Isn't it difficult to open the hull somewhere in the middle to bring in or out a submarine like on the picture above? I've seen this in a James Bond movie but this was fiction.... So dosen't come stabilising problems with such an opening?

ThyssenKrupp says : Yacht building ‚ setting trends, realising dreams The predominant trend in MEGA yacht building is clear – length counts! Current projects all over the world confirm this. Blohm + Voss is prepared for this development. Project studies for MEGA yachts with lengths in excess of 76 metres have already been submitted. The highlight amongst the latest projects bears the name M-147. Behind this simple combination of letter and numbers is concealed a 147-metre luxury yacht which sets new standards in design, features and functionality. M-147 was created in conjunction with the Parisian designer Hermidas Atabeyki: his basic idea was to develop several thematically different room elements instead of long, continuous decks, yet retaining the elements of spaciousness and largeness. Various loggias, balconies, oriels and sundecks were created. The visitors on board are thus bestowed continually new views and insights. One of the special characteristics of the futuristic M-147 yacht is the loggia which extends along the entire width of the yacht and which links the main salon with the dining room. In the stern, a round room with continuous glass front allows an impressive 270° panoramic view. The M-147 is also equipped with a swimming pool on the top deck, a cinema and a disco. The yacht has a garage for a submarine by which owner and guests can embark on an underwater discovery tour, and a helicopter landing pad. An 18-metre long tender is perfectly integrated into the silhouette. Using synergies and opening up new potentials: this is what Blohm + Voss offer with the use of the innovative CODAG-WARP® (Combined Diesel and Gas Turbine, Waterjet and Refined Propellers) drive concept developed for naval shipbuilding which is also used in yacht building. The drive configuration, comprising two diesel engines each with 5,920 kW with a propeller each and a gas turbine with 20,000 kW with hydrojet propulsion, enables speeds above 30 knots. This design enables completely new alternatives in the construction and design of decks, since exhaust gas ducts no longer have to be taken into consideration. A new standard in the construction of MEGA yachts has been defined in the form of this drive concept.

it indicates that she would have the CODAG-WARP package like Ecstasea but this is optional, can have 4 x 7400 bhp or 2x 7400 BHP and 1 x 26000 BHP turbine Frenchman Atabeyki was originally a designer for Renault then formed his own company working for many car manufacturers. You can have Atabeyaki bodykit for the Lambo Diablo http://www.lambocars.com/archive/diablo/diabloh.htm he is chief designer behind the Fenomenon Stratos Concept Car 2005 interpretation of the 1970 Lancia Stratos http://www.stratossupersite.com/fenomenon.htm

I agree. i like the ship design better. I swear, Every Deckhand and Stew is going to want to work on that magnificent piece of art! I know I am. Does any one know how much the project is going to cost and when it will most likly begin construction? P.S. : What kind of CADD program do they use?

mp-willow Senior Member

M-147 Windows Well ok, hello all, I am new to the post and saw the B&V boat, what a change from the aircraft that they made in the 1940s or even the boats they did pre-war. As for coast, it should be a hell of a lot, but fist they would need a client, unless this is a yard venture, that is a big risk. I am not to sold on the sub idea, but I do like the space for lots of gests, and must the helicopter As for CAD most likely around 2004 but I only use the basic stuff not the ship builders. I would asume that the Yacht will have 0 speed stability for the Sub lunch and retreaval. The rear bay for the tender looks nice, is that a custome tender you think? Qustion though they make no mention on crew size or berths, any thoughts?

Dear Techmati and Carl, I have not read this thread earlier, but I would like to have a comment on the nationality of Hermidas, he is not French but Persian. He states that what he has brought into the design of boats is that he works on scenarios instead of set themes. So, instead of having large salons and rooms as the size increases he concentrates on the owners preferences of how he wants to live the spaces. Nilo techmati said: it indicates that she would have the CODAG-WARP package like Ecstasea but this is optional, can have 4 x 7400 bhp or 2x 7400 BHP and 1 x 26000 BHP turbine Frenchman Atabeyki was originally a designer for Renault then formed his own company working for many car manufacturers.

I've seen this design in the magazines for months now. Have they now started construction or just fishing around for a client? It's beautiful. But wow, how big will these yachts continue to grow? We just wached the "Inconvenient Truth" and cannot stop thinking we're hurdling into a brick wall with everything getting bigger and consuming more and more.

I read that Roman Abramovich has commissioned B&V to build this yacht, however she will be even more than 147m and she will be named Eclipse. With B&V being so secretive, its hard to get any info!

oyvin New Member

I have recently been to Blohm & Voss, and worked on the eclipse. And my god what a big Yacht. But i dont think those models are correct, of course its hard to get a look at the entire boat as it is standing in a dock with walls close to the hull. But I notice a couple of things, like where the model is showing a helipad, I think there will be a pool. As they have welded together a large stainless steel pool-like "Box" there. But i will not say anything for certain. I may be wrong.

