In the meantime, Captain PierFrancesco Cafaro revealed details of one of the initiative’s first projects: “We invited autistic children and young kids from the special Olympic team to sail aboard in Malta last year, and we will do this again in Greece this year. The paperwork is still being finalised so more details will follow on how the foundation will work and how people can get a first-hand look at this incredible, iconic vessel. This promotion started last year with giving accessibility to the Maltese Falcon to individuals who might not have the opportunity to see such an item of luxury.” “We feel that the promotion and the safeguard of the ocean and the seas is something that must accompany the Maltese in whatever it does. “We know that the seas are unfortunately in trouble, thanks to plastic and over-fishing, while over-use of sea resources is diminishing the value of the whole eco-system within the sea,” Valenzia continued. With comfortable lounge chairs and a projector beaming blockbusters onto her forward sail, Maltese Falcon is enough to satisfy any movie buff.Maltese Falcon Captain Pierfrancesco Cafaro and crew Burgess In mere moments, the lounging space at the bow of her sundeck transforms into a cinema. In the post, Burgess also announced that the vessel is under new ownership, revealing that she had recently been sold. She has a cinema onboardĪmongst the many luxuries found onboard, perhaps the most impressive amenity is a cinema. 1977 In a social media post yesterday afternoon, the yacht brokerage house Burgess announced that it had been chosen as the central agent for the charter of the 88-metre Perini Navi sailing yacht Maltese Falcon. The vessel (which is now called Paz) was the second yacht ever built by Perini Navi. The Italian shipyard had previously delivered the 43m Andromede la Dea in 1987. Before building the famous sailing yacht, Perkins already had an established relationship with Perini Navi, the shipyard that built the Maltese Falcon. It was with this fortune that he commissioned the Maltese Falcon back in 2000. In 2014, Forbes estimated his net worth at an eye-watering $8bn. Perkins was the owner of one of the most successful venture capital firms in the world. The Maltese Falcon’s original owner was Thomas Perkins. Additionally, there is space for an outdoor cinema on the sundeck and an inflatable water slide. Facilities onboard include a full-deck masters suite and full-beam VIP suite. To enjoy the luxury aboard the vessel, up to 12 guests can expect to pay a whopping $400,000 per week.

Nowadays, several sailing yachts are considerably bigger, including Oceanco’s Black Pearl, as well as Y721, which is due to be delivered in 2022. The superyacht held onto this accolade for 9 years until 2015, when Nobiskrug delivered the 143m Sailing Yacht A, ending the Maltese Falcon’s reign at the top. At 88m in length, her size was incredibly impressive. She’s a former record holderĪt the time of her delivery, the Maltese Falcon held the title of the world’s largest sailing yacht. Considering her age, it is impressive how she still holds her own next to the more modern vessels built in recent years. In 2014, Forbes estimated his net worth at an eye-watering 8bn. After a refit in 2020, she is looking fresher than ever, ready to take her guests on adventures all over the globe. The Maltese Falcon’s original owner was Thomas Perkins.
