The Monte Carlo (formerly Sea Pumpkin, Princess Marla, and Princess Tina) arrived in Symi Harbour in the evening. At 40.4 metres, it's not the largest yacht of the summer, and with twenty years of cruising behind it, not the youngest either. It has, though (according to its Wikipedia article) had Pierce Brosnan and Mariah Carey as previous notable passengers.
The Wikipedia article has this to say about Monte Carlo:
Monte Carlo was built by Amels in their Hakvoort shipyard in The Netherlands and launched in 1988. It was designed by Diana Yacht Design BV. It underwent an extensive refit in 1999 (including an interior refit designed by Dee Robinson), and lesser refits in 2004 and 2006.
Monte Carlo currently cruises the Mediterranean Sea in the Summer cruising season, and the Caribbean in the Winter cruising season, crossing the Atlantic Ocean twice each year.
The main propulsion of Monte Carlo is provided by 2 MTU diesel engines, generating 2,924 kW, driving 2 fixed-pitch propellers.
Length: 132.6 ft. (40.4 m)
Beam: 27.2 ft. (8.3 m)
Draft: 7.8 ft. (2.4 m)
Engines: 2 × 1,960 HP MTU 12V396TB diesels
Crew: 7-8
Staterooms: 4 double
