As Far As You Can Sea: World’s Largest Superyachts

Multimillion-dollar mega yachts.

by Emma Treagus Published on February 2, 2024

At Luxe Digital, we independently research, review, and recommend products we love and that we think you will love, too. Learn more about how we curate the best products for you .

With onboard swimming pools, cinemas, helicopter landing pads, and spas, the world’s largest superyachts have more facilities than your ‘average’ five-star hotel.

Owned by some of the world’s wealthiest people—along with a few anonymous owners who’d prefer to keep their luxury transport a secret—these mega yachts redefine the word “boat” into something indescribably sleek, stylish, and seriously impressive. 

If superyachts are your thing, you’ll want to read on for all the facts and figures on all of the largest yachts in the world.

The 26 largest yachts in the world

Multimillion-dollar mega yachts: our ranking methodology.

A superyacht or mega yacht is typically a motor yacht or sailing yacht with a length of 30 meters (100 feet) or more. For this ranking, we looked at the superyachts and luxury expedition mega yachts that are used privately or made available for charter. We excluded so-called ‘residential superyachts’ (think Njord and The World), which are essentially luxury apartment buildings at sea where people own private residences inside the superyacht rather than the whole yacht. By researching diverse, reliable sources like Wikipedia and the Superyacht Times, we compile a list of the largest yachts in the world.

Curious about other striking superlatives? Check our round-up of the most expensive cars in the world and the most expensive private jets in the world . They are both perfectly good alternatives to owning a yacht. And if you prefer to stay home, we’ve ranked the biggest homes and the most expensive houses in the world to give you some inspiration too.

26. Y721 (aka Koru) | 417 feet—127m

Ever wonder where Jeff Bezos spends his downtime? As of today, we’re predicting it to be on his $500 million superyacht. Y721—nicknamed Koru—is 127m long. And featuring three sky-high slender masts, Koru is said to be the largest sailing yacht in the world . 

With dark exteriors and natural wooden decks, Koru is inspired by another one of Bezos’ yachts—the Black Pearl. The clean lines and classically curved bow speak to an understated elegance despite the yacht’s mammoth size. While a long line of portals indicates at least 9 guest cabins. In light of all the secrecy surrounding Koru, we doubt Bezos will ever charter her out, but we can still dream.

25. Al Mirqab | 436 feet—133m

Adorned with cascading chandeliers and gold accents, Al Mirqab is renowned for its unrivaled interiors. Surrounded by suspended glass artworks, a grand staircase floats throughout the four floors. And inspired by authentic Arabian styles, the magnificent superyacht is reminiscent of a magic carpet ride through the seas . 

Built for the former Prime Minister of Qatar, Peterswerft-Kusch spared no expense in delivering Al Mirqab to an impossibly high standard for luxury. The large swimming pool is a standout feature as it opens up into the sea, creating the ultimate playground for adults. Al Mirqab has a capacity for up to 60 guests and is manned by an equal number of crew. Although you have to be invited by the politician himself as Al Mirqab isn’t available for private charter.

24. Serene | 439 feet—134m

Adeptly named, the magnificent superyacht embodies the serenity of a life at sea. Serene was built in Italy for a Russian owner in 2011. She was leased to Bill Gates for the Summer in 2014 for $5 million per week. 

Designed by Reymond Langton, the 134m mega yacht marries elegant sophistication with state-of-the-art technologies. The seven decks leave ample space for guests to soak in scintillating views. While the underwater viewing room—nicknamed the Nemo room—is a permanent gallery of resplendent sealife. The real-life snow room makes up to four inches of snow. And whilst this may seem odd when your billionaire boss asks for snow—you make it snow.

23. Crescent | 445 feet – 136 m

Yet another Lurssen masterpiece, Crescent pays homage to classic naval designs with traditional architecture and elegant interiors. Formerly named Project Thunder, she was built in Germany and delivered to Igor Sechin in 2018. The Russian oligarch’s superyacht was seized by Spain after sanctions were placed on Russia in 2022. 

Crescent features low bulwarks and full-height windows to maximize the view from the center of the boat. Her distinctive wing station provides unrivaled views for up to 18 guests. But don’t get your hopes up—Crescent is strictly for private use only and isn’t available for charter. 

22. Savarona | 446 feet – 136m

Savarona is the second-largest yacht built by Blohm & Voss and spends most of her time in the Mediterranean. This luxury superyacht is one of the oldest in the market — a perfect fusion of traditional charm and modern facilities. 

