The largest private yacht in the world. The largest yacht. million plus missile defense

A German company called Lürssen, which specializes in the production of luxury and luxury yachts launched the world's largest mega yacht in 2013, calling it Azzam.

This yacht is the largest charter motor vessel.

In addition to the fact that the Azzam class model is the largest vessel in the whole world, even larger than the yacht of Roman Abramovich himself, it is also one of the fastest in its class.

Its size is amazing. Just imagine: 180 meters is two football fields or 12 railway cars. At the same time, Azzam can easily accelerate to a maximum speed of 30 knots (55 km/h). It is helped in this by two gas turbines with a total power of 94,000 hp, four water jet units and a Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharger diesel engine with a power of 108,920 hp. (80,088 kW).

This is the largest engine in the world: its length is 27.1 m, its height is 13.4 m, and its weight is more than 2,300 tons. Originally designed for container ships, it was 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 customer’s fantasies. Even its main salon has no analogues in the world: length - 29 m, width 18 m.

To service a vessel of such impressive size, a crew of five hundred is required. The tank of a yacht of this class can hold about one million fuel, which allows its owner and guests to travel around the world all year round without having to enter a port to refuel the vessel. One of the advantages of an Azzam class yacht is that it can easily navigate shallow water at very high speed.

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

Detailed information about the ship's interior at the moment no, but it is known from reliable sources that the area of ​​the largest azzam salon is thirty by twenty meters, this salon does not contain pillars that divide the internal 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 that is harmoniously placed on the ship is antique, made from valuable and expensive wood.

Some of the antique furniture is painted with gold and decorated with jewelry stones. They say 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 time-consuming project of the company. Mubarak Saad al Ahbabi is the lead engineer who was involved in the construction of the superyacht.

The customer and current owner of the Azzam yacht is Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE 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 were won. Technical management of the construction was carried out by Burgess Yachts. The chief engineer was Mubarak Saad al Ahbabi.

There was a version that this was 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 Bremen, was directly involved in the construction of this magnificent and majestic mega yacht.

It is known that the style in which the interior of Azzam is decorated is close to the neoclassicism of the early 19th century - the time of the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. In the absence of photographs from on board 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 see a yacht in the Arabian Sea, and even more rarely in the Mediterranean. In May 2015, eyewitnesses managed to see her passing Gibraltar. Currently – and for most of the year – Azzam is moored at Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi.

Even when it was under construction, the Russian billionaire’s yacht came to the attention of environmentalists. The London-based Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) claims it uses illegally mined teak from Myanmar. Melnichenko's representatives called the EIA's accusations "false" and "baseless," and Nobiskrug assures that all materials were certified.

Context

Spanish yachts of Nazarbayev's grandson: only expenses without cruises

The yachts that Nurali Aliyev, the grandson of the President of Kazakhstan, unsuccessfully tried to acquire in Spain, never fell into his hands. DW found out why. (07/25/2016)

It is a yacht lazily rocking on the waves somewhere in the Mediterranean that our imagination pictures when we imagine what wealth looks like. The price tags for the coolest yachts in the world are off the charts and only truly wealthy people can afford to buy them. But even knowing this, it’s hard to believe that someone actually managed to spend... 4.8 billion dollars on a yacht!

Meet this History Supreme, and it was she who was awarded the status of “The most expensive yacht in the world.” The construction of the original design under the leadership of the eccentric Mr. Hughes (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 with a cost exceeding the total price of at least 5 other most expensive yachts in the 2016 rating.

What justifies the price? Elementary. Every rail, deck, staircase, dining table and even the ship's anchor of this billionaire's yacht is “wrapped” in the purest gold or platinum with a total weight of 100 kilograms. There are rumors that inside the yacht you can find a statue made from none other than the bones of a T-Rex (the same Tyrannosaurus rex). The decoration of the master bedroom of the billionaires' yacht contains natural meteorite stone. In addition, the yacht is decorated with a 68-kilogram gold aquarium. Well, for those who want to feel filled with luxury in the literal sense, a bottle of liqueur 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. Kuok's current net worth is $17.5 billion. Apparently, the “sugar king of Asia” (if, in fact, he is the owner of History Supreme) can really afford the coolest yachts in the world and even more.

Expensive yachts of the world

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, slightly envious media attention. Regularly, dozens of business publications compile official ratings, which include only the most demanding and expensive yachts in the world. Apparently, the “race for luxury” is really exciting - the top expensive yachts can number in the hundreds of units. And millionaires and billionaires from the most different corners world, dreaming of getting into the coveted list. What does the top expensive yacht look like today?

Top 10 expensive yachts in the world

So, here it is, the “star” ten:

10. The Rising Sun, $200 million.

The top-of-the-line luxury yacht model, The Rising Sun, belongs to Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle. 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 (which also serves as an alternative to the helicopter court), a cinema hall, a wine cellar and 82 private rooms spread over 5 floors.

