Her last months princess diana, have been recorded as her happiest and are linked to the cruise she enjoyed with Dodi Al Fayed in the Mediterranean on Al Fayed’s £12 million ultra-luxury yacht ‘Jonikal’.
Now, 25 years later, the length A 64m yacht loaded with memorabilia from the princess’ last summer is up for sale, according to an exclusive Mirror report.
It was bought by Mohamed Al-Fayed, former owner of Harrods and Dodi’s father. The last owner of the yacht is the billionaire telecommunications tycoon Bassim Haidar, who a year after buying it put it up for sale.
The boat’s broker, John Wood, of Seawood Yachts, said: “The owners have a lot of reasons to want to change it, and that’s mainly because they want something even bigger.” The yacht was last sold for $10,000,000. It was renamed ‘Sokar’ and then ‘Bash’ based on Haidar’s initials.
According to House and Garden, the yacht was designed by shipbuilding architect Vincenzo Ruggiero in the 1980s and features, among other things, nine staterooms, a Jacuzzi, a dining room, an office, a lounge, a bar, with the wood being the necessary complement to its interior decoration.
According to Tatler, Fayette and Diana first met at a polo match in Windsor in 1986, while she was still married to Prince Charles. Dodi bought it two years before the two fell in love and the couple enjoyed it on three cruises – around Sardinia, Greece and the south of France – before flying to Paris in August 1997.
