Built in 1931, and lovingly restored
Initially launched in New York in 1931 and christened Cleopatra, Maid Marian 2 was renamed by her new owner, socialite Mrs. Ruth Nash Bliss, in 1933 as a nod to her brother’s luxury yacht, Maid Marian.
Maid Marian 2 has the distinction of having served as a patrol boat for the US Coast Guard during World War 2 before being moved to glittering Palm Beach, Florida upon Mrs. Nash’s retirement. She continued to live aboard the stately vessel until the 1990s when the boat was brought to the attention of Adrian Zecha, founder and chairman of the renowned Aman Resorts. Together with a team of investors, Mr. Hecha purchased Maid Marian 2 and brought her to Phuket, Thailand as a fixture at the world-famous Amanpuri Resort.
In 2007, Hollywood film director Roland Emmerich began his love affair with Maid Marian 2, having chartered her during a memorable trip to Thailand. Upon making the yacht his own, Emmerich commissioned the eminent British designer, John Teall, to complete a dramatic refurbishment, returning Maid Marian 2 to her original glory.
Today, Roland Emmerich shares his love of this magnificent vessel with discerning travellers like you.
Originally known as Cleopatra, she was launched in 1931 in New York.
