Pegasus VIII

Pegasus VIII (formerly Pegasus V, formerly Princess Mariana) is a yacht originally built for Carlos Peralta, head of lusacell (now AT&T Mexico). The yacht was ordered in 2002 at the Danyard A/S Frederikshavn shipyard in Denmark. One year later Princess Mariana was delivered by Royal Denship. In 2006 she was the 33rd largest yacht in the world.

Design
Pegasus V has a length of 78.60 m, beam of 14.40 m and draft of 4.50 m. The yacht is driven by two main engines Deutz V12M SB 628 MWMs, which are giving enough power for the yacht to reach maximum speed of 17 kn.

Sales
In 2008 it was listed for sale for €125,000,000. That amount was reduced to €98,000,000 in 2009. May 2011 saw the sale of Princess Mariana at an asking price of $98,000,000. Following the transaction, she was renamed Pegasus V and made available for charter. The selling price was reduced $6 million to $88 million in 2013. Ronald Tutor acquired the ship and later sold it in 2015 to Mohammed Bin Salman who christened her Pegasus VIII.
