A yacht is a status. If a person can afford to buy such a watercraft, then he has achieved in his financial life high altitudes. For many wealthy people, buying a yacht means realizing and making a dream come true.
Even a small yacht costs a lot of money, by the standards of ordinary citizens. And the rich can afford to have their own ship. Most expensive yachts in the world are, rather, floating houses, because they are equipped with the maximum modern technologies, and the interior decoration of the chambers is striking in its richness and splendor.
Sailing or motor
Like a bird, she glides easily over the waves. She is a dream... Imagination draws a snow-white structure with sails. True, if you look at the most expensive yachts in the world, we will not see sails. All these structures are motorized. Sailing ships purchased, as a rule, by those who travel on long distance and from time to time takes part in regattas. The presence of sails gives them a beautiful and romantic look. But being on such a yacht can cause discomfort to unprepared passengers - they will feel all the "charms" of pitching and seasickness.
Very rich people value their comfort and safety, so their yachts are motorized. These vehicles have a high speed of movement thanks to the engines. And they are comfortable due to the built-in stabilizer. True, the most expensive yachts in the world consume a large number of fuel. But for billionaires, this is not a problem. They are willing to pay a lot for their vacation.

The largest private yacht in the world July 23rd, 2016
A German company called Lürssen, which specializes in the production of elite and luxury yachts, released in 2013 the world's largest mega yacht, calling it Azzam.
This yacht is the largest charter motor vessel.

Besides the fact that the Azzam class model is the largest vessel in the whole world, even larger than the yacht of Roman Abramovich himself, she is also one of the fastest in her class.
Its size is amazing. Just imagine: 180 meters is two football fields or 12 railway wagons. At the same time, Azzam can easily accelerate to a maximum speed of 30 knots (55 km/h). This is assisted by two gas turbines with a total capacity of 94,000 hp, four water jets and a Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged diesel engine with a capacity of 108,920 hp. (80,088 kW).
It is the largest engine in the world: its length is 27.1 m, its height is 13.4 m, and it weighs over 2,300 tons. Originally designed for container ships, it is ideal for a 180-meter mega-yacht. There is no doubt that with such dimensions, there is enough space left on board the mega-yacht to realize any fantasies of the customer. Even her main salon has no analogues in the world: length - 29 m, width 18 m.

To service a ship of such impressive size, five hundred crew members are needed. About one million fuel can be poured into the tank of a yacht of this class, which allows its owner and guests to travel the world all year round without entering the port to refuel the vessel. One of the advantages of an azzam class yacht is that she can easily navigate through shallow water at very high speeds.

Design interior decoration engaged in a popular and talented French designer, whose name is Christophe Leoni. The famous designer in his work adhered to the Empire style.

Detailed information about the ship's interior this moment no, but it is known from reliable sources that the area of the big saloon azzam is thirty by twenty meters, this salon does not contain pillars that divide the interior space. It is also known that the length of the open terrace is over eighteen meters.

The interior of the yacht, Christophe Leoni designed in a magnificent imperial, expensive and luxurious style. Most of the furniture, which is harmoniously placed on the ship, is antique, made from valuable and expensive woods.
Partially antique furniture painted with gold and decorated with jewelry stones. It is said that a yacht of this class has a submarine on board, as well as a helicopter.

The designers reported that this vessel is the most complex and lengthy project of the company. Mubarak Saad al Ahbabi is the lead engineer who built the superyacht.
Photo 8. 
The customer and current owner of the Azzam yacht is Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates and Emir of Abu Dhabi, whose fortune is estimated by Forbes at $15 billion. The construction of the vessel was preceded by a design competition, in which the exterior from the Milanese studio Nauta Yacht Design and the interior from the French designer Christophe Leoni won. The technical management of the building was carried out by Burgess Yachts. The chief engineer was Mubarak Saad al Ahbabi.
There was a version that this is the owner of the yacht.

Nauta Yachts is an Italian company that designed the Azzam class vessel, and the German company Lurssen, which is located in the city of Bremen, was directly involved in the construction of this magnificent and majestic mega yacht.

It is known that the style in which interior spaces Azzam, is close to the neoclassicism of the early 19th century - the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. In the absence of photographs from the board of the mega-yacht - no one has yet been able to obtain them, even reputable international yachting publications - one can imagine something reminiscent of the imperial bedrooms at Versailles.
Photo 11. 
Azzam is registered as a charter yacht, however open information the possibility and cost of her charter is not presented anywhere. It is extremely rare to find a yacht in the Arabian Sea, even less often in the Mediterranean. In May 2015, eyewitnesses managed to see her passing Gibraltar. Currently – and most of the year – Azzam is moored at Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi.
