MV Savarona

The MV Savarona (also sometimes M/Y, for motor yacht) is the presidential yacht of the Republic of Turkey. She was the largest in the world when launched February 28, 1931, and remains, with a length of 136 m (446 ft), one of the world's longest. Although owned by the Government of Turkey, she had been leased out to Turkish businessman Kahraman Sadıkoğlu. However, upon orders of the Turkish Government, her lease was terminated and she reverted to the Turkish State. The first time she was used again for an official reception was in March 2015.