Hey Oyvin, welcome to Yacht Forums. It is good that you were able to have a first hand look. Seeing how tight liped B&V are about the project, be careful with what you say

Top 10 Largest Yachts In The World 2021

Discover the world’s biggest superyachts..

Breaking records is cool. Especially when it has to do with building the biggest, longest, tallest, largest superyachts in the world. Technically speaking, each of those superlatives has its own category when it comes to shipbuilding. Number 2 on this list is *technically* bigger than number 1, which is longer. And one of the yachts on this list holds the title of oldest while also being one of the largest. It gets confusing, but when you’re building boats for people who want to break records, it matters.

Think you’ve seen a big superyacht? Think again. Here are the 10 largest yachts in the world for 2021. When yachts get this big, it can be difficult to discern a cruise ship from a superyacht.

10. SAILING YACHT A | 142 Meter (468 Foot) Nobiskrug 2017

Zoom into the future — SAILING YACHT A is the largest private sail-assisted motor yacht in the world. At 468 feet and built by Nobiskrug in 2017. She’s an advanced superyacht with unique features such as an underwater observation pod, a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system, and state-of-the-art navigation systems.

The luxury sailing yacht’s three masts are the tallest and the most highly loaded freestanding composite structures in the world. The nearly invisible windows give this yacht a futuristic look offering no peep into the interior, which is still a mystery. SAILING YACHT A is owned by Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko.

9. EL MAHROUSA | 145 Meter (478 Foot) Samuda Brothers 1865

Fresh out of the history and record books is EL MAHROUSA, a 478-foot Samuda Brothers yacht launched in 1865 (erm, yeah you read that right). This yacht was built for the Ottoman governor of Egypt and even made an appearance at the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 (thankfully it never got stuck in the canal).

Of course, she underwent plenty of refits over the years, including the replacement of its paddle wheel engines by turbine-driven propellers in 1905. It also had a telegraph installed in 1912. EL MAHROUSA was also lengthened by 40 feet in 1872 and another 17 feet in 1905. The yacht is currently in the care of the Egyptian Navy and occasionally used as the Presidential Yacht. It is the oldest active superyacht in the world and the ninth largest one.

8. PRINCE ABDULAZIZ | 147 Meter (482 Foot) Helsingor Vaerft 1984

PRINCE ABDULAZIZ is a 147- meter motor yacht built by Helsingor Vaerft and delivered in 1984. For many years, it was the world’s largest yacht in terms of length and height. It’s one of the royal yachts of the Saudi royal family, originally owned by King Fahd. Although its interior was designed by the late David Nightingale Hicks, you’re not going to find any pictures of it. All we know is that it’s as luxurious as the TITANIC.

7. A+ | 147 Meter (482 Foot) Lürssen 2012

The seventh-largest yacht in the world is A+ (formally known as TOPAZ) at 147 meters long. With her gross tonnage of 12,532 GT, A+ is also one of the world’s largest superyachts in terms of volume. This 2012 Lürssen superyacht is reportedly owned by Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, owner of Manchester City Football Club and Emirate royalty.

This 8 deck vessel features 2 helipads, a gym, 2 Jacuzzis, a movie theatre, and a conference room. While not much is revealed about the Terence Disdale styled interior, A+ can accommodate up to 62 guests in 26 cabins, along with 79 crew members.

6. AL SAID | 155 Meter (508 Foot) Lürrsen 2007

At 509 feet long, AL SAID is the sixth-largest superyacht in the world. It was launched by Lürssen in 2007 and resembles a classic cruise liner. At its widest point, the ship measures nearly 79 feet across. It is owned by the Sultan of Oman and can supposedly accommodate 70 guests and up to 154 professional crewmembers. The vessel features 6 decks and a concert hall big enough for a 50 piece orchestra.

5. DILBAR | 156 Meter (511 Foot) Lürrsen 2016

DILBAR is a 156-meter superyacht built by Lürssen in 2016. Her exterior was designed by Espen Øino, who created a classic profile with a light ivory hull. Her interior design is said to be decorated in rare and exclusive luxury materials by Winch Design, but additional details and photos are not made public.

At 15,917 tons and 156-meters long, Lürssen announced that DILBAR is one of the most complex and challenging yachts ever built, in terms of dimensions and technology. Her features include a 25-meter swimming pool (the largest ever installed on a yacht) and 2 helipads. It’s owned by one of Russia’s richest men , Alisher Usmanov.

4. DUBAI | 162 Meter (532 Foot) Platinum Yachts 2006

Make room for DUBAI , a 161-meter yacht with a nonlinear build history. This superyacht was originally a joint project between Blohm+Voss and Lürssen in 1998. But the project was halted with a skeletal superstructure.

