The ranking of the 5 largest yachts in the world
Here is the new ranking of the 5 largest yachts in the world, also shared by the specialized magazine Boote Exclusive. In the first place? .... a yacht of well over 180 meters!
The scepter belongs to him: Azzam, the yacht of just over 180 meters, from stern to bow, like two football fields.
Built in the shipyards of the historic German company Lürssen of Bremen-Vegesack, it holds the record for the largest yacht currently in circulation since 2013, the year of its launch. It belonged to Prince Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Emir of Abu Dhabi, who died in May of this year. Presumably, the yacht now has a new owner.
Azzam, 20.8 meters wide and costing 500 million euros, is powered by a one million-liter tank and two diesel engines that deliver a total power of 94,000 horsepower. It can even exceed 30 knots. There is also an anti-missile system and a submarine on board.
Fulk Al Salamah - 164 meters
Second place goes to "Fulk Al Salamah", 164 meters long. The eight-deck yacht is used as an escort ship for the Omani state ship, “Al Said” (seventh in the ranking).
The yacht was built in 2016 in the Mariotti shipyard in Genoa. The gross tonnage is 11,000 tons; has a crew of 300 people.
Eclipse - 163.5 meters
Built in 2010 in the Blohm + Voss shipyards, it is owned by the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovic. On the "Eclipse" yacht there are - among other things - two swimming pools, a submarine and a missile defense system.
Costing about 450 million dollars, on its 163.5 meters of length there are, among other things, two swimming pools and two helipads, three helicopters, a disco, three boats and a small submarine.
Dubai - 162 meters
Fourth place for “Dubai”, built in 1996 by Blohm + Voss for the brother of the Sultan of Brunei.
Since 2001, the yacht has belonged to Sheikh Mohammed bin Raschid Al Maktum, ruler of the Emirate of Dubai, sentenced in absentia by the High Court of London in 2020 for intimidation, kidnapping and torture.
Seven bridges, it travels at a speed of almost 50 km / h.
Blue - 160 meters
The “youngest” yacht of the top ten was built by Lürssen in Bremen and made her maiden voyage to the Mediterranean in July 2022.
"Blue" also belongs to Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi, who owns Manchester City football team among many things. It is said to have cost over $ 600 million.