Previously named Gunes Dil, Savarona was designed by Cox & Stevens, with interior design carefully handled by Donald Starkey. She’s available to charter on a weekly basis and has been refurbished over the years. Back in the day, her cost price was $4 million, and in 1989, she was chartered by Kahraman Sadikoglu, owner of the Turkish Sadikoglu Group, who spent an estimated $50 million on refurbishing her from top to bottom.

21. Flying Fox | 446 feet – 136m

Flying Fox is known as the most expensive charter yacht in the world , and a week aboard will set you back around $3 million. Chartered by the one and only power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z in 2021, it’s filled to the brim with all of the luxury facilities you could ever possibly want. 

The Flying Fox is rumored to be owned by Jeff Bezos, although that’s a claim that’s never been totally certified. She spends most of her time in the Mediterranean, specifically Cannes, Capri, and Sardinia, although she’s recently visited Norway, too. She can accommodate the largest helicopters on the market, and it reportedly took more than 50 meetings with her owner for interior design to be completed.

20. Rising Sun | 454 feet – 138m

The Rising Sun’s original owner, Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle Corporation, sold her in 2010 as he considered her too large. Famously used by David Geffen for self-isolation, Rising Sun has also been a popular hang-out spot for celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Beatrice, the Princess of York. 

She’s a Superyacht with impressive attention to detail like interiors kitted out in teak and onyx and endless features like a full gym , a large wine cellar, a sauna, and a spa. She’s got a full-size basketball court that doubles up as a helicopter landing pad and a private cinema for those long evenings spent at sea.

19. Al Salamah | 457 feet – 139m

Al Salamah is part of the Omani Royal fleet and started her very secretive life in Genoa. Known as the world’s biggest superyacht right up until 2016, she’s a sleek masterpiece of a ship, with a distinctive cream color and beach club design. 

Al Salamah does everything in multiples, from the five galleys onboard (the main galley, a bakery, a crew galley, an owner’s diet galley, and an Arab galley), three hospitals (one for the owner, one for guests, and one for the crew) and 2,000 sqm of floor space. She was put on sale briefly for $280 million USD, before being delisted and instead given as a gift to the Crown Prince of Bahrain. 

18. Solaris | 458 feet – 139m

Everything about Solaris was supposed to be kept a secret when she was being built—a secret that didn’t last long when her huge size was spotted undergoing sea trials in the North Sea. One of this Superyacht’s main attractions is her beach club on the top floor: the perfect spot for relaxation during those long days out at sea. 

That beach club comes complemented with endless other stylish amenities, like a large helipad, sun deck, and a crane to launch tenders, toys, and subs. Interior design is largely unknown, but, if it’s anything as sleek and white as its exteriors, it’s sure to be impressive.

17. Scheherazade | 459 feet – 140m

Two helicopter landing pads, two outdoor Jacuzzis, and two outdoor fire pits: Scheherazade doesn’t hold back with not only the essentials but also the luxuries. Previously named Lightning, “Scheherazade” is mostly associated with a female character in the Middle Eastern folk tales in the series One Thousand and One Nights. 

Not much is known about this superyacht, and even her birth and building process were referred to under a codename: Project Lightning. No one involved in her creation, even Lurssen, has revealed anything about her interiors or her owner. All that’s really known is that she sailed from Germany to Norway initially after completion. 

16. Ocean Victory | 460 feet – 140m

Ocean Victory has traveled all over the world, from Europe to Southeast Asia and back again. Owned by Russian billionaire Viktor Rashnikov, she’s the upgraded vessel to follow his purchase of the 76-meter Ebony Shine. 

She’s one designed with pure luxury in mind, from the six individual swimming pools onboard to the 300-square meter spa area. She’s beautiful both inside and out, with a unique concept designed by Espen Oeino and interior designer Alberto Pinto. The largest superyacht ever built in Italy, Ocean Victory shows some of the finest in the world when it comes to premium quality adventures at sea.

15. Yas | 463 feet – 141m

Yas is known best for its seamless and rather unusual design — one that’s a little different from most superyachts out there. The owner of Yas wanted a yacht that lived up to his own heritage; one with a backbone reminiscent of the navy and with abstract lines throughout. 

He chose an existing boat in Abu Dhabi, which was deconstructed within the region before being shipped off and renovated into the wonder that it is today. The Yas yacht was originally a Dutch navy frigate, which you’d never guess from strolling around onboard today.

