Top5 Amazing Most Expensive Super Yachts That Will Shock You

In this artickle we will explore the top five most expensive super yachts. Expensive yachts are popular among the wealthy and are symbols of status, alongside private jets and mansions. These luxurious vessels range from 79 to 500 feet in length and are staffed by professional crews. The demand for high-end yachts has been increasing, especially since 2020, leading to a shortage in supply and fully booked construction yards, making it a lucrative time for yacht manufacturers. So let’s began.

5) Dubai Superyacht

Dubai Superyacht is one of the most expensive super yachts, built for $400 million in 1995 by Blowman Voss and Larson, originally intended for the Sultan of Brunei’s prince. Construction ceased, and Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum finished it in 2001. With a length of 530 feet, it was the largest yacht from 2006 to 2009 until surpassed by Eclipse and Azzam.

The yacht features eight decks, accommodating 88 crew and 115 guests, with amenities like a 10-meter swimming pool, a squash court, a cinema, water bikes, a disco, a lobster tank, and fine dining for 90. It includes a helipad and two motorboats, powered by engines allowing speeds of 26 knots for 8,500 nautical miles.

4) M/Y A+

The M/Y A+ is one of the most expensive super yachts, valued at $527 million, owned by Mansour bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, who is a significant figure in the UAE and the owner of Manchester City soccer club. This yacht is notable for being 482 feet long and 70 feet wide, able to travel at speeds up to 25 knots thanks to its powerful engines. Launched in 2012, it is currently the ninth largest yacht in the world, featuring eight decks, a swimming pool, double helicopter landing pads, and luxurious accommodations. The crew provides exceptional service for Sheikh Mansour and his guests.

The Azzam is one of the most expensive super yachts, worth $605 million, owned by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan of the UAE. Sheikh Khalifa is a prominent figure, being the chairman of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, which manages nearly $900 billion. This wealth makes the yacht’s cost seem less extraordinary. Built by the German shipyard Lürssen Yachts in 2013, the yacht is 590 feet long and can reach speeds of 32 knots, powered by gas turbines and diesel engines producing 47,000 horsepower.

The yacht accommodates 35 passengers and has a crew of 60, allowing guests to enjoy luxurious amenities in a serene environment. The name “Azzam” means “resolute” in Arabic. The yacht features a helipad and around 50 guest rooms, including a master suite, all designed by Christophe Leone of Nauta Yachts. Remarkably, it took just three years to complete its construction, making it significantly longer than many other yachts.

2) Eclipse

The Eclipse is one of the most expensive super yachts, valued at $1.5 billion and is built by Blohm and Voss, a subsidiary of the leading shipbuilding company Lürssen. Launched in 2010, it was the longest yacht until the Azzam was launched in 2013 and remains the fourth longest today. The Eclipse features two powerful diesel engines that allow it to reach speeds of 22 knots, and it includes a missile detection system and a submarine that can dive up to 50 meters deep.

Additionally, it is equipped with an anti-paparazzi system that uses lasers to prevent digital cameras from taking photos. The yacht also boasts 24 guest cabins, two large swimming pools, hot tubs, a disco hall, and two helipads. It is owned by billionaire Roman Abramovich, who is also the owner of Chelsea Football Club and wealth estimated at $18 billion.

1) History Supreme

History Supreme is one of the most expensive super yachts, the most expensive yacht in the world, valued at $4.8 billion. It is the smallest yacht on the list and is not particularly fast or equipped with many utilities, but it is unique for being covered in gold, platinum, and other luxurious metals. The ship was designed by Liverpool luxury designer Stuart Hughes in 2011. Although the owner’s identity wasn’t confirmed, hints suggest it belongs to Malaysian billionaire Robert Kwok, who has a net worth of over $10 billion.

The yacht features a master suite with walls made of meteoric stone and a sculpture created from real T-rex dinosaur bones, valued at $89,000. Peter Lersen, CEO of Lersen, emphasizes that constructing such yachts creates numerous jobs, employing over 4,000 families and providing additional job opportunities in maintenance.
