Disco Volante yacht

Technical data, sources and links, related bmt 216a pages.

This spectacular yacht is owned by SPECTRE and is used by Emilio Largo, SPECTRE's no 2, as part of his disguise and to transport the stolen atomic bombs. When attacked by US Navy vessels, the yacht parts in two. After separation the cocoon then revealed its secondary function as a weapon platform and armour-plated battlestation. Equipped with an anti-aircraft cannon and machineguns it tried to cover the escape of the hydrofoil.

The PT 20 hydrofoil is the worlds first ever commercial hydrofoil, and went into regular passenger service in 1956. It was first used on the route Messina - Reggio Calabria, and the route was driven by the company Società Aliscafi partly owned by Rodriquez. The type PT 20 stands for "pesa tonnellate 20" - i.e. weighing twenty tonnes. Similar models has been build on license by yards in Japan and Norway.

Rodriquez has build a total of 46 PT 20's in the period 1956 to 1971. The hydrofoilsystem used for the PT 20 is licenced from the Swiss company Supramar.

The boat used in 'Thunderball' is the second hydrofoil build by Rodriquez and its original name is 'Flying Fish'. It was modified by 3M Shipyard in Miami Yard and equipped with a 50 ft cocoon, a katamaran, which could be separated from the hydrofoil. The boat costed $10.000, but the total including the cocoon and modifications was arround $500.000. Several large scale models was build for filming.

For the final blow-up of Disco Volante, experimental rocket fuel was used as main explosives. The explosion was so powerfull that it broke windows in Nassau's Bay Street 30 miles away, and sent the boat skyhigh.

The Three Disco's

Disco Volante

For the filming three different boats were used. The hydrofoil 'Flying Fish' got the most screen time. An unidentified boat is only seen in a very very short clip before it is blown up. And the third Disco, a yacht 'Natoya' is seen in distance in short scenes.

It was during extraction of new pictures we suddenly discovered the long sleek yacht posing as 'Disco Volante' in some of the scenes. We call her the 'Third Disco', but in fact her name was 'Nataya'. Unfortunately she does not exist any more, but ended her days as a reef.

She was one of six Cruisemaster yachts build by Defoe Shipyard in 1947/8 and sailed the Great Lakes for about 20 years. Her owner was Harold DuCharme of Grosse Pte. MI. She was sold and sailed to Florida in the 1960's. The Cruisemasters were equipped with four General Motors 6-71N Diesels, mounted 2 in-line on a side. Length: 36m (188'). Beam: 5,64m (18'6").

Searching for the hydrofoil

We have tried to track the current location of the 'Flying Fish' and the cocoon. But our conclusion of all the information we have gathered is the boat has been scrapped somewhere in the 80's. During our search we got a lot of interesting stories and sightings. And we would like to thank you all very much for sharing your information with us. The following is the information we gathered.

The cocoon was used a houseboat in Griffin Mariner, Daina Florida, and was sold in 1974 by Gary W. to Marvin Taylor. Thanks to Gary W. for contacting us. In 1974-76 it was moored on the south side of the Miami River near 36 Street still being used as a houseboat according to Jorge.

The hydrofoil was sold after the filming as stated in an advertise in Miami Herald (see the advertise at the website of International Hydrofoil Society ). An observation in the early 1980's. It was resting for years next to the Chalk's Ocean Airways airbridge facility on Watson island in Miami Florida--between the Miami seaport and South Beach.

Disco Volante yacht

A confirmation names Watson Island as the location. 1983: Spottet on blocks at the Port Everglades container storage area in Fort Lauderdale. Condition was very poor, it might be bound for the scrap yard. The International Hydrofoil Society has no trace of her. And neither has Rodriques. A sistership is located somewhere in the Philipines.

James Bond - Disco Volante, Emilio Largo's hydrofoil yacht

March 19 2020

Written by Yachting Art English Edition

Thunderball, the fourth opus in the James Bond series, is an opportunity to discover a yacht less ordinary than one might think at first glance: Disco Volante!

James Bond - Disco Volante, Emilio Largo's hydrofoil yacht

It is in the Bahamas, in Nassau, that we discover Disco Volante, the personal yacht of Emilio Largo, a billionaire as flamboyant as he is ruthless, anchored off the coast of his superb seaside villa, Palmyra.

Number 2 of the criminal organization Spectre, headed by Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Emilio Largo is the president of a Paris-based charity, the International Center for Assistance to Displaced Persons.

Within Spectre, Emilio Largo is in charge of Extortion and responsible for the NATO Project, which consists in stealing 2 nuclear bombs from the latter, in exchange for £100 million!

At the heart of this scheme is Disco Volante, a yacht whose objective is not to entertain its rich owner for sea trips between the Bahamas and Florida, but to work underhand... to transport the said atomic bombs.

Its entrails conceal a diving lock, housing an underwater transport vehicle, essential to go and store nuclear weapons in an underwater cave, before positioning one off the coast of Miami!

However, the main characteristic of Disco Volante does not lie in this dive chamber, but in its very concept: built in Sicily, at the Rodriquez Cantieri Messina shipyard, Disco Volante is in fact a hydrofoil motoryacht, made up of two detachable parts, the catamaran stern - the 15 m long cocoon - housing the flybridge, which can be clipped onto the forward drive section. 