14. Nord | 465 feet – 142m

Nord’s distinctive bow design has never been seen before on a yacht. That’s one of the first things you’ll notice about her. The next thing you’ll notice is her unusual design, which verges on battle-esque and has been called “ a warship wearing a tuxedo ” by Dan Lenard of the Italian design studio Nuvolari-Lenard. 

She’s one of the best superyachts out there for fun, with a sports and diving center on the lower deck, a swimming pool higher up, overlooking the ocean, and a fleet of tenders. She was designed for global exploration: a yacht that will calmly cruise her way all across the world.

13. Sailing Yacht A | 469 feet—142.8m

Challenging the status quo and pushing design boundaries, Sailing Yacht A is an enigma. The sail-assisted superyacht was built in Germany and delivered to Russian tycoon Andrey Melnichenko in 2017. However, she was seized by the Italian police force, Guardia di Finanza, in 2022 after sanctions were placed on Russian businessmen following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. 

Distinguished by soaring rotating carbon fiber masts, Nobiskrug’s hybrid approach to superyachts makes Sailing Yacht A more eco-conscious than other luxury yachts of her size. The u nderwater viewing pod molded into the keel speaks to her unrivaled innovation. And many balconies are enclosed by some of the largest pieces of curved glass ever made. 

12. El Mahrousa | 478 feet – 146m

El Mahrousa had a few different names in her time, ranging from the translated “The Protected” to El Horreya, which in Arabic translates to “Freedom.” It’s not surprising that she’s had more than one name when you take into account her age. As the oldest superyacht in the world, she’s undergone a lot of restoration over time, including multiple lengthenings and faster engines. 

She was renamed back to El Mahrousa in 2000 and gained even more recognition for being the first ship to cross the new Suez Canal extension in 2015. Back in her original days, she was built on the River Thames and took her first trip in 1867.

11. OK | 479 feet—146m

Delivered in Japan in 1982, OK is one of the largest and most unique superyachts in the world. Sprawling over 479 feet, the water giant is engineered to submerge almost seventy percent. This is accredited to the work done by Karmarine Shipyard. While the majority of the vessel was built by Oshima Shipping, it was privately converted to a semi-submersible yacht in Turkey. 

The superlative finishing on OK superyacht was designed by Timur Bozca, winner of the Younger Designer of the Year award in 2015. The blueprint being as many games as possible. The extraordinary vessel has the uncanny ability to hold over seventy toys, including a sailing yacht, a sea plane, tenders, buggies and even a tennis court.

10. Opera | 480 feet—146.4m 

Like many of the most majestic water titans, Opera was delivered by Lurssen in Germany and built for Abu Dhabi royalty. This time, the owner is Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, son of the founder of the United Arab Emirates. And while it may not be quite as astronomical as Lurssen’s previous builds—Azzam, Blue and Dilbar—the streamlined vessel is equally impressive onboard. 

The three-story superyacht proves large enough for a pair of helipads and two swimming pools, amongst many other toys, while simultaneously making room for up to 48 guests and 80 crew members. When it comes to the interior, details are sparse, but we do know that it was designed by Terence Disdale, a London firm renowned for creating bespoke luxury spaces. 

9. Prince Abdulaziz | 482 feet – 147m

The Prince Abdulaziz’s yacht was ordered by King Fahd, who named her after his son Prince Abdul Aziz. Now, she’s owned by his brother, Abdullah. Just one of the yachts owned by the Saudi royal family, she’s spotted frequently throughout Europe, especially in Cannes, where the royal family owns a property. 

She’s been redecorated once — in 2007 — in a project that took 15 months to complete, without even taking into account the rest of the ship’s upkeep. The Prince Abdulaziz is known for its combination of bold colors and fusion of traditional and modern design, thanks to its influence from the late David Hicks.

8. A+ | 483 feet – 147m

What do you do when the name “A” is already taken for your superyacht? Choose the next closest thing: A+. Previously named Topaz, this superyacht was the world’s fourth-largest luxury yacht when she was built, before being stripped of that particular title only a few years later. 

Nevertheless, she’s a seriously impressive superyacht, with endless facilities like a large jacuzzi, double helicopter landing pads, a swimming pool with a swimming platform and underwater lights, as well as a fitness hall, cinema, and a large conference room. She’s also well equipped with water toys, like jet skis, inflatable boats, a catamaran, and even a mini-submarine.

