The biggest 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.

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.

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.

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. At present and most season - Azzam is moored at Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi.

A yacht is not only a means of transportation, but also the status of a wealthy person.
The richest people even have several yachts.
Such people order the most luxurious and expensive yachts that exist in a single instance.
"A". The yacht of the authorship of the famous designer Philippe Starck for Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko. According to rumors, the price of the vessel can reach $300 million, and its maintenance - $20 million a year.
"Smeralda". A brand new yacht, launched in March 2012. Price - $ 100 million. Among the features - your own personal cinema under open sky, spa and helipad.
Venus. The youngest of the yachts presented in the top, launched only in October 2012. Designed by Philippe Stark for former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who never had time to see his dream afloat. Price - $130 million.
"Pelorus". One of Roman Abramovich's yachts for $130. Rumor has it that the ship can make trip around the world without refueling. On board there is a small submarine and even special "anti-paparazzi" lighting devices.
Octopus. Owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. In addition to the standard set of luxuries, the yacht has its own submarine (like the Pelorus). Price - $200 million.
Rising Sun. The impressive yacht of Oracle CEO Larry Ellison and producer David Geffen. The vessel has five decks and can reach a speed of 28 knots, that is, more than 50 km/h. Price - $200 million.
Lady Moura. This yacht was built in 1991 by order of Sheikh Nasser al-Rashid of Saudi Arabia. For a long time it was the most expensive in the world - its price exceeds $ 210 million. On board the ship there is a swimming pool, two boats, a helicopter pad and much more.
Dubai. One of the most expensive and luxurious yachts in the world, owned by the Emir of Dubai, Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum. Its price is $350 million. The vessel with eight decks can accommodate more than 100 passengers on board and provide any kind of entertainment.
It is a yacht bobbing lazily on the waves somewhere in the Mediterranean that fantasy draws when we imagine what wealth looks like. Price tags for the most cool yachts the world is going wild and only truly wealthy people can afford to buy them. But even knowing this, it's hard to believe that someone really managed to spend on a yacht ... 4.8 billion dollars!
Meet it History Supreme, and it was she who was awarded the status of "The Most Expensive Yacht in the World". The construction of the author's design under the guidance of the eccentric Mr. Hughes (the creator of the most expensive suit, the most expensive iPad and iPhone) took 3 years. During this time, it was possible to create a yacht worth more than total price at least 5 other most expensive yachts in the 2016 ranking.
What justifies the price? Elementary. Each rail, deck, ladder, dining table and even ship's anchor of this billionaire yacht is "wrapped" in the purest gold or platinum with a total weight of 100 kilograms. Rumor has it that inside the yacht you can find a statue made of nothing more than the bones of a T-Rex (the same Tyrannosaurus rex). In the decoration of the master bedroom of the billionaire yacht there is a natural meteorite stone. In addition, the yacht is decorated with a 68-kilogram golden aquarium. Well, for those who want to feel filled with luxury in the literal sense, a bottle of liquor is offered. This is a vessel actually filled with 18.5 carats of diamonds. Who else wants something stronger for $45 million?
Expensive yachts of the world should not be left without owners, and the public “suspects” Malaysian billionaire Robert Kuok of owning a yacht. Current state Kuoka - 17.5 billion dollars. Apparently, the “sugar king of Asia” (if in fact, it is he who is the owner of History Supreme) can really afford the coolest yachts in the world and even more.
Expensive yachts of the world
The History Supreme is the most expensive, but by no means the only yacht on the planet that has found itself in the center of intense, admiring and, to tell the truth, a little envious media attention. Regularly, dozens of business publications official ratings, which includes only the most pretentious and expensive yachts in the world. Apparently, the "racing for luxury" is really exciting - the top expensive yachts can number in the hundreds of copies. And participation in the unofficial "competition" is taken by millionaires and billionaires from the most different corners of the world, dreaming of getting into the coveted sheet. What does the top expensive yachts look like today?
Top 10 expensive yachts in the world
So, here it is, the "star" ten:
10. The Rising Sun, $200 million
Opening the top luxury yachts model The Rising Sun belongs to Larry Ellison, to CEO Oracle company. The price of expensive yachts of a similar category is equal to the cost of a small skyscraper, an old sports stadium and, of course, more than the GDP of small third world countries at once. The yacht has a basketball court (at the same time serving as an alternative to a helicopter), a cinema hall, a wine cellar and 82 separate rooms scattered over 5 floors.
9. Seven Seas, $200 million
The owner of the model is Steven Spielberg. A cinema, a helicopter landing area, a gym, an infinity pool - all this allowed Seven Seas to get into the top of the expensive yachts. The boat can comfortably accommodate 12 guests.
8. Lady Moura, $210 million
Lady Moura is so precious that even her name is engraved in 24 carat gold. The yacht is owned by Nassar Al-Rashid, a Saudi billionaire.