The hull was sold to the government of Dubai, and the project began again under the direction of the new owner, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (ruler of Dubai), and Platinum Yachts. The yacht was finished in 2006. Some of its stand-out features include 7 decks, helipad, submarine garage, nightclub, cinema, and 70-foot-wide atrium. DUBAI can accommodate 24 guests.

3. ECLIPSE | 162 Meter (531 Foot) Blohm+Voss 2010

By the time it left the Blohm+Voss German shipyard in 2010, ECLIPSE was the largest superyacht in the world. Today, it’s been knocked down a few pegs at 162 meters in length. It’s owned by Russian businessman, Roman Abramovich. ECLIPSE boasts 18 staterooms and can accommodate 36 guests.

At the time of its launch, it hosted the largest swimming pool (with adjustable depth to become a dance floor) onboard a yacht at 16 meters long. This luxury yacht has interesting features including a missile detection system (you know, just in case), bulletproof windows (again, just in case), a submarine, three helicopters, six tenders, spa, gym, and beach club. It’s currently valued at $1.2 billion and considered the world’s most expensive yacht .

2. FULK AL SALAMAH | 164 Meter (538 Foot) Mariotti 2016

FULK AL SALAMAH , translated to Ship of Peace, is a 164-meter Mariotti mega yacht built in 2016. This monster of a yacht is believed to be owned by the Omani royal family. Although, not the longest yacht, she is the biggest in terms of volume at 22,000 gross tonnage. The exterior design is by Studio de Jorio and resembles more of a cruise ship than a private superyacht. Not many details are revealed about FULK AL SALAMAH as this project and delivery has been kept under wraps from its beginning.

1. AZZAM | 180 Meter (590 Foot) Lürssen 2013

At a whopping 180 meters in length, AZZAM is the longest private yacht in the world. This superyacht was launched in 2013 by Lürssen Yachts, and currently owned by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Abu Dhabi. It cost more than $600 million to build.

AZZAM has a beam of 20.8 meters (68 feet) and an unusually shallow draft of 4.3 meters (14 feet). Exterior designer, Nauta Design created this vessel to be sleek and timeless while appearing smaller than her size. The 9,000kW MTU engines give her a speed of 18 knots over long distances, with a top speed of 33 knots.

As the longest private yacht in the world, AZZAM can accommodate 36 guests and up to 80 crew. The interior style is largely a secret, but it’s rumored that some of the wood furniture onboard is intricately veneered with mother of pearl marquetry. Other onboard features include a gym, pool, and golf training room.

While these top 10 largest yachts in the world may seem out of reach, let’s bring it down to earth and explore Denison’s featured listings . You’ll find yachts from 10 feet to 174 feet , all different brands, models, lengths, heights, volume, age… you get the point. Contact a Denison yacht broker to find your perfectly sized yacht.

Prince Abdulaziz

Motor Yacht

Prince Abdulaziz is a 147 metre yacht built in 1984, making it the largest yacht built in the 20th Century.

Indeed, Prince Abdulaziz held the crown the for world's largest yacht until it was outstripped by Dubai (also listed) in 2006. 

As one of the yachts of the Saudi Royal Family, Prince Abdulaziz is used to conduct official business as well as for pleasure. The interior alone took 15 months to complete. Originally built for the late King Fahd of Saudi Arabia who named the yacht after his son, it is now owned by his brother Abddullah.

Prince Abdullaziz was custom built by Helsingor Vaerft; one of Denmark's largest shipyards dating back to the late 19th Century, until their close in the 1980s due to increased competition from new foreign arrivals. 

This mega-yacht also features interior design by the late David Hicks, an English interior decorator and designer whose distinct use of bold colours, lighting and combination of modern and classical features earned him a distinguishable reputation in many countries around the world during his lifetime.

The World's Largest Superyachts are on display in 2021

It's fun to break records. Particularly when it comes to building the world's highest, longest, tallest, and largest superyachts. When it comes to yacht building , each of those superlatives technically has its own type. This list's number two is technically smaller than the first, which is longer. And one of the yachts on this list is both the oldest and the largest on the planet. It may be perplexing, but it matters when you're building boats for people who want to set world records.

Can you think you've seen a superyacht? Reconsider your place. The ten largest yachts in the world for 2021 are listed below. It's difficult to tell the difference between a cruise ship and a superyacht when they get this high.

The three masts of the luxurious sailing yacht are the world's largest and most heavily loaded freestanding composite structures. The virtually invisible windows give this yacht a futuristic appearance while providing no glimpse of the interior, which remains a mystery. Andrey Melnichenko, a Russian billionaire, owns SAILING YACHT A.

9. EL MAHROUSA | 145 Mt. (478 feet) built by Samuda Brothers in 1865

EL MAHROUSA, a 478-foot Samuda Brothers yacht built in 1865, is fresh from history and records. This yacht was designed for Egypt's Ottoman governor and also made an appearance at the Suez Canal's opening in 1869.