7. Al Said | 508 feet – 155m

Another Superyacht built, shrouded in secrecy, Al-Said was referred to as “Project Sunflower” the entire time she was being created, right up until she was delivered to her owner in 2008. Not much is known about Al Said, from her movements through to her amenities — although she is known to have a huge concert room with space for a full 50-person orchestra. 

Currently, she’s flying the flag of Oman and has spent a lot of time in its surrounding waters. Her interior was styled by British designer design house RWD, with exterior design being credited to Espen Oeino. When she was delivered to the Sultan of Oman, she replaced a previous ship of a smaller size. 

6. Dilbar | 511 feet – 156m

Dilbar, or Project Omar, as it was originally known as, is another superyacht designed with the help of exterior expert Espen Oeino, but with interiors strikingly designed by Andrew Winch. Dilbar is famously known as the world’s largest yacht by gross tonnage (interior volume) but as the fifth-longest superyacht in the world. 

She’s home to a spa pool and beach club, as well as a large private cinema, spacious cabins set high on the main deck, a spacious dining room, and a salon with its own piano. She’s just as classy and beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.

5. Blue | 527 feet—160.6m

Sunday blues simply cease to exist on one of the world’s most extravagant superyachts. The elegant behemoth was built for member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi and billionaire, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan in 2022. Valued at over $600 million, Blue is one of the most expensive superyachts in the world. And with a strong emphasis on the environment, this superyacht is also one of the most sustainable. 

Blue strives to be as environmentally friendly as possible. She is equipped with a highly efficient Diesel-Electric Hybrid Propulsion Concept developed by Lürssen’s own engineering specialists. And the wastewater treatment plant allows water to be disposed of in drinking water quality.

4. Dubai | 531 feet – 162m

Dubai had multiple names in the planning stages—including Panhandle, Platinum, and Golden Star. Owned by the ruler of Dubai, it was aptly named after its home country and comes with all of the luxurious amenities you’d expect from such a name. 

The Dubai comes complete with a huge swimming pool and two jacuzzis. Further down, you’ll find a large dining room with striking blue and burgundy decor and space for up to 90 guests. Dubai usually spends her time moored at Sheikh Mohammed’s private island in front of his summer palace in Dubai. She’s basically the definition of a floating palace.

3. Eclipse | 533 feet – 162.5m

It took around five years for Eclipse to be built from start to finish. While she was always designed to be a huge, luxurious Superyacht, the focus was more on decking it out appropriately rather than breaking any records. An award-winning superyacht, she’s incredibly spacious, with endless rooms to explore and a sleek, neutral color palette running through. 

The Eclipse’s owner, Roman Abramovich, was more focused on facilities: he wanted more than one helicopter pad and a large swimming pool, too. Other than that, designer Terry Disdale had free reign for the rest of the superyacht. It’s just as much a clean piece of architectural styling as it is a stunning experience on deck.

2. Fulk Al Salamah | 538 feet – 164m

Fulk Al Salamah translates to “Ship of Peace” and that’s something that sounds like a given when you’ve taken a look at this superyacht’s incredible layout. Developed under the codename Project Saffron, Fulk Al Salamah is more of a support vessel than she is a typical superyacht. 

While she might still come complete with all of the necessities for a particularly relaxing voyage, she’s more so known for being a transport ship for the Royal Navy of Oman. She’s also used as a sort of friendship boat — pun intended — and is often sailed across the world with the intention of strengthening ties with the Sultanate. In some ports, influential people are welcomed onboard.

1. Azzam | 590 feet – 181m

Most superyachts in the top 10 category have a few mere inches between sizes, but the Azzam shoots far ahead with a large amount of extra length. The largest superyacht in the world, she was never designed to win the title — rather just to be a sleek and elegant vessel. Azzam was crafted backward, with the plans for her interior confirmed long before her exterior was fully signed off. 

Her length only came to be as such to incorporate everything required for the interiors, which added an extra 35 meters to her overall size. She’s also designed to look smaller than she actually is, with a blend of indoor and outdoor living. It took more than 4,000 people to build Azzam , clocking up six million man-hours over a period of four years.

The largest yachts in the world: Conclusion

• Azzam—590 feet
• Fulk Al Salamah—538 feet
• Eclipse—533 feet

The most expensive yacht in the world

The fact that the History Supreme, the world’s most expensive superyacht, comes coated in gold, is only part of the reason for its high cost. A superyacht with a real-life Midas touch, it was sold to an anonymous Malaysian businessman for $4.8 billion. 

Robert Kuok, the richest Malaysian businessman, is the rumored owner of History Supreme, but no one has confirmed for sure. The History Supreme also comes with plenty of other impressive touches: a master bedroom decked out in platinum, a wall feature made from meteoric stone, and a genuine T-Rex dinosaur bone, to add to the list. 

She took three years to build from scratch and comes with 10,000 kilograms of solid gold and platinum. Other seriously luxe features are her 68 kilograms 24-carat gold Aquavista Panoramic Wall Aquarium and a liquor bottle adorned with a rare 18.5-carat diamond . The base of the vessel comes wrapped in gold, too.

Eine der größten Jachten der Welt: Scheich nimmt "Blue" in Empfang

Lürssen-schiff ausgeliefert einmal auftanken kostet 500.000 us-dollar: scheich nimmt 600-millionen-dollar-jacht "blue" in empfang.

Der arabische Scheich Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan ist kein unbekannter in der internationalen Jacht-Szene. Schon mit seinem ersten Schiff , der "Topaz", sicherte sich der Milliardär eine Stellung unter den zehn größten Jachten der Welt. Die "Blue" setzt noch mal einen drauf – aber trotzdem reicht es nicht für den ersten Platz.

Erbauer Lürssen meldet auf seiner Homepage stolz: "Nach der erfolgreichen zweiten Probefahrt der "Blue" Ende Juni verließ die 160 Meter lange Lürssen- Jacht am 2. Juli die Werft in Bremen und trat ihre Jungfernfahrt ins Mittelmeer an, wo sie nun ihre erste Saison mit ihren neuen Eignern verbringen wird."

Auf dem Königsweg Schwimmende Paläste: Königshäuser und ihre Jachten – eine Übersicht

Nicht die größte, nicht die längste – aber ein gigant.

Bei einem Blick auf die reinen Eckdaten der "Blue" dürfte so mancher Oligarch vor Neid erblassen. Das Schiff misst besagte 160 Meter und gehört mit 15.320 Bruttoregistertonnen zu den "voluminösesten Jachten" der Welt. Nur die "Dilbar" von  Alischer Usmanow und die "Al Said" des omanischen Sultans Haitham ibn Tariq sind größer.

Informationen zu den Eigenschaften des Schiffes sind bisher noch rar, da die Auslieferung erst kürzlich stattgefunden hat und die Lürssen- Werft gegenüber der Öffentlichkeit äußerst verschlossen ist. Das Branchen-Magazin "Superyachtfan" schreibt, die "Blue" biete Platz für 48 Gäste in 24 Zimmern und dass die Crew rund 80 Menschen umfasse, die in 40 Kabinen unterkommen.

Auf den wenigen Bildern der Jacht ist zu sehen, dass das Schiff zwei Landeplätze für Helikopter bietet. Für das Design – sowohl außen als auch innen – soll Terence Disdale verantwortlich sein. Disdale arbeitet seit 1973 an Jachten, wirkte auch an Roman Abramowitschs "Eclipse", Paul Allens "Tatoosh" und der "Al Salamah" von Sultan ibn Abd al-Aziz Al Saud mit.

Die Mega-Jachten der Tech-Milliardäre: So luxuriös schippern Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates und Co. über die Weltmeere

Einmal auftanken für 500.000 US-Dollar

Diversen Berichten zufolge soll die "Blue" über 600 Millionen US-Dollar gekostet haben. Die jährlichen Betriebskosten werden bei derartigen Schiffen mit rund zehn Prozent des Kaufpreises angesetzt. Die spanische Sportzeitung "Marca" schreibt, dass alleine das Auftanken der Jacht des Manchester-City-Eigentümers 500.000 US-Dollar koste. In diesem Bericht finden sich auch weitere Informationen zum Schiff, etwa, dass die "Blue" einen Swimmingpool, ein Fitnessstudio und diverse Restaurants beherberge. Nichts davon wäre überraschend – bei Jachten in dieser Größenordnung gehören diese Merkmale zur Grundausstattung.

Erbauer Lürssen ist indes besonders stolz auf den Antrieb. Die "Blue" schippert mit einem diesel-elektrischen Hybrid-Antriebskonzept über die Meere, welches Lürssen entwickelt hat. Es beinhaltet zwei Diesel-Motoren mit Einzelgetrieben, die bei langsamer Fahrt auch mit rein elektrischer Kraft angetrieben werden können. Ein modernes Abgasnachbehandlungssystem soll außerdem die Stickoxidwerte senken und weniger Lärm und Vibrationen erzeugen.

Schlepper ziehen riesige Luxus-Jacht durch winzige Kanäle

Eine familie, drei riesige schiffe.

Eigner Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan ist Mitglied der Herrscherfamilie von Abu Dhabi und Minister für Präsidentschaftsangelegenheiten. Seit 2009 gehört ihm der Fußballklub Manchester City. 

Die "Blue" ersetzt Berichten zufolge seine alte Jacht "Topaz", die fortan unter dem Namen "A+" fährt. Der Scheich soll die Jacht an den umstrittenen saudi-arabischen Kronprinzen Mohammed bin Salman al-Saud verschenkt haben, angeblich als Teil eines Deals um das Da-Vinci-Gemälde "Salvator Mundi". Die "Topaz" war unter anderem das Urlaubsdomizil des selbst ernannten Umwelt-Aktivisten Leonardo DiCaprio.

Die Herrscherfamilie von Abu Dhabi festigt mit der "Blue" ihren Platz unter den reichsten Jacht-Aficionados dieser Welt. Die längste Jacht der Welt, die "Azzam" gehört schon seit 2013 zum Familienbesitz – sein Bruder Chalifa bin Zayid Al Nahyan nannte sie sein Eigen, er verstarb im Mai 2022. Ein weiterer Bruder, Scheich Abdullah bin Zayid Al Nahyan, hat wohl ebenfalls eine neue Jacht bestellt.

Sheikh’s superyacht ‘violated’ Tuscan bay

Italian environmental campaigners have accused the United Arab Emirates’ foreign minister of sailing his superyacht through protected waters off the Tuscan island of Giannutri.

The criticism threatens to destabilise relations with one of Italy’s key economic and diplomatic partners.

Giannutri is one of the seven islands that make up the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, where strict rules preserve the natural and marine environments.

The environmental charity Legambiente said the 146m (480ft) superyacht Opera, owned by Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan, had violated the protected waters on July 17. “Like in a film, motorboats and water scooters emerged from the belly of the megayacht and romped about in the protected waters of the island, an area off limits to normal mortals.”

Legambiente asked Italy’s foreign, environment and

Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan arrives in Dubrovnik

The magnificent yacht ‘Opera’ has anchored near Lokrum Island in the afternoon hours of Tuesday. This impressive yacht spans an impressive length of 146 meters. It belongs to Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan from Abu Dhabi, the son of the founder of the United Arab Emirates. The yacht, valued at $450 million and built in 2022, can accommodate up to 48 people.

Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates just bought a new yacth

With a name like Opera, what else can one expect from a superyacht other than grandeur and beauty, not to mention attention to detail and stunning features...

Superyacht Opera wowed onlookers as it was launched from the Lurssen shipyard in Bremen, Germany. The magnificent superyacht has gigantic proportions thanks to a gross tonnage of 11999.0 GT and a beam of 20 meters.

The stunning luxury yacht is built with a teak deck, steel hull and aluminium superstructure. We'll have to wait a little while longer to get a peek inside its interior, but official images reveal a jacuzzi on the sundeck and a swimming pool on the main deck aft. The yacht has seven decks, which implies that there will be enough space to accommodate guests and a fairly large owner's suite. We won't be surprised if the primary suite turns out to be a multi-level wonder that looks like a five-star hotel.

The design team remains under wraps for now, but the yacht's lines resemble a number of Terence Disdale's projects. A Lurssen beauty of this shape, scale and size will likely be equipped with state-of-the-art entertainment systems and amenities and storage for a range of water toys. The images also reveal a helipad on the foredeck, as well as a large swimming pool on the main deck and a spacious beach club.

Superyacht Opera is worth 450 million dollars, and the magnificent yacht was commissioned by Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates. The beautiful yacht is scheduled for delivery in 2023.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the UAE is a man whose worth is estimated at 10 billion dollars. The political science graduate is the half-brother of the late UAE president and Abu Dhabi ruler Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. It seems that owning giant yachts is a family hobby as the president was also the proud owner of the giant yacht Azzam. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan is Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Development Foundation and Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Abu Dhabi Development Fund (ADF).

Headed by UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, commonly known as MBZ, this affluent family holds approximately six percent of the world’s oil reserves and strategically invests in globally renowned businesses, ranging from Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty lingerie line to Elon Musk ’s SpaceX, according to The New Yorker.
