The 78.5 metre superyacht HAMPSHIRE II was seen again in Malta, this time wearing Blue/White Hull colour. Launched in 2012 with yard number 806, she is a magnificent twin screw custom vessel, built by the prestigious Dutch shipyard, Feadship.
First time she was spotted at Malta was in 2014 wearing white hull and 2 years later she was photographed by our excellent team (MSPAP) during her departure from Grand Harbour Marina (GHM) back to 25th May, 2016 –