Of necessity, she underwent several upgrades over the years, including the 1905 replacement of paddle wheel engines with turbine-driven propellers. In 1912, a telegraph was also built. In 1872, EL MAHROUSA was lengthened by 40 feet, and again in 1905 by 17 feet. The yacht is actually in the Egyptian Navy's care and is used as the Presidential Yacht on occasion. It is the world's oldest operating superyacht and the ninth highest.

6. AL SAID | 155 Mt (508 Feet) built by Lürrsen in 2007

Allow room for DUBAI , a 161-meter yacht with a nonlinear construction history. Blohm+Voss and Lürssen collaborated on the design of this superyacht in 1998. However, the proposal was put on hold due to a skeletal superstructure.

The hull was sold to the Dubai government, and the project was restarted under the leadership of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (ruler of Dubai) and Platinum Yachts . In 2006, the yacht was completed. Seven decks, a helipad, a submarine garage, a nightclub, a theater, and a 70-foot-wide atrium are only a few of the highlights. DUBAI has a capacity of 24 people.

3. ECLIPSE | 162 Mt (531 Feet) built by Blohm+Voss in 2010

The Most Expensive Yachts In The World (And Why They Cost So Much)

A Note About The History Supreme 'Superyacht'

"price": $5 billion.

Across the internet, the History Supreme is routinely touted as the most expensive yacht to ever exist, purportedly fashioned entirely from solid gold and platinum, and even inlaid with precious gems.

If ever a vessel was made to be on a list like this, it's the History Supreme . But precious little information seems to exist about the yacht, and it is particularly scarce with respect to basic details like her home port and supposed owner.

Yet searches for the History Supreme lead to link after link ranking it as the most expensive yacht ever made, sidestepping obvious questions – such as ones about whether precious metals are compatible with prolonged exposure to corrosive seawater, or whether a vessel of her description could be seaworthy at all.

Thankfully, the maritime information hub BoatSafe.com has the scoop on this mysterious vessel , first pointing out that every site listing "uses the same four images" – often a sign that a concept or CGI object has been mistaken for or falsely held out as real.

Almost all the other yachts on this list have left undeniable traces of their existence – registration information, dedicated Wikipedia entries, and details about their movements and ports of call.

As for the "four images" in total, that's uncommon for notable vessels, which are often photographed by boating enthusiasts and beachgoers when yachts are docked, boarded, or when they're seen near the shoreline while at sea.

In this particular instance, it's difficult to imagine a solid gold yacht criss-crossing the planet for well over a decade (after her supposed commission in 2011) and not appearing in at least one Instagram post.

The History Supreme is described as the most unusual and lavish yacht in history, but no verifiable evidence of her seems to exist anywhere; she is brag-worthy, but never bragged about.

As BoatSafe.com explains, the History Supreme has all the hallmarks of an internet hoax:

You may have heard that the most expensive yacht in history is called the History Supreme. As near as I’ve been able to figure out, that’s not true. Not because the alleged $4.8 billion yacht wouldn’t be the most expensive – that’s far more than the next most expensive yacht.

Instead, it’s not true because the History Supreme is not a real yacht. It doesn’t exist. But you wouldn’t know that from how the internet works.

BoatSafe.com raised questions about her rumored owner (an unnamed, wealthy man from Malaysia), pointing out that her supposed cost of $5 billion amounted to over a third of the richest man in Malaysia's net worth:

People have assumed that the owner would be a man named Robert Kuok, the richest man in Malaysia. His fortune is around $14.5 billion. If he was indeed the man who purchased this boat, it means he spent one third of all of his money on it. That’s a lot of money to invest in a single boat.

Even if an individual with $15 billion decided to spend $5 billion on the History Supreme , Boat Safe uncovered what looked to be firm evidence of a hoax, pointing out the four images "looked a lot like the Baia One Hundred , a yacht made by Italian yacht makers Baia in 2008."

BoatSafe.com contacted Baia, which confirmed the images were theirs, and introduced another excellent question – how could a solid gold yacht be buoyant?

Baia’s sales manager said those photos were stolen from their website and doctored. So they were not new photos of an altered boat, but altered photos of an old boat. Moreover, and this is crucial, he also pointed out what should have been obvious to anyone working in boating news. If Hughes added 110 tons of gold to the boat, how the heck was it staying afloat?

If anything, the History Supreme is a good reminder that not everything that glitters turns out to be gold, that not everything flashy or exciting on the internet turns out to be true, and that the world's most expensive yacht would generate photographic evidence of its existence.

The sixth place in the ranking of the longest yachts in the world is occupied by the Al Said.

7 : theTopaz yacht

The world's next yacht was also built by Lürssen - in 2012. "Topaz" is 147 meters long. Its owner is Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates. Details about the interior of the yacht are kept strictly secret. According to estimates, the yacht costs about 527 million dollars, or 455 million euros.

The Topaz is ranked seventh in the world's longest yachts.

