The bridge runs on a row of iMacs
Spotters swear the helm was fitted with a line of 27-inch iMacs instead of standard bridge consoles.
Our take: Photos of the bridge have backed this up for years. Somewhere an IT manager is very proud.
We buy itOur verdict
It looks like an Apple Store learned to swim, and we mean that as a compliment.

Her name is written in solid gold
Spotters love to claim the letters on her hull are 24-karat gold.
Our take: Gold leaf, maybe. Solid gold letters on a hull that eats salt spray every day? That's a maintenance nightmare, not a flex.
We don't buy itOur verdict
Lady Moura was doing beach clubs before beach clubs had a hashtag. Pure old-money swagger.

The pool is bigger than your house
Spotters swear the indoor pool is the largest ever fitted on a yacht, around 180 cubic meters of water.
Our take: Every credible build report backs it up. The real legend is whoever has to keep it balanced in a swell.
We buy itOur verdict
She is less a yacht and more a floating zip code. The pool is real, the scale is absurd, and she photographs like a cliff.