This front part (20.75m long) is in fact a Rodriquez PT20, the very first production hydrofoil boat, built in 1957, and which will be transformed for production needs in Puerto Rico, after an investment of nearly 500,000 dollars.

A pioneer, the Rodriquez PT 20 will be the very first commercial hydrofoil boat to be put into service on a regular service, Messina, Reggio Calabria operated by SNAV (Società Navigazione Alta Velocità ). With its 1350hp V12, its capacity to carry 72 passengers, the Rodriquez PT 20 flew at 37 knots, in the greatest comfort (for 50 knots in the novel and 20 knots in the movie, a fake beard from Largo to Bond, to hide the true nature of his yacht!)

I'll get the ball rolling here with an easy one: Never Say Never Again , 1983 (adaptation of Thunderball) the Disco Volante was renamed The Flying Saucer, (its English translation), and owned by Maximillian Largo. In real life, the 282-foot yacht that was used in long shots for the film was known as the Nabila and was built for Saudi wheeler/dealer Adnan Khashoggi. The yacht was later sold to American wheeler/dealer Donald Trump, who renamed it Trump Princess. Later Trump sold it to Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz al Saud, who christened it the Kingdom 5KR. 1980 Benetti FB116
Tomorrow Never Dies 1997 - Media Villain, Elliot Carver was quite ability armed with the "Sea Shadow" In real life, she was revealed to the public in 1993, Sea Shadow (IX-529) is an experimental stealth ship built by Lockheed for the United States Navy to determine how a low radar profile might be achieved. She was housed at the San Diego Naval Station until September 2006, when the vessel was relocated with the HMB-1 to the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet in Benicia, CA. The vessels are available for donation to a maritime museum. Length: 164 ft (50 m) Beam: 68 ft (21 m) Draft: 15 ft (4.6 m) Displacement: 563 long tons (572 t) Propulsion: Diesel-electric Speed: 28 knots (52 km/h; 32 mph) Sea Shadow has only 12 bunks aboard, one small microwave oven, a refrigerator and table. She was never intended to be mission capable and was never commissioned, although she is listed in the Naval Vessel Register.

That Sea Shadow thing was just beautiful. While googling it, I also came across another X-ship that was looking like a giant tarantula and has two flexible rubber hulls "to contour waves". Wonder if anything "mission-capable" ever came out of those projects.

MBLANC said: ↑ ------------------------------------------------------------- ADDENDUM First owner was Adnan Kashoggi of SA and name of yacht was NABILA (not Nabilia), after his daughter's surname. It was then the largest yacht ever built with 87m (not 86). Later, A.K. had to sell it and the subsequent owner was the richest royalty in the world, 29th sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah. He anchored the boat near the state's capital Bandar Seri Begawan with a permanent captain on duty, who resigned from boring at dock since HH H. Bolkiah never sailed the yacht. D. Trump acquired then the boat, mistakingly thinking it was [still] the largest yacht available ; seems Mr Trump was not well informed nor knowledgeable in the matter. Learning the truth, he ordered for a complete cutout of the yacht to install an extension (+ 13 or 14m if I remember well). He never sailed the yacht himself anyway,...etc.etc.) Click to expand...

Capt Ralph Senior Member

I can not give an exact date; Trump Princess spent one night on a barge ball in Jacksonville fl approx '89/90. There was a stir on the radio with the StJohns Pilots. Because of her draft a pilot was required. The T P argued it a while on the open radio and lost. While on the Ball, across from the ole Gator Bowl stadium, I circled her a few times on my boat late that night. Every circle around her, more security people came on deck and followed us around. At that time, she would have been the largest private boat that far up our river.

Draft dictates the rule. Not sure of the number; any draft more than 8 feet must have a pilot for Jax/Port - StJohns river. It's a close band of pilots here in Jax. An outsider may never work here. But once in a while you do hear of a boo boo.

Catastrophes, wars, terrorism, ecological disasters, deadly diseases, poverty .... The list of tragedies - both personal and public - is endless. Every day and hour media, politicians, experts - and charlatans - bring us a never ending barrage of bad things. No wonder that many people feel depressed and weary.

The story of the disco volante, mr. largo´s ship in the fourth bond movie.


6 comments:

I believe that most of the stock shots of the boat at anchor are not of the ferry, but but of an old yacht called the "Natoya", originally from Great Lakes and built by Defoe shipyards in 1947. I sailed on her and know her lines so I recognized her in the movie. Why her instead of the ferry I don't know. After the movie, I believe she was sunk in the ocean on a reef. Email with questions at [email protected].

I have now double checked and the Natoya is in two stock scenes, in which she is at anchor. >> I will find the timings in the movie and post them. She is recognizable by the straight drop of her bow, instead of the curve of the ferry. Also, the sheer line from the bow back is straight and does not have the drop curve about 30' back from the bow like the ferry. [email protected]

I always wondered why the "Disco" on certain backround shots didn't quite look like the two-piece main hydrofoil. And why was that yacht there in the first place? Was it the inspiration for the "Flying Fish" conversion?