8 : Prince Abdulaziz

This 147 meter yacht was built in 1984 as the last ship of Helsingør Værft in Denmark. For more than 20 years, it was the longest private yacht in the world. Her first owner was the Saudi Arabian King Fahd ibn Abd al-Aziz. Currently, it is owned by Pelagos Limited. According to estimates, the yacht costs about 100 million dollars. That is the equivalent of 86 million euros.

Prince Abdulaziz occupies the 8th place in the ranking of the longest yachts in the world.

9 : El Mahrousa

"El Mahrousa" was completed by the London shipyard Samuda Brothers according to the plans of Sir Oliver Lang in 1865. It is thus the oldest yacht in the world. The ship served as a royal yacht until 1952 and was placed under the responsibility of the Egyptian Navy after the establishment of the Republic of Egypt. Today, it is the presidential yacht of Egypt. Her cost is kept strictly secret.

The 9th place of the longest yachts in the world is occupied by the El Mahrousa.

SY A is a sailing yacht owned by Russian billionaire and oligarch Andrei Melnitschenko. With a length of almost 143 meters, it is the largest sailing ship in the world. According to estimates, the yacht costs about 464 million dollars, equivalent to 400 million euros.

10 of the world’s biggest superyachts

Tamara Hardingham-Gill, CNN

Does size really matter? When it comes to superyachts, it seems the answer is most certainly “yes.”

The title for world’s biggest yacht was once held by the same vessel, El Mahrousa, for over a century.

But it’s changed hands far more frequently in the years since then as more and more supersized yachts come onto the scene.

While demand for large yachts has steadily grown over the past few decades, sales have shot up considerably since 2019 due to the increasing number of billionaires emerging, as well as the impact of the pandemic.

“The market is telling us that yards are building bigger and bigger sheds to build bigger and bigger yachts,” explains yacht designer Oliver Stirling from Stirling & Co.

“And with increasing high net worth individual wealth, the demand for large yachts is going to always increase.”

“The pandemic has also illustrated that commercial cruise ships may or may not be desirable for holidays, vacation or leisure destinations.”

Many of the largest yachts on the water were built by German shipyard Lurssen, which has eight shipyards across northern Germany

“Over the years we’ve been in the fortunate position of being able to accommodate, because of the infrastructural abilities that we have, that occasional demand that has arisen for a rather large yacht,” Michael Breman, sales director at Lurssen, tells CNN Travel

“Every large yacht that you see that comes from our shipyard is the result of a very careful and painstaking discussion with designers, owners and advisers in order to ensure that it reflects the wishes of the individual [owner].”

The current world’s biggest yacht measures 180 meters, and a 183-meter vessel is due for delivery in 2024, but a number of gigayacht concepts have been floated about over the years, with some in the very early stages of development.

While Stirling stresses that there will come a point in which superyachts “can’t grow any further,” he believes its only a matter of time before we’ll see a superyacht over 200 meters long become a reality.

“Someone’s going to want to build the first 200 meter plus motor yacht and I’m sure that that will just carry on the trend,” he adds.

From privately owned mega yachts, to those available to charter, and even vessels that are still under construction, we take a look at 10 of the biggest superyachts in the world.

It’s held the record for world’s largest privately owned superyacht since 2013, but this 180-meter vessel was originally meant to be 35 meters shorter.

Built by Lurssen with guidance from engineer Mubarak Saad al Ahbabi, Azzam, which cost an estimated $600 million to construct, grew longer and longer during the optimization process.

With room to accommodate up to 36 guests and at least 80 crew members, it’s equipped with an on board gym as well as a golf training room.

The superyacht’s exterior lines are the work of Nauta Design, and the studio’s founder Mario Pedol has previously told how onlookers often remark that it looks much smaller from a distance.

Unlike vessels of a similar size, Azzam is just as fast as it is large, hitting speeds of up to 31.5 knots.

When Eclipse was launched at the Blohm + Voss Hamburg shipyard back in 2010, it was the world’s largest private yacht.

But the 162.5-meter vessel was eclipsed by Azzam a few years later, while the delivery of the 164-meter Fulk Al Salamah in 2016 saw it fall even further down the ranking of biggest yachts.

Nonetheless, Eclipse remains one of the largest and most impressive superyachts ever to hit the waters.

Owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, Eclipse is powered by four MTU diesel engines and has a top speed of 25 knots and a cruising speed of 22 knots.

Fitted with 18 guest cabins and two helipads, the vessel can accommodate up to 36 guests and 66 crew members at a time.

Its stand out features include a 16-meter swimming pool that transforms into a dance floor and a wood-burning fire pit.

Dilbar may not be the longest yacht in the world, but it’s certainly the largest by interior volume, with a gross tonnage of just under 16,000.

Named after the late mother of the owner, Uzbekistan-born billionaire Alisher Usmanov, the 156-meter vessel was designed by naval architect Espen Oino and delivered by Lurssen in 2016.

