The Nahlin yacht is a historic vessel, built in the United Kingdom by Brown J and delivered in 1930. However, its historical significance goes beyond just its age. This pleasure craft, once home to the would-be King Edward VIII and his lover Wallis Simpson, is now owned by billionaire Sir James Dyson, famed for his vacuum cleaners. Just six years shy of a century old, Nahlin features an exterior designed by G.L. Watson & Co. Ltd and an interior crafted by Rémi Tessier. The motor yacht accommodates 14 guests and provides quarters for 47 crew members.

Vacuum cleaner billionaire, James Dyson’s 95-year-old Nahlin Yacht, is a testament to his maverick nature. The 300-foot vessel, featuring a gym, stately cabins, and viewing rooms, once carried kings and boasts a glamorous past.