6. Dilbar, $263 million
"Dilbar" is a crew of 47 people, a helipad, rooms for 20 guests, 360 meters in length and 50 feet in height. Billionaires from Russia are not ready to be left behind the competition, and Alisher Usmanov is participating in the battle of the most expensive yachts.
5. Al Said, $300 million
When you're so rich, you can afford to call a thing by its name. So did Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said of Oman. The aluminum structure moves at a speed of 22 knots and accommodates up to 70 people, not counting the 154 crew members. "Basic equipment" is supplemented concert hall, which, if necessary, will fit a fairly large orchestra.
4. Superyacht A, $323 million

3. Dubai, $350 million
Today it is the favorite brainchild of the Sheikh of Dubai. For guests of the ship, there is a swimming pool, a spa, a glass staircase and (of course) a helipad. This is a real floating city for 115 people.
2. Eclipse, $450 million to $1.2 billion valuation
The move is for Roman Abramovich, and he made the most of his chance to excel. Interestingly, the yacht has its own defense system to detect intruders and paparazzi.
1. Streets of Monaco, $1 billion
If a thing can cost a billion, then here it is - the second most expensive yacht in the world today. Unlike the floating city of Dubai, this is a full-fledged island on the water. The 500-foot vessel is a recreation of a Mediterranean city with smaller copies of the Monte Carlo casino, the Hotel de Paris, etc. At the same time, the “capacity” is only 16 guests. Probably because each room is a maxi-apartment with a living room, a bathroom, a dressing room, a bedroom and a balcony.
Even among the most luxurious pleasure craft, some yachts excel others not only in beauty but also in size. And the best of them award the highly anticipated Neptune Trophy during the World Superyacht Awards. This award recognizes excellence in mega yacht design. To be eligible for the various award categories, the yacht must be at least 30 meters long and have been owned by the owner within the last 12 months.

The largest yacht to win the award is Serene, built by Italy's largest shipbuilder. Fincantieri. It is 133 meters long, can accommodate 24 guests and cost $330 million to build. On board there is a helipad, a cinema, a corporate meeting room and even playground for children. The crew, consisting of 52 people, is located in a separate part of the vessel so as not to interfere with the passengers of the "higher class". Rumor has it that it belongs to Russian vodka tycoon Yuri Shefler and can be rented.
3. Mega yacht Antares III
At 30 meters, the Antares III mega yacht is laughable compared to other award-winning mega yachts. But this does not mean at all that Antares III inferior to others in a sophisticated design. She was built by a New Zealand shipbuilder. Yachting Developments in May 2011. The design of the sloop used a complex construction, and the hull is covered with Kevlar for better impact resistance.

6. Mega yacht Kaiser
Mega-yacht Kaiser was designed at the request of her owner in German style.

Thanks to the twin diesel engine, Kaiser achieves a top speed of 16 knots (28 km/h).
7. Mega yacht Numptia
Even before the mega-yacht won the award for best interior design, the 70-meter Numptia yacht was attracting everyone's attention. She was built for an "Italian-American businessman" and every item on board was custom-designed for the yacht, from Tibetan silk carpets to a marble steam bath.
8. Mega yacht Satori
Many yacht owners try to stay out of the spotlight, but not Eric Benson, the owner of one of the largest American construction companies. Mega yacht Satori offers accommodation for 10 people in 5 luxurious cabins, and the vessel itself is managed by a team of 10 professionals, including the captain.
9. Mega yacht Vertigo
At 67 meters, the Vertigo mega yacht is the seventh largest sailing yacht in the world. In addition to five luxurious private cabins, the yacht has a gym and swimming pool. For a mere $300,000, she could be yours for a week.
German firm Lurssen, specializing in the construction of luxury yachts, recently (April 5, 2013) released the largest motor yacht in the world by calling her Azzam.
Yacht long 180 meters was officially declared the largest, after it became known that it was longer than its predecessor - yachts of Roman Abramovich Eclipse (162.5m)- at almost 20 meters.
The company did not say who is the owner new yacht, but industry sources say a family from Abu Dhabi is the possible owner.

