Pegasus VIII
yacht built in Denmark
Pegasus VIII (formerly Pegasus V, formerly Princess Mariana) is a yacht originally built for Carlos Peralta, head of lusacell (now AT&T Mexico). The yacht was ordered in 2002 at the Danyard A/S Frederikshavn shipyard in Denmark. One year later Princess Mariana was delivered by Royal Denship. In 2006 she was the 33rd largest yacht in the world.
Design
Pegasus V has a length of 78.60 m (257.9 ft), beam of 14.40 m (47.2 ft) and draft of 4.50 m (14.8 ft). The yacht is driven by two main engines Deutz V12M SB 628 MWMs, which are giving enough power for the yacht to reach maximum speed of 17 knots (31 km/h; 20 mph).
Sales
In 2008 it was listed for sale for €125,000,000. That amount was reduced to €98,000,000 in 2009.
May 2011 saw the sale of Princess Mariana at an asking price of $98,000,000. Following the transaction, she was renamed Pegasus V and made available for charter.

Why this record matters
The phrase “yacht built in Denmark” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 14, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3374220. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2002, 2006, 2008 and 2009.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
