The city itself is steeped in history and culture, offering a unique blend of ancient Roman architecture and vibrant modern life. We explored the well-preserved Roman amphitheatre, the Tarragona Cathedral, and the ancient city walls that tell stories of the city’s rich past. Wandering through the narrow streets, we discovered charming plazas, local markets, and a variety of cultural landmarks that showcase Tarragona's diverse heritage.During our stay, we enjoyed a spectacular fireworks display at the beach, lighting up the sky with vibrant colours.

We sat down with the general manager, Marc Colls, to understand the functioning of the unique underwater bubble barrier. This system maintains water quality and prevents contamination within the marina by releasing a continuous stream of bubbles from the bottom, creating an upward current that blocks debris and pollutants, such as oil, from entering the marina. One of the key benefits of this bubble barrier is its dual functionality. In addition to physically blocking waste, it oxygenates the water, which helps maintain a healthy marine environment by reducing debris accumulation and improving water quality. This process not only protects the marina from contamination but also enhances overall operational efficiency.Future PlansLooking ahead, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a> has exciting plans to improve its operations and enhance communication with crew members.

SuperYacht Times received a first view of the newly complete superyacht as she made a spectacular reentry into the Mediterranean charter season, following her purchase by the Australian entrepreneur Ian Malouf in 2019.

This 72.54-metre yacht was one of the yard’s largest projects at the time, and remains the 43rd largest yacht to hold the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a> name.

She was considered large at the time of her launch, but her steel hull and aluminium superstructure underpinned an extraordinary layout; with aspects such as the aft deck staircase and the articulated levels on the top deck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231633/image/large-0a5d5cb0af4862cd6a32a685acdac391.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231633"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231670/image/large-75eceffb9124cd937a9e1bbdb8aeabf1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231670">The yacht Coral Island was privately owned and was not seen in public at all.

Despite her 20-year lineage, and various interior refits over the years, the yacht had remained faithful to the original design style, with the rustic, tribal style preserved with a neutral palette of creams and browns.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231691/image/large-fb8834c87ff20a97afd04637f999913c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231691"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231690/image/large-a39ae08d3c2cf283975833b8ccc814d4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231690">In 2019, Ian Malouf, founder of digital yacht marketplace <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5102" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ahoy Club (Company)">Ahoy Club</a>, stepped aboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/233" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Coral Ocean72.54m (237'12&quot;)Lürssen Yachts1994">Coral Ocean</a>, marking the beginning of the next chapter of her life.

The €35 million rebuild spared no expense and left no detail incomplete, and she was unveiled to the world at the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231674/image/large-082c723638e92ac4f8b2adaeb69dae4b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231674">The Malouf family isn’t strangers to revolutionary refits, as their striking French navy hull and white boot stripe superyacht, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/984" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mischief 152.45m (172'1&quot;)Baglietto S.p.A.2006">Mischief</a> was transformed in 2016. Her dark mahogany woods were replaced with white, bright spaces and more informal entertainment areas. The refit was hailed as an overwhelming success, with the weekly charter rate increasing by a total of €50,000 as a result. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231660/image/large-c484850598eca4919b3164a38e9761f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231660"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/233" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Coral Ocean72.54m (237'12&quot;)Lürssen Yachts1994"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231656/image/large-5d1c6c98031b06346d0259884e90741f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231656">Coral Ocean</a> has been transformed on similar principles of perfection, oozing luxury and elegance in every way. The ability to accommodate up to twelve guests across six beautiful staterooms remains unchanged.

Her interiors are just as special as the exterior, with a dramatic use of white reflective surfaces, accented with green and blue tones, give her a real sense of elegance, sophistication and style. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231641/image/large-f09fb924bf633f6b2b848eba97f64562.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231641"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231640/image/large-c1d3da72fdda8d94bf8157ac62962c9b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231640"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/233" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Coral Ocean72.54m (237'12&quot;)Lürssen Yachts1994">Coral Ocean</a>’s sundeck received a major overhaul, featuring a newly created sky lounge, a spa pool complete with glass floor, spacious loungers, and an indoor bar offering with floor-to-ceiling retractable glass windows, for the ultimate indoor-outdoor experience. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231638/image/large-427c775507e5548d845dd2d5c5a2d2b2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231638">The rebuild of the owner’s deck was just as significant, with the master bedroom doubling in size. The room is flooded with plenty of natural light thanks to two large skylight windows, and &nbsp;panoramic windows that offer 180-degree views from the super-king bed. The master bedroom is equipped with his and hers ensuite bathrooms with an infrared sauna, hair salon facilities and a private lounge area. An adjoining treatment room also provides a private sanctuary for all of their health and beauty needs.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231684/image/large-00923a38e3233522d2664c59828d2d63.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231684"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231682/image/large-8341e8c6eff835d97ee442cc24e9a954.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231682">The changes made to the two upper decks increased the overall volume of the yacht by approximately 150 GT, ensuring every bit of the yacht was maximised for guest enjoyment.