Made with a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure, Dilbar can reach a top speed of around 22.5 knots and happens to be equipped with a 25-meter swimming pool, the largest ever installed on a superyacht.

With space for up to 24 guests and about 100 crew members, there’s also an expansive garden on board, along with two helipads.

The superyacht is fitted with an electric-diesel hybrid power, which helps to reduce its emissions while providing a top speed of 22.5 knots.

“One of the things that we have seen happening, and the clients are very sensitive to the issue, is to look for further ways of how we can improve the sustainability of the product we’re making,” says Breman.

“Not only in the process of manufacturing, and the things you use for the boat, but also in the way the boat operates.

“We are hopeful that in the next 10 to 15 years we’ll be able to deliver a yacht that will be emission free. We see that as a positive step.”

El Mahrousa

Measuring 145.72 meters, the Egyptian presidential yacht was launched in 1865 by the Samuda Brothers shipyard.

Although it lost its world’s largest yacht title to the 147-meter Prince Abdulaziz in the 1980s and has dropped further and further down the list in the years since then, El Mahrousa is still a significant vessel in the yachting world due to its rich history.

Designed by British naval architect Oliver Lang, who also devised Queen Victoria’s steam yacht Victoria & Albert II, El Mahrousa was originally built for Khedive Ismail, the Ottoman governor of Egypt.

The five-floor yacht became the first ship to cross the Suez Canal back in 1869 and would later become a naval training ship for the Egyptian government.

Powered by three Parsons steam turbines, it’s the oldest active superyacht in the world and can achieve a top speed of 16 knots.

Another Lurssen-built vessel, Flying Fox measures 136 meters and happens to be the largest charter vessel in the world.

While that means you don’t have to be invited by the owner to experience what it’s like on board, those keen to hire the luxurious superyacht for the week have to stump up at a minimum of €3 million ($3.5 million) for the privilege.

However, the price tag doesn’t seem to be putting off any of its admirers.

In fact, a spokesperson for Imperial Yachts, the yacht brokerage who manage Flying Fox and also oversaw the build, tells CNN Travel that interest has intensified in the last year, which has seen the minimum charter period extended beyond seven days.

Made up of six decks, Flying Fox can accommodate up to 36 day and 25 overnight guests who’ll be able to take advantage of its state of the art diving center, as well as its 400-square-meter spa, which is fitted with a cryotherapy sauna.

“Over the last 10 to 15 years we’ve seen development in areas like spas and fitness that have carried over from domestic or urban lifestyle into the boat lifestyle,” says Breman. “Some of the spas we have put on boats have been exceptional.”

Celebrity couple Beyonce and Jay Z were spotted on board the superyacht, which has a top speed of 20 knots and a cruising speed of 15 knots, earlier this year.

Sailing Yacht A

Sailing Yacht A is one of a number of significant superyachts by prolific designer Philippe Starck and is said to have cost over $400 million to construct.

Delivered by Germany’s Nobiskrug yard, the 143-meter sail-assisted motor yacht is powered by two engines, providing a maximum speed of 21 knots.

Comprising eight decks, the futuristic vessel can accommodate up to 14 guests and 37 crew members.

While details regarding its amenities have largely been kept under wraps, Sailing Yacht A is rumored to be equipped with a glass observation pod, as well as a helipad and a submarine.

“Born from the desire of the owner to ‘push the boundaries of engineering and challenge the status quo of the industry’, Sailing Yacht A is undoubtedly one of the most visionary projects Nobiskrug has ever been involved in,” Holger Kahl, then managing director of Nobiskrug, said at the time of its launch in 2017.

The largest yacht in the world by volume at the time it was built, Dubai was originally commissioned by Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei.

However, the ambitious project, which has a gross tonnage of 12,488, would go on to be passed around during the build process before being taken on by current owner Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum of Dubai.

The 162-meter superyacht designed by Andrew Winch of Winch Design was built by Platinum Yachts in Dubai (where else?) at an estimated cost of $400 million.

On board, Dubai holds everything from a disco, to a cinema, along with a submarine and a lobster tank across its eight decks and is powered by four MTU-20V diesel engines that can deliver maximum speeds of at least 25 knots.

Delivered by Lurssen in 2021, Nord is one of the newest, and biggest, superyachts on the water.

Formerly known as Project Opus, the 142-meter superyacht, which has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, was devised by Italian design studio Nuvolari Lenard.

“Nord was designed with one idea in mind: she must cause strong emotions in every observer, not only through her sheer size, but with the design itself. No one should be left indifferent,” Dan Lennard from Nuvolari-Lenard said in a statement, before describing the vessel as “a warship wearing a tuxedo.”

“Whether you like the design or not, it must strike you. Nord is a serious ship first and foremost, but she also transcends the traditional language of yacht design.”

Powered by four engines, Nord has a maximum speed of around 20 knots and a volume of 10,154 gross tonnage.