Price tags for the most luxury yachts in the world can make some people not believe in their reality, but this is actually the case. Of course, only very rich people can afford to purchase them, and it is about all this that a review of the five most expensive yachts in the world will be presented.
Yacht "A"
Let's start with the cheapest boat on the list, worth 300,000 US dollars. The owner of this wealth are Alexandra and Andrey Melnichenko. The yacht got its name from the capital letter of the names of its owners - "A". Yacht "A" was designed by Blohm + Voss. The length of the vessel has reached 390 pounds, and the crew includes 35 people.
Yacht "A" interested yachtsmen because of the radical new appearance, which was developed by Philippe Starck and Martin Francis. Instead of the classic outlines that have gained the greatest popularity, the vessel has a streamlined hull and the decks are in most cases hermetically sealed.
As for the interior of the ship, there are even more features. Cream leather upholstery and stainless steel trim.
Yacht «Dubai»
The next nominee has a price tag that says $350,000. The yacht belongs to the Prime Minister of the UAE. The German Lurssen and Blohm + Voss were engaged in the construction of this project, and later the boat was transported to Dubai and specialists from Platinum Yachts completed it there. Designed by Dubai Andrew Wincham.
The vessel has a pair of power units, the power of each of them is 8596.75 horsepower. This allows the navigable structure to develop a speed of 26 knots. Fuel reserves are 1,250,000 liters, which allows the boat not to enter the port for refueling for almost a month.
On board a luxury vessel, there is a huge number of VIP cabins and suites. There are also seven decks, a casino, a helicopter landing pad, large boats, pools and a jacuzzi to boot.
In many interior places flaunt handmade carpets and floors with glass mosaics. The living room, which looks like an oasis in the desert, also looks unusual.
Yacht "Azzam"
The cost of this water apparatus is 609,000 US dollars. The length of the ship is 590 feet. Developers such as Mubarak Saad Al Ahbabi and Lurssen Yachts worked on the construction of Azzam, Lurssen Yachts was responsible for the aesthetics, and Crhistophe Leoni prepared the interior space.
The speed of the yacht is up to 30 knots, and it is propelled by a pair of diesel units and a pair of gas turbines, which together will produce 94,000 horsepower. For maintenance, this boat requires fifty people, and its size is like two football fields.
The ship is decorated in the so-called "Luxury Imperial Style". An armored bedroom, a couple of helipads, swimming pools, a submarine, cinemas and even an anti-boat defense system found their places on board.
Yacht «Eclipse»
This yacht belongs to Roman Obramovich and is valued at $999,640,000. Blohm + Voss was responsible for the production of such expensive equipment. Interestingly, initially, during the construction, the ship had a cost of 340,000,000 euros, but the final price tag was announced with a figure of 800,000,000 euros.
The maximum speed that the Eclipse can gain is 25 knots and this is with a length of 553 feet. Appearance the vessel is made in military style, there is also a place to be protected from paparazzi in the form of laser protection.
Yacht "History Supreme"
And finally, the peak of the list of the most expensive yachts is 4.8 billion US dollars. This yacht is not only the most expensive in the world, but also the best in functionality. This creation was created by a world famous designer named Stuart Hughes. It took him three years to do the whole job. To a greater extent, the cost is due to platinum and gold coatings, which dragged on as much as 100,000 kg.
The yacht itself is not large, only 31 m. The speed capabilities of this “golden” boat are higher than those of all the others from this rating - 50 knots. This figure is achieved through a pair of diesel engines.
As a result, we can say: given that the cost of gold is growing every day, then it is quite possible to hope that the price of History Supreme will also increase over time.
