Bored with nautical white and navy blue for your superyacht? Then why not have it decked out in the iconic Gulf Racing colours of light blue and orange? That's what the owner of this 37-metre luxury yacht has done.
The owner is a racing fanatic and has even had the number 10 painted on a racing roundel to denote this is the tenth boat of its type to be built. Just to be certain nobody mistakes the yacht's tender, either, the smaller boat has been painted in the same colours.
To underline the owner's taste for exotic cars, the yacht has been named Aurelia after the Lancia sports car. Inside, the cabins are named after famous Italian car designers, so there's the Bertone suite finished in Lamborghini orange, Pininfarina cabin in Ferrari red and the Zagato room in Aston Martin green.
Built by Dutch firm Heesen, the Aurelia is 37 metres long, has five cabins, a living room and dining room, and all of the bedrooms are en suite. A pair of Seakeeper gyro stabilisers keeps the yacht level, especially when anchored, for maximum comfort and the Aurelia has a maximum speed of 30 knots.
