Ark Angel, Yacht, IMO: 7821867
This luxury yacht has been in Puerto Galera for a few weeks now. I first saw it off small Tabinay beach, and wished I had a better camera.
The Super Yacht Ark Angel has 8 Cabins: 1 Master, 1 VIP, 4 Double, 1 Twin and 1 Single. It is capable of accommodating 14 guests.
It has two helicopter decks, one of them suitable for a small helicopter and the other for a larger size.
This was my photo from the Beach, with a cheap camera.
This photo showed one of its helicopters onboard.
This one, a week later on August 3rd 2013, in Muelle Bay, as I went past in a ferry, leaving Puerto Galera.
and this later in the day still moored in Muelle Bay, as I went past in the ferry home.
Not a good picture, but it was enough for me to get a record of the name.
