Paloma cruising off Virgin Gorda

The 60m Paloma is one of the few yachts built by the Japanese shipyard Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Ind. Other yachts built by this shipyard are the Greek based Beluga & Anemos and the Philippine Presidential yacht Ang Pangulo. Paloma was launched in 1965 for a Greek shipping family who owned the yacht until 2003. After she was sold, her new French owner brought the yacht to Malta were she underwent a comprehensive refit. Today she can often be found in Valletta, Malta and Cannes, France.
