Coral Ocean, a 1994-built Lürssen yacht formerly known as Coral Island, has been sold to a new owner. The 72.54-metre yacht was sold at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show to the founder of the Ahoy Club, Ian Malouf. Finalised in just three days, the sale was one of the quickest and largest to occur during the Monaco Yacht Show.