It covers six decks and can accommodate up to 36 guests in its 20 cabins, with amenities such as a beach club, as well as a spa and two helipads on board.

Developed by REV (Research Expedition Vessel) Ocean, a not-for-profit organization established by Norwegian billionaire Kjell Inge Rokke, REV is an entirely different kind of superyacht.

The 183-meter expedition vessel currently under construction at Norwegian shipyard VARD is scheduled for delivery in 2024.

Designed by naval architect Espen Oino, REV is to be powered by ultra-quiet hybrid propulsion and will have a top speed of 17 knots.

Once launched, it will technically take over from Azzam as the world’s largest superyacht.

However, there’s been much debate over whether REV can be classed as a superyacht given that its primary purpose is to study the oceans of the world, although it will be available for charter for recreational purposes and expeditions.

With space for 28 guests in its 18 cabins, the vessel is built with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure and has a gross tonnage of 17,440.

Project Y910

Unlike many of the other superyachts featured, Project Y910 i s still under construction.

But the 120-meter conversion project, which is currently up for auction, could join the ranks as one of the biggest superyachts in the world within the next two years if it finds a buyer soon.

Originally built by Polish shipyard Stocznia Gdynia, it was launched as a 90-meter passenger ship named Vladimir Chivilikhin in 1990, serving as a commercial vessel for nearly a decade before it was refitted and expanded.

However, the project was later put on hold and remains unfinished.

Project Y910 was listed for sale as a conversion project earlier this year, with a €25 million asking price, and is now being auctioned online via Concierge Auctions , in partnership with Boathouse Auctions.

Although yachts of this size tend to take around five years to build, Project Y910 is already partially complete, which means the process will likely be far shorter.

“She’s an amazing vessel in terms of what she could offer a potential owner,” Stirling, who has been involved with the design for the project for over 20 years, tells CNN Travel.

“It’s designed to be an explorer type yacht. It can go anywhere, whether it’s polar regions, the Pacific or the Mediterranean. As many adventurous locations as you want to go to.

The vessel has been receiving a lot of interest from bidders during the auction, which ends on November 23, and with no reserve set, it’s set to become the biggest yacht ever sold under the hammer.

“It would be fantastic to see her complete,” adds Stirling.

What Constitutes the Procedure for Crafting Custom Luxury Yachts Catering to High-End Clientele?

• Design and Conceptualization: Based on the client’s requirements, the yacht construction company will create a preliminary design and conceptualize the yacht. This may include 3D renderings and mockups of the yacht’s interior and exterior. The client will have the opportunity to provide feedback and make changes to the design.
• Contractual Agreement: Once the design and conceptualization are finalized, the yacht construction company and the client will enter into a contractual agreement that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and budget for the yacht’s construction.
• Construction: The actual construction of the yacht begins, with the yacht construction company managing the entire process from start to finish. This may involve the fabrication of custom components and the installation of the yacht’s systems and features. The client may be kept informed of the progress through regular updates and site visits.
• Delivery and Commissioning: Once the yacht is completed, it will be delivered to the client and commissioned, which involves testing and fine-tuning of all systems and features. The client will have the opportunity to inspect the yacht and ensure that it meets their requirements and expectations.
• Maintenance and Support: The yacht construction company will provide ongoing maintenance and support for the yacht, ensuring that it operates smoothly and efficiently. This may include regular check-ups, repairs, and upgrades as required.

Note that the exact process may vary depending on the yacht construction company and the client’s specific requirements, but these are the general steps involved in creating Most Luxurious Yachts for high-end clients.

The rule-breaking superyacht Logica 147

For a yacht whose start in life was anything but conventional, the razor-sharp Logica 147 has emerged not only great, but amazingly well adjusted.

The owner, a media and real estate tycoon based in Canada, had no intention of entering the superyacht business when he asked the Benetti Sail Division – a yard more known for its canoe-sterned motor yachts – to change tack by building the 44.8 metre superyacht in 2011.

Her deceptively simple profile comes from the drawing board of Luca Brenta Design, a studio best known for the 37 metre Vitters sloop  Ghost  and its influential styling work with Wally Yachts. This, though, was the design team’s first motor yacht project, and its sailing pedigree is clear in Logica 147’s lean, low-slung styling. The more generous spaces afforded by a motor yacht meant Lorenzo Argento of Luca Brenta Design could let his imagination run wild, and this is most evident in the spectacular 5.5 metre pool on the roomy foredeck and sun-worshipping platform atop the upper deck’s coachroof.

But in the middle of the build he realised he wanted ownership of the entire project, so he bought the Logica brand from Benetti Sail Division and shifted his part-built yacht to a different yard in Viareggio for fitting-out. At a stroke he became a superyacht builder – and a very good one. The evidence was the talk of the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2014; all clean lines and smart, dark navy hull, Logica 147 gleamed beside the entrance of the Vieux Port as if standing guard.