9. Seven Seas, $200 million

The owner of the model is Steven Spielberg. A cinema, a helicopter landing pad, a gym, an infinity pool - all this allowed Seven Seas to get into the top of expensive yachts. The ship can comfortably accommodate 12 guests.

8. Lady Moura, $210 million

Lady Moura is so expensive that even its name is stamped on the side in 24-karat gold. The yacht is owned by Nassar Al-Rashid, a Saudi billionaire. The rooms on the ship are ready to accommodate 30 guests and more than 60 crew members. Two diesel engines are responsible for movement. The power of both is 7000 hp.

7. Al Mirqab, $250 million

If you want to relax in luxury with the company of 24 close friends, then be sure to contact Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabar Al Thani. Billionaire yachts, namely the vessel owned by the Prime Minister of Qatar, are ideal for this purpose.

6. Dilbar, $263 million

"Dilbar" has a crew of 47 people, a helipad, rooms for 20 guests, 360 meters in length and 50 feet in height. Russian billionaires are not ready to be left behind their competitors, and Alisher Usmanov is participating in the battle of the most expensive yachts.

5. Al Said, $300 million

When you are so rich, you can afford to call a thing by its own name. This is what Sultan Qaboos Bin Said Al Said of Oman did. 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 being supplemented concert hall, which can accommodate a fairly large orchestra if necessary.

4. Superyacht A, $323 million.

And again, expensive yachts go to Russian representatives, in this case to Andrey Melchenko. Not impressive appearance or size, and interior design. For example, 3 swimming pools, 2 additional boats, entertainment systems and exclusive rooms for 14 people.

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, valuation from $450 million to 1.2 billion.

It was Roman Abramovich's move, and he made the most of the chance to excel. Interestingly, the yacht has its own defense system to detect intruders and paparazzi.

1. Streets of Monaco, $1 billion.

If something 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, bathroom, dressing room, bedroom and balcony.

In 2016, the most large yacht in the world. It belongs to Alisher Usmanov, whose fortune is currently estimated by Forbes magazine at $12.5 billion. It is called Dilbar and was built by the German shipyard Lurssen. She received her name in honor of the owner's mother. Before this, the largest yachts were considered to be those belonging to the Sultan of Oman and the Emir of Abu Dhabi, represented by the same company. The length of the new super yacht is 156 meters, displacement is 15,917 tons.

Technical characteristics and cost of the yacht

How much the largest yacht costs has not been officially disclosed, but according to experts, its price is approximately $600 million. It is equipped with a powerful 30,000 kW diesel-electric unit, which allows the ship to accelerate to a speed of 22.5 knots, which is 42 kilometers per hour. It is characterized by high environmental friendliness: modern high-efficiency carbon filters are installed to purify exhaust gases.
The largest yacht in the world is truly enormous in size and highly reliable. Its body is made of high-strength steel with aluminum superstructures, and over 1,100 km of wires were used for electrical wiring. Total area internal premises amounted to 3800 square meters. 80 crew members and 40 other personnel are involved in servicing the vessel. It has everything for a comfortable and luxurious pastime: from expensive interiors, to elevators, a cinema and two helipads. The yacht is a record holder not only for its displacement: it has the largest swimming pool of its kind with a volume of 180 cubic meters. Dilbar can accommodate up to 40 guests at a time.
Construction of the largest yacht lasted 52 months. The millionaire did not chase records for length, but decided to build a ship that would have the maximum amount of internal space in the hull. This made it possible to equip it with everything necessary and avoid many problems associated, for example, with mooring. After all, not every port is capable of receiving vessels with dimensions of 150-180 meters, which are possessed by other largest representatives from the world of yachts. By the way, this owner already has a ship that is not much smaller in size, the length of which was 110 meters. Its value, according to various sources, is about 200 million euros. It also has a helipad, a sports and cinema hall, a swimming pool, and equipment for classes. aquatic species sports and much more.

Launching of the largest yacht on the water

Sardinia in August 2016. The descent took place on a special scale: there were many guests on board, for whom Robbie Williams, Charles Aznavour, Carla Bruni and Andrea Bocelli performed as specially invited performers. But, unfortunately, no one was able to find out any specific details about the event: the ship has a special security system that allows you to instantly track telephoto lenses and camera flashes. It is almost impossible to approach the ship from the sea on a boat for filming. Representatives of the millionaire refused any comments to reporters.
To date, the Dilbar yacht has already been recognized not only as the largest in the world, but also as the most beautiful and comfortable. It is not available for rent: only the millionaire’s closest friends and relatives have the opportunity to ride it. But there are many videos on the Internet in which “mere mortals” can see how the construction took place, as well as watch how this miracle rushes at great speed across the water area, cutting through the waves.