I have some pictures of the Flying Fish. My uncle was a captain on it during filming.

Would you still have the photos? Would you be able to make perfect, clear copies of them? I would be very interested in good copies, for a model I would like to build. Regards Alex [email protected]

Would love to connect with the fellow who said their uncle captained the Disco Volante during filming. [email protected]

The story of the Disco Volante, Mr. Largo´s ship in the fourth Bond movie.

Thunderball, the fourth James Bond film starring Sean Connery was a huge success already in its opening year 1965 and is, to date, the most financially successful movie in the series. (Adjusting for inflation the movie had made $966.4 million in 2008 currency).

Mr. Largo´s ship Disco Volante plays an important role in Thunderball. A recent viewing of the beautifully restored blu-ray version of the movie, made me curious about the ship´s story.

The real craft used in the film was a hydrofoil ferry, The Flying Fish, built by Rodriquez Cantieri Navali, who had built the first successful one at Freccia del Sole. The “cocoon” was built on set. It was purchased for the film for $500,000 and brought from Puerto Rico to Miami for refitting and refurbishment. The hydrofoil never sailed again after the filming. It was rented as a stationary houseboat, docked at a marina on Miami’s MacArthur Causeway, until it sank at the dock in the early 1980s.

Description

Another off the wall Benchy. This time modelled on the Disco Volante hydrofoil from 007 Thunderball.

I finally got around to printing it. Discovered issues, changed those issues and now it prints just fine. It will need supports. I added custom supports to areas that need it. Most especially the gun area at the front of the cocoon and the areas underneath the gun that the modified Benchy slides into. 

I opted for a slightly different funnel design on this Benchy mod to make it similar to the cocoon funnel. I also made the gun a separate print piece to ease the problems that would arise in the tight area at the front of the cocoon. 

There are 3 files.

cocoon, Hydrofoil and a gun.

I designed them to fit together and slide apart easily.

TYW on the RADIO

Posted on 4th January 2022

We are lucky to work with some seriously talented artists and, on occasion, there comes an opportunity to show them off outside of our events. That is why, on the third Friday of every month since May 2021, The Yacht Week has taken over the mighty Data Transmission Radio show for an exclusive hour. 

With episode 7 of our radio show having just launched, we thought it was time to do a little TLDR on each installment so far for those looking to get a taste of what they might hear at peak-time, wall-heaving Club 585 in Croatia, or Ostria Nightclub in Greece.

All of these (and more) can be listened back to by checking out TYW Selects . Alternatively, you can check out live-streams from past events featuring Claptone and Gorgon City live from the Circle/Tunnel Raft, as well as our very own Klynk recording from Carpe Diem Beach.

Episode #001 - Frisky Disco

Kicking things off is our resident Australian and Head of Entertainment - Frisky Disco - with an hour of old and new school Disco and House records that would fit in just as well at Studio 54 as it does on the dance floor of Fort George. What better way to kick off the new series than with an hour of Saturday Night Fever. We’re excited, you’re excited, Disco is BACK!

Episode #002 - Alex Ebs

In the best way possible, it is hard to quantify Alex Ebs as an artist because the guy is so damn good. You never know what you are going to get but it is always guaranteed to blow the roof off. Going in a different direction than his beloved Moombah and hip hop, Alex has put together a slammin’ mix of house, tech and minimal that will take you right back to the dance floor at Club 585.

Episode #003 - Frida Harnesk

Joining the team in 2019 and having been a regular fixture since, this Swedish superstar is loved by our guests and staff alike. With a predilection for vocals that will have the crowd singing along, thumping basslines and afro beats, Frida Harnesk ’s sets are always a high-energy affair and she has the versatility to keep the vibes running all night.

Episode #004 - Sivz

A new addition to our resident lineup in 2021, Sivz brings pure joyful house of all kinds whatever dancefloor she happens to grace. An instant hit at our parties, her hour of 4/4 goodness will take you right back to the waters of Croatia. Sun out, hats on, drinks full, Buzz Boat primed - good times ahead.

Episode #005 - Klynk

Formerly known as Bladtkramer, there is not much more praise that we can give this bloke that has not been said before. As one of our longest-running residents and most beloved members of the crew, Mads’ performances are always a masterclass wherever he plays. Launching a new alias Klynk in 2020, these days the first of our featured Danes is our resident techno, minimal and breakbeat expert with production and performance credits to match. 

Episode #006 - Yidah

A new addition to our lineup in 2022, we couldn’t wait until the summer to hear Yidah rip some tunes so she very kindly put this hour together for us. Having moved from Trinidad & Tobago to London in recent years, Yidah brings a uniquely Caribbean spin to her sets while also taking influence from UK house, disco and hip hop scene(s) having called London her home since 2020.

Episode #007 - Milo S.

If latin and afro vibes are more your speed then long-time TYW superstar Milo S has you well and truly covered. Making his mark on the European club scene over the last decade, the Danish lad stands out from the ever-growing crowd with impeccable song selection, a deep-seated knowledge of all things house and a smile that brightens up any venue he plays!
