedly by the Crown Prince.
