Co worker told me: I spent $200 on fuel, $100 on bait and tackle to catch 3 fish I could not keep… Much cheaper to go to the Tourist Restaurant.

Lots of Superyachts visiting Ålesund at this time of the year, but this one is more super than most:
The yacht “Legend” at Aspevågen in Ålesund. The yacht is 77 m long, 13.2 m wide.

On the other side of town another Superyacht was at anchor:
Here is “M & Em” in Valderhaugfjorden, north of Skansekaia in Ålesund.

With its 74 meters in length and 12.45 meters in width, “M & Em” impresses. The yacht was built by Amels in the Netherlands in 2022.
In the world ranking of largest yachts, “M & Em” is listed as number 257. The yacht is the 15th largest built by Amels. As of today’s date, the yacht is not for sale.
A bit smaller yacht came in the late afternoon (1900 hrs.), but was also assigned an anchorage only:

PS> The reason why these yachts were at anchor was that there were three cruise ships at the Cruise Centre and the daily Coastal Express use the only other ISPS wharf available.
Lots of Superyachts visiting Ålesund and the fjords of Sunnmøre this year.
Here is one that has been a regular this summer, M/Y Suri, built by Halter Marine as a OSV in 1978. Converted to Superyacht in 2007:

Big Beaver is notorious for a stunt she did in Norway in 2022:
The 25-meter-long yacht, worth around 70 million kroner, became the big talk of the summer along the Sørland coast in 2022. The video of “Big Beaver” speeding through a narrow strait in Søgne was watched by hundreds of thousands of Norwegians.

25m is just a boat.
“Big Beaver is a 25.88m superyacht”
Maybe those extra 88 cm. makes her a Superyacht?
Ilona was waiting near the airport at Vigra for a couple of days.
She is now anchored in Norangsfjorden, off Øye:
Her guests are probably gone ghost hunting at Hotel Union Øye:
…and an ugly one at that.
A regular visitor is back in Ålesund tonight:
