 These
days was launched the largest and most expensive yacht built ever
– Eclipse. The yacht has overall length of 155.20 meters (or
509 feet) and length between perpendiculars of 147.00 meters (equals
to 482 feet). The beam of the super-yacht is 21.50 meters and the
draft of the yacht is 5.00 meters. This definitely now is the largest
and most expensive yacht of the world. The yacht is property of
the well-known Russian billionaire – Roman Abramovich. The
yacht Eclipse is going just a step in front of the second largest
private yachts Dubai and Pelorus. The newly built Eclipse yacht
was built from Blohm & Voss Shipyard in Hamburg, Germany. The
beautiful yacht can be valued to price of 350 millions USD. The
beauty owns two helicopters’ caps, 20 water jets and own submarine.
This is only the beginning when we start explaining the wonders
of Eclipse yacht, because when some Russian oligarch starts to orders
extras for his yacht, sometimes he forgot everything. The submarine
is boarding from the bottom of the yacht and this allows for the
owner to board the yacht in absolute privacy. Also the security
on board is from the highest level, which is important for rich
businessman like Abramovich. All windows are with protection B7,
some of the largest possible protections known. The yacht has own
places for the bodyguards and there is at least 5 possible exits
if the yacht is attacked. Also the own security system can prevent
more serious attacks to the yacht.
 But
what is one yacht, if there is nothing for the owner and guests.
Security is not everything and when we are talking about 7 stars
yacht like Eclipse this can be easily seen. The yacht has large
pool outside with large Havana bars surrounding it and one more
pool inside for practicing swimming or making wet parties. Also
the bars in open-air are designed for nice moments of the owner
with his friends. The small cinema, library and restaurant are making
this yacht to be closely to cruise ship. The large lobby is furnished
with modern and classical elements. The yacht has 9 decks, first
of which is only for the machinery and engine room. The second deck
is the docking place of the 12 people large submarine. The same
deck has one small disko-club, where guests can have fun. Upper
decks are for the entertainments and living area. The possible capacity
for guests on board is 12, who are divided into 8 apartments. The
largest apartment is the owner’s one, which is situated on
5th deck on place of 5,000 square feet. This apartment has own verandah
with nice ocean view and two large rooms. Also for the comfort of
the owner, builders added small private garden in deck, which can
be reached from the verandah. The other 5 apartments are double,
all of them with balconies and nice ocean view. The last 2 rooms
are single. Also as I mentioned earlier there is special place for
the security on board. This will allow for the ship-owner to be
all the time is security place even on board of his yacht. The yacht
Eclipse is interesting with one more think, the maximum speed of
the yacht is 26.2 knots, while cruising one is 25 knots. This is
pretty much for steel yacht with such size. With simple words the
yacht is one pretty large and beautiful hotel designed for the one
of the richest people of the world – Roman Abramovich.
