Lady Moura is a private luxury yacht. She was the ninth largest private yacht when she was launched in 1990 for USD$200 million (equivalent to $466 million in 2023)[1] but has moved down the list in 2021 to number 48. She was owned by Saudi Arabian businessman, Nasser Al-Rashid but bought by a Mexican businessman in 2021 from yacht broker Camper & Nicholsons for USD$125 million (equivalent to $141 million in 2023).[1]

Lady Moura has hosted several notable personalities, including George H. W. Bush and his wife Barbara.[2] Lady Moura ran aground in 2007 during the weekend of the Cannes Film Festival.[3][4]