Logica 147's sharp exterior styling flows seamlessly into the bright, contemporary interior from Martin Kemp Design, a London studio that has established a solid reputation for its work in yacht and jet design and also in high-end private properties. Logica’s owner particularly admired Kemp’s work on the yacht and residential projects of developer Candy & Candy, and you can see echoes of the luxurious minimalism of modern penthouse apartments in Logica’s straight edges and rectilinear layouts, highlighted by vast windows throughout.

Vertical and horizontal lines such as the stainless steel splines in the oak-floor planking in the saloon emphasise the interior spaces’ height and depth. Reflective surfaces – mirrors, glass, polished ebony, lacquer – lend a sense of opulence and substance, as does the use of leather and luxurious fabrics throughout. Alongside these design touches are unexpected twists: optical fibres woven into the rugs and there are unique lighting fixtures by Kemp, the show-stopper amongst which is an incredible chandelier above the dining table that wouldn’t look out of place in the Tate Modern. Painted wooden panels, meanwhile, screen the sturdy mechanics of the side doors onto the main deck.

“Lots of the detail – things such as the stainless steel, the leather and the marble – is there to show what we are able to do as a boutique shipyard,” says Logica 147’s captain Thomas Donati, who came from the owner’s prevous boat and worked on the project throughout the build.

Nothing illustrates this boutique approach as well as the resin-encapsulated, turquoise, “liquid metal” bulkhead panelling, which is the first thing you encounter on entering the saloon through the cockpit doors. The panelling was custom made by Ian Abell at the Based Upon studio in London, and is best used as a stunning backdrop to the dining table.

The main deck master cabin wins all the prizes for accommodation. Those big windows are used to maximum effect, creating a bright, appealing space that overlooks the long foredeck and pool. Down a few steps behind the sleeping area are a small lobby office and a marble bathroom along the centreline, with a bath that sits underneath a skylight and large, walk-in shower. Down below are four comfortable guest suites, and, unusually, a VIP cabin tucked in the stern, behind the engine room and handy for the beach club and fitness equipment.

All this style is more than backed up by Logica 147’s performance, with that straight stem and attractive retro flare adding more than just a sense of purpose to the yacht’s exterior.

“She is full displacement, with a long waterline,” naval architect Pierluigi Ausonio, from PLANA Design, explains. “The hull is particularly efficient.” Lorenzo Argento from Luca Brenta Design adds: “Working with Ausonio, we tried to optimise the transom exit and bow entry because that’s where noise and vibration are generated and what we achieved with a small team in terms of noise and efficiency was above expectations.”

Proof of the pudding is in the Logica 147’s performance. “She does 17 knots at full load – actually, 16.9 knots to be strictly accurate,” her owner says. Easing back to 15 knots gives the yacht a 3,200-mile range and reducing speed still further to 10 knots increases range to 6,500 miles. “She is fantastically economical and very stable – on sea trials with RINA we did a full-speed 360 and only heeled by seven degrees,” adds Captain Thomas Donati. “With the stabilisers on it was only two degrees. They (RINA) were very surprised.”

Great pains were also taken to keep noise and vibration to an absolute minimum. Captain Thomas Donati says that regardless of the boat-speed you simply cannot tell from the wheelhouse whether the engines are running. Her owner adds: “At full speed there is silence in the saloon – you can hold a conversation. At 10 knots we cannot hear the engines in the cabins.” He admits to some noise in the sixth cabin in the stern, caused by the auxiliary generator mounted on the other side of the bulkhead; a shame since in other respects the roomy VIP suite is the best guest cabin. “We learn from these things,” he says. “My previous boat was a 30 metre made in Italy – it was supposed to be a speedboat, but it was too heavy. We learned from that too. With this yacht we didn’t want to make the same mistakes. We have been very careful with the quality.”

Logica 147 was launched in the summer and according to Captain Thomas Donati completed a three-week, 1,700-mile shakedown cruise around the western Med – Corsica, Sardinia, Tunisia and the South of France – without a hitch, including one non-stop, 23-hour passage without a single buzz or bleep from an alarm. That must be virtually unique for a new yacht. As a customer, owner and now boatbuilder, Logica’s owner has a unique perspective on the superyachting business: “Buyers in this market can be difficult people,” he says. “Perfection is expected – it’s normal. You have to always balance costs with expectations.”

Given all the things that could have gone wrong – from using a designer unused to motor yachts to taking on a superyacht halfway through its build – the owner claims not to have found the construction stressful, and actually found it acted as a kind of therapy. “The build was very enjoyable – it had a calming effect,” he says. “It takes time and patience to achieve perfection. All the details have to come together: concept, décor, design. It is very interesting to work with engineers and naval architects.” There are plans afoot for an even bigger version of this first Logica, which will exhibit the same heady mix of form and function. More time and patience, then – and one of the calmest shipyards in town.
